It's a Big World!
I am so sad that Lotus is growing up! She's on the verge of mobility! She's already so big and so aware of the world, I just can't believe it!!!! Here is a compilation of photos and a few clips to commemorate her "little-ness" which is fading way too quickly for me!!!
She is such a good-natured baby! I know I've written about this a million times, but I just can't get over how lovely she is! All you do is give her a little, quick smile or a little hug or cuddle and she reciprocates with the most dazzling, brilliant grin or the most lush laugh you've probably ever heard!

Daphne Knows Her Animals, Shapes & Colors
New video, everyone! Check it out, and check back later because I still have a ton more clips to edit and upload! Don't forget to check out Lotus' blog for her new video!

Snobby Snobster, Jeeves and Wooster, Going to the Library, Poo in Potty
The same day Daphne peed in her potty, she also pooped in her potty. After she made her poop, she stood up and started to call for me to help her. When she saw the poop she had made, it was so massive and ugly, she freaked out and cried! She was weeping and saying, "Oh no, oh no" while staring at her poop in horror. She has not used the potty since. She has been very defiant and has been actively avoiding the potty. Very sad. I wonder when she'll start using it again! I can't believe she got freaked out by the sight of her own poop!
A week or so ago when Emmanuel was at the park with Daphne, he told me that a five-year-old boy was blocking her way down the slide. He was yelling, "No girls allowed, no girls allowed" while waving a stick, I think. Daphne, in response, apparently turned around, crossed her arms, and TURNED UP HER NOSE at him. Emmanuel told me that all the adults laughed, he was very proud, and that the little boy looked annoyed. My cousin Catherine, a week before this incident, had said that she imagined Daphne growing up to be a sort of snobby elitist, and I suppose (thanks to Emmanuel, of course, not me) Catherine will end up being correct.
Daphne has been doing this hilarious thing where she performs a faux-curtsy and says either, "I want to wear a coat" or "I want to wear clothes." Then she sticks up her two pointer fingers, and wiggles them while saying, "dinky-dinky." It is the cutest, most oddest thing. We don't know how/where she learned it. I will post a video of this soon, so check back.
Emmanuel and I have been watching this old (from the early 90s) English comedy series called "Jeeves and Wooster". It stars a mid-20s Hugh Laurie (Dr. House on House, MD) as Wooster, a man of the English leisure class, and his brilliant, clever valet, Jeeves. Daphne ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT. She will watch entire 1-hour episodes over and over again. She actually asks us, "Want to watch 'eeves and 'ooster?" When Daphne was younger, she used to LOVE watching "Seinfeld". She must have a thing for comedies, I guess?
Daphne also loves the library. The other day, we entered the library and she YELLS, "OOH, LIBRARY" and I had to shush her. She has been asking me to take her back again, so we are returning today. She has been saying, "Want to go to wibrary, mommy. I want to go wibrary." Hilarious.
Daphne is such a big help with Lotus. She likes to baby-talk with Lotus. When Lotus wakes up from naps, she will tell me, "Baby wake-up, mommy." She loves to sit with Lotus and amuse her with funny faces.
I also got Daphne this cooking utensils set and now she sits on the floor for hours pretending to cook. Ikea was selling kid-sized cooking and baking sets that can actually be used to cook/bake, so I think I will buy her that so she can cook with me! How fun!
I got Daphne the cutest leggings. I will post pictures of this soon, so check back.

Almost Crawling
Lotus has been lifting herself up on her hands and knees lately, but she always slides down on her belly before she ever gets anywhere. I'm pretty sure she's going to start crawling soon.
She grabs at anything in sight! She grabs our plates when we're holding her in our laps while eating. She basically will grab anything you wave near her. My midwife had advised me to take fish oil because of the high amounts of omega-3s and DHA, which are reported to help brain and eye development. From the looks of it, she can see quite far (babies her age are reported to only see 1-3 feet in front of them). She can spot her daddy from halfway across the room.
She's a very calm baby, and she loves people. Daphne only liked seeing Emmanuel and me. Lotus will smile at everyone. She's very content just sitting in her Bumbo while watching me perform various tasks. She seldom cries--only when she is tired. Another way she differs from Daphne is that Daphne always had to be breastfed or rocked to sleep. Lotus cannot stand to be rocked or breastfed to sleep. She needs to be put down and left alone. I did not think it was going to be this easy.
She giggles now, too. Her giggles are very soft. She loves it when Emmanuel "eats" her belly.
Sorry if my posts are not very cohesive. I do not have lots of time to post, so I try to think of everything I can, and it just sort of pours out in no particular order.

