Bye, 2009!

Thursday, December 31, 2009 by xingkit
The year 2009 has been very good to us albeit the most expensive. We are thankful that the house is almost finished and that in early 2010 we will be moving, furnishing and building a home out of it.

In 2010, we look forward to welcoming my side of the family home after 2 years. Next year we will get to meet Emma!

I also hope to be able to go on a real family vacation next year, out of town. If we're lucky, out of the country. Hopefully, we may start climbing again, too.

The only resolution I have for next year is to have a New Start. Wish me luck!

May the new year be full of blessings for everyone! Stay safe.

Wa

Wednesday, November 18, 2009 by xingkit
Wa is Maia's way of saying dalawa (two). Today she turned two. Our baby is officially a little girl. A toddler with a mind of her own and a will of steel. We hope and we pray that we will be able to guide her so she will become a good citizen of earth and most importantly, of heaven.

Twenty Three

Sunday, October 18, 2009 by xingkit
Maia is twenty three months old today and we celebrated by watching Dora, the Heffalump Movie and the Tigger Movie. Now the celebrator is asleep and I can blog.

At 23 months, she's about 32 inches tall, which will make her as tall as me. If it's true what they say that a kid can only grow as much as double his/her height at two years old. I'm crossing all my fingers and toes that "they" are correct.

I don't really have an idea of how much she weighs, but my back sure is complaining. She has these moods where she's too clingy that she only wanted to be carried by me. Most of the time though, she wants to be carried by Tec. So I should count my blessings.


She has started to talk and could say the following words:
Baba = when she wants to go down, but she also says baba when she wants to go up but lately she has started saying
Kyat = to mean akyat
Tatay, Nanay = referring to Tec and me
Mommy = referring to my maternal grandmother
Mama = what she calls both her grandmothers
Papa = refers to my father
Lulu = Lolo referring to her paternal grandfather and my uncle, and to anyone who looks like a lolo
Lola = to refer to my aunts. So yes, she calls my lola, mommy and my aunts, lola. :)
Pa = more, or isa pa
Plich = Please. Whenever she wants something she has to say please before we give it to her.
You = can mean thank you and i love you.
Milk = Milk
Miming = refers to all the species under the cat family
Duck = duck
Pich = ipis (cockroach)
Dun = there. Whenever she wants to go somewhere.
Ki = Mickey
Pooh = Pooh
Roo = Roo
Yo = Eeyore
Ni = Barney
Bop = Baby Bop
There's a lot more she can say that escapes me right now, but I'm sure is happy that we can now, at least, have a meaningful conversation with her.

Also, her animal vocabulary is huge. Even if she cannot say the words yet, she can identify a number of them, and the sound they make to boot!

We speak to her in Filipino, with a dash of English and Dora providing Spanish. I figured I learned to speak and write English in school, so she should be okay.

Oh and I should tell you that she can now count to ten! She says: "One, two, wawin (seven), eight, nine, ten!"
