Miss C's development - 17 months old

Miss C is walking all over the house now, and often tried to break into a run as and when she saw Master C running around the house. She has grown taller too but she is not as healthy weighing as we hope she will be. Update of her height and weight will be done once I measured the markings indicating her height on our wall. - height is measured at 74.5 cm

Her lexicon has increased tremendously too, able to articulate her intention well. Asking us to "open" for her the doors, bottles and boxes, "take" to indicate she wants to take the toys that she has "dropped", and especially good in "Don't want" and "I want tu-tu (pacifier)". Other words like airplane, elephant, dog, wov-wov, tiger, duck, bird, lion, car, shoes, uncle, milk... She will also respond to music by breaking into a dance er... bending forward and backwards with strong emphasis on the stomach movements and nodding of her head. If she heard a dog balking in the park below our flat, she will point to the window and asked to be carried up to have a look at the dog downstairs. If she heard footsteps on the corridors or ding-dongs of the lift beside our flat, she will walk straight to the metal gate and call out "Hello" and wave to the "uncles" & "tis" (aunties)...

But hor, she is still waking up at least once, sometimes twice, at night and nowadays she needs to be carried and walk around for a longer time. Cannot stop walking or sit down or she would cry out in protest and it takes at least 10 - 20 tries before I got lucky in placing her back into her crib. When then can we enjoy a good night sleep 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep???
