15-month lioa!

Gosh! Time really flies… just a blink of the eyes and Darrius is already 15-month old today! Can’t believe my little kaypoh-chi is a big boy lioa… *teary eyes*

A little update on Darrius’s developments:

His hair is still not growing much. Teeth is still 7 but saw one more sprouting out on the left. Weigh is about 10.5kg and height is still unknown. Dislike milk powder so giving him boxed full cream milk instead and so far he’s ok with it. Likes to eat what we are eating and pushes his own food away. Can play by himself for a longer period.

1. Can walk very fast and even make 360 degree turn but sometimes still quite wobbly and tend to fall down.

2. Able to understand a few simple commands such as:

• sit down
• lie down
• stand up
• walk-walk here/there
• come here
• go there
• give mommy/daddy/whoever is around
• put your toy(s) down
• drink your kut-kut (water)
• eat your porridge/cereal
• hug mommy/daddy
• kiss mommy/daddy
• sayang (love/caress) mommy/daddy
• hold this
• do you want this/that? (will shake his head if he don’t want and point if he wants)

3. Know how to demand for things such as:

• always ask for his books (during his meal time…. quite annoying)
• asked to be carried (lifting both his hands)
• ask for his water bottle (kut-kut)
• point for his milk (my breasts)
• ask for his pop-pops by saying ‘popps’ (rice crispies/fruit loops)
• asked to walk by saying ‘wokk’ (so that we can put him down and he can walk by himself)

4. Know how to lie or pretend – when he wanted to get down from the high chair, he will pretend to want to pass motion (will make the eemm-eemm sound with a red face) and hope we will take him out.

5. Able to identify some of his body parts such as:

• where is your botak head? He will put up both his hands and rub his head
• where is your big small eyes? He will use his index fingers and point to his eyes
• where is your teeth? He will put one of his index finger and poke his teeth and says ‘teethh’
• where is your flat nose? Will put one of his index finger and ‘korek‘ (dig) his nose
• where is your hand? Will use his left hand and point his right hand
• where is your big fat leg? Will shake both his legs
• where is your belly button? Will use both his hands and touch his navel
• where is your milk-milk? Will use both his hands and point to his chest

6. New vocab:

• nor-more (with hands gesture)
• un-ti (aunty)
• aor (owl)
• pearr (pear)
• booat (boat)
• yammy-yumm (yummy-yummy)
• frag (flag)
• beebi (baby)
• yabbit (rabbit)
• kaa-kurk (supposedly is Tesco but dono why it sounded more like Yakult!)
• pettir-pettir-pettir (no idea what this mean but he loves saying this)

7. Bad habits

• still asked to go poo-poo in the midst of his meal
• bite/chew on anything his hands get hold of
• like to drink water (while bathing) from his bath tub whenever I’m not looking
• can be very temperamental
• still likes to scream
• pushing his ears when he’s angry
• spit out food
• rubbing his eyes ver hard till his eye lashes ‘hair’ drop
• likes to bite his shoes

We really enjoyed communicating with him now as he started to recognise many things and able to communicate back to us. He has good memory retainment too as he is able to remember things or words we showed/taught him just once.

However, he is starting to do a lot of annoying things such as pressing the on/off switch on the TV, banging things on the table, open/close the cabinet doors, punching on his daddy’s keyboard, banging the remote controls till the batteries drop out, lick the wall and a lot more… *sigh*

It is getting harder to restraint him too as he will scream and wriggle whenever we tried putting him into his playpen/stroller/high chair. He will demand to want to ride on those kiddy rides when he sees them or have cheap thrill on those displayed kid’s mobiles.

That is all for the time being… I might have missed out some details as I can’t really recall everything now. It has been a hectic week filled with Chinese New Year activities.
