Mummy bought this very Chrismassy dress for Nadine from Perth. It's Nadine's 1st Christmas. So of course she must celebrate it with style - Christmas tree, Christmas dress and Christmas gifts. Christmas food will come next year.
It's less than a month to Nadine's 1st birthday. She's been blabbering for a few months now. And Daddy and Mummy think Nadine's said her 1st words - Papa, duck duck, Mama - in that order.
Both Daddy and Bibi say that Nadine calls Daddy "Papa" whenever she sees him, and when Mummy's not around. But when Mummy's around, no amount of coaxing will make her call Papa. Yes, Nadine's a little diplomat in the making.
"Duck" - Mummy's very sure coz each time Nadine sees her rubber duckies when she's taking her shower, she'll happily call out to them "duck duck".
"Mama" - Daddy claims that Nadine's called out for Mama a few times when he's bullying her, and when she sees Mummy. And yes, Mummy's heard it herself too. But she just refuse to be as delusional as Daddy. Or rather, imaginative, the word that Daddy prefers. But since it's happened a few times now, Mummy's ready to officially acknowledge that Nadine's called her.
Mummy's more sure of Nadine's sign language. She signs milk when she's drinking, and on Sunday night, on the way back from BFC's cell Christmas celebration, Nadine actually signed milk in the car - it was an hour past the usual time that Mummy would feed her. Poor girl was hungry and tired, after 2 Christmas parties and 1 birthday dinner.
Nadine's 1st sign was actually rain. Whenever she sees rain, she'll happily sign rain. Not sure why of all words, rain gets her most excited. She can now also do her bye-bye and fly kiss. And something else Bibi taught her - "chow chow" - smelly in Hokkien. But she simply refuses to sign please, thank you and sorry. Hopefully she'll start signing those words soon!
