Immunization schedule for chab

Look here

Bishan Park 1

This afternoon, we went to visit Bishan Park for the first time. I loved playing in the grass and running around by myself. There was a lake with turtles and I liked crossing the red bridge.









Here are some more pics.

Vivo playtime

Here I am on the way to Vivo City on the purple line.



Playtime! It's hot!!!

Chinese new year lion dance

Ugh! I hate the drums on Chinese new year. I'm always scared because it's so loud!

I did like getting a shiny new coin, though.


And, I wondered what the lions wrote on the floor with the orange wedges.

Shoe shopping

Last Sunday, Daddy, Memi and I went shopping. We went to Great World City and Marina Square. I got my first pair of sneakers! I ngove it! I've been wearing them everywhere for 2 days now.

I wear them to the grocery, playground and when I am out for walks.

Thank you Daddy and Memi!

Chab talks

Elisha knocking at the door...
"Daddy...Get memi's nenen.."

After pooping, Elisha says...
"Daddy said, BAHO!"

At the playground..
"Katharina...where are you? Elisha is here!"

While eating pancakes yaya made with banana in them
"I don't like the banana flavor."

After eating corn chips and salsa at Margarita's mexican restaurant...
"You member the spicy? You dip it, you get it, you eat it?"

hahahahah

Chab talking to herself

"I want to duggle (juggle)."

"Doctor said.... I'm a doctor..."

"Pastastastas"

"Let's make our own mep."

"I'm going to playgound"

"I will put the ball here"

Walking down the street

This year, I'm doing a lot of walking. Sometimes I just like to jump off the stroller, or maybe not bring it at all.

Here I am walking down the sidewalk going home from mass.

Chab goes to karaoke

Here is the title



Let's sing

I can sing along with the songs, old macdonald, twinkle twinkle little star, little peter rabbit, happy birthday, london bridge, are you sleeping, the wheels of the bus, abc, etc.

I rode the MRT and I saw a bar to hang on and I hugged it and said, "I love you bar!".

18 months, a big girl now

Holiday in Manila


Mastering making sentences, Chab mostly speaks in complete sentences now.

She can jump with 2 feet off the floor for the first time!

She has moments where she is super kulit! Just like her "drunk" episode at Omakase on Memi's bday. See the video where she wants to "Cheers" with everyone at the table.







She ordered ice cream from the waiter at 1 and a half years old! She tapped the waiter who was behind her and said, "One ice cream, please!"

Our holiday spent in Manila was the first time Chab met and lived with so many people at one time, and she was able to memorize and recall all their names.

Chab's version - Their names
Dandad - Grandad
Namum - Grandmum
Ngongo - Lolo Nards
Ninang Kat - Kat
Tita Jec - Jessica
Toto Doey - Joey
Tito Bobby - tito bobby
Tita Pinky - tita pinky
titipia - Pia
Tita gin - Regine
Ngonga - Lola Liza or Lola mila

Now that she is thinking and talking a lot, Memi and Dadi have to start giving her more to learn while at the same time, teaching her the right things she can use for everyday :)


Some things she says now:

Bayooooooott!! Ponoy... (Balot, penoy)

Tahoooo!!! (taho)

tab's (chab's) riding the car.

Daddy's driving the car.

It's moving. when the car is moving

Where's elisha's water?

Ninang Kat is ready na. (as she saw kat dressed up going down the stairs)

I want banggo! (i want mango). She then follows this with... Or banana!

I ngongike (don't like) the foggy fog. (dora episode)

Open the pesents! (presents).

I'm a princess. I want a princess dress.

I ngove it. (i love it) - said after opening a present. it was pj's.

I ngike it. (i like it) - said after eating something she likes, like chocolate, cookies or broccolli.

It's sleeping time.

Engisha swim. Engisha walk.

Do you see the clouds? I found it.







She can sing Jingle Bells, and Feliz Navidad. After watching a Dora episode, she can also sing Feliz Compleanos.

She sang "Big Girls Don't Cry" at a KTV bar at TimeZone. See the video.

Raises her voice, and repeats what she is saying, if she knows she is not being paid attention to.

Can sort simple shapes and put them in their proper hole.

She likes bags, wears them and says, "I'm going to school."

Enjoyed going crazy at the toy store last Christmas.

Was Dat?!?

My favortie phrase now is : "Wasdat?!?"

I speak in sentences now, saying things like:

"I like that."

"I get daddy's shirt."

"Elisha's toes stepping remote."

"It's ice cream."

Dora and Boots Live Best Friend's Day

We went to watch the Dora Show at United Square last Friday. I sat upfront just inches away from the stage :)

At first, I was covering my ears because the music was so loud! Then when Dora, the map and Boots came out, I recognized the songs and started dancing. :)

Above are the pictures from the show, and some pictures of the Spongebob show after.

I can construct sentences

Chab is spinning around and around playing. She says:

"Pinning!" (spinning)

"I'm dizzy."

"West." (rest)

And rests her head on the couch. :)

Chab is playing with her small round mylar ballon of Elmo, throwing it up in the air. She says:

"Catch it"

"Throw it"

"Throw Angmo (Elmo)."

"Weee!!!"

After she does this for a few minutes, she says:

"It's so Fun!!"

....hahahah...

She can construct sentences already and use the appropriate word for her situation! At 17 months :)

What are you doing?

Elisha reaches for the basket and scatters the contents on the floor.

Memi sees her squatting down beside the mess, thinking that she might have eaten one of the small things.

Memi: "What are you doing?"

Chab: "Pooping!"

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.
