I think Nat really takes after me. She is as talkative as me, if not more. Shestarted to babble alot a few weeks back. Whenever I sing her a song or make funny faces and noise, she'll look at me and smile or "talk". However she didn't show her true colours until yesterday.

She started to babble non-stop and smile and laugh alot yesterday and then at around 10 pm, we heard some new "sound" from her and from that moment on, she was babbling non-stop all the way until 2 am. She'll look up at me halfway through her milk time and smile and then babbles a little before continue drinking her milk. I tried to pat her to sleep while she's drinking but she forced herself to stay awake just to talk talk talk. I can tell she's really sleepy from her eyes and she's really full from all the suckling but she just forced herself not to sleep and in the end both of us got frustrated. She's frustrated coz she's sleepy and too full and yet want to sleep. I am frustrated coz I can't make her sleep and I want my rest. Thank God, I manage to make her sleep by 2 am.

This morning when she got up, she was smiling so happily to me and started to babble again when I talked to her. When I brought her to Tanglin Mall to have lunch with her Daddy, she was babbling non-stop in the breastfeeding room, not concentrating on drinking her milk. I can't help but laugh coz it's really cute to see her talk. When I was walking around while waiting for Gary, she kept talking too and sometimes smiled to herself. Ha Ha!

One funny episode:
My dad asked her in Hokkien, "Ah Gong teach you Hokkien, ai mai (want or not?)"
And she answered "Ai".
My Dad was so happy hahaha... though we all know that she just happened to make that sound.

She's so much fun to play with now. I think it's time for me to teach her how to talk. The good thing abt not working is I've all the time to my baby and I can witness her every little progress first hand. Guess I won't have that much time with her once I go back to work though I will be bringing her to the office with me.

Here's a picture of my talking darling..