Daphne Used the Potty!!!
So, Emmanuel and I have been trying to get her to use the toilet, and after many accidents and washer cycles later--SHE FINALLY DID IT ALL BY HERSELF TODAY!
Emmanuel was actually the one to initiate our potty training efforts. She was running low on diapers, and I had ordered late from Amazon.com, so he decided to put a pair of panties on her to see how she would fare. We even rented a toilet training DVD from the library! She watched that DVD over and over again, but to no avail. We were still having to mop up and disinfect our floor every couple of hours.
At one point, we gave her a cup full of soy milk and sat her down on her potty with the DVD in her portable DVD player. But she demanded to get up during the third viewing of the DVD, only to soil herself 15 minutes later!!!!!!!!!!!
Daphne actually witnessed Lotus take a wee-wee on her potty. Emmanuel believes witnessing Lotus successfully use Daphne's potty stunned and amazed Daphne. He believed that it would drive Daphne to want to use the potty, too.
I'm not sure if her achievement today was spurred on by being one-upped by her younger sister, but I'm glad, regardless.
Here is a quick summary of how it happened:
I was sitting at my computer, paying bills online, with Lotus next to me in her Bumbo. Daphne came and started chattering, and I was absentmindedly agreeing to whatever it was she was babbling about (she was probably trying to tell me she needed to use the potty--I know, I know--how horrible of me). She walked away and came back with her potty. She set it on the ground and started babbling again. I noticed it, asked her if she was going to pee. She replied in the affirmative. I wasn't really excited because she has told me in the past that she needed to pee (usually right after she had peed), and then she'd sit on the potty for a few minutes, then get up when she got bored (no pee or poo in the potty). So I told her to take off her panties and sit on her toilet, and turned back to my bill-paying. She calls for my attention half a minute later, and there she stands; her panties still on, but her potty is full of urine!!! I wish I had seen it! Her panties where all wet, but most of her pee was in the potty. I don't know if she just couldn't get her panties off in time, she just wanted to pee in them, or what. Hopefully, she will do it again!

Independent Sitter and Elimantion Communication...
Last night, Lotus sat up all by herself!
On Sunday night, Lotus peed in the potty! I know, I know!
I had researched about Elimination Communication (EC) and wanted to try it out. However, I never really got around to it. We have been desperately trying to get Daphne to use the toilet, and I think Emmanuel felt disillusioned by toddler toilet training and wanted to give EC a try. So, I gave him a brief run-down on what I knew about it, and lo and behold--by that night, he was able to help Lotus use the potty! I know I should built upon his effort and work, but it's more difficult to be receptive to the signals of an infant when you've got two kids to worry about.
Lotus was sick during the holiday season (along with the rest of us--my excuse for the lack of updates), but she wasn't too bad. She's all better now!
Hopefully, I will find more time to update!

"Have a berf-day, family-mommy."
Just right now, Daphne approached me with a sticker in her hand and said to me, "Happy berf-day, family-mommy." She then tried to stick it onto my face while telling me to "put it on!"
She is growing so quickly. It makes me very, very sad. Recently, she got a hold of baby pictures of herself, and it struck me how big she has gotten.
When we were at the store the other day, I walked about five feet away from her (she was sitting in a cart), and she yelled, "Mommy, come back! Play with me! Come back!"
She also likes to open up her mouth to show me the food she has been chewing--she beams with pride when she does this.
She has been sick lately, and I can tell she has trouble falling asleep because of her congested nose. I gave her decongestant, and she says to me, "No, poo-poo." I told her that it was good and that she should drink it, and she responded, "No, you drink it, a-mommy. YOU DRINK IT, it's poo-poo!" Lol, now, as I type, she is pretending the little measuring cup is a car. She's pushing it along my desk, making "beep-beep" noises. Gosh, she's so funny.

