Obiwan Vocabulary

Obiwan has been speaking for a few months now but is still unable to say sentences. He understands people around him but he can't articulate what he wants to well. Sometimes he tells stories about what happened or what he saw but it's mostly all vowels and him pointing to things.

These are a few words he can actually say and what he means:

People
Daddy = Daddy
Mommy/Mama/Ma = Mommy (He calls my mother Mommy)
Papa = Papa (He used to call my father lolo but everyone else calls him Papa so he just did the same)
Toto = Tito
Shasha = Tita Sasha
Tota = Tita
Dada = Ate Marie
Berly = Yaya Jonalyn
Tis = Tess
Pidi = Freddy

Food
Kukay = Cereal (It was originally for Coco Crunch but he calls any cereal kukay)
Pantit = Pancit (He loves pancit)
Didi = Milk

Others
Meng/Memeng = Cat
Pati = Dove
Pis = Cockroach
Pis Ptay = Dead cockroach
Shus/Patos = Shoes
Vroom vroom = Car
Bus = Bus

Obiwan goes to the Zoo

I wanted to bring Obiwan to the zoo but it was raining so we had to settle for Ark Avilon at Tiendesitas. It's an indoor zoo so need not worry about the rain. Obiwan enjoyed it a lot. It was the first time he saw lions, tigers, snakes, rabbits, etc. At first he wouldn't let go of me because he was scared, but after a while, he got used to it. It was also the first time he got to ride a merry-go-round in Trinoma. Anyway, the pictures should tell the story better. (Which I'll upload soon.)

Ecopark Pictures

It's been while since I've posted pictures. Here are a few from our recent family day.

Fathers' Day 2010

Fathers' Day 2010 is uneventful. It was the same as any other Sunday. Probably because Obiwan can't greet me yet.

La Mesa EcoPark

The family went to the La Mesa EcoPark last Sunday. Since Obiwan started walking, the family has been going to these family trips and this is one of them. I guess Obiwan made us a family again. We were a family before but our bonding then consisted of watching a movie in HBO together with a bowl of popcorn.

Anyway, EcoPark was really crowded. It was Sunday after all. We ran out of huts or tables to rent and we ended up settling on the grass. It really was a picnic. Then we rented a bike with a sidecar. Then my sisters and brother went over to the zip line and wall climbing area. Obiwan and I didn't go since we can't do that anyway. We just strolled around the grounds. Then I was tired and I gave Obiwan to my mother. As I lay on the ground under the trees, I fell asleep. When I woke up, we were about to leave.

For what it's worth, it was fun. But we don't have any plans of doing it again.

Gymboree

Ninang Mady gave us some coupons for Gymboree a few months ago and we were able to use it for the first time last weekend. It was great! He loved the slide. And he kept going up and down it.

Obiwan and I both were dead tired after one hour of playing. An earthquake couldn't have waken him up when he arrived home. I on the other hand, had soar muscles for a couple of days after. It really was a gym.

I don't have any pictures though. Again, since he learned to crawl, it's impossible to leave him alone and feel safe that he won't hit his head somewhere. Let alone now when he's already running.
