Happy 21 Months Lily!
Happy 21 months Lily (over a week ago…)!! Lily weighs at about 21.3 pounds and stretches about 32 inches long. She’s lost some weight because she was sick for a couple week, poor baby had early stage pneumonia =(. She had a cough for a few weeks and then she got a fever at school one day, so Khoa took her to her pediatrician. She start wheezing when she breathed and that’s when the doctor said she had early stage pneumonia since her left lung wasn’t so clear. She had to be on antibiotics and breathe through the nebulizer 3 times a day for about a week before her lungs cleared up! Afterwards, her appetite slowly came back! Lily likes to say “thank you”, “all done”, “mommy”, “daddy”, and can sign “different” very well now. she also likes to say phrases like “what is this?”, “what is that?” and point to her drawings and saying “I did this!” a lot too!! She can also point to us and say “this is dada, this is mama” then point to herself and say “this is Lily (yiyi)”. It’s amazing to hear her speak so much! She likes to point up in the sky when she sees an airplane or helicopter, and she also likes to take selfies in my phone and totally ham it up with facial expressions! She sometimes wake up from her naps babbling and cracking up with herself haha!! She’s such a happy spirited baby, she lights up our lives! She’s getting smarter and smarter each day!
Lily also loves to sing!! Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is one of my go-to songs when I lullaby Lily at night, and usually she just rests peacefully in my arms while I sing it to her, and then place her in her crib. I haven’t noticed until recently that she can sing along to the song now, and I assume her school taught her some dancing motions to go along with this song, along with Ring Around the Rosie! I was able to capture it and she’s so cute when she tries to sing along, her favorite part must be the “up above” line haha! She also babbles a lot with some audible words here and there. She’s starting to get really good at repeating words now too and can hum to tunes to several songs! I can listen to her and watch her all day!!
One of her favorite things to do is to play outside. She loves the slide and slides down it like a pro! She waits for her daddy to count to three and then she slides down! She’s so full of energy and is non stop, I love seeing how happy and active she is! She also insisted on wearing her sunglasses outside! She’s a smart cookie for wanting to protect her eyes! She actually kept them on the entire time!! She also got to walk Luna for the first time!! She did great and insisted on walking Luna from the park all the way home! She did so well! She’s so cute walking her furry best friend, but man, she’s growing up fast! Check out these videos of her playing at the park and walking Luna!
Today is also St. Patrick’s Day! Lily is all dressed in green, and found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and is sharing all her treasures! Dressing her up is fun, but she also loves to wear hats and look pretty too! If you tell her she looks so pretty, her face will light up!! She loves playing with jewelry and beaded necklaces and she can put them on herself with ease now too. She’s so girly haha.
She’s so excited on the slide! hehe. Good job with the sunprotection/sunglasses, Lily! And who’s walking who?? =P
