While browsing and blog hopping, I dropped by Toni's blog and saw her post about the kids' pedia mentioning the number of words a child needs to know or say by the time he's 2/12. So that got me thinking.. how many words does Dylan know? I know he's a little behind compared to his sister, Dana, since at 2, Dana can already speak in sentences.
So, I listed down the words that Dylan knows or can say:
1. daddy
2. mama
3. ate (older sister)
4. ga-ga (grandma/grandpa)
5. kiss
6. dog
7. bear
8. cat
9. rat
10. mouse
11. horse
12. bird
13. tiger
14. coke
15. bread
16. milk
17. shoes
18. eat
19. food
20. please
21. night
22. down
23. out
24. go
25. sleep
26. car
27. yeah/yes
28. no
29. book
30. write
31. ballpen
32. color
33. pooh
34. wee-wee
35. poop (sorry!)
36. bath (take a bath)
37. diapy (for diaper)
38. cook
39. chair
40. couch
41. watch
42. elmo
43. mumble (the penguin from happy feet)
44. blue (from blue’s clues)
45. panda (kung fu panda)
46. Park (Jurassic Park)
47. Dora (the explorer)
48. Boots
49. Ragnarok (not the whole word, of course!)
50. Doraemon
So I guess Dylan is still okay, although I would like him to be able to speak in sentences already with clear words .. but kids learn at their own pace so it's just a matter of time :)

What a busy weekend!
Last Friday, October 10, we all went to Dana's Ninong Carlo's house in Project 4 because Tita Gigi (his mom) was celebrating her birthday. It's been such a long time since we were there that we decided to go even though it was a bit late, 8pm :)
Upon arriving, Kalila was at the door and she shrieked in happy surprise! :) We were all welcomed like family (which we were - one big extended family). It was a great time to catch up and Johann even went back to his house just to get the kids' last year's Christmas gifts which only shows you how long we haven't seen each other hahaha
The food was great, the company superb what more can you ask for? :) We went home at around 1am, which was really late but we all had a great time :) Can't wait to do it all over again hahaha
And then on Sunday, there was another birthday party at the compound. It was Sean's 7th birthday so free food! haha
Stevie also dropped by that time to pick up his share of the money that Dad and Tita Flor sent. He stayed a while and we watched Iron Man on DVD. We were like Johann too because we remembered that we haven't given Lance's last year's Christmas gift too :) We keep forgetting, getting old, can't help it :P

A day at the Manila Zoo
These are pictures taken during our trip to the Manila Zoo last September 20, 2008. The kids had a great time, especially when they saw the Tiger walking about, the Hippo out of the pool, the ostrich feeding :)
The kids also had a great time playing on the slides. It was Dylan's first time so he was kinda leery but then he couldn't stop when he got the hang of it LOL poor Patrick, it was his job to put Dylan on top of the slide and my job to catch him at the bottom hahahaha
We went for some groceries at the nearby mall after :)
A tiring but fun day :)
