17-Months and counting…

My Oh My! Darrius is 17-month lioa! Things are moving so fast when we are extremely busy! I don’t even blog or blog hop at night any more as I was soooooooo tired when I entered the room every night! I’ve almost forgotten to write Darrius’s updates as there are just too many happenings over the past few days.

Darrius has also been more demanding now as he can ‘talk’ and calling out to dad-di or maa-mii. I can’t even leave him alone for long as he will be wailing for me after 5 minutes or so with ‘maa-mii? maa-mii?’…. sounded so kesian (poor thing) and i have to leave whatever I’m doing to attend to him.

His speech is getting better each day as he tries to join 2 words together now. Yesterday, when he wokeup and wanted to have milk, he said ‘maa-mii, murk-murk’ with pleading eyes.

Darrius’s latest vocabs:

• bret – Bread
• cro – Cross
• car – Star
• mooooo – Moon
• mol – Mole
• mont – Moth
• boon-kar – Tricycles
• ack – Flag
• kak kak – Kakak (sister)
• mower – Flower

Now Darrius loves to climb the stairs when we are not looking. He will first climbs the first 2 steps and if we are not aware, he will try to climb the rest! However, he dare not come down by himself!

I’ve taught him to hold the spoon and hoping he can start feeding himself soon. Now he knows how to hold the spoon but whenever I put something into the bowl he will use his fingers/hands instead! *slap forehead* When he’s tired with all the food sticking on his palms/hands he will then rub his hands on his head! Aaarrrggghhh! There’s always cookie crumbs lar, cereal crumbs lar, pasta crumbs  and whatever crumbs lar on his head if I just leave him alone for a while.

Recently I have been cooking and eating a lot of spicy food and this little gluttony will scream for a bite. I will give him whatever but will warn him first saying the food is ‘hot-hot’ but he will insist on what I’m having! So I just give him lar! Now he likes all the spicy food! He will give a funny expression when the spiciness reaches his taste bud but will still scream for more! So tham-jiak!:P

I have started him on a myraid types of food and so far he’s taking them with not much problems. No allergy reactions or what so ever. With the recent mango season, PiggyBeng even fed Darrius some and he seemed to loves them! I’m sure my mom would not approve as she regards mangoes as ‘adult food’!

After walking for 3 months, now Darrius can run too! Though his steps are still quite wobbly at times but he is such an impatient chap and always want to walk real fast! When we are out shopping, he refused to be hold too as he likes to walk by himself.

Has been trying to wean him off my breasts for over 2 months now but still not very successful. Now I still have to breastfeed him at least once a day or night… if he asked for it if not I will not remind him either. A few nights ago, he did managed to sleep through but last night he asked for milk again. Hopefully I can get to wean him off completely before he turns 18-month.

Even though Darrius only naps once a day but he can sleep longer, 1.5-3 hours daily. This leaves me more time to blog do my stuff. However, he do not want to sleep early at night and will want to play with us… so we have to pretend to be sleeping and only then he will try to toss and turn till he falls asleep…

Huh? You talking about me?
