Niki is at a "Learning How To Talk" stage.
She'll look you straight in the eye and babble a string of 8-10 clear, distinct words in English/Manglishy (Malaysian English)/Tamlishy (Tamil English), with impressive inflection, "Pulehu Pottee Pelerky Manee Malee La Le Lah and ends with hmmpph?"
And most times, Vicky and I have giggling fits and speak back to her in a similar manner.
In English, however, she can only say, (starting with her first word) : Bubye, Uh-oh, Hello, Yes, Chicken, Fish, Claudine, Vicky, Hot, Dadda, Ma and her name, Nikita

She can nod yes but its usually no, and now can POINT to what she wants. Which has made things SO much easier. She can follow simple instructions. Dance on command. Anticipate regular house practices - when she wants to go for a walk she'll head to the shoe drawer and demand that I take her slippers out and put it on for her & take her out. She can brush her teeth as we do every morning, she recently got her first pink Mickey toothbrush!
At one point or another I shall take a photo of all her clothes that are never worn coz Mommy is a shopaholic!
And me and Vicky absolutely adore her hair, its soft, wavy & jet-black! We're waiting for it to grow longer and then we can tie braids, or style it up abit, or maybe punk it up a bit heheheh!
