Update on Juju and Jojo

Jujube (27-months old) finally seems to be losing her quick temper a bit and has become an amusing little person. Here are two examples.

This past weekend she spent the weekend at her grandparents. My parents spent the entire time between end of dinner and her bed time playing with her and lavishing her with attention. As she loves to be the star of the show, Juju was elated and in a moment of joy she hugged her grandpa and planted a kiss on his chin, leaving a bit of saliva. Then, she looked at her handiwork with bemusement, and said, “Grandpa is drooling!”

Lately she loves to point out various things, just to say that she’ll have this or do that when she grows up, usually things that she yearns for but isn’t allowed to have or do at the moment. Yesterday she was picking up individual pieces of candy from the plate of candy on the dining table, and for each piece, saying that she’ll have this piece when she grows up. I know she’s had her eye on the candy for a long time now, but so far she’s only toyed with them. I proceeded to tell her that sure, she can have them when she grows up, 30 years from now. After she did another round of “I will eat this piece when I grow up”, she looked up at me expectantly with her big liquidy eyes, and said, “I grew up!”

Jojo (8-months) has mastered crawling at just a bit over six-months and has been practicing cruising. He’s finally started to babble at about seven months. At eight-months, his eczema is somewhat better, at least not as visible on the face, and he’s an active, happy, and energetic little boy.
