Blowing Bubbles and Paper Horns

Within four days Lady M got her two milestones during the holiday season.

In my previous entry, I posted there that she received gifts from our neighbors and one of it is a set of two bubble tubes.

 She was so eager to try it herself when she saw me blowing bubbles so I let her play with it. She was a bit upset with her first try since she generally suck the air instead of blowing (ha-ha! I guess that's a habit from the sippy cup and straw cup). So I showed it to her one more time and she somehow get the idea. She tried again, this time she's blowing air but not that strong enough to create bubbles, which makes her more upset and she's about to cry. I told her to blow again, and again, and again, and she complied though agitated. At last, she was able to create a few bubbles (ooh! that big smile in her face and some giggles). A few more practice and she finally get the hang of it (yippee! \*^_^*/).

And then yesterday, my cousin fetched us because we're spending, again, the new year at my Aunt's house. He brought with him a couple of paper horns which makes Lady M interested with it because of the sound it makes. She tried it and just like blowing bubbles she suck the air. And again she was upset and all because her Kuya is making sounds with the paper horn while she's not making any (she easily gets upset, so I have to encourage her to try it again, and again, and remind her to blow not suck). After a few more tries she made her first sound and she was really, really happy with it.

Seeing Lady M smiling and giggling with these milestones reminds me of the times I'm achieving my own successes as well, even as simple as running a program successfully without encountering an error or cooking/baking/making something for the first time with a good result. I'm so thankful that God grant me the opportunity of witnessing most of her milestones, if not all. \*^_^*/

A blessed new year to all of you guys!

Happy Feast Day of the Solemnity of Mary Mother of God!

 Wishing you all a 2012 full of blessings from above!
