She slept well and would always suck her fingers while sleeping. She loved to smile very much and didn’t cry noisily. She had a pair of large eyes and was obedient and beautiful. She liked sweets. She had normal physical development, and her hands could grasp toys easily. She was comfortable with her caretaker, leaning on her should just looking at her. She liked to be touched and kissed. She was a very happy baby with a big smile.

“Whenever the caretaker holds her up, she feels or holds the face of the caretaker, sometimes she puts the hair or ears of the caretaker and stare at her face, then kiss her with strength. She can roll over on her own, roll over easily when playing on the mat. Whenever the caretaker goes into the room to hold her, she will roll over immediately and raise her head up very high to look at the caretaker once hearing the voice of the caretaker. When the caretaker calls her name and say hello to her, she will laugh incessantly, sometimes turn around in the crib excitedly. No she can sit for awhile leaning on the wall corner or the body of the caretaker. Her legs are also very stron. When the caretaker is holding her, she always jumps excitedly and kicks her legs with strength. When changing her diaper, her legs also kicks incessantly and she dances for joy.”

“She has good speech development. When the caretaker holds her or teases her, she often utters ah, ah, sound gladly.”
