17 Months

For the first time ever, i completely forgot about London's birthday month.  My mom sent me an email to congratulate me and i remembered. I guess i got carried away with..., well, i don't have an excuse. I really just forgot! :(

London is doing extremely well these days. She loves going to school. Each morning when we drop her off, her friends greet her the second she gets to the room.  They surround her and say "Hi London", "Good morning London".  She is definitely loved by her friends.  I could see the development in affections she has for people outside of close friends and family.  She is definitely attached to her friends at school.

As London is gearing up to the "Terrible Twos" we are already experiencing some of the symptoms: she is constantly testing her boundary and pushing our buttons whenever she can.  I would tell her "No" and she would responses "No" to me.  It might sound hilarious but it could be very frustrating.
Now that she's talking, it's a whole new level of excitement in the house.  She makes up words for common things and Deonn and I eventually use those words. The most common: "wawa" for"water".  
No luck on "potty train" just yet. London would tell us if she has a dirty diaper by either touching her diaper or getting a fresh diaper out of the box and give it to us. However, when we try to put her on the potty, she would get up right away.  I guess it will happen, when it happen.

London loves her play center that we created for her. Long gone are the gates and the play mat.  We set up a table/chairs for with lego surface option. She plays mini lego once in a while. We also bought her the jumbo lego that she loves to just dump them out of the bag and put them bag. Not much of lego building activities there.  We also got her a double sides drawing board: one for marker and one for chalk.  She loves drawing,s scribbling and making a mess in that corner.  One good thing is that she understands not to scribble on other furniture or anywhere else.  Well, after a few incidents, she knew better. 

She loves carrying mommy's purse

London's favorite item: Deonn's iPad.  She knows the press the "Home" button then slides the finger to
unlock, then punches random number for the password.  She watches "Brainy baby" and her show "Doc McMuffin".  It's cool that she doesn't care for Dora Explorer. It's not my favorite show, either :)
