I finally had my 2 year checkup. All is well. I’m 32.5 inches tall, and 27.5 pounds. My head circumference is 51cm. Tomorrow, I will be 25 months old! Yippee!

My newest word is nectarine! Yup, it’s a hard one. I love eating nectarines. My other big word is chocolate…as in chocolate milk, my favorite! I’ve also started putting 2 or even 3 words together. “See me” means I want to see. “Mommy read” is Mommy read this to me. I also say “Daddy to work”. I learn new words every day! I also recognize Mommy and Daddy’s friends and I can say most of their names.

We celebrated Daddy and Uncle Kelvin’s bday’s today. We went to Tristan’s new house and it is awesome. I can’t wait to go there again. Tristan has a cool train table that is super fun. And a playhouse. We had yummy dimsum and lots of cake! I love cake! Sometimes at the park, I will make a “sand cakes” with stick candles and ask Mommy to sing….cuz I want her to sing the Happy Birthday song! ☺ When I say it, it comes out “Happy to you”. Ooops.

2nd Birthday!

So my birthday party was a blast. All my friends came to celebrate with me. Paw paw and Gung Gung came all the way from LA too! We had a bbq at the park and we had some really yummy food…though I was too busy playing and running around. Mommy even had to change my clothes once since I got all wet trying to fish. After the party, I was so tired! Phew!

New Orleans

Just returned from almost a week in New Orleans visiting Yeh yeh, Mah mah, and Auntie CC. I had so much fun and did so many things! It was fun playing in the restaurant, and helping sort those soy sauce packets. I'm pretty good at sorting! I also went swimming a few times (splashing). Some of my new words, swim, splash, thank you, stroller, zoo, mingo (for flamingo), monkey, giraffe, chomp chomp, push, plane, jaguar, diaper, choco (chocolate). The Audubon zoo was open, so we went to check it out and saw all kinds of animals. But, I did hurt one of my toes on the door, and bonked my head a few times. Oops, I was too excited! All in all, I had a great trip and got to eat lots of good food. I especially like fish, and baby corn, and those things called baby trees (but I only like the leaves)!

Some new words

Pretty, bug, book, water, flower, dog (instead of just woof), snail, two. If you ask me how old I am, I will usually say "two". I also can say "no more" (two words together!!!!) and "no mama". I also say Daddy (used to be Dada) and Baby (was baba). I am learning some manners...sometimes I will say please. Mommy and Daddy have also started putting me in the naughty corner (ala supernanny). The first few times, I ran away, but now I just stand there (and cry). I get put there because I threw food or threw something other than a ball.

I miss Jenjen and Uncle and Auntie and Pawpaw and Gung gung. After bedtime stories, I always ask Mommy about them. She tells me they all went night-night. And I ask about Daddy too. :)

Over the weekend, Auntie Lily and Auntie Betty babysat me. It was fun, we worked on an art project with the sticks and things I picked up outside. I hope they come over again. I will show you my artwork next time!

Almost 23 months update

So, what's new? Well, I went to LA to visit Jenna, Uncle Chris, Auntie Susan, Pawpaw and Gung gung. I can call everyone by name...sort of. Jenna is "jenjen", then "un-ko", auntie, pawpaw, and "dudu". For some reason, I can't do the "k" sound at the beginning of a word, but it's okay at the end (like "work" and "book") So, I can't say cook, instead I say "dook". I can also tell the difference between big and little (le-ko), usually I am talking about little sticks and big sticks. I had a great time playing with Jenna. She is fun! I was also very good on the plane ride with Mommy. Mostly I sat and ate snacks, or rested on Mommy. I also really like to read those magazines in the front seat pocket. Besides pretending to cook soup, I also pretend to go to work. I put on a bag (one of mommy's purses) over my shoulder, grab daddy's keys, say "bye" to everyone, sometimes with kisses, and head for the door. Luckily for Mommy and Daddy, I can't unlock the door yet. I've been practicing buckling things so that I'll soon be able to buckle my own seatbelt. I can usually do it for my high chair, but the car seat buckles are pretty tricky. Check out my pics with Jenjen.
