Baby Jennifer at 2.4 Years Old

One of the things that I really looked forward to do when going back to my hometown was to see my niece, Jennifer. Baby Jennifer is now two years and four months old. Not that small anymore but still utterly cute, smart and sweet. Everybody loves her.

It's been two days since I last saw her on last Saturday morning and I think I am lovesick with her. For the past two weeks, I was so used to see her around whenever I opened my eyes in the morning, hear her funny babbling all day long and have her run around in parents' house everyday, for almost 8 hours a day. It's just so weird to be away from her and don't witness all these little things anymore.

Now that I terribly miss her, there is nothing more interesting stuff for me to do than blogging about my little niece back home.

Anyway, here are some developments on Baby Jennifer at 2.4 years old that I noticed. Some people, including myself, don't believe that she is not even 2.5 years old by now. She has grown up so much.

• She is a little too fat for a baby at her age but she's too cute. She currently weighs around 16-17kg!
• She is very active and sweats a lot
• She knows a lot of vocabularies, is super chatty and occasionally loves talking on the phone.
• She has very good appetite especially on sweets, cakes and cookies
• She loves gardening, especially the 'pulling out the grass' activity
• She shows interest in books
• She quickly gets bored with toys
• She loves watching and listening to Mandarin karaoke DVDs and plays one particular song that she likes the most over and over again
• She doesn't really watch cartoons
• She loves sweeping the floor or playing with the broom, at least
• She does her eye shadow, lipstick and blush her cheeks on her own with my Mom's cosmetics everyday. She loves putting make up on and being pretty! 
• She is obsessed with wedding stuff, especially the bride
• She is very photogenic
• She is still glued to my parents like my parents' tail
• She starts to scream a lot recently, especially when we don't give her what she wishes
• She hates noisy places
• She fears doctors to the max and always associates doctors with syringe
• She still cries whenever she notices nobody is in the room when she wakes up
• She is a really quiet and well-behaved baby when we take her travel around the town or out of town by car
• She has a really good memory and is able to mimic lots of the habits of the adults surround her
• She can't wait to go to school

I miss her a lot and can not wait to see her again this July!
