When she is 17 months
Mina is 17 months today. She is the most beautiful baby in the world. She is very smart. She can speak a lot of words (mostly in Vietnamese). She can understand 3 different languages, Vietnamese, Persian, English, and some words in Tagalong (Dori taught her). It is so natural for her with languages. She automatically knows that there are many words associated to one meaning. She can say "Mommy", "Daddy", "Mina", "Baba", "Mama", "Hamid", "Amoo", "Chi", and lots of other words. She loves to watch Videos, especially videos of herself. She is the life of our house. Everyone loves her. I can never get tired of being with her. But sometimes she is pretty demanding. She is the boss, and I am a complete slave to her. She orders me around all day. The amazing thing is that I keep taking it more and more with joy. She is full of energy and confidence. She loves to go out. Whenever she sees strangers, she loves to wave to them to say hi and blow them kisses. She is a very social baby. We are so proud of her. She eats really really good. She loves to eat spaghetti, chicken, corn, cereal, salad, tomatoes, apple, kiwi, strawberries, oranges, tofu cheese, and orange juices. She is not very fond of fish, but she can eat it. Her most favorite food is instant noodle. We don't like to give her that too often, because it is not very good for her. She loves to read books. Every night before going to sleep, she easily can go through 10 books. She never get tired of books. We take her to bookstores and library at least two times a week. She loves to spend hours in the library to play with other kids and go thru pictured books. Recently, we take her to Grouse Mountain. And Oh My God, she was so thrilled playing with the snow. So we try to go every week, so she can get used to the snow.
