Self praise, some falls and lots of balls

Dear Gabdu:

What is with this self-praise phenomenon. It is great you are sitting up - but do you have to clap your hands everytime you do it. I know it is a great feat ... but you are in a self-praise mode of unbelievable magnitude .. You clap hands whenever you get nto a sitting position, whether it is from lying down or from crawling or creeping or even when you fall down from a standing position! Anyway, you smile so cutely when you clap - and you clap properly with both palms open( not clenched fists). You also clap with the stacking rings in your hand !!! Summer is here and you are wearing sleeveless jablaas, girlie frocks and the works - all in all, looking hazaar cute ... Pappa is hazzaar happy to see you gamboling around when he comes back and then you show so much excitement and when I call you, you actually crawl / creep to me !!

Last weekend was a weekend of some accidents for you - sorry for that ... first of all you fell off the bed - thankfully, no harm done - scary however !!! We will now put some hazzar pillows around you when you sleep so you dont slip off .... then you fell while sitting, nicely hitting the head to the ground on your way down to Earth - you were pulling at the Ocean Wonders Hoop and lost your balance ... and finally, you ate off a bit of paper, while papa was busily putting away his camera - papa is very careless na !! sorry .... :-(

Anyway, last weekend also saw new toys - a BIG ball, inflated with a car pump ... and a bat which is as big as you but which you like banging against the floor with ... and three more nice balls ... basically enzoy !!

This week, we should be getting yours ears pierced (hopefully) so you can complete the makeover to a "girlie" look !!! So much for now, more later when papa remembers stuff ...
