new words everyday

the little one surprises us with his verbal skills progression for the past 2 weeks.
he can utter the following words without us prompting:
- mama
- papa
- por por (婆婆）
- ball (more like bah..)
- duck
- star
- wow-wer (for flowers.. ha.)
- nana (for banana)
- doo-doo (for pacifier)

and these by repeating after us:
- mor (for el-mo)
- jiu jiu (舅舅）
- goon-goon (for gong gong 公公）
- ge ge (for 哥哥）
- jie jie (for 姐姐）
- and a lot more random stuff.

really very fun to see him staring hard at our lips to see how the sounds are made and then trying to pronounce them himself.

nowadays, yz is getting more sticky to me. he is still ok with being carried by others but he prefers me to carry him most of the time. :)

and once again, baby 's memory is shocking. sometimes i wonder if it's good to use words that i deem too complicated to them, but somehow, yz knows and remembers what im referring to.
for example, i used to bring him to playground downstairs and spread my arm around while telling him" playground" so he can associate this place with the word.
and he remembers! ha. so now whenever we come out of our lift, he can point us to the right direction when we ask him where is the playground/7-eleven/mrt/carpark etc? ha.

its really not a joke when they said babies' minds are like sponges! they absorb everything soo fast! really must be careful what we talk and how we behave around them

ok, last update on the little bub. he knows how to dig his nose liao! LOL.
it started with him always doing that to our nose when we asked him where is papa/mama's nose. then now when we asked him to point to his own nose, he'll point and then slowly try to dig his nostril with his index finger. such a funny sight!!
but hor, his finger is bigger than his nostril!! so kena stuck at the entrance, heh.
my mum is not very pleased with this new antic. she is scared that he'll scratch his little nostril. :P
but, so funny!
