Merienda and TV

Busy week

Last week was a busy week for me. Normally, I have lots of playtime at home with Memi, some swimming time and lots of shopping and grocery time with Memi. Last week was lots of playdates.

Monday: 930am -1100am - waffle breakfast, playing and shopping with mommy for yaya's birthday.
3pm-615pm - play at yannick's house
Tuesday: 10am-1130am - play by the pool and playground with Katharina
Wednesday: 10am-1130am - play by the pool and playground with Katharina
Thursday: 3pm-530pm - playgroup with Katharina and her friends Maya and Louisa. Yannick was also there. Played at Katharina's house, and then played with the water at the fountain play area beside the playground.
Friday: Stayed home. ;) I was still sleepy from waking up early.

Chab says

Chab slips and falls on the floor.

Chab says: Ay siwi (I'm sorry), floor.

Chab takes a bath. Time for a last rinse with a tabo full of water over her head.

Chab says: Ayaw. aykensi ( I can't see).

My 1st Haircut!!!

Today I had my first haircut! Memi wanted to cut my bangs because they were getting into my eyes already, Daddy said no, not yet, he couldn't bear it :) But Daddy said otay at last, so the hair won't sting my eyes especially when my head's all sweaty.


Here is the "before" picture.

















Memi did the 1st cut right in the center of my forehead and it was diagonal! Waahh!! Memi talaga!

















Cut! Cut!

Ay!

Daddy had to continue the cutting to try and make it even, but I was getting all squirmy so he had to stop otherwise he might accidentally poke me with the scissors. So look at my head, my hair's all diagonal and uneven...eeep!!

















Then I drank some milk (ay-side!) and then fell asleep on the couch. Daddy cut my hair again and made it even..he took a pic while I was asleep..

Yay! Better now! :D

3 new phrases

Daddy: Chab, say "Rainbow."
Chab: "Bei - boom."

Daddy: Say "Christmas!"
Chab: "Kump-sumps."

Daddy: "I'm sorry."
Chab: "Ay siwi"

:D

A full day

I woke up today late at 1030am and found katarina and her memi at my front door. Katarina wanted to play :)

So, I changed my dipes and put on some pais, put some toys in my push car and followed her downstairs. :)

We played all morning with her baby stroller, toys and my push car. I shared my french toast breakfast with her and she liked it very much. We played on the steps and on the slide in the playground.

After 1 hour of fun, we decided go home to get some water to drink :)

Upstairs, I had my bath and chicken carrot soup lunch (yum!). Then, it was off to Junction 8 to ride the bus. :) I liked riding the bus, and naming everything I saw inside. Ambeya! Book! tiangle! Daddy! Hat!

We made it to the doctors office, where I saw fishies and played with a nice wooden pull toy. I think I should have one of my own. Hint, memi!

I met the doctor, who gave me my MMR shot. He was very nice. He gave me a turtle spin toy to play with, so I wouldn't be scared, and after my vaccine he even gave me some gummy candy. My first candy! I told him, "More!" Hahahahaha.

This is my doctor's pic n website.

15 months

I am 15 months old now :) I can ride my ice cream cart and push it forward with my feet while riding all by myself. :) I can blow a whistle and climb up the couch without help.

I can talk and laugh with you and feel sad if you are sad. I can express feelings of frustration (tantrums!), fear, excitement and happiness.

I love going outside now and exploring.

I can say borrow and eeewww (when I first touched sand). I like helping out mopping and pretending to talk on the phone like daddy. I don't like to sit in my stroller the whole time that we are in the grocery. Sometimes I like to help put things in the grocery cart. :)

My favorite toys are 'baking-baking' (a spoon and a cup to practice mixing), and an empty bubble bottle during my bath.

I like to experiment to see what reaction I get. I try shouting, pinching, dancing and asking for applause. (cap!)

My "just woke up" hair

Wanna see me after I just woke up?? Click on the pictures to make them stop and grow bigger.

Having a fever

I'm having a slight fever right now. Memi and Dade think it might be because of my teeth. I am growing 3 at the same time right now, ow. Sacket (sakit).

It started yesterday around 5pm at 38.3 degrees C. Got worse at night at bedtime, so I went to bed early.

"Memi, milk."

Took my paracetamol at 230am 38.9 degrees. I call my medicine kenni (candy).

Woke up with a 37.2 temperature :)

Also, I went swimming yesterday... Before I got sick of course. :) Here are some of my pictures

Using phrases

Memi covered my face with my towel. I said, "I can't see, I can't see", but actually it sounded more like: aykensi aykensi :) hehehe

You say potato, I say a-to-pa-to!

I can talk! I can talk! I say atopato for potato. I said it in the taxi all the way home until i fell asleep :)

You say vegetables, I say "budja-budja-budja-bols!"

You say potato, I say "a-to-pa-to!"
You say pasta, I say, "ta-pas"
You say cup, I say, "up-c"
but I know how to say cup now :)


I can name many things now. I can say the words for most of the things in my abc book. I say apple, ball, cake, doll, kite, ice cream, nuts, pail, rattle, shoes, umbrella, and watch. The rest of the pictures, I sign.

I climbed up a slide for the first time today :)

Knowing how

I was watching Dora the explorer today, and I saw an ice cream cart. So, I went to the kitchen to get yaya.

