Eowyn at 20 months

Correction: This post is actually for Eowyn's 20-month updates. Thanks to my ever beautiful twen who corrected me! Lisod jud diay matiguwang na ta noh? Ha ha ha!

This post is a little delayed, as I just had surgery on my right wrist and I could not use my hand for at least a week. Anyway, now that I can type again, albeit slowly, here's Eowyn's 20-month updates:

• Tells her dada impatiently to "Go, go, go!" whenever we stop at a red light and she sees other cars starting to move on the next lane. And when Dan finally accelerates, she mutters enthusiastically "Wheeeee!!!"
• Does not ask "Why?" yet, but she definitely inquires "What happened?" when she doesn't know what's going on
• Comes up to us holding a book, and in a very cute voice, begs us to "Read, please?!" Now who can resist that?
• Also, gives us a DVD of her choice and then says, "Watch (title of movie here)." Eowyn has an extensive Disney DVD collection, and interestingly enough, she knows them all by heart (dvd artwork and cover included).
• Whenever Dan drops her off at daycare, she would bid her daddy "bye-bye" followed by an ever endearing send off: "Have a good day!"
• Loves to dance in circles around the house, and whenever I tell her that she's gonna get dizzy, she would giggle and copy me, saying in her cute baby voice "gonna get deee-zzzeeee, gonna get deee-zzzeeeee!"
• Her latest pretend play antics is playing doctor. She was with me when my surgeon replaced the dressing on my wrist last Wednesday, and as I shuddered with fear when the doctor started unravelling the bandage, Dr. B told me reassuringly, "It's okay, it's okay!" What d'ya know, when we got home that day, Eowyn played with her doll and pretended to wrap a bandage on the doll's wrist (using her diaper wipes, what else!) and consoled her patient by saying repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay."
• Much to the consternation of Dan, Eowyn now screams like only a girl can. It's a very high-pitched, ear splitting scream... Thank God she only does this whenever we play peek-a-boo or hide and seek!
• Says "welcome" whenever you thank her, and "Bless you!" after she hears you sneeze.
• Hollers "Hoy!" when she wants to get your attention. I know it's not very polite, but it's just so cute when she says it. It always makes me laugh.
• Yesterday when I was feeling somehow depressed (after learning that my little brother quit school to work in Manila), I hugged Eowyn and asked her to be a good girl always and not give mommy any problems. She hugged me back and perhaps sensing my pain because I was crying, told me soothingly "It's okay, mommy, it's okay!" then planted a big kiss on my cheek. If that didn't make me feel a lot better, then nothing else ever will!

Yes, it's truly precious to have a child. Eowyn is one of my greatest treasures, and everything seems right in the world when she flashes me one of her sunshiny smiles, hugs me tight, and gives me a kiss! I never knew this kind of joy before until she came into my life... and thank God a million times a million for that!

hallo twenny, is this for the 19th month or for the 20th? i'm just confused hehe! ang galing ni Eyo ha! si Shana limited pa ang vocabulary nya but she understands/speaks both german and english languages at may halong Tagalog pa yan hehehe! but we are not worried about her speaking ability, i told you before na magaling syang mag-puzzle di ba? mas lalo na ngayon ;)

na ja, amazing kiddos, really amazing! give my regards to Dan and kiss to Eyo!

Hi May, I hope your surgery went okay and it doesn't hurt that much.

Wow, Eowyn is talking like a big girl na jud and it's sooo cute. I can't wait when Evan talks in complete sentences na rin.
