Mommy little monkey

From I'm a little monkey

Yes.. she likes to climb up the couch... I'm so tired to get her and put her down. Since she will repeat it no matter how many times I tell her no.

Stupid Amazon marketing strategy! Yeah I blame it on them. I was buying Petra's gift on Amazon.com and they have the super saver shipping for free if you buy $25 or more. So Petra's gift was only so close to $25. So I decided to get something for Carissa so I can get free shipping. I saw this cute puzzle, so I can't resist.. I had to buy it. Today it came in the mail!! woohoo.. Carissa LOVES it... and she actually gets the concept of the string and the magnet.. and all that.. which is so cute!!!

Oo by the way... 15 months update! just got back from the dr.

She's 19 lbs 13 oz (yeah yeah.. she's tiny.. we can see it)
and she's 30 inches long

Everything good.. we haven't gave her the flu shot yet.. maybe next week.. or month.. or year...

Who wants "Chocolate cake"

Well... she took off her diaper.. signed 'potty' so I thought.. wow.. then she headed to the toilet. I sat her down... she sat there for i don't know.. 1 or 2 mins.. and she got up.. so I was like.. oh well.. let's try again some other time.

She headed towards the front door.. squat playing with her stacking cake toy. and POOPED!!! *sigh*

what a wonderful day.

Update on Potty Training Project

Well... I think Carissa not sure about feeling the wet diaper.. she suddenly got so clingy and confused... :D hehhehehe. I really think when she really wants something.. she will learn signing really fast. Today she copied 'play' sign really quick, just because Carson was playing with her, bouncing her and all that fun stuff.. she was all giggly and sign 'more'. Then I asked what do you want more? and then I said "more play" while signing at the same time. Then she actually did the 'play' sign. Well not exact play sign to the T, but she made a fist and lift both of her fist up and shaking them.


More Play Sign by Mommy Dee

Ok back to potty training project, I emphasized the sign 'potty' everytime she sees me going to the bathroom, or when I change her diaper. So then.. she actually signed 'potty' and ran towards the bathroom where her potty is. But no pee yet, but she sat on her lil potty and read the parenting magazine. I think she just like to read in the bathroom.. But I think it's a big step that now she knows the 'potty' sign.


Potty Sign

I'm so proud at my baby, she actually already "talk" to us more than kids her own age. OOoo and she also already know "diaper" sign, so when she wants her diaper change or her diaper fell off and she wants them back on, she actually can tell us. :) How nice is that?!!

Cloth Diaper Baby??!!

So.. I know.. I know... I bet you're thinking.. "What is she thinking??!!! cloth diapers??!!" :D

Here's my new project on her. Since the first attempt of potty training was too tiring and I didn't have time for it. So now, here's my plan.. My goal is to successfully potty trained her by her 2 yrs birthday.

I was thinking.. maybe IF I change her to cloth diaper.. she will realize that it's not fun to pee on her pants since she will feel that it's wet. And while she's complaining.. I will teach her the "potty" sign. Every time I changed her diaper I show her the potty sign. HOPEFULLY, by the time she can say the word potty.. she's diaper free.

But yes, I am NOT looking forward to clean t he poopy one.
