More words...

Since last month, when Gareth started imitating words, we have so much fun teaching him to talk. He is learning fast.. he is now imitating different words, sounds and of course songs. He is also learning to sing Filipino Songs like Ang Bayan Ko and Lupang Hinirang. I am so proud of him.

I am so happy that he continues learning and I can't wait for more.

At the Party



This pictures were taken during the First Birthday of Pillow (Gareth's Little Sister). As you can see, he is not really enjoying the party. I rented an inflatables so that he can still enjoy the party.

I hope next time he will be more aware so that he can enjoy a party like this. Please God...



























































Gareth's Last Song Syndrome


Gareth loves music. If he is so silent and not focusing on us, we can easily get his attention through his favorite music. When we are going to his the therapy center, he is singing and I can't figure out the title of the song so it's hard for me to join him.

Then I realized that it was a Tagalog song. Gareth seldom sings tagalog songs so it really surprised us hear him tried it. By listening to the tone, I confirmed that he is singing "Ako'y isang pinoy, may sariling wika" and so happy that he is really trying. Though it's hard to understand because he has a hard time pronouncing it but I am so happy.

I think he learned it from school.

Here's the thing:

Gareth attended school since last year but he is not that cooperative. When he started his OT and SPED therapy for 4 times a week there are a lot of improvement and mostly noticeable development.

He is into GFCF diet for a month now and so far I love it! He is now more focus. He can imitate words little by little. His behavior is controllable. He is now behaving in public unlike before that he will just throw tantrums whenever and wherever he wanted.

Just this afternoon, we went to DFA for my kids passport application. I didn't expect Gareth to behave all through out the process. He is behaving normal and just silently sit and waited. When it is time to take picture he is somewhat afraid and feel uneasy and luckily, hubby brings the PSP and put it above the camera, then Gareth has a nice passport picture. So proud of him!

There are some development and I will discuss it more next time!!

Have a blessed day everyone!!
