Five Months
Dil and Ji Yeon were at the toy store with their moms. The older kids had run off to the other toy isles that interested them more then the baby toys.
Ji Yeon suddenly dropped her toy phone that she had gotten for her first birthday. She giggled as her mom picked her and handed it back to her.
"We're not going through that again." Mi Sun sighed as she handed the phone back to her daughter. Luckily Ji Yeon didn't drop it again.
"Go through what again?" Dil asked from his stroller next to Ji Yeon, who was sitting in the front of the cart.
"I used to drop my toys to see what would happen." Ji Yeon answered.
"The first time I did it was a accident. I was sitting in my bouncy seat playing with my baby panda when I dropped it. I was to short to reach it. I started to babble to get someones attention since by this time I didn't like crying for just anything. I didn't think a toy on the floor was worth crying over."
"My mommy soon came and handed the panda back to me. I played with it for a little bit before dropping it on the floor again. Just like before my mommy picked it up. I did this a few more times until I was tired of being in my bouncy seat. I think my mommy was getting tired of this game too because she took me out and put me on her lap. She started talking to me and I tried talking back, but I don't think she understood anything I tried to say. We had started doing this everyday whenever she was home with me. I liked having this time with my mommy, maybe that's why that was my firstest word, but I'll get to that story in a little while."
"So you and your mommy talked to each other even before you could use words?" Dil asked.
"I guess so." Ji Yeon answered.
"Sometime later I had a check up at the doctor where I learned for the first time that I was much smaller then I was sposed to be. I had to drink special food to help me gain weight. I think it helped cuz I finded out at my lastest doctor's pointment that I'm bigger now."
"Good. Let's go pick out a new toy to celebrate you being a big baby now." Dil suggested getting out of his stroller.
"But Dil, I can't walk yet." Ji Yeon reminded him.
"Oh yeah. Well we can celebrate you being a little bit bigger." Dil said reaching for a fish toy that lit up and played music.
"I want that one." Ji Yeon pointed to the ornage fish toy in Dil's hand.
He handed it to her and went off to find himself something.
