Jared turned 10 months on the 1st day of CNY. Time flies, isn't it ?

He can now crawl and stand unassisted for more than 10 seconds, each time he will smile and waved his hands as a sign of achievement. When holding on to the sofa, he will make some steps and move from one end to the other. Has become extremely active, touching almost anything that he can reach, really exhausted when taking care of him. However he has grown to be even more adorable and "manja", will hug and lie on our shoulders when we carry him. When we ask him to lie down and sleep, he will do so and pretend to be sleeping but that only lasted a few seconds, hahaha. Wants a lot of attention probably due to the reason that babysitter never left him alone. Will cry out loud when we are out of his sight.

Indeed a jovial baby, will smile each time he sees us when waking up in the morning. He is also very playful, likes to play peekaboo with everyone, laughs out loud at the slightest joke.

However he wont simply allow anyone to carry him. When hubby came back from US 2 weeks ago, he refused to be carried by me the moment he saw daddy.

Has started to snatch toys from "jie jie" even though "jie jie" gave him some toys to play and even raised his voice when jie jie scolded him..

As for communication, he can make the "da dee" and "je jie" sound quite clearly when I taught him to say so or when he wanted their attention. But I still can't be sure if he is really saying those words.

Able to imitate some simple movements, like pointing to pictures which interest him. He also knows how to fit round, square and star shape blocks on to the shape-sorting lid. Able to grasp ball and pass to daddy when asked to do so.

At times when I need to attend to something, I will leave him in the playpen and let him watch brainy baby dvd, he loves to watch the 1st part where it shows pictures of babies with their ages and occupations.

As he is taking 2-3 times of solid meals, his milk intake has also reduced to 4-5 times (6.5-7 oz) with 1 serving of formula and the rest are BM.
