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!

Tricky Calleigh

Calleigh is 13th month old now. Hoorraayyy! But before I blog her toddler stories, I need to fix my computer first. Heehee! It's been 3 days since my computer crashed. I don't know why! I'm just waiting for Jayjay to fix it. Anyway, I will share some of her videos again... These were all taken yesterday.

Calleigh's new hobbies...

1. Start first with "Medicine Time"

Watch how she makes "ARTE" while looking at the camera.

See? She does this "arte" EVERYDAY! She'll be taking her antibiotic until Monday. I hope she'll get use to it na.

2. After her bath time... She will read all her books.

I love it!

3.Cleaning - yafifi! She likes to clean... hmmm, sleeping time na anak bakit ngayon ka naglilinis?

after 10 minutes....

Hahahaha! antok na kami nag lilinis pa din! maryosep anak! ^^ That's it for today. I'll be posting her 12th month stories and photos soon.

Don't sneak out!

Oh dear, my little girl is starting to get clingy again! 

I've been busy preparing for her 1st birthday, and I only have 5 days to finalize everything... This past few days, Calleigh has been so cranky and clingy... And just to make sure I won't sneak out when she's sleeping...

Aha!!! pano ako makaka-kilos nito?

ok, fine!! mag tongits nalang si mom! ^^ heehee!

Separation anxiety is perfectly normal and important developmental adaptation. Nothing I've done has “made” Calleigh develop her separation anxiety. I'm sure this stage will pass, in time! I'm just allowing my baby to be a baby. ^^ It’s an evidence that the bond I've worked so hard to create is holding. I'm spoiling my little girl with love! ^^

Crabby Calleigh

When stranger anxiety and separation anxiety sets in... This is what you'll get from Calleigh!

Oh my! She has always been a self-entertainer and independent, but recently, she seems to be crying over every little thing. She also is more clingy. Normally she only gets clingy when she's tired, but she seems to be doing it more often throughout the day. Could she be teething?

She is sleeping well and feeding well. She has been living by her schedule since she was 3 months old.  Except for her nap time, its down to 3. 

Calleigh's personality is developing now. She'll gesture for your attention and may wave goodbye when she sees you head for the door but will scream at you. yaiks!!

She "may be" very social, giving her "pa-cute" smiles to everyone she meets... cute!

but most of the time she's "TOTALLY SUPLADITA" when well-meaning strangers try to talk or play with her. She might be even tempered or switch her moods quite dramatically... waaahhhh!

 I hope that she'll get over this grouchy stage... sigh =(
