Long due update!

It's been a long time since my last update (well, the last one on our scan doesn't count as there wasn't much on Bibou). So here's my guilt update! It has been difficult in the evenings as Daddy is working now and he has long hours. Most of the evenings, I have to rush home to get Bibou, get her dinner ready and our dinner ready too. Tonight, the traffice wasn't too bad, so we got home at a decent hour. Out came the camera and I snapped away!









It's been a month since the last update I think and boy has Bibou changed in that time! She's so much more chatty and responsive. Her vocabulary has increased tremendously both in English and French. She can also tell us what she wants more or less, like 'encore water' or encore chocolate (her favoriate of course :)). She can count up to 10 in both English and French and tell you what animal sounds a lot of the animals make (like dog - bow wow, cow - moo etc). She can switch between English and French, like when she says Merci with her nanny and thank you with us. Her favoriate singing includes a number of her fav songs too! She's a regular parrot too! Picks up words soooo quickly. Our recent newest addition that made Daddy and I just crack up was 'come on'! Especially in the morning when we're chasing her to hurry up to get ready for 'school' / 'work' for us. (oh and hurry hurry too).



She's very independant and strong willed. If she has set her mind on something, it's difficult to try and persuade her otherwise. Our persuasion skills are put to the test! It's a bit of a bartering trade sometimes. We choose our battles of course. Much easier. She is however, really sweet at most times, very thoughtful, generous and caring. She loves to give big hugs (and say BIG HUGGGG) and lots of kisses. Waking up with her is just great as she gives hugs and kisses to wake you up.




She plays very very nicely with Margo, her new companion at tatas. They play very well together, and she no longer has a 'sharing' problem with Margo. (she does still have a bad sharing problem with other kids though). The other week when tata had the week, she went to another tata who looked after baby twins. She was very very helpful and sweet with them. She was always kissing them and stroking their faces. She would go and help get their bottles, picked up stuff that the babies drop, rock them if they cry, get their pacifer etc. The tatas said that she was a biiiiig help.


She's a big girl now. She can take off her coat and scarf and hang it up all by herself. She takes off her shoes when she gets hone. It's a real joy to be wth her. of course I shan't go into details abt her tantrums!!. Please enjoy these latest updates of photos! Until the next time, which shouldn't be long, seeing that Christmas is round the corner!
