Map was now 17 months old. In the last two week (but more prominent in the last one week), Map wanted to climb all things. Her favorite was dining table. But she also climbed chairs, cabinet with glass top, coffee table, ladder, stairs, baby gate, etc. All day long she would climb something. When she climbed to the top of the dining table, she would start running lengthwise from one end to the other - back and forth. This gave Mommy close to heart attack every time. Saying 'no' to her was not helping. And when mommy tried to take her down, the moment her feet touched the floor, she would immediately climbed the dining chairs to reach the top of the dining table again. In the last 2 days, she started dancing on the top of dining table too, even twirling. It was very funny. According to the child-rearing books, climbing to the high place was the milestone of 17-month baby.

Map was such a toddler now! Two weeks ago, her favorite snack was applesauce. She would call it 'appleja' because Ja - our helper - made applesauce for her. For the whole 2 weeks, she would eat and eat and eat applesauce. Ja would put 5 apples to make applesauce and Map would finish that within one and a half day. However after 30 apples, it seemed Map had now move on to something else. She rarely ate applesauce in the last few days. Today it seemed she had found new favorite. We went to Carrefour and bought four boxes of blueberries for Daddy yesterday. Blueberries this time were quite sweet and Map finished half a box of blueberries in the morning after her breakfast. In the evening after her dinner, she ran to the fridge, gestured to Mommy to open the fridge, then tried to reach the boxes of blueberries on the top shelf. Lo and behold, she finished the whole box of blueberries by herself after dinner. Mommy was quite sure Daddy would rarely get to eat blueberries this time and we would soon had to go buy more blueberries for Map. But it remained to be seen how long this love of blueberries would last.

| Blueberries yum! |
 |
| Daddy - more more! |
 |
| One box of blueberries and still going strong! |

| Hey you! |
Right now when Map wanted anybody to pick her up, she would say 'come come' and extended both her arms toward that person. She imitated this from Mommy who did it when Mommy wanted Map to come to her. It was very funny to see Map did it with such passion.

So nice to see Map dancing on dining table.May be time for getting another table exclusively for map.
Please also try other fruits like oranges and see whether she will relish.
