Gabe's 19 months old now. In the past month, he's learned a whole lot about adjectives, numbers and alphabets. Gabe recognizes numbers 1 to 10 and learning to say 'twenty, thirty...' and he recognizes about 20 alphabets out of the 26, which I think is quite impressive.
His new favorite cartoons, characters(whatever you wanna call them) are now Elmo and Cookie Monster, oh...and Thomas the train... At night I usually go in his bedroom to check whether he's still got his blankets on, sometimes I'd wake him up(as much as I try not to) and he'd say, "Hi, Mom! Watch Elmo, yeah?" and I'd say, "No, son, tomorrow." and he'd say, "okay, no more Elmo" and goes back to sleep.
When we put clothes on him, we often tell him how he looks handsome and stuff and he's learned to put those adjectives before some nouns, like...handsome jumper, awesome bib, amazing jacket, cool dude glasses, cute nappy and pretty flowers(he pronounces it wither the [er]bit.) Sometimes Gabe brings me his little beanies and asks me to put them on, and when I do it, he'd say..."Awwww...handsome!" We really enjoy these moments. The fact that he says things more clearly makes me worried sometimes, just because my boy's growing and soon he'll be independent and he'll go around doing things himself and won't need Mommy and Daddy's help anymore. Oh well...
A lot of people have asked when we're gonna have another child and I guess I'm not quite ready yet. I've got to work on my driver's license and make sure my back is well enough to handle the pregnancy. The most important thing I guess is to make sure Gabe's well nurtured and perhaps when he can do more things by himself and then we may consider having another one. In fact, we have to totally lift it up to God! May His will be done!
