Life is hectic / busy in our household these days but we're not complaining :)

My side of the family came over for a visit last July and Swe-cha got to spend time with his Angkong, Ama, A-i and 2 Ahyas. He loved them and could not get enough of his 2hya (Lyle), he keeps kissing him! he has angkong wrapped around his little finger and would make Angkong recite nursery rhymes and sing songs. His fave songs for Angkong are "Old Macdonald" and "three blind mice".

On the milestones part, Swe-cha has a thing now for counting. He can count from 1-10, even when asleep. Yes, sleep-talking yata. He likes to watch his counting videos and asks for them by pointing to the TV and counting.

And (drumroll please) he has been feeding himself more and more. Today, he fed himself 1 whole meal (before, he'd get tired after the first few spoonfuls).

He loves to snack on YanYan and eats churros. He tasted a yogurt smoothie during a Costco run one time and could not have enough of it, I had to go back several times to the samples station to ask for more. He must have had at least 10 servings (sample-sized). Yes, we did buy a 6-pack of the smoothie for him.

We switched to Soy Milk at night for him and it seems to help w/ the gas. These days though, he wakes up in the middle of the night & looks for someone. Last night, his Daddy & I were in the other room (I was reading a book and Daddy was playing Diablo) and we were surprised to see him standing at the door. He didn't make a sound. We had to bring him back to bed and lie down beside him before he'd go back to sleep. Super lambing to the max :)

It's bittersweet to realize that my boy is not so dependent on me anymore. It used to be that he wanted me for everything and at bedtime, he wants me to hug him & either pat him on his thigh till he falls asleep or massage his feet. (yeah, royalty yan). These days, he just wants his Daddy to scratch him all over (royalty pa rin), guess I should just be thankful that I can go to sleep while Daddy struggles to stay awake to scratch him.
