Dear Elle,
It has been an amazing fill-in-the-blanks month. Mama was surprise of your ability to recite the words in your first baby book SMILE. We have a blast reciting it out loud and here's how we go:
mama: "Look at the birdie.."You're a singing bird, sing your heart out accompanying with hand gestures. You sing in spur of the moment, whenever you like, anywhere and everywhere. Your sweet notes simply make our heart sing. Your favorite is "ABC Song". You turn "Baa Baa Black Sheep" into "Baa Baa Baby". When you are singing "Twinkle twinkle little star", you open and close hands like they are a twinkling star, and bring hands up above head to form the shape of a diamond.
you: "Come On!"
mama: "Say.."
you: "Cheese!"
mama: "A laugh, a..."
you: "Giggle"
mama: "Even a little grin will.."
you: "DO!"
Love climbing up and down the stairs all by yourself and get angry whenever we try to hold your hands. However, when we walk down the street, you'd insist tucking one hand into dada's and another to mama's. Mama was so amused by what you have done to the drawstring on mama's pant. You hold it tightly with one hand, saying "COME!", and then pull mama to follow you around the house.
Those lil' pet peeves of yours are getting on our nerves. You scream and whine when you socks are not staying on in perfect shape. You keep getting off the hair clip, yelling "Hair! Hair!" wanting us to put it back perfectly gazillion time a day that dada has threatened to cut off your bangs if you whine one more time.
We finally got you a chair and you love every bit of it, carrying it around, climbing up and down, and reading on it. When you find us sitting on your chair, you'd quickly come over yelling "No! No!" and pushing us off the chair. Could you imagine how surprise we were when you started offering us your chair all of a sudden? You say "SIT SIT" and even hold our hands begging us with your magic word "Please". The moment we sit on it, immediately you run to the back of the chair and start pushing us yelling "Down! Down!". You giggle in victory when we get off the chair and then you'd do it over and over again. What a lil' teaser you are!
You're getting more and more apprehend of what we say. When you agree, you'd nod your head saying "Yes" or "OK". When we say "kiss", you'd either lean you cheek against ours waiting for a peck or you'd give us a smooch on our lip, sometime even with a little bit of tongue. We get the best belly laughs out of you when we're blowing raspberries on your belly, which you never seem to get enough of. Three molars broke through, two on the bottom and one on top, and that might explain the bad days we had.
Last week, mama and dada went to a movie (Benjamin Button) for the first time ever since you were born. Throughout the movie, mama could relate you to the Benjamin baby who is born as an 80-years-old man until he achieves real infancy at the end of his life. Mama would not have felt so much love of a parent to their kid, the laughters that make our heart sing and the tears that make our heart ache, if we had not have you. You're the best thing that ever happened in our life.
Love you,
Mama
