1. Speech. Oh boy, can this kid talk now. As of yesterday she's started saying 'I love you', although it so far sounds more like Aww wuh wuu. I'm trying to teach her 'I love Dada', so far she says 'Aw wuh Dadadadadada!' and then gets really excited thinking he's going to come home soon. 'Papa' now stands for paci, parsnip, apple, and pizza. At least she can say her p's though! Keila also says Sushi pretty well now, and she's obsessed with clothing: 'shoes', 'shirt', 'coat', you name it. They're not full words but pretty close.
2. Still holding steady at 16 teeth, although she's been drooling a lot the past week so maybe more to come in soon?
3. Sleep has improved a bit!! Keila is still adjusting to the new house (and the poor girl went through a lot, first moving out of our apartment into a temporary apartment, then into the house, and then going on vacation)! Now, although she'll still cry a bit when I put her down at night, she's tending to sleep through until maybe 3 am, then will go back to sleep until around 6:30. All in her own bed in her own bedroom!!! Hopefully by this time next month, she'll be going all the way through the night!
4. No problems with walking, and she's started running a bit too. Which led to her conking her head on a chair leg today at play group....will try to get a picture of the massive goose egg she's now sporting. It swelled up before I could even get ice on it, ouch.
5. Food. Keila's allergy bloodwork came back finally, and it was not the least bit helpful! Everything showed negative, even peanuts! So we've got to continue avoiding peanuts, sesame, bananas, and pineapple until her appointment NEXT YEAR. Hopefully by then she'll have at least grown out of the fruit allergies, though.
Keila's new favorite food is egg (oh yeah, another word: 'Go go', short for 'tamago' which is egg in Japanese. One day she ate 3 eggs; I've since had to cut her down for fear of her becoming the first-ever baby to have a heart attack at the age of 1.5. At least her protein issues seem to be gone: besides egg, she'll also happily eat salmon again, along with ground meat too.
6. New actions: Keila will sing and dance to her little music board, clap her hands when it tells her to, etc etc. She understands just about anything you tell her, although of course she doesn't always listen. Smart girl! Song of the week is Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, although just about any sort of music will make her happy.
Temper tantrums are quite common now when she's tired out, so we try to make sure that nap time isn't ever late!
7. I weighed Keila on our scale last week, and it said she weighed over 11 kilos. Looks like she's finally chunking up a bit. All the french fries and chocolate in Brussels probably helped add a bit more, too!
That's all on Keila for this month!
