Dear Keisha (At 19 months and 22 days)

Dear Keisha,

This picture was taken when you were still turning 19 months, but this is one of my favorite pictures of you. Look at you, all grown up and getting more beautiful each day! :)

Everyday, you amaze us how you've grown and with all your physical, mental and social developments. Mommy has been so busy, she has not kept track of your milestones. I promise I will pay more attention to your developments and I will organize Keisha's playschool at home. :)

At 19 months, you can say Happy Birthday, and speak 3-4 syllables, almost 30 words I believe.. You can very well repeat what we say, so mommy and daddy must be very careful what we speak. You can recognize your family, and I am very happy you do. But you still cry when strangers approach you, I hope we get over this soon. You can jump higher and sing and dance. I noticed you like playing musical instruments, your small piano given by your ninang and ninong. You can name parts of your face and body. And recognize the name of more and more objects.

Just last weekend, we went home for 3 days for your Lola's birthday and I am so happy you charmed everyone!!! You were so bibo, smart, malikot and makulit! They all said you were amazing to be so daldal at that age! I love you my Keisha girl! :)

Your mommy,
Pat

Dear Keisha (At 17 months and 1 day)

Dear Keisha,

You just turned 17 months yesterday and oh how you've grown to be a very beautiful little lady. We had a photoshoot last saturday and as always you were smiling and posing for the camera of your daddy. You're so adorable! :)

Your lolo Jun commented "Pang Ms Universe ang beauty mo!" I definitely agree! Me and your dad of all people is so inlove with your beauty, cuteness and your personality. 

At 17 months, you can walk fast that we had a hard time keeping up. You can speak a 3-syllable word. Some words are Lola, barbie, bayabas, baba, mommy, daddy, etc. You can repeat everything we say. You can jump and tiptoe. You can climb any bed or chair with ease. You can have your way around the house. You have tantrums once in a while and when you notice that mommy daddy or yaya became angry, you will charm your way out of it. 

Eversince, you've been so charming with strangers specially waiters and waitresses to the point of looking or touching them to get their attention. I'm not so sure if that's a good or bad thing. Hahaha. 

I was browsing playgroup options for you prior to this blogpost. Here in Singapore, you can start as early as 18 months. But I'm still thinking if we should push through. 

Everything we do, is for you. We love you Keisha!

Your mommy,
Pat

Dear Keisha (At 14 months and 30 days)

Dear Keisha,

Sorry for not having the time to continue this tradition since my last letter. I have been so busy preparing your birthday, preparing for the holidays, etc. Before that you had a major operation on your pre-auricular sinus, so you can understand that blogging will be the last thing on my mind because I was worried.

It's much different now compared to when you were an infant. You're so active, daldal and your character is really showing.

During weekdays, we only get to play during nighttime but still you give us so much joy. When we arrive at the doorstep, you are so excited to walk towards us. Priceless moment!

You started to really walk without our help, at exactly 13 months. From then, you really explored! You love walking around the house starting from the living room to dining, then to kitchen. So amusing now you learned how to knock on our rooms.

What an appetite you have there little darling! You eat rice and veggies, 2x a day. You love your organic biscuit and can now ask for milk. You call it "mei-mei!" How cute, really!!! :)

And your hair is growing now, look at you rocking your cheongsam last CNY 2014.

Just the other day, your ninang told us that you have learned how to play hide and seek. How talented our little Keisha can get. I love you so much!!! :)

Your mommy,
Pat
