Candra at 17 months :)

This little girl has been feeding herself for slightly over a week :)

She does a pretty good job... doesn't really make a mess. Somehow, she knows that she needs to stay close to the plate/bowl.. and she has good control over the spoon! Honestly, I did not expect her to be able to feed herself that quickly...:) Now mealtimes are much more convenient for all of us.

She's more than glad to feed herself......why? Because she finds us too slow most of the time when we are feeding her. Now that she can feed herself, she can control how much food goes into her mouth and how quickly... being such a foodie, that's the best! :p hehe

Thankfully, uncle KS bought her Sesame Street bibs :) She doesn't usually like to wear bibs, but because of the Sesame Street babies series, from Monday to Sunday... She willingly puts them on now :) And she loves to do her version of the "elmo song" when she puts the bib on.

Candra has also just learnt to swim :) Surviving with just hand floats on her arms now... she can move around the pool unsupported by anyone! That's amazing to me.......She's not 1.5years old yet. I think we made a good decision to start her immediately on the hand floats (with some support from us of course). Actually, it all happened last saturday when my dad insisted that we stopped supporting her during her swim. Well, we tried, we let go..and there she was...enjoying herself in the pool. Now she prefers to be swimming on her own.

Auntie K once commented that this girl's like a little fish............I think so too. She has absolutely no fear of water. :)
