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.

Toddler diet: breakfast sample

When my toddler's appetite spikes, I make sure I make the most out of it. Here is one of those breakfasts that Brie enjoyed and actually finished. It took a while - the whole morning - but hey, I'm not complaining! Brie usually sits down for breakfasts, gets full, then starts play time. An hour or so after, I make sure that same breakfast plate is within reach and she either nibbles while she plays or I sneak in a bite for her every now and then. Not pictured: a cup of orange juice, a cup of milk (with Nesquick), and a cup of water. I always make drinks readily available throughout the day because we are still breastfeeding and weaning very, veeerryy sloooowwllyyyyyyyy

Recipe: Brazo de Mercedes cups

I am not a real baker. I bake for personal consumption and sometimes, when they're good enough, I share with friends, family, and my husband's officemates. I also have an intense love for Goldilocks fresh  brazo de mercedes logs. I know if it's fresh. And I definitely know if it's not Goldilocks. So lately... I don't have access to Goldilocks and I'm not very good with complex recipes so I looked around and did an experiment aaaaand here we go! Wait. I did say I'm not a real baker so do excuse the crappy piping. I have no idea how to wrestle a piping bag. Meringue cups ("shells") Ingredients 5 egg whites 1/2 tsp cream of tartar 1/3 cup white sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional) Directions Preheat oven to 320 ° F In a mixing bowl, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar.
