(I know his "sando" above is "butas-butas," but well, models wear anything.)
Good morning! I'm in a happier mood than usual today because the toddler has just turned 19 months old. Yes, today!
And in the span of 1 month, he has learned a SLEW of words already. Seriously, he devours words per day. I can't even keep up, so I list all his new words! Here's my current list:

- Su (juice)
- Papay (tinapay)
- Sit (pancit)
- Ten or tin (chicken)
- Tain (kain)
- Asi (ice cream)
- Esi (raisin)
- Eh (egg)
- Payi (papaya)
Animals
- Ti (bird)
- Da (duck)
- Yayon (lion)
- Isa (lizard)
- Pi (pig)
- De (bear)
People/Body Parts
- Bebi (baby - my favorite word!)
- He (hair)
- Ta (tongue)
- Si (cheeks)
Things
- Bu (book)
- Shon (lotion)
- Api (airplane)
- Fo (phone)

Yuri know around 60+ words na. (Aside from this list, there are other two lists of his first words: here and here.) And he's able to use all of them in the proper context. Well, I'm not surprised because we are a chatty household!
It's really true how babies' brains are like sponges, no? Which means when you got a toddler, please watch your mouth!
I can't believe that my baby is now a little big boy. He's beginning to have a mind of his own! Incredible, isn't it? I think being able to witness another person's growth is one of the best things in being a mother.
Speaking of growth, last night, while Yuri slept, I pulled out a measuring tape. Yuri is now 82 cm long (he was 71 at 1 year old) with a 15 cm feet. Yay! Although his weight remains at 10 kg, somehow I'm not worried. As long as the boy's healthy!
Random fact: He hates getting his hands sticky. It's like sticky hands are the bane of his existence!
So that's one reason why he doesn't eat much. I think he's afraid of getting his hands sticky. But aside from being a picky eater, how will he ever gain weight if he can't stay still for a minute???
Yuri is one busy kid. Happy, happy 19th month, baby! Please slow down, mama can't keep up!
PS: We'll be attending another Jollibee event later. Woot!
