Zo Ee says - aaaahhhh.... 12months old

Zo Ee at 12months 1week old (20/4/2009)

I can’t remember exactly when do Zo Ee started giving me this “aaahhh…” reply with a smile on her face. This actually means “yes” to her, and the smile must be

" Ooh! Finally my need is understood."

Zo Ee wants milk

........................................

Zo Ee : “mumbling…mumbling”…while cruising restlessly.
Zo Ee : “nan-nan, nan-nan, hmmm……”
Zo Ee : “babbling …babbling ….”
Me : “ Zo Ee, do you want some milk? Do you want mummy to make you some milk? Yes? Milk for you? “
Zo Ee : “aaaahhh…. “ with a happy smile on her face.
Me : “ Yes? Milk for you?”
Zo Ee : “ hmmmm…. nan-nan, nan-nan” (nan-nan = milk in Cantonese)

Zo Ee wants my attention

...............................................................

Zo Ee : “babbling…”
Zo Ee : “ hmmm…. hmmm…. hmmmmmm… “
Zo Ee : Moving nearer towards me, “ hmmm… hmmmm…. Hmmmm…”
Me : “Zo Ee, what do you want? “
Zo Ee : getting restless with her body movement (trying to jump; usually moving her buttock up and down) while saying “hmmm….. hmmmm…. Hmmmm…”
Me : “Do you want mummy to play with you?”
Zo Ee : “aaahhhh….!!!” with a smile.
Me : “ Or do you prefer mummy to do some readings with you?” (she loves reading)
Zo Ee : “aaahhhh….bok…bok…” while crawling towards her books, waiting for mummy to join her.