I said, "Come!".

"Krim!"

And brought her in front of the TV.

"KuK!" (I meant 'look')

13 months, I can ask for things I want

I'm thirteen months old now. I can do almost everything! hahahaha! Today I asked for a banana from memi by signing it and saying "nana". Before, I only used to say it if Memi or someone mentions it, but now, I know how to ask for things I want.

I also know how to sign "open" and today, I asked Memi to open my jumping rockstar ball with batteries.

I missed my 2nd nap during the day, so around my bedtime, I asked Memi for milk by signing and saying "ilk".

I can say most words now, and I love to copy everything I hear. I'm saying "Ay!" a lot now. I know how to say "GO!" if I want to go out or go out of a door. I can say "tee" for tree, "be" for bear. I can say cow, and "ca" for car. I also say "ba" for umbrella, and "mo" for more. Other words I say are "light", "Pooh", "Dowa" for dora, "now", and "ap" for up. I use 'up' a lot when I want to get out of the high chair, out of the crib, out of the changing table, when I stand up when I'm playing by myself and when I want to climb things.

I still smack my lips when I sleep. I hold my feet for Memi sometimes to help her when she changes my diaper.

I like to go to bed at 1030pm and wake up at 9am, so that I can see daddy before he goes to work :)

I had many small bumps already from my walking and exploring around the house, but I am having fun. I like going out more now, because I can walk and explore.

I'm enjoying playing with the mirror we have at home. I always dance in front of it, and go to it if I have a new outfit on, or if they fix my hair, or just if I want to do silly things like bending sideways, smiling and making pa-cute. That's when I hold my shoulder near my chin and smile and have my arms stretched straight with hands together, fingers outstretched.

My new tricks are: raspberry, indian indian, wrinke nose and sit down.

Dancing, dancing, dancing

Chab learns how to step and dance. Here she is playing shaun the sheep's theme song on the website on the laptop. Halfway through the video she does her dance :) She also says "back" at the end of the video, because "Shaun, the sheep will be right BACK on Disney Channel"

Happy Eating

Looking back at my 8th month, our move

This is me back when I was 8 months and first discovered standing up. I loved holding on to the couch and looking out the window at teksis (taxis). Now that I can walk, I don't look out that window so much anymore. I like exploring!





I also had to pack my clothes 2 times.

Looking back at my 8th month and first teeth

UK Fun Fair at Bishan

It was my first time to go to a carnival. I was one year old. I rode the pirate ship, that was like anchors away at enchanted kingdom



And the go cars (not the bumper cars)


I liked the car, but I was scared on the pirate ship. I was shaking. I was in shock, I just held on to memi really tight without moving or talking, until we reached the Mcdonalds and got some ice cream, and then I felt better :)

Driving Bananas

Chab's first time to ride token cars. See her drive!

First Gigil

Chab learned the sign for "cold" last mother's day. She was 11 months old here.

WOW! YOUR BABY IS ONE YEAR OLD!

By Jill Tomlin

Take time to pull out the photo albums and review the miraculous changes you've witnessed in your baby this past year. Incredible! Most important, revel in all baby can do as she celebrates her first year. Baby has a delightful sense of humor, and she takes great pleasure in teasing you. She loves to express affection, and she's most likely has mastered the art of hugging and kissing. What a great year it's been -- and what an amazing adventure your family has ahead of you.

Milestones this month | Food for thought | Doing little things a lot better | Play group, anyone? | Just for mom

• She engages in gibberish conversation. - chab has her own language at night, and talks herself to sleep. She repeats everything we say now, and likes to talk much.
  
  
• Baby responds to simple commands. - chab knows how to say how old she is by holding up one finger. She can also show her belly when you ask, and touch her brown hair, when asked, "where's your brown hair?" She can do 'gigil', beautiful eyes, and many more.

My first playdate

I had my first playdate today with my neighbor, Katarina. She is 1 year old and 4 months. We just played with some of her toys and I brought some of mine to share with her. I had orange juice and some German stick bread that Tita Alina shared with me. I enjoyed it very much. I tried to tap Katarina on the shoulder while she was drinking water from a glass, but mommy said not to, because she might spill her water. :)

I was up for playing because I just woke up, but Katarina had a bad toothache because her molars where just growing. She was not up for playing that much, but she still did, and she and I even danced to some German nursery rhymes.


I tried a push toy, but I didn't know how to use it, so I just carried it around. :)

Til next time!

Other uses of a balloon

Birthday Blast!

I'm one year old! A whole year blogged right here.


My birthday was a blast! I had 2 funny clowns who did magic and a bubble show, lots of Dora giveaways and a mascot! Dora the mascot looked like Dora the rat killer, not Dora the explorer, but we all had fun. Everyone danced! I had a bounce where I could jump and play, given by Grandad, and Granmum. I also had a hotdog cart, cotton candy and lots of ice cream!

The best part was spending it with my family. Daddy, Memi, Lolo, Grandmum, and Granddad, Tito Joey (baby....shark!), Ninang Kat, and my twin, Tita Jec. Tita Jec looked just like me when she was a baby.

Thank you Memi and Daddy! Thank you Grandmum for arranging the party there in the Philippines.
