She did it...

One small step for Human, One big step for Renee!!

Renee is a week from her 16th month... And she did it! It's the trust, the confidence... The right time, mood and everything that boosted her morale to attempt taking a few steps without support!

Today, I actually saw her walking from a stool to a table (abt 2 steps away) with just a toy in that she grabbed tightly in her hands... She was doing her routine playtime in the living room and probably didn't notice herself that she actually could walk! Haaa...

In her room, still her playtime (well, besides feeding and sleeping, it's ALL playtime!!)... I encouraged Renee to walk towards me from the stool which she's been pushing around to navigate in her room... She hesitated, looked at me... Grinned... And rushed over! So I clapped my hands loudly and cheered with praises... Keeping her excited, we kept trying for a few times...

From stool, cupboard, BB cot towards me... And she was also eager to show Daddy when I called him over to watch this magical moment!! She would smile at daddy with that Victory look after she performed the stunt. LOL!!

And daddy had successfully exhausted Renee today with a brisk walk down Singapore River... She slept at 9pm tonight... What? 9pm!!!??? Yes! And I truly hope to keep this routine for her... No more rolling on our big bed, one round of all toys and pushing stool around her room before she hit the bed... Hee! Keep up the good work, Renee!!! (And thanks daddy for the yummilicious dinner!)

(And BTW, I finally re-attempt on bread-baking... Results turned out that it still looked like charcoal, as ever... But it's really bread texture within for this time... WuhOO!)
