of turning 18 months
my once-little-bundle-of-joy-now-turned-tumbling-tot is growing way to fast + has just turned 18 months wednesday. curious + eager to see the world past the four corners of his crib/playpen and beyond the confines of his room, he would almost always dash to the door, with his slippers in either hand, raring to go out. he would slip past me most of the time + go out with unshod feet.
what the little tot is up to:
- would always wander past every open door in the house
- can now mount his “first car”, using his feet to make it move + keep his balance
- has recently found the joy in playing with his toy cars
- has just rediscovered his waving powers + accompanies that with “baba” as he waves his hands enthusiastically
- would blurt out little words like “yes”, “three”, or something that sounds similar
- just said “c” or the c-sound whilst we were watching an alphabet vid (will make a separate post on it)
- still hates to take his vitamins + meds though
- is counting stuff, but everything is just “two”
- is now attempting to climb up his playpen
- his weight stays put at 14 kilograms
how time flies, has it really been 18 months? felt like it was only yesterday when i gave birth to a bouncing 8.3-pound baby boy! happy 18th month son, here’s to so much more! mum + dad loves you!
baby’s day out
finally, after way too much delay, we were able to go to activefun and have a day of fun + play. i purchased a voucher from ensogo for half the price in january and i was surprised when i found out that it was for unlimited playtime, so it really was every cent’s worth! i only need to pay additional Php50 (since we went on a friday) + Php125 for an adult entry (of course, i need to accompany jared while he plays, daddy looks on the sideline and act as our photographer). after putting my socks on (everyone who enters the play area needs to wear one, you know for hygienic purposes), off we go to infinite playtime.
jared walked and walked, and walked some more, exploring every nook + cranny of this children wonderland. we climbed the stairs and ladder, we played on the slides, we went on a jaunt at the trampoline and sat with gazillion little balls. we also played with this giant wall piano which my baby utterly enjoyed.
we played for solid two hours, and the little man is simply unstoppable + seemed to never ran out of energy. we navigated the play are a second and a third time, then sat beside the giant octopus chair to rest + rehydrate and took some photos then we were off again.
i realized how much i was in bad shaped when i started panting + catching my breath while i run after my little tot, gees, i guess i really need to get back in shape…
all in all, it was another fun-filled day for us + i must commend the activefun crew for being friendly + accomodating.
how about you, where have you + your tot played lately?
