16 mos: words and babbles

I am a year out of touch with our blog! I will try to add dated posts from the past year...

So an update to what we have going on right now: Brie is walking fully. We're past "come on, Brie, you can walk!" and onto "Walk! Don't run! Walk!!"

She took her first few steps when she was 9 1/2 months. She was already cruising then, holding on to the crib rail or on to the side of the bed/couch to walk side ways. Come to think of it, she barely crawled.

Brie's younger relative, Kaidon, who is now 10 months old is crawling so much, it's amazing! It's a good thing Brie didn't crawl as much because we didn't have the floor space for it!

Brie is also talking! Some of the words she has on her vocabulary:

  1. Mummy (mommy)
  2. Daddy
  3. Kahga (karga; "lift" for getting picked up)
  4. Dede (dede; "milk")
  5. Manya-manya-manya (manyaman; "delicious")
  6. Ba (bath)
  7. Baa (bottle; yes, there's a difference)
  8. Latta (laptop)
  9. Yes *nod*
  10. Naah (no)
  11. Naw-muh (no more) and Na-na (wala na; which means the same thing)
  12. Daapaa (diaper)
  13. Baw-pee (ballpen)
  14. Bye-bye
  15. Byuuu ('love you)
  16. Baaawww (ball)
  17. Nana (banana)
  18. Memo (lemon)
  19. Buk (book)
  20. Pliiii (please)
  21. Teytey (thank you)
  22. Waya? (what's that?)
  23. Ska (star)
  24. Animal sounds that all kinda sound the same with different intonations and accents: moo, oink, meow, ow-ow, quack
She does this one thing while on her high chair... I think she's reenacting a conversation between the two of us but she plays both parts. She'll throw something down the floor and say "No no!" then pause and say "Pliii!" (please). I feel like she's telling me about the times I would tell her "No" when she wants to throw things on the floor. It's absolutely adorable.

One last thing for this post. Brie has gotten taller! I think it's time to start tracking her height... I just couldn't decide on how to do it. I want to track it on something that I can take with me when we move.

Recipe: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I wanted some hazelnut cookies but I realized that I only had a couple of tablespoons of Nutella left. So I ended up making peanut butter cookies packed with tons of chocolate chips instead. Important notes before you begin: Chilling is mandatory! You should chill the cookie batter for at least 4 hours, as long as 3 days in case you get sidetracked. You will need 2 baking sheets. So either bake those 2 sheets at the same time, or you bake it one after the other, with the rack positioned in the middle. If you do bake with 2 sheets simultaneously, position 1 baking rack at the top, and the other at the bottom. You will switch the baking sheets' positions half way thru baking time. Ingredients 1 ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour ½ teaspoon Baking Soda ½ teaspoon Baking Powder ¼ teaspoon Salt ½ cup softened Butter (1 stick) *not melted* ½ cup Brown Sugar, tightly packed 1 Large Egg 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract ¾ cup Creamy Peanut Butter Spread 2 cups Chocolate Chips Direc...

DIY Felt Dress Up Dolls Series: Ariel

Ariel's has been Brie's favorite "dress". She calls the bra "boobs". I love it. It's also the easiest to pair! How can you miss a fish tail? This was very straightforward. Bra. And tail. All I added was a bit of design on the top of the tail. This is what Ariel looks like assembled.

DIY Hallway Photo Gallery

Whenever we come from a major family trip - something annual hopefully - I print pictures from the trip for Brie to enjoy, and to help her remember. I especially want to help her remember other family members who live pretty far from us. I originally just used painter's tape because it doesn't mess up with the walls but they're also not very sturdy and pictures kept falling off. So I decided to get some scrapbook materials and now we have a changeable photo gallery along our hallway. Very easy to set up with just a few materials: Command Wire Hooks Value Pack, Small, White, 9-Hooks (17067-9ES) BAZIC Mini, Natural Clothespins, Wood, 50 Per Pack Fashionclubs Hessian Rustic Burlap Twisted Jute Twine String Roll 330ft I ordered the pictures printed from Shutterfly. I made sure to put the photo gallery on Brie's eye level. That's why I got command hooks, because those are easy to remove and re-place when Brie grows taller. I actually have big plans...
