the little bub will be 13 mths old, come next wed! to date, he still hasnt start walking yet. he loves to crawl fast, zipping in and out of rooms like nobody's business! sometimes, when he is in the mood, will stand up without support for quite sometimes like up to 20s? but once he realised it, will immediately sit down and crawl away! heh. think for scaredy cat him to really take the first few steps, we need to wait awhile more!
but as my mum said, fret not. its common for some babies to start walking as late as 18mths! and she's secretly relieved that she does not have to chase him yet. well, hope when the time comes, yz wont collect bumps and bruises too much! :P
verbal wise, he's slowly making progress. he can call mama, papa, por por when he is in the mood. my fav. is in the morning, when he wakes up and crawls to my side and shouts mama real loud! :) most evenings when i reached home from work, he'll jump excitedly in the play-yard and call mama out loud too.
he can say some other words like duck, ball, star etc.
oh, im pretty impressed by how much he can understand us though he may not be able to respond back with words.
like yesterday, i passed him my card holder (which holds random cards + my ezlink card) and told him," baby, take out mickey mouse card and give por por.". and he proceeded to open the cardholder (flap open) and pull out all the cards, saw my ezlink (mickey mouse sticker cover on it), took it and passed to my mum! :)
and he loves bird-watching (dun ask me why). so normally when we go downstairs walk-walk. will always point to him and he got real excited when he saw them fly off. when back at my mum, i'll say:"show por por how does the birds fly!". and he'll slowly raise his hand up while making the "fuu...." sound. LOVL. so cute! somemore, raise slowly one. ha.
before sleeping, i'll always ask him:"let mummy smell chou chou." and he'll crawl over and stuff his smelly beanie in my face!
since before, he can point out correctly for quite a number of items. like the fan, tv, air con, clock, elmo soft toy, balloon, watch, comb, hair, hand, feet etc.
now, we are trying to teach him how things may look differently but are essentially the same thing. u know, cat & dog got so many versions in books n also, compared to real life?
so common things like apple, cat, dog, rabbit, ball, butterfly, car etc, we tried to teach him see from different books as well as real life to understand these are the same despite some slight differences.
and babies are really smart! they are able to remember characteristics for items to identify them! so even when i show him new books, he can point out most items accurately even though he never see these before.
aiyah, i can rant and rant on about him.
but getting really busier come end of the year. this bad mummy got alot of social activities going on which sadly do not involve him at times. so its been awhile since i last took any photos of him!
really must do so soon.
anyway, poor yz is down with slight cold/cough again! but can see that he is getting stronger with his immunity. he only has 2 low-grade fever in response to his cold/cough this time which lasted 2 days only (as compared to his 10days fever 2 mths ago!) and his runny nose is pretty much under control. hope he'll get well soon!
