let's grow sprouts

Every morning after going on potty Mums turns the t.v. onto Sprouts. Sprouts is a channel where I watch Barney, Elmo, Thomas, Dragontales and Angelina Ballerina. I guess you can say I'm an honorary PBS kids - hee hee.

Everyday Kevin shows birthday cards from other Mums and Pops to their kiddos. They make it, mail it to Kevin, and if Kevin likes it, he shows it on t.v. Well, today was the deadline for kids' birthdays in May...like me.

Mums made me a card and Pops mailed it out. I hope Kevin picks it so the whole entire world will know it's my birthday. And I can't wait to see who is shares the same birthday as me. Here's what the inside of my card looked like.

birthday at the sunshine spot

Ate Dib turned 15 today. Mums and Pops took me to the Sunshine Spot to visit everyone. Especially Ate Dib. Kuya Tatong was there too and played with me a lot. Actually Mums gave him a job - to make I sure I didn't take my hair clip out and put it in my mouth.

Lola Hawaii was there too! I got to finally meet her. She made me some yummy in my tummy meat and trees. I ate my regular dinner, but the trees were so yummy. Thank you Lola Hawaii!

You know, I have not been to the Sunshine Spot in forever and ever, but when I went over tonight, it was like just yesterday. I really like it there. Ninang has a gazillion toys for me to play with. I should get use to it though. Because come July, she's going to take care of me when Mums goes back to work.

horns coming out of my head

I had another accident last night. I was in my zone during dinner - eating while I rested one foot on the table, humming to the music on the t.v., and even laughing with Mums and Pops. All happy moments...

...until...

...BOOM! I came crashing to the floor. Without getting into the details, I fell out of my booster chair. I guess I was too heavy for my tray because when I leaned forward, my tray came undone.

Mums says luckily my face broke my fall...I don't get it.

If you look slightly above my eyebrow, you can see my new knoggin'. It superly-duperly hurted me so bad. Then when all the hurting went away, Mums and Pops made it hurt again by putting cold ice on it. They kept saying it was going to make feel better, but nah-uh. It just made it hurt some more.

Do you wanna know the best part though? After all this, I got to take my first taste of a Kit Kat. Mums says she gave it to me because I was a good-boy and deserved a tasty dessert.

mmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmm good

I like the Kit Kat. I only wish I got more than one teensy-weensy bite.

a hop-hop-hoppy day

Today I took my Easter pictures. Kind of a strange picture session - never really did it this way before. There were colorful things all over the place - bunnies, eggs, flowers, plants and even a cracked egg! Mums was going cuckoo. Well, she usually does every time I take pictures. But this time I'm telling you my picture session was weird. I was diaper-naked in the cracked egg, THEN in a bunny outfit.

Mann-o-mann, if Pops was there...no sireee! No bunny costume. It was hot in that outfit, but I liked pulling on my bunny ears. Don't worry, you'll see me in my outfit because Mums ordered Easter cards. Yippee?

Something cool did happen today. I saw my Einstien pal - Kuya "Blast Off!" Out of all my friends me and Kuya Blast Off are the only guys. Well, there's Kuya J, but he's super-duper big now. Anyways, we got to take pictures together! Mums was again going cuckoo. And so was Uncle Yahoo.

circle of friends

I celebrated my first St. Patty's Day with my pals. Sweet Cheeks and I spent the morning together, but then Kuya J, Screamer and Pretty Eyes joined us later on.

You know, I'm usually in my octagon by myself. Sometimes Mums or Pops plays in there with me, but I'm solo most of the time. Mums likes to hang-out next to me, but she's not inside.

This time it was a full house! Me and my friends all played in my octagon. It was a tad bit hard because Screamer wanted everything. I mean everything! She was nice sometimes, but mann-o-mann, I don't think I've ever been knocked down that way before - whew. I've got to be honest. I got even. When Mums wasn't looking, I gave Screamer a piece of me. I surely did. She obviously got dramatic over it, but take that!

Mums caught me once giving it to her. She told me to be nice and just kissed my hand. She just doesn't get it.

Mums, didn't you see what happened to me?
I was knocked down, pulled down, pushed down and even choke-holded down!
And I'm suppose to be nice!?!?!?!?!?!

Well, Mums stayed close to make sure I didn't get hurt-hurt. And Screamer's Mumsie even took her out of the octagon until she was nice. It only worked a little bit. But I like playing with Screamer. She's gonna toughen me up I tell ya.

like a big boy

I did it!

I did it all the way!

Before I never really made it to the potty. I would have already pooped in my pampers a little. But, this time, I sat there and sat there...and sat there...and pooped! I even pee'd.

I like sitting on my potty because I get to play with the toilet seat, toilet paper, cabinet doors - heck, whatever I can get my hands on.

