The world according to Felicia.

All,

Such a long time that I haven’t had time to write a post for my Felicia, my lovely dauther, as I have been doing many works. Well, today, I paid for miracle gift (call image for a lelic of The Buddha) actually I would like to donate to Wat Prabatnampu Temple ( this place helping drug addict people also HIV affected) Look the place

This time this place need donation for helping their people. However, I help by donate some money and get thing for Felicia. Look

The place for Year of dog name “Prakatekaew Chulamanee”

From the history said that this place keep some of Buddha bone which a Brahman name “Tone” hide from stloen. This place was very hard to travel, then people image the place to worship at their place. This pagoda is settle nearby Ping river, Chieng Mai. Inside, builde in Ratanakosin era (about year of B.C 1971 ) Nowaday open at 8:00-16:00 pm. for all people visit

I can climb the stairs, all by myself. Look.

Here is the proof that I can walk. This is from yesterday, my 10-months birthday. What do you like my bumblebee dress?

I can now proudly say that I can walk. I took my first unsupported steps a few days ago.

It is very scary, so I don’t want to walk, but daddy cheat on me. He sit on the floor and say Kom hit (that is swedish for come here). Then he stretch out his arms so I think he will take my hands, but he doesn’t. And then, before I understand what happen, I take three or four steps on my own.

Now I have to practise this. So I can walk longer. It is fun. But as I said, it is also scary.

Another thing I can do now is climbing the stairs. That is not scary at all. I can climb very fast too. I like to climb up the stairs. But only half way. Up to the window.

Because I like to watch the cats who are living on the roof next door.

I’ll see if we can arrange some pictures, or maybe even a video, of me walking. It is hard though. Because as I just told you, I only walk a few steps a time.

Back again. From Central. We got that thing so I don’t slip in the shower. I tried it already. It works.

No more sense. Let’s take it as I come to think of things. Today my weight is 10.1 kilos. Or maybe. I am not sure. Because when you stand on the scales, you have to be standing very still, so the scales have time to measure your weight. I have problems with that. Standing still. Because it looks so funny when the numbers are counting up and down. If I stand still the numbers stops. If I keep moving, the numbers keep moving as well.

Then I laid down on the floor. It was time to measure my length. That was easier. No numbers disturbing. And I like to lie down on the floor and look at the fan. The fan is in the roof. That is in the living room. In my room I have a bee. In the roof. That is even more funny than the fan.

Anyway. I am 75 cm long already. That is tall. I think. At least it is tall enough. Because I can see what’s on the bed or on the sofa. When I was only 58, I could not.

I have two teeth. So now I have to brush them every day. I can do it myself. I have a baby toothbrush. Look!

But my dad or my mom still have to help me. Because sometimes I make mistakes. Like this. They say it isn’t correct this way. I think it works just fine.

Did you see? Not only brushing my teeth. I stand up. I can stand up now. Without holding onto anything. Just like that. All by myself. Sometimes I don’t even need to hold onto something to stand up. I just stand. From sitting. Sometimes I need to hold onto something, like a chair or something, to be able to stand up. But then. Release. Standing. Freestanding.

The first time I was standing without holding anything was in July 26 - 7 months and a lot of days. But we don’t have any pictures of that, I think. At least I can’t find any at the moment. But I promise you, I can. I CAN!

Some other standing photos instead. Where I am holding on.

Holding on to daddy.

Holding on to the stairs.

This stair standing photo is a really hard trick. Don’t try this at home. You see. I am standing up. But about to sit down. Without diapers!! That is very dangerous.

After such a stunt you have to do a prayer.

The next step now is to walk. I have a thing that is reminding my dad of the sort of things old folk have when they forget how to walk.

I haven’t forgot how to walk. I never remembered. But I think I start to understand how it works now. So I think I will start very soon. As for now I hold on to my old folk thing, or dad, or mom, or grandma, or the sofa or something else, when I want to walk.

Now I am tired. I tell you about the crawling another day. I can tell you though, that I started to understand the crawling thing when I was in Sweden. Now I’m to fast for my own good, dad says. I don’t know what he means by that. I only know that I can crawl very fast. Sometimes I crawl so fast my arms can’t keep up with the rest of me. Then I fall. Maybe that is what he means to fast to be good for me?

Ok, one picture of that today.

Good night.
