From the beginning of this year I have discovered a new semi-standing position-with one knee on the floor, I bend the second knee and put that foot on the floor. I have also been trying to repeat words that you say-I picked up a strange word from mama "dirty". She says that to discourage me from eating something I shouldnt. Also they've been trying to teach me baby sign language and my favorite sign is "all done" when I am done eating. I lift my hand, open my palm and turn it around. I use this to my convenience and sign "done" as soon as I taste the first spoon of something I dont like. Now wasnt that what that sign was for?
Christmas was great fun. I went to see the tree at Mofi and Nafi's house and got my first Christmas gift. I got a dress that says "my first christmas" and a pair of shows that are soo awesome. Masi, Ria and Shay didi gave me some finger puppet books which I always have a great time with.
I also attended my first Birthday party this christmas- Micah and Oscar It was great fun and I made a lot of friends!
Dad and mom have emptied all drawers within my reach and put my toys in them. Shows whos the boss here :) I love taking tissue paper in my hands, tearing it up into lots of pieces and throwing them on the floor, making a BIG mess. I also end up putting some paper in my mouth and spitting it out.
I have started saying my first words. I say the sweetest bye you ever heard. The other day I said hi to dadi on the phone and I keep repeating it when I see someone. Just yesterday I started telling people how a dog barks and am very proud of my new skill. Dad just discovered my brand new third tooth, this one is on my top jaw. I love to chew on his chin-it feels sooo good, especially now wih all this teething!
The weather is too cold to be outdoors nowadays and I love my time at my play gym Gymboree, socialising with my friends, going into tunnels, climbing steps, coming down slides and playing with toys that make great sounds (and taste great too!) Here are some pics from a recent day out at Gymboree.
