Clapping hands and Putting Things in Cups

Meili has finally learnt how to clap her hands. Started two weeks ago at the end of her tenth month and now does it all the time. 

Just last week too she began putting small objects in containers then dumping them out again. The first time she did that, she spent a whole hour practicing. This week she has been putting her food in my hand, much prefered to throwing on the floor.

Baby Vocabulary at 11 months

Meili will hopefully be trilingual. I haven't been very consistent about talking with her in Malay and Cantonese/mandarin but from her 10th month I have been making good effort. I speak exclusively with her in on of the three languages for a third of the day eg Malay in the morning, chinese in the afternoon and English at night. 

She currently understands these words (I think!):

Mama, papa, nen nen (milk), up, down, come, sit down, lie down, no, wait, carefully, hot, gentle, sayang (caress/love), push, banana, apple, mango, strawberry, avocado, soup, water, cream (her eczema cream), bird, quack quack (her ducky), hoo hoo (her owl), book, bath, sleep, give. 

Below is a pic of Meili demolishing an avocado.
