One busy Wednesday morning, I was surprised to see this tower outside our bedroom. Only Trixie and I were upstairs and it wasn't me who built it. So it could only be Trixie. We usually play blocks with Trixie but she likes destroying more than building, so it was really a pleasant surprise for me to see this work of art. (Check out Trixie the Builder video to see for yourself.) She amazes me these days. Babies really, really grow and learn fast. Here are some of the things that caught my breath away these past two weeks...
1. Whenever I cough, she gives me a pat on the back.
2. She likes kiwi, mangosteen, romaine lettuce, hard-boiled egg whites only and sauteed onions.
3. She loves to doodle on paper by drawing small lines (holding the pen properly), but last week, she started to connect the lines and form them into endless v's or w's. Just this morning, she learned to draw circles and told me they were eggs and/or balls.
4. She now counts 1 to 5 audibly.
5. She is now into folding paper, but before, she just crumples and throws them in the trashcan.
6. She loves playing pictionary with Brandon.
7. She tells me she misses her a-ma, kongkong and a-i.
8. She sometimes asks for hot tea (diluted with plenty of water) after meals.
9. Once when her ball rolled below the table, she took a railroad track from her train set and used it to retrieve the ball. She got the ball then put the railroad track back to its place.
10. She sings the birthday song quite often, and one time, I found her humming.
11. At every meal, she takes it upon herself to put rice on our plates plus whatever dish we have. She doesn't forget to ask for water too to fill our glasses.
12. She insists on a specific hairdo- all her bangs tied up together sort of like a... uhmm... a shih tzu... Just imagine the struggle we have because I always try to convince her to have another hairdo. But guess who always gets her way... See the photo on the right to see what I mean.
