A-B-Cs, 1-2-3s and others

First of all, shoutout to myself! Happy birthday to me! Hehe! We celebrated by having dinner at Cheesecake Factory! I love the food there and the cheesecake, of course!

Kirstin turned 14 months too! And at this age, she's starting to show her personality! I think she's funny! She gets her Uncle Cris' and her daddy's silly jokes! She'd laugh at them! But of course, just like mommy, she likes to sing! She learned her ABC's by humming the tune at first and then eventually, she'd try to say the letters. It's gibberish still but it works for me! Hehe! The rythm and repetition of songs make things easy to remember. That's how she learned her 1-2-3s too because she has this laugh and learn bunny with silly sing-along songs that keeps her interested.

Another thing that she's fond of playing is the body parts game. We started playing this game when she's 10 months and at that time, all she does is point out her body parts when I say, for example, "Where's your eyes Kirstin?" This time though, she'd try to say eyes while she's pointing at her eyes. It's really pretty cool!

Other things that keeps her interested at this age is the stacking and sorting shapes toys as well as her piano, drums and tambourine sets. I always wonder what musical instrument she'll end up playing when she gets older! Her Uncle Cris plays guitar, Uncle Dane plays the drum, Aunt Barb plays the piano and Kurt plays the trumpet! Oh boy, oh boy...there's a lot to choose from! I can't wait! =)
