"'Happy Holidays, Sweetie', Mommy!"

That's what Thevy said to me one day when I came home from work. Yep, that's the miracle of television, teaching my daughter how to speak. :) It's been a few months since I've blogged. A lot has happened, but I'm not sure I'll speak on everything. I do want to include pictures at some point, but I've yet to upload them.

Back to the topic of Thevy's speech: her communication skills are really improving. She expresses herself quite well for a two and a half-year-old. She's even starting to correct her pronunciation. You know how some kids pronounce L's as W's? Thevy did the whole "yellow" as "yewwow". But I knew she knew how to reproduce the L sound properly. She could since the beginning Elmo's theme song, which starts off: "La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la! Elmo's world!" So I used to say things to Thevy, like, "Say, 'La, la, la - lion.'" And she'd go, "La, la, la - wion." And I just could not win, except for once or twice! Then recently, I heard her say "Hello" and I was so delighted. lol. It's a tad exaggerated, but I'm so proud of her.

And Sothea - she's 7-months-old. And crawling! She's appears to be a bit ahead of Thevy in terms of motor skills. I love that she can crawl, but that also means more trouble for her to get into. More danger if you're not careful! And I must admit, she's fallen a few times due to her new-found agility!

Anyhow, it's a new year and I hope it will bring new things. Good ones, at that, because I've had a crappy last FEW years.
