Three Baths for the Upset Baby

Because his routine for eating and sleeping was upset, we ended with an upset little boy. One who would only cool down after a bath.

*~*

He impressed his father's colleagues by eating veggies and dancing a lot and making pa-cute.

A Hard Day

Yakee got so many souvenirs today of his uhm... spiritedness. First, he skinned his right knee at Plaza Dilao while trying to play with the big boys.

Then he was amusing himself by going around in circles and bumped his temple big time on the corner of a cabinet. The bruise is smack dab in the center of his head/hairline.

Then Mommy failed to catch him while he was trying to cling to the stair railings like a monkey, so he hit the floor with the back of his head.

Poor, poor baby.

We watched SO MUCH of Signing Time videos today. One time, he even got the plug of the player and tried figuring out where to plug it so the video will play. He accidentally knocked the two remotes, looked at me, and proceeded to put them back in place (and stacked too!)

*~*

I know his Crocs slippers are still slightly big for him but because of that fact, he's also able to put them on by himself.

His Ninangs gifted him with a light basketball and basket ring and he's having a blast making his father shoot baskets while he refuses to let go of his new orange ball.

Yey and Sigh

Yakee ate eggplant today. It's really great that he's into veggies. He also ate mangoes again and shared yogurt with Ice.

*~*

His poop schedule changed again. Now it's in the morning again, after some thirty minutes from waking. Tsk.

Baby has colds! He woke up several times last night, crying and upset, but would settle back to sleep after I wipe his nose.

Pappie bought an Aqua Nappy for him yesterday and it fits him just right!

Nguso Boy

He insisted on blowing the candle on his cousin's cake

Funny, Scary

Yakee cannot be stopped from standing on things. He'd climb up on adult chairs. He'd stand up on his kiddie chair. He'd stand up on the seat of his toy car. He'd stand up on a table. He'd stand up on the seat of his bike.

*~*

He discovered my stuffed toy Jack-Jack. He loves it. He pronounces jack-Jack as ka-ka though :D

*~*

He rode double with Ice on his car and was feeling hir role as Kuya so much :)

Signing and Talking More

After months and weeks of babbling, it only just occurred to Mommy to record her son's babbling. Sus. Now I have a very clear recording of him saying "Mommy" :)

*~*

I am so happy about Yakee's eating habits. So happy that I allowed him to eat french fries and burger at McDonalds yesterday, and even sip softdrinks (Sprite?) too. Good thing though, he didn't have a lot of those but opted to eat rice and fried chicken the whole party time.

And last Saturday, when I cooked sinigang, he allowed me to feed him easily enough... what's more, he stayed in his seat (albeit standing up) during dinner and was very cooperative while I fed him rice. He fed himself radish from the sinigang. Mommy was truly, truly amazed!

With leafy veggies, he'd chew on them and just spit out the stalks.

Did I say, am proud?

*~*

He wouldn't watch other cartoons though. He insists on Signing Time vids all the time.

*~*

He had fun at Ice's party yesterday. He danced a lot, ran after the bigger boys as if they were playing with him. He even positioned himself right in front of the kids engaged in the party games. And this one time he was asked, with a mic, what the sound of a pusa (cat) makes, he answered accurately enough, "Miyaww".

He was asked again what sound a PIG makes, but just babbled on the mic. But still, Mommy was tres proud!

And of course, he insisted on blowing the candle on the cake :)

Finally, Lolo and Lola

Finally... after many months of attempts, Yakee can sign LOLO and LOLA :) And ABCD seems to be working for him, for us.
