No mother or parent won't keep an eye on your child's development. As research says, the first couple of years of the baby is their fastest development.

Imagine learning something when you're a teenager or an adult, it takes months or years to get a hang of a skill that you've been practicing or learning. While babies can sometimes surprise you with how fast they learn or pick up things.

I just want to keep track of Lil B's development here. Some of you might have followed her first-year milestones or cosplay. Now I am about to share things that she can already do.

Forgive me for posting mommy stuff, you know first-time mom documentation is needed hahaha.

Anyway here's one of her development, Mama Vs. Dada. Honestly, living in an apartment is somehow not convenient for parents who have a toddler. You know how can loud a toddler be, from the crying and yelling. To be honest, I am getting a little bit frustrated and irritated when Lil B shouts. It's not like I am pressuring her to talk but that's just how I was used to before. I don't like loud noises, I don't like yelling, I don't like fights in raising voices. So when this little hooman shouts, my ears tingle and get irritated.

I remembered her first tantrum was about a toothbrush then my mother and I fought about it. Now that we're not staying with my parents anymore, I don't have someone to nag me on how I handle things with Lil B. It's just that our neighbors here also have babies, about months old, so when my Lil B starts crying especially at night, I get worried that they might complain. Hell, but they would understand and they should understand anyway. I have a toddler who's not talking yet, so literally, they have to bear the crying and yelling. It's not like I am not doing anything about it. Of course, I try to pacify Lil b as soon as possible, I know how hard it is to keep up when you have a newborn.

Last night

Right after we had our dinner, I washed the dishes and took a bath while my husband looked after her. My husband will go back to the office and sleep, so he took a bath and I took over taking care of Lil b. She slept right away after a few minutes of nursing her. She slept earlier than usual.

My husband went back to the office and Lil b didn't see him go. I got surprised after less than an hour of being asleep, she woke up and suddenly looks at the kitchen(service area) and bathroom door, babbles a few words, and said 'daddee?'. Tries to call daddee

I just told her that daddy is at work. Then suddenly I realized she was starting to communicate through words!

It was late last month when she suddenly began babbling words that she can only understand. She also started saying anything that she hears like, Tiktok, dirty, dangerous, chair, Darna, dog, daddy, she can say mommy but won't call me mommy. I was also surprised when one time I was taking a poop (with doors open because daddy is at work), she wants me to carry her while I am seated on the toilet seat. She cried until I carried her and let her sit on my lap. I told her 'mommy will wash first because I pooped. Can you go down first so I can wash it?' then she nodded and didn't cry when I put her down. At that moment I realized that she can already understand things.

When she's crying for no reason, I'll ask her 'do you want to eat? do you want water or milk? Do you want grapes?' If she nods, I'll tell her to sit down while I get food or drinks.

Last night she was breastfeeding non-stop (I even slept earlier than usual because breastfeeding is a very very tiring job to do), then suddenly she stopped and said 'nana' meaning wala na or no more milk. I laughed and asked her if she wants milk in a bottle instead and she nodded.

I can't wait for you to...

Most parents can't wait for their babies to crawl, walk, run, or talk. I did too. Now, she's walking and running and following me everywhere I go.

Since she's also beginning to communicate through words, I can't wait for her to talk. I can't wait for us to have a real conversation soon. HAHHAHHA!
