Jared At 15 Months

Weight : 11.5kg

Teeth : 8 incissors (4 top and 4 bottom)

Developments

• Loves to go out of the house for a walk, whenever he saw hubby dressed and standing near the doorway, he will walk to hubby and hold hands asking to be brought out of the house. When we asked him to sit down to wear shoes, he would do. If he didn't get to tag along, he would screamed and sometimes threw tantrums.
• Already calling PaPa since 14 months old, however he has yet to call mommy :(
• He would say "pu yau" or "mai" whenever we gave him something that he didn't want or like.
• Can imitate some of the words that we taught him, such as apaya (papaya), anion (onion).
• Loves to watch Brainy Baby, especially the ones on Animals and Numbers. Will start to dance each time we switched on the RiverDance DVD. He could even tapped his foot when he saw the dancers tapping their feet. Really cute to see his body movements.
• Will now wave bye bye to anyone who says bye bye to him.
• We we surprised to see him taking our handphone the other day for the first time, pressed on one of the buttons, put the phone to his ear and babbled as if he was answering a call :)
• Loves playing with his toy dinosaurs figures and pretends to sound like them.
• Able to sit in his high chair throughout our mealtime at home, the trick is to give him a bowl and spoon with some food which he can learn to feed himself.
• Has started to develop some jealousy with Emily, refusing to let her come near to me or hubby, immediately he will try to push her away and wants to be close to us. Besides, Emily also cannot touch his toys, he will scream or want to snatch back his belongings. To manage the situation, I would bring both of them together and explained to him that he needs to love his jie jie, told him that mummy loves both of them and then all 3 of us will hug each other. Hopefully he will get over his jealousy real soon.
• Says simple words like apaya for papaya, anian for onion, baa baa when we sing the song baa baa black sheep and claps his hands when we finish singing.
• When holding a ball, he will say 'kick', but will throw the ball instead of kicking :)
• Loves climbing up the staircase on his own.
• Tried to slide down on is own when we placed him on the slide.
• Sleeps before 10.30pm after drinking his last bottle of milk. Next feeding will be around 630am.

• Loves to eat spaghetti and cheese
• Now taking Heinz mixed grain with banana flavour for breakfast.
• At home, his appetite for porridge has dropped, on some days, eating only about half a correlle bowl for each meal. However at babysitter's place, he will be able to finish almost the whole bowl.