"Turn Off Rain"
Today, Daphne wanted to go for a walk. However, it was raining, and I said to her, "Sorry, Daphne, we can't go for a walk today, it's raining."
So she stood in front of the window for about 15 minutes, watching the rain fall.
She approached me again and said, "Mommy, turn off rain. Turn off rain."
I wasn't sure if I heard her correctly. I responded by asking, "What?"
"Turn off rain, mommy. Turn off rain."
"You want me to turn off the rain?"
"Yeah, turn off rain, outside."
"I'm sorry, Daphne, but mommy can't turn off the rain."
She looked despondent after hearing this. Then she just walked away.

Daphne learns how to say "Hate you!"
On Thanksgiving, Lucie yelled, "I hate you!" at Daphne, and ever since, she has been yelling "I hate you!" whenever she gets upset.
It makes me so sad. I am trying to figure out ways to deal with it. I think I will just ignore it--hopefully it goes away!
What mean, ugly, hurtful, DIGUSTING words!

Sticky Fingers, Diaper-throwing
Here are some conversations I've had with Daphne today:
Hahahaha, Daphne is soooo funny. The other day we were at the park and some kids took her doll stroller, and she went around looking for it, calling out, "Stroller, where are you? Where are you, stroller?" Then she saw it and got all freaked out that other kids were playing with it, and she tried to call my attention because I was bending over to get her sweater. To get my attention she said, very frantically, "Mommy, stroller, mommy, mommy, mommy, Paula, stroller, over there! MOMMY! TA-DAAA, TA-DAAAAA!"
Yes, she said "ta-da". She said it as if she were presenting something to me. It was soooo sad, yet so hilariously adorable.
In the middle of eating her Kare-Kare, Daphne says: Mommy, sticky fingers.
Paula: Huh?
Daphne: Sticky fingers, mommy, sticky fingers.
Paula: Oh,do you want want to wash your hands?
Daphne: (nods) Mmm-hmm.
Paula: Okay. (Takes Daphne down from her high chair)
(Daphne runs off to the bathroom to wash her hands, and then returns)
Daphne: Look, mommy, clean hands.
Paula: Ooooh, yeah, very clean.
Daphne: More food, please. More food, mommy.
This conversation was while I was changing Lotus:
Paula: Daphne, can you throw this diaper in the trash?
Daphne: (she stares at the diaper in my hand for about 5 seconds) Mommy, throw diaper on couch, diaper.
Paula: Uh, can you throw it away in the trash?
Daphne: (continues to stare at the diaper for about 3 more seconds, takes it from me, and throws it on the couch)
Daphne, after washing her hands: Mommy, wet sleeve, a wet frog (there were frogs on her sleeve).
Paula: Oh okay, go wring it out in the sink.
Daphne: Mommy, wet sleeve, a wet frog.
Paula: Yeah, go wring it out.
Daphne: A take it off, mommy, take off clothes.
Paula: Oh, okay. (takes off Daphne's shirt) Put it in the hamper.
(Daphne runs and puts her shirt in the hamper)
Daphne: (Upon returning, she has also taken off her pants) Mommy, I put clothes a hamper, a clothes. Clothes, a get it, mommy (meaning, she wanted me to get her new clothes).
Paula: You get your clothes. Get new clothes for yourself in your drawer.
Daphne: You get it.
Paula: No, you get it.
Daphne: No, you get it.
Paula: You get it.
Daphne: You get it.
Paula: You know where your clothes are, you get it.
Daphne: Okay.
(goes gets clothes then returns with a shirt and shorts)
Daphne: Look, mommy, a clothes. Flowers. (she chose very flower-y clothing)

