18 & 19 Months Updates

I was VERY tight up with personal and office work. Timing is always that bad when you need to go on vacation, then something pop up! It has been always the case! *argh!*

Honestly, I can't recall what were his exact accomplishment for Month 18. So I decided to combine this 2 months together.

Vital Stats:
Height: 13.1kg
Weight: 86cm
Teeth: A lot!

Dietary:
Milk: 3x per day at 7oz each feeding
Meal: porridge (lunch) + rice(dinner) + snack in between. He likes "Siew Mai"

Development:
- He almost stopped pinching on our arm in order to go to sleep. As long as we sleep next to him, he is ok.

- He is a strong boy because whenever he pushed his sister, either she will fall down or go out of balance.

- He can be a big eater as he can finish 1.5 plate of porridge. BUT...when he is sick, he eats like a kitten. So I labeled his tummy as 'scalable tummy', just like his dad. Can eat a lot or eat very little type!

- His vocab is slow although he understands FULLY on our instruction. At times when we ask him to repeat after us, we easily need to say 5 times, then only he say once!

- He doesn't say the word "bye" to strangers but only to the family members. He will just raise his hand to say bye, the type where you say bye to someone far from you. Cool boy, I tell you.

- He doesn't smile to stranger even if he is being tickle/play with. All he does just stare at you! Just like his daddy!

- He enjoyed brushing his teeth sessions twice per day (i haven't introduce toothpaste). Just brush the teeth and gaggle. Oh well, he did very well on the first day when I asked him to gaggle. I only use boiled water for 3 days on him. Now, he is fully on tap water as we know he won't swallow down.

- He is a book lover, even he can flip the book upside down!

- After seeing his sister on coloring, he is into it too! We are careful on him for now, worrying he may accidentally get poke from the crayon/color pencil. So he needs to be supervised whenever he is coloring.

- To certain extend, nanny said he is a very "organized" person. When the usual stuffs are not display in the usual order, he will 'ask' us to put things back, like our floor map, keys, etc

- He loves chocolate and knows when to ask from Kong Kong!

- He gets VERY excited whenever he sees any animal, especially bird, cat and dog! He will shout, move and point, 'telling' us to look at it.

- He is a stubborn head. He will whine until he gets the things he wanted. It's not easy to divert his attention or we substitute him with other thing. Most of the time, we give in because he cried SO LOUD!

- His concentration span is still short. He is more visual than listening. Well, at this age, I don't expect much.

- When he fell down and hit on something, he will go to tell EVERYONE in the house. :-)

- When we play a fast beat music, he will move his butt and 'dance'. His dance = bending both knees!
