Animal Sounds on Video

Dindin has been learning so many things and doing so many things that honestly, I find it quite hard to keep up with recording them. Like here is one conversation that we had in the shower while giving her a bath:

Mama: Din, don’t play with that bubbles. That’s dirty. I will just make you “nami” (nice) bubbles.
Dindin: Hmmm…nami…yey…yummy bubbles!
Mama: No, no, not yummy bubbles. Just nice bubbles because you can’t eat them.
Dindin: No, yummy bubbles. Yum!

Yikes!

*****************
And here’s another conversation while we were in bed:Uh
Dindin: Where’s Everyday? Everyday, where are you?
Mama: Uhmmm….Din today is everyday. I mean everyday is today happening…uhmm…

Aghghghgh…Nosebleed!

*****************
Anyway, here is a video that I unearthed among my files. This is quite long overdue because she has been doing this for a long time but we just had no chance of capturing these moments on video. It was her Papa who took this video but I didn’t know about this until I was checking old files. Enjoy her cute smile! :D



By the way, last time, I was asleep and woke up to Dindin fiddling with the single pimple on my face. hahaha She must have found the little red bump interesting. She must have been studying my face while I was sleeping. Thankfully, I only have occasional breakouts on the face now and none on my back. But if there is anyone of you with this condition, you could check out the information contained in http://www.backacnetreatments.org

Can’t Keep Up

Baby, Mama can’t keep up with posting everything that you are saying! LOL

Well yesterday, we were going down the stairs while I was carrying Dindin. After the second flight of stairs, my bag started to slide down my left shoulder. Dindin noticed it and said,

Dindin: Guba … bag si Mama…

hhaha She is already speaking in Ilonggo. She must have thought that because it is no longer in position, the term to use is “guba” or “ruined.” haha

Today, Dindin asked me to get her bubble container. Then she kept telling her Papa, “What’s Dindin doing?” Dennis did not understand her for while, but then he got it that she wanted him to ask her. So Papa asked, “What’s Dindin doing?”

Dindin replied happily, “I am blowing bubbles.”

Sometimes she would say, “I am writing.” or “Dindin is eating.” She is really trying to describe what she is doing for a better narrative. Keep it up, Baby! :D Mama is truly proud of you!

Baby’s Milestones, Mama’s Smilestones

I have not updated you yet about my baby’s milestones. Well, she will be 4 months old tomorrow, Saturday, July 11, 2009.

Here are what she can do now:

-She is already very bubbly. She squeals with delight. She already enjoys bathing (as opposed to when she was just weeks old).

-She answers when talked to.

-She calls “Mama” when she is crying or when she needs something, even though somebody else is caring for her.

-She can sometimes answer yes or no, depending on the question. I know that this may be just coincidence, but she did that more than 20 times already during the last month.

-She can adroitly roll over. She started rolling over from a flat surface last July 1, but her hand would get stuck. By July 3, she already knows how to maneuver her hand and before you can count 1, she is already on her stomach, holding her head and chest up while being supported by her two hands.

Yesterday, we went to the doctor for her second dose of hexavac–a 6-in-1 immunization in 3 doses. It includes protection for DPT, polio, hepatitis B, and meningitis. She cried when the needle and medicine went in. When it was taken out, she went back to playing with her rattle.

As for me, I am no longer breastfeeding. I still take the malunggay tablets though, and it has been good for my health, but not exactly for my breastmilk. My baby’s feeding is around 24-30 oz a day. She drinks NAN one HW (hypoallergenic), because of my history of allergies.

As for my husband and myself, well, we are always tired because of working and taking care of the baby. Tomorrow he is facilitating the launching of the cell group among the students. On Sunday, he is tasked to preach.

We have a hectic schedule.

But last week, we did get to unwind at my parents’ house. It was our daughter’s first swimming in a big tub. hehe Here is a picture.
