Pointing out things

Chab takes a taxi to Ikea.

Looking out the window, she sees many trees along the road.

"Fayest!" (Forest!) she says.

Upon approaching the Ikea building, she says,

"There it is!!!"

The cab driver laughs. Memi says, "How did you know?" :)

At home, Chab is watching cartoons on TV. Memi changes the channel. She says,

"What happened?"

Chab is wearing her Dora panty, resting from wearing diapers. She taps Memi on the shoulder and says,

"Aw, man! Wee wee!" and points to her pee on the floor behind us.

Other words that Chab says:
Bath-a-wuhm =bathroom
Mush-a-wuhm =mushroom
Bember = remember
Gagol = juggle
Where are you
I found it

17 months, Learning on my own

I can eat an ice cream cone on my own.

I learned "abante ako!" while watching Game ka na ba. I also raise my fist in the air while saying this.

I can say "help" when i need it. I swinging and jumping, if only i could on my own already. :)
I can almost run run run fast like a big kid. I can use a key and open the tv closet by myself. :)

Had Katharina over again for a playdate. Here are some pictures.

Growing up

I love coloring. I make scribbles just after waking up, before sleeping and anytime I feel like it.

I can hide and pop up saying "peek-a-boo!". I love pretending to bake, or have a picnic. My favorite game nowadays is "find". I like pointing out things in a book while memi is reading. Also, I like finding the green peas on my plate along with the corn, rice, potatoes and soup. This makes eating fun. I can find things in a picture if memi says, where it is near or what the color is, even without pointing it out to me.

Stairs are my new challenge. Each morning I go down 4 stairs and climb up the ramp, go back down the stairs, and up the ramp. I repeat this all morning until I am tired.

I've learned how to swing, and tried doing it from the bar above the slide.

Playground Pro

I've almost mastered all the things in the playground. I can climb up the slide, walk across the bridge, identify the shapes and some numbers, drive the steering wheel, climb up the step to the spiral slide and slide down all by myself!

I can also climb up the car by myself, look!
