Mummy's Boy


Sean is close to me and to certain extend, I have to admit he is really a mummy's boy!

Not that he sticks to me like a glue but i can feel the "i need you, mummy" feeling from him. Good and bad, I tell you. :-)

One thing good is, as long as we divert his attention to either 'kai kai" (outting) or "mum mum" (eat), he is quite ok.

BUT.....

He looks very much like his daddy from his apperance. It's really you see Khoo Sr & Khoo Jr! The type where you don't need to crack your head hard also can tell these 2 men are father and son!

It May Not Be the Best Picture...


But it was the best smile that I get to capture on Sean!

Sean is in the stage of "I see Mummy take camera, I need to run!"!! Very very difficult of snapping his photo now. Have to curi curi take. :-)

21 Month Old


At 21 months old:

Vital Stats:
Height: 13.6kg
Weight: 88cm
Teeth: A lot!

Dietary:
Milk: 3x per day at 7oz each feeding
Meal: porridge (lunch) + rice(dinner) + snacks in between. This guy loves bread

Development:
- Speech development would be the biggest milestone for this month because he is starting to repeat after what we want him to say. this is really a fun time because we get to laugh whenever he says something funny. The latest that we are teaching him right now is numbers in 3 languages - English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

- He is still that bad temper when it comes to "I want my thing'! He will 'show' his anger by raising his hand and hit us.

- I have started naughty corner on him. He was "more than willing" to stand at the naughty corner for a good 20+ minutes and entertained himself (dancing and sitting doing something). Really cannot tahan with this little boy. Only after I 'confronted" him if he could repeat his act, then baru he cried, ran to me and hugged me for forgiveness. VERY stubborn boy.

- His learning speed is faster compare with his che che. On most occasion, I just need to teach him once and he is able to do things. For example, I just need to show him once on my iPhone how to play a baby puzzle, he is able to slide the animal and place on the right box.

- He is able to balance himself well and ride on the kiddy bike alone, operated by battery type. He is able to move the 'sterling" although the sense of direction still out a bit! Considering at this age, not bad. Talking about bike, I told his daddy this boy will grown up a "tekan minyak kaki" because he moved his body forward and lift his butt up during the ride, as in to help him speed up!! Will see.

- He is able to play the puzzle set pretty well. The puzzle set that i have introduced to him are 1) matching the animal with their house 2) pair the same animal of a mother & child (like dog and puppy). I am in the midst of teaching him 'opposite'.

- When it comes to the last night feeding (around 9pm), he is willing to drop the toys/books that he is half way doing, took a pillow and lye down waiting for us to give him the bottle. it's fun seeing that actually...but i tell you, if he is not coping well, there is NO WAY we can force him to even drink a sip! So we more or less know this guy is someone cannot be 'forced'!!

- He is in the stage of mimic what his sis is doing. Mimic EVERYTHING and at times, they will fight after playing for a while. So we will hear 1 crying (Sean) and 1 complain person (his sis). It's noisy at times but that's part of sibling growing up together.

Yay!!!


Honestly, taking children photo never easy! It needs lot of patience , especially when you need to get 2 kids (or more) together in a picture!

The composition you had in your mind on how you want to take a picture can hardly happen on young children because they RUN everywhere and get distracted easily!! Just when you about done on the setting on your camera, they are gone! So, it's all about impromptu!

I love the facial expression of Sean in this picture! He is SO happy.

I brought the kids to the nearby park one of the Sunday evenings. I find this is a good outdoor activity because I can drain the kids out (of coz they have their share of fun) and call a day off early like 9pm.
