2 Dec 2007 - Use of straw and dog "beater"

Today, Jerlene learnt a new skill. She managed to drink water from a straw. Initially she just bite onto the straw and dunno what to do. But after a few times of trying, she finally managed to suck the water up. And once she knows the technique, she do it non-stop till she choke herself.....haha.........

One thing I must say is that there are many old folks tale that says if a baby is not given water to drink at the early stage, she will reject water in future. It does not seem to be true because in Jerlene's case, we did not give her any water for almost the 1st six months. But now, she loves water and she keep asking for more.


In the afternoon, we went to Tracy's auntie place and there is this dog that is larger in size than Jerlene. And you know what, Jerlene is not afraid of the dog at all. She even wanted to touch the dog. When the dog comes very close to her, she will use her hand to "wack" the dog. Sometimes she even use her leg to kick it. It's so funny and I must really say, Jerlene has got guts. Tracy cousin's commented that she has never seen a baby at this age who has no fear of her dog. Jerlene is the one and only so far....... :-)
