Erika's World

Erika enjoyed playing on the Children playground last Wednesday when we went to the electric shop to buy a Computer Desk lamp inside the department store. You could hear her screaming of too much excitement playing inside the room full of  balloons.  I forgot to brought my digital camera so I took some shots of her by my cellphone.

Erika is more talkative now than before,  she can sing us now and she knows how to play her dad’s harmonica too. Most of all she can kiss me back on my cheeks with a big sound. Some other words she can speak now are:

• atsu for atsui means hot
• she call as sometimes as papa ya for her father while mama ya to me
• gako for ungako means music
• ta for itai means she hurts
• dede if she wants breastfeed
• happa means leaves

Erika putting stones inside her pool

Actually there is nothing extra ordinary, we bought a baby pool for my daughter in preparation for the coming summer and to be place in the yard. At present … daytime is  not  that hot but we tried to put air and water on it to see Erika’s reaction and as expected she was very delighted to see the penguins (drawing) inside the pool.

She was so happy looking for the pool full of stones.

She did not want to go with us anymore so

we give her a chance to play more with the water .

Another thing Erika enjoy is when we go shopping  she loves to ride on a cart like the one on picture below.  You can hear her voice laughing and sometimes she is making unusual sounds while moving the handle.

Meanwhile I think Erika learns to talk very fas. She talks not that perfect but you will easily understand what she wanted to tell.

Some words and thing she can say and do:

• na na pa for inai inai pa (Japanese peek a boo)
• mu for moon
• naa for nai or inai (means nothing)
• atta (she can say this word perfectly and knows when to use it which means she found something )
• apu for apple
• nennen means sleeping time
• she can points me her diaper while saying “u u” for poop but sometimes theres no poop inside it

Yesterday we went to a nearby family restaurant for lunch. Inside we requested for a baby chair so that Erika can sit with us at the table at first she likes her place but after a while she wanted to go down and play. At this time it is still not safe for her to sit on the chair especially if theres no seat belt because she always moves and wanted to stand.

So I put her in the corner of my chair (like a sofa) and there she did play with her bag.

She carries her bag like a woman so cute.

After lunch we went to a flower shop.

On the other hand today Erika got her MR vaccine (1st stage). I hope she  don’t get fever and other side effects of the vaccine.

She can talk “wa wa ” as flower

“ba ba” as bubbles when were inside the bathroom

“ba-” as bag

“bu bu” (brooom broom) for cars

And she always calls as “mama” & “papa”

Erika’s voice at 1 year 2 and half months:

One warm day of October, I’m on good mood talking while walking with the walker.

You read it right. It just suddenly happened. This started one day that was October 1 while I’m crying because that was not the usual “waaaah” that I always did, during that time its sound like “waaahhh #$%@?& waaahhh !?}$##%&* ” funny ! that is why while I was crying mom was laughing suprisingly. haha. After that day you can hear me talking alone while playing and it sounds like “blah bala blah” and now I can talk such as “bah bah dah dah”. Now my mom knows how it feels to hear her angel talking. Shes happy and very excited to talk to me everytime.

Please wait for a few more weeks mom, just prepare yourself you don’t know I might be the one who could loss your patience If I grow up a like talkative one. lol.