Weekly Update
Lotus had a CT scan on Wednesday because it is protocol for babies whose head circumference measure "off the charts". Please pray that she doesn't develop cancer later in life, as recent scientific surveys have shown a correlation between pediatric CT scans and developing fatal cancers later in life. Hopefully, this is merely a correlation and not a causation.
There isn't visibly wrong with Lotus. She is healthy, active, and reaching all developmental milestones ahead of schedule.
She is smiling a lot, lifting her head around, and she even giggled once after I cracked a joke about Emmanuel! Coincidence? She's an extremely attentive baby, but she sometimes gets overstimulated by stuff she sees. Those are the times when her new Moby Wrap comes in handy!
I bought a Moby Wrap for her on Saturday because her Simple Sling had torn. I got a simple, chocolate-colored one. The Moby is easy to use, and I'm happy to say that it distributes her weight evenly across my back in a way that her Simple Sling did not. The Moby supports her excellently despite her weighing 14 pounds!

Weekly Update
Daphne has learned to sing "Happy Birthday to You."
She knows what a triangle is.
We made picture frames on Saturday using Christmas-themed confetti and pom poms. In fact, we went to Michael's and shopped for craft supplies so I could do more crafts with Daphne. She is learning to dispense glue very well. I will post a picture of what she decorated later, so check back!
She is very proficient is distinguishing and naming different colors. However, she calls the color black "black bear." I think her confusion comes from the time I taught her the word "black bear" to help her distinguish between a "panda bear." I don't think she understood that "black bear" was the NAME of the animal, not the color of the animal. So now every time we see the color black she proudly exclaims, "black bear!"

Daphne Talks & Loves -- has also Learned Colors and Emotions
Daphne is becoming so talkative. She is starting to string together adjectives and nouns, nouns and verbs. Very cool!
She has also learned her colors. She knows black, red, green, yellow, blue, white. I think she learned her colors because of the Play-Doh I bought!
Here are some videos of Daphne expressing her love:
Also, she has learned to express her emotions! The other day, I was feeling frazzled because Lotus needed me, but Daphne was asking for my attention. I told Daphne to hold on for a minute, and then she started to whimper and say that she was sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She said something like, "Sad. I'm sad. I'm sad."
I have been trying to teach her to express herself with her words because sometimes she uses inappropriate actions to express herself (like throwing books). So I made up a song using different emotions. I just sing the name of the emotion over and over while expressing the emotion on my face and with my body. I have been trying to teach her about happiness, sadness, frustration, anger and surprise.
Very cool, huh?!?

Daphne uses complete sentences! WOW!
The past few days, I have been teaching Daphne songs. Today, sometime, in the evening, Daphne started singing the ABCs all by herself! And then, at the end, she yelled, "SING WITH ME!"
I WAS SO SURPRISED!!!
Another surprise that occurred today--I was looking for stuff in my bedroom, when all of a sudden, Daphne rushed towards me yelling, "I GOT YOU!" Then she insisted that I run away from her while she tried to catch me! It was the funniest, cutest thing ever!
I feel disappointed that I haven't been able to take her to the park for the past week, though. I made it my goal to take her to the park for at least an hour everyday, but Emmanuel and I have been so busy trying to get his graduate school applications ready. Sort of stressful, but exciting!
On Saturday, we are going to visit the Getty Museum! They are having this cool event that I thought Daphne would enjoy! I'll make sure to take lots of pictures to post!

7 Week Check-Up
I forgot to blog about the baby's 7th week check-up on the October 23, 2007. She weighed 13 pounds and 4 ounces.
She is now wearing 3-6 month sized clothing.

Lotus' First Halloween
Lotus was a very cute pea pod. We didn't really get that much trick-or-treating done as Daphne was being very temperamental. We had to take her out of her costume and just hold her in the middle of trick-or-treating because I think she was getting uncomfortable.
SHE WAS SOOOOOOOOOOO ADORABLE, THOUGH! She just looked so chubby and cute in her costume!
