Calleigh update:

Finally! I was able to capture a video of Calleigh counting and reciting the alphabet. ^^ As early as 7 months, (click here) she tried signing the alphabet. Naks! Proud mommy! Now, she can say ABCDE and mumbles the rest of the letters. heehee! ^^ And oh, she can count in Spanish too! I'll try to video that soon!

Calleigh at 16 months

Calleigh update:

Calleigh is 16 months old now. She has a couple of new favorite songs – Clapping song from Barney, If you’re happy and you know it (yun ba title nun?hehe) Itsy bitsy spider and I’m a little teapot. ^^ Hay salamat di na kme puro Elmo! ^^

She knows more body parts - she will tell you where her hands and her knees are, in addition to head, hair, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, bellybutton, fingers, elbows, nails, and toes.

She’ll say:

Hans – Hands

Foot or Feet – Foot / Feet

Hair – Hair

Eyes – Eyes

Eas – Ears

Nos – Nose

Mat – Mouth

Teeth – Teeth

Neck – Neck

Ebows – Elbows

She's also  into trying to do things herself, or pretending to do adult things. For example, if she sees a hair brush, she tries to brush her hair, or tries to brush my hair, or pretends to brush Elmos hair. tries to feed Elmo , big bird and barney or pretend to give them a sip of water out of a straw, and pretends to answer the phone. Cleaning her nails, washing her clothes, cleaning our room – o diba? Haha! Bata pa lang marunong na! ^^

About the talking... it is the most fun thing ever watching a baby learn to communicate. Every single day she says something new or puts different words together. She says too many words to count them all anymore, although not all are pronounced correctly.

For example:

Walk walk walk – She wants to walk

I wawa like – I don’t like

Watch TV / Watch Elmo or Barney – Gi, watch Elmo (Tito Jed watch Elmo)

Spidor - spider

Ans – Ants

Sip – sleep

Tater – Water

Eeepot – teapot

Stowis – Stories

Words that she can say correctly:

Fish

Nemo

Dog

Bird

Eat or papap (food) – sometimes you’ll hear her say come go eat.

Banana, Apple, Rice

Papoop – poop

Wash – she’ll say wash hands or wash papoop

Put alcohol

Dirty

Clap

Feet

Elmo

Barney

Okay or Hakey

Key

Come

Car

Book

Star

No

Wala

This and That

High Five

Comb / Comb hair

Smile

Bath time

Juice

Sit here

Get

Please

Diaper

Ugh, too many words... I will try to take more videos of Calleigh nalang. Heehee! ^^ That’s it for now.  Time to work, work, work...

Saying No is wrong!

What? How can you discipline your child if you won't say NO!! waaaahhh! 

Calleigh's pediatrician says: Do not use the word No to your toddler until she reaches the age of 3. If you keep on saying No to her and when she reach the age of "The terrible 2" ,Calleigh will not listen to you anymore and you will hear her saying NO all the time. She will throw that word right back at you. Try to limit using the word No, use different words and give her options then explain why. Yaiks! Good thing Calleigh knows the STOP sign long before hearing the word NO, and she knows it when I give her "the look" the right facial gesture and tone of voice to tell her "I don't like what you're doing". Hehehe!

It's impossible not to say that word! Kaloka! We were trying not to say it since last week. Ang hirap!!! hahaha! but yeah -- it is effective you won't hear Calleigh saying the word NO na din. BUT this is what she'll tell you if she doesn't like it.... I DON'T LIKE!!! waaaaahhh! bwiset!

Here's her video...

hay! goodluck talaga!

Talking Hands

Oh dear, I just realized that I only have a few photos of Calleigh during her 14th month. tsk! kainis!  

 Calleigh - 14 months @ Astoria Plaza Hotel

 

I was too busy with my cupcakes and IR photos... However, I have tons of her videos naman. I will be sharing that later... My little princess is now 15 month old. Still can't walk on her own, she's still holding onto furnitures or holding her ate's hand when walking but she can manage a few steps on her own before falling. ^^ Her teeth - Yey! Upper - 4 teeth and Lower - 5 teeth. ^^ Heehee! Calleigh loves singing and dancing. She still loves books, she can sit still and listen to a story for ten minutes or more, or pretends to read them. ^^ Talking is not a problem! I don't have to encourage her to talk because she talks non-stop. Her willingness to repeat all the words she can hear -- nakakaloka!

Here's a story:

Me: meron kausap sa phone - "hahaha! Pun-ye-ta kakaloka ang lula mo... blah blah blah"

(Calleigh was busy watching her elmo video, pag baba ng phone)

Calleigh: mom?

Me: Yes honey?

Calleigh: P-TA? P-TA? (laughs) mom happy? P-ta! P-ta!

Me: yap, mom is happy and I said fita anak!. (pabulong - yari ako sa tatay mo nito)
Calleigh: Fita? Eat? go down mom, eat!

O diba? di ko masabing NO kasi uulitin lang niya ng uulitin. Hahaha! O well, maybe it's time for me to share her videos...

Video 1: - Showing her nose, mouth, teeth, saying her name, kuya hanz and jayjay
