Speaking and teething

Chloe is starting to say some words we ask her to say. 'More' as she would repeat or the sign for ice cream. The other day she started making combo signs, which wowed me. And her back upper and lower teeth are starting to come out. She already started using them to chew on beef that I give her. She ate quite a lot today.

Yesterday was valentine. We had dim sum in Forest Hills. Chloe didn't eat anything the whole morning, except two bottles of milk, until we got to the restaurant. Wow, she kept eating and eating. Of course, it was food she doesn't usually eat. We went to Whitney Museum after dim sum, but Chloe was still sleepy from the short nap she had which made it difficult for her/us to enjoy the event.

Today was different. We went to TimeWarner building, AKA Columbus Circle. Today was a lot better. First thing we did was we went to Buchon. Mimi had a ham and cheese baggett and I had a roast beef sandwich. It was good. Chloe woke up just after my first bite at my sandwich. Bumper. But this time she had her sleep. No fussiness. We did the usual mall thing. Walked around without anything needing to buy. Then we went to the lower level of the mall to shop for groceries at Wholefood. Fresh food at a price. Well, not everything was expensive. We got a dozen of cherrystones for 34 cents each.

Chloe is jumping for joy today.  I taught her jump last night and she kept jumping today all day long.  

I am starting a blog because I am using it as a diary of some sort for the day to day experience I have with my family. Especially with my 16 months and 1 day old daughter. I know years from now I will not remember what we did or something incredible she did. With that said, most of the material here will be mostly about Chloe - my daughter.

I took Chloe to Social Security Admin today to get her SSN replaced. We lost hers and we don't have her number to put in the passport form. We ended waiting for an hour for our turn. It was already pass her nap and she was getting antsy. Finally it was done and I got her SSN. I raced to the car carrying Chloe and got lucky I didn't get a ticket. I gave her a bottle and she dranked it and passed before finishing. It is funny to see her drink and sleep.

I took her to Queens Mall to play in the indoor playground later for making her suffer at the SS Admin. Chloe liked it as usual playing in the playground with strangers. Today I let her slide down the slide. She is still not big enough to play with all the things there.
