Jared At 17 Months

Weight : Did not weigh since 15 months old

Teeth : 8 incissors (4 top and 4 bottom) and a few premolars.

Developments

- Able to say cheese, egg, apal (for apple), book, eye and ear when we show thee items to him.

- Keeps babbling A, B, C, J and some "alien" words when flipping his storybooks.

- Able to point to his toes, nose, face, mouth when we mentioned these words.

- Imitates some of the steps performed by the Riverdance dancers such as tapping his feet, moving his hands and tilting his head up and down just like how the dancers did

- Can now fit the wooden number puzzle for most of the numbers.

- Says "Hi" to anyone who greets him with a "Hi". So cute when he does that.

- Whenever we scold him for not behaving by raising our voice, he will show his sulky face and starts to cry...

- Holds his own bottle while drinking milk.

- Refuse to sit in the stroller most of the time when we bring him out, instead he prefers to walk without wanting to hold our hands. So it can be tiring to bring him out as we need to follow everywhere he walks to.

- Likes to scribble using crayons, so we need to be extra careful so that he doesn't simply scribble on our house furniture.

- Loves to play peekaboo with us.

- No sign of calling mummy yet :(

Food

- 4 feedings of formula milk (gain plus).

- Loves to eat noodles. This evening, he refused to eat his porridge and wanted our fried homemade noodles instead. I had to lure him to eat his porridge using the noodles. Wonder how long I can use this method before he knows that he has been tricked :)

- For breakfast, I feed him either cereal or bread with cheese.

- Can eat spicy food such as tomyam noodle, according to his babysitter... pengsan!!!
