December Anecdotes
Saturday, December 29, 2007

Just recently, my mom asked me if she can go to the C.R. to wiwi and I said "ayaw". She pleaded again much to her suprise I streched my arms and I said, "sa-ma". It was the first time my mom heard it from me. She's just happy I can now express myself more clearly therefore she'll be able to understand me more.

The next day after
our visit to Avilon's Ark, my parents were asking me about animals i saw from the zoo. As they mentioned crocodile, I said "Charlie" (he's the crocodile friend of maisy mouse), and then said "Swim" with my arms doing a freestyle action.

I can dance "kagat labi" and "papaya"
I can sing along complete with actions to "Mr. Sun" and "Itsy, Bitsy Spider"
I can imitate an elephant, stomp my feet wide apart with sound effects pa!
I know the following letters by heart: O, A and G
I like to scratch when my skin's itchy until it bleeds :( my mom kept telling me not to but I can't help but say "kamot"
I play my guitar along with Maisy and her friends (Maisy's ABC cd)
I have been watching Sesame Street cds lately and here are my favorite songs:
"I Love My Elbows" by Kermit the Frog -
mami laughs at me when i point at my elbows"Face" by Ernie -
i make mami proud by pointing correctly on parts of my face :D"Elmo's Song" by Elmo, Big Bird and Mr. S-
i love Big Bird most of allI now stretch at 2.5 feet
My shoe size is 22
I usually wear size 3 clothes
I still dont like clips, or necklaces or any other accessories and abubots
I love melon, grapes and apple
I now have 4 teeth and has regained my appetite
Oftentimes I still take two naps an average of 1-2hrs each, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I'm already asleep by 7:30pm unless my parents arrives before then and will probably play with them until 10pm.
On weekdays, I still wake up around 4am and 6pm the latest on weekends.
Nope I still ain't ready for my potty

We went to Dra. Dani today. I had my booster shot and my dad cashed out P3k for it, whoa! I cried tons and tons of tears pero kelangan talaga. My parents made it up for me by bringing me to SM for a half-hour play at Wonderland. Mom bought me a white skirt, a couple of cute tops and a blue topsider shoes (quite a deal for P75 only!)
Milestones, hmm.. my mom taught me her name as well as dad. So sometimes, she'll ask me to call "Dadi Gary" or "Mami Kitts". I love to play pretend like i'm talking to someone over the fone or do some home cooking. Right now, I love Nemo more than Mumble. I still love Pup more than Barney. I still have two teeth but love to eat nonetheless.
I can walk more stable now, loves to jump but barely can hehe I weigh 11kgs, no weight gain since last check-up but no sign of worries from doc. I had a slight cough and cold and a slight fever (perhaps due to the vaccine).

Monday, July 16, 2007
i keep pestering my mom to update my blog, she's just too busy, hmpf. anyways, 13months and 3weeks i have a couple of new antics. i love this particular yougart jelly that i always seem to make excuse to anyone just to open the ref for me and grab one. or i would play around with caps and bottles refusing to close the ref's door. also, i would walk and walk and walk around from sala to the kitchen and back. should someone say to me, "ano ka bang bata ka, kanina ka pa paikot-ikot jan, i will literally twirl around *lol* i have perfected the action song, "if you're happy and you know it" and currently practicing "head, shoulders, knees and toes" i seem to like jollibee and clueless who ronald is, i've yet to eat there ;) current favorite food includes anything with sabaw :D

I'll drop an object from my highchair and say "ay-ay" as if i didn't mean to drop it in the first place. i will often repeat words people say. i can ask for anana (banana), bread, cake, rice. will say the corresponding sound whenever i see an animal, like tweet-tweet for bird, aw-aw for dog, moo for cow, etc. sometimes i'll reach out for my book and try to read out loud. also, i can walk alone from end-to-end of our house.

I have already taken my first steps, well, a couple of weeks ago. My mom as usual forgot to blog about it and forgot the exact date :p
i can now immitate the following sounds:
cow - mooo
bird - twit twit
lizard - tsk tsk tsk *tongue clicking*
dog - awaw
duck - quack (but not as clearly as it should be)
still learning the sound of snake, bee and more!
i always like saying dede, dadi, papa (eat) and pap (papi her stuff toy), bata, baby, mama.
ask me how old i am and i will stick out my index finger for one :D i can also "pray". give me fruits any time of the day and i'll eagerly munch on it, more like gum on it. papaya, pear, apple, mango.. you name it, i'll eat it :D mom bought me this cool veggie juice and lovin it so far. yogurt is another fave. still no pearly whites though. my motto hasn't changed a bit, early to rise, early to bed. you'll hear my zzz's by 7pm the latest and will give you a morning kiss as early as 4am :D
barely a month to go, i'll be celebrating my 1st birthday and yes, finally my mom is now on high gear with our preps! she will be posting some updates on her blog if you want to know our status :D

the longest time she stood without holding onto anything was 29 seconds :D we'd catch her often clapping her hands while standing for a few seconds or so. she loves to walk around and super gala in our village. she prefers to ride kuya lean's bike over her stroller.
more in a while...

Milestone: Drama Queen
Friday, March 16, 2007
maybe i'll be a drama queen someday, say the magic word "iyak" and i'll do a short cry baby face :D say the magic word "tawa" and i'll let out a chuckle or two :D
did i mention already that i can now clap my hands, send you a flying kiss (which doesn't actually fly since my hands always get stuck in my mouth everytime single time, lol) and also for my elders, i can now reach for your hand and touch it on my forehead, the "bless" gesture if there's any other term for it :D
* * *
also, we moved back into to our house already. the thing is we don't have a helper yet. it's a good thing my wawa (lola) is with us to take care of me while my parents are off to work. i do hope my mom will be able to find one soon, i bet my wawa's back is aching every night.
* * *
had my first swim in our village pool last march 10 :D i truly enjoyed floating on water :D i wish mom had a cam with her to capture my pure delight :D anyways, summer is just beginning, we still have more opportunities. better remind my mom to buy sunblock for my skin, tsk..tsk.. bad mom! :p

You never did like it in your crib.
In barely 5 minutes you're
already raising your arms
wanting to be picked up.
