Norelle is 14 Months!!

Hiya everyone, the cheeky girl is 14 months today. We had a great day as we brought Norelle to TTDI Park in the evening. The weather was cooling and the wind was very breezy. What a nice day to stroll on the park. HY slowed down the car when we were approaching to the park so that Norelle was able to see the monkeys roaming around the area. Those monkeys were quite tame and they wont disturb people. Norelle was taken in at awe by the sight of those monkeys. She always has this 'blur but serious' look on her face when she is concentrating on something.

When we arrived, we let her walk on her own since she's able to walk now. And I want her to walk instead of sitting on the stroller. I showed her the flowers alongside of the sidewalk and she recognized it and said ' Fwa wer’ while pointing at them. Then we spotted a monkey sitting on the fence and she got so excited and gave out a loud shriek! The monkey was disturbed by her loud voice and started to climb up a tree nearby. Norelle still kept her sight at the monkey while kept pointing and shrieking at the same time.

Next, we let her walk on the grass bed towards the children play area. I let her touched the grass and felt it on her tiny hands. She was enjoying the new sensation and when she spotted the 'view' (play area) in front of her, she quickened her pace and tripped. Luckily just a small fall and it did not hurt her knees. She was beyond excited when she saw the slides. She wasted no time in getting up to the slide (with the help from daddy) and happily slid down. This continued for a while and then we moved on to the next spot – man-made stream. TTDI Park has a nice man-made stream where little children (or adults) can have a lil’ dip or catch some tadpoles. There were also some banks of sand where kids can built ‘sand castle’. Families can even have their own picnic literally by the stream! How wonderful is that?

We were eager to see Norelle’s reaction towards the stream and decided to let her have a dip in it. HY held on to her while trying to dip her little feet into the cold water (as the weather was quite chilly), she was taken aback due to the coldness of the water and she doesn’t seem to like the sand either. Hmmm…must be the weather. We continued our ‘journey’ to the man-made waterfall. But was disappointed as the waterfall was ‘turn off’ when we reached that place. So, no waterfall only rocks formation lor…

It was getting late so we decided to walk out of the park, and then we spotted some turtles and fish in the pond. Norelle was delighted to see them swimming in the pond. Then her attention shifted to some birds on the ground and she was ‘trying’ to chase the birds. It was such a nice sight looking at how happy she was just by seeing those birds. That reminds me to always ‘take some time out and smell the flowers’.

All in all, it was a nice outing whereby Norelle learned a lot about nature and we were happy that she got to see, smells, taste, touch and feel the things that GOD created.

'hmmm...where should I go first?'

'I want to do this on and on and on and...'

'daddy, have you check the pH level of the water? I dont want it to damage my delicate skin'

'daddy, can you please make sure my feet are completely dry before putting on the shoes?'

'bird, bird..wait for me...'
