What's goin on?

Neo is 14 months old and he has been growing and going day by day. He surprises us with new and cute things day all the time. Words and non- words are coming out from him that really amazes us. This little walker is constantly on the go, always wanting to be on the floor to strut his steps. Kakatuwa at kakapagod!

He likes anything with wheels. Plays with the wheels of his strollers and his toy trucks. Loves to watch wheels of other cars on the road.

He enjoys eating and refuses nothing. Really loves kalabasa. He drinks in straws. There should always be merienda! Always delighted when you hand him a craker or biscuit. He will show frustration if he sees you eating and he is not.

He imitates mouth sounds and other mouth gestures. He nods his head as in "YES" and nudges it as in "NO". Act out YES and NO and he will imitate.

He can follow simple instructions. Show him how to open a wallet, or press the remote button, or snap open a watch and he will do the same. I showed him only once how to flip and small latch from his book and he readily got it.

He blesses, not consistently though. Still plays saw-saw suka.

He is aware of his daily schedule. He knows when it is time to take a bath, have his lunch, take his afternoon walk etc. He surely knows that mommy is coming home anytime.

He fakes his cries when he wants something.

He is working on making an escape from his playpen. That's why we made strict instructions to the yaya never ever to leave him unattended.

He likes Barney. He's really attentive with matching reactions while watching the episodes. Bakit kaya? Naaasar nga ako kay Barney eh! He has two new CDs of Barney from Tata Ritzie.

His interest with books does not tarry. Apart from flipping the pages, I think now he appreciates the content. He listens when I read to him. From his many books, he damaged just one.

He forever enjoys the play, Bulaga! or yung english version na peek a boo! As in, di sya nagsasawa ever! Tuwang tuwa pa din.
"pompom" means time to change diapers. pauso ni yaya.

He hates all head wear.

Two pairs of teeth pa rin. Two up, two down. Pero I think the other will pop out soon kasi namamaga na yung gums nya and I can see white peeking out.

He loves his baths. Ayaw pa umahon kaagad.

He sleeps na nakasiksik sa akin.

What a joy to be a mother!

Val had two sessions of his photography seminar down. Three more sessions to go and he'll have a photography certificate! He is learning a lot, he said.
Below is a sample of an assignment they had. Subject: Coke. He was explaining about composition (whatever that means). Heheh. I think this was a good shot, according to the teacher.


By the way, he upgraded his DSLR from a Canon 400D to a 20D.

As for me, I have jumpstarted my scrapbook work. I have to finish the one on Neo's first birthday muna. Details soon nalang. Office work ... as usual.