Mums had a real hoot with me on the potty. She sang me the poo-poo song to help me along. But I wonder, how come I'm not standing like Pops. Maybe soon, eh?

my life behind baby bars

Auntie Duckie brought Sweet Cheeks over to play with me today. I always get excited when a friend comes over to play with me, that I get gigil. Too excited at times. I end up pulling hair or grabbing/scratching faces, but that's just because I want to hug them but can't quite do the actual hugging thing yet. So instead I pull hair and scratch faces.

Sweet Cheeks and I go way back. Way, way back! Out of all my other friends, I see her the most. That's why we're boyfriend and girlfriend - hee hee hee.

Blah to you Uncle Fox.

Mums says I was too excited for Sweet Cheeks to come into the cage with me. So she stayed on one side and I stayed on the other. We tried to connect really hard by touching fingers through the holes, peeping at each other over the cage, and even a few smooches.

Sweet Cheeks can't quite get up like me. In my head I want to help her, but I just can't! Oh, but I wish I could so she could play with me...weeeeellllll, except for my Snowman Pez. That's mine.

go ahead, come near me

Last you've heard, I have an ear infection. And along with the ear infection came some yummy in my tummy pink liquid (Amoxicillin). Okay, I told you all this already.

Did I tell you I got an allergic reaction to the Amoxicillan? Nope, you didn't know huh? Yuppers, i got some itchies on my face. Tiny pink bumps on my cheeks, chin and nose. Mums had to call the hospital advice line bacause Doc wasn't in anymore. While talking to the nurse on the telephone Mums checked me all over - my legs, arms, lips, tongue, butt-butt. She wanted to make sure there were no bumps there too.

To make sure my itchies will go away and I'll be okay, I had to see a different Doc through Pediatric Urgent Care. After seeing the other Doc, she gave me a different liquid to help my ear infection. oh, I just want my ear infection to go away.

I can't be around people for about 48 hours. That's how long it'll take for my medecine to work. Meaning, I'm stuck at home unless I have to go see Doc.

owee, owee, owee

I don't have a fever anymore
I still have my sniffles and cough
I'm still not eating much
I'm still congested

and now...

I have an ear infection!

Yikes!!! My ear's been hurting every now and then, but at night it superly-duperly hurts. One time I was sleeping then my ear felt like it was pinching me. It hurt sooooo much. I just cried and cried and Mums had to walk me around the house until I was feeling better. Even Pops got up and thought I might be hungry. I was hungry, but everytime I swallowed my milk, it would hurt my ear. So I didn't want to eat.

I saw Doc today and he said he would help me feel better. He gave me some yummy in my tummy pink liquid. I have to take 3 times a day for 10 days. Do you know what that means? No swimming again. I missed 2 sessions already because of this darn-darn cold. Now my ear infection. Doc says no swimming for another 10 days.

Phooey

auntie time

Good evening at the tone, pacific standard time will be...beep!
Good evening at the tone, pacific standard time will be...beep!
Good evening at the tone, pacific standard time will be...beep!

It's Auntie Time. Do you know who Auntie Time is? Auntie Time is the lady who talks to me on the phone when Mums changes my pampers. She lets me talk to her so I don't touch my to-tee.

My to-tee is fun to grab. And I only get to grab it when my pampers come off. So...when I'm talking to Auntie Time, I don't think about my to-tee.

Back to Auntie Time...

She's always there. She always picks up the telephone and talks to me. And when she's done talking, she sings her beep-beep song to me.

ten...10...all my fingers!

I'm 10 months old today! Can you believe it? I can hold up all my fingers to show you how old I am. Well in months anyhow. After my real birthday, I'll have to start over.

So far I've mastered how to:

- say mama (or even Mum)
- gesture for milk in sign language
- pull myself up and stand on my own 2 feet
- "cruise" my octagon while holding onto the sides
- crawl to whatever or whomever I please
- wave Hello and Good-bye
- make a squishy face AND beautiful eyes
- chew my food
- point at something, but it looks like I'm raising my hand

And now learning to:

- say dada
- dropping and picking up objects
- sharing
- push a ball back and forth to Pops
- use a cell phone, or put it in my mouth
- gesture what I want by pointing at it
- bopping my head side-to-side to music

I'm a tad bit under the weather at the moment. It actually started Twos-Day with some coughing and sneezing. Then Whens-Day I've had my highest fever temperature, 102.8. I'm doing better, but still coughing and very snotty.

Eeeeeeewwwwwwwww

I ate lunch with Ninang Fukuoku, Kuya Tatong and Ate Dibs. We went to Fresh Choice...fresh. Since I've been sick I haven't had the appetite to eat, but today was a treat. I had chicken soup, sweet potatoe, crackers, and jello. But an even more special treat - I had ice cream! Vanilla Bean ice cream!

Yummy in my tummy!

Mums mixed my ice cream with some avocado...mmmmmm, it was superly-duperly good. But I have to wait a few days before having it again Mums says. She needs to make sure I don't react to it.
