My Boy Is 18th Months Old!

April 26, 2006

WH turned 18th months old yesterday. Can’t believe my boy is already 1 1/2 years old and no longer a baby.

Weight: 9.3kg
Height: 78cm
Teeth: All front 8 teeth is out. Sprouting 2 lower front molars, 2 lower eye teeth, left upper front molar and left upper eye tooth.

Went to the paed for his 18th month jab. My kids love to go to the paed office, not to see the doctor but to play at the play area (they thought that is a very good playground). When WH turn is called, get him to walk to the doctor’s room by himself. Once he step food inside and saw the doctor face, he cried. Perhaps still haunted by the last experience where the paed “force” the nebulizer on him.

Afternoon WH keeps holding his nappy and pointing to his bum. Asked if he wants to pee or poo, but he kept shaking his head, then only I realize the place that he got jab was quite sore, a little blue black. Even caught him sitting on one side of the bum only. Very funny. He loves it when I rub it with warm water.

More on his development

Mobility: Able to run more stable now, no more humpty dumpty tumbling down like a mabuk. Will carry a chair and climb up to reach up high surface. Loves riding on the car. Playing rough is his hobby. Will drive his little car and bang it against the wall, will ride it very fast, pretend to have an accident and fall down, also like to do pick up on his little bike

Language: Still doesn’t talk much. Prefers sign language and body gesture. Haven’t notice any new words. Ask him to say “Thank you”, he will gives a deep Japanese style bow. Ask him to say “Good night”, he will waves his hand and say “nia nia”. Ask him who naughty naughty, hew would say “yia yia, yia yia” (don’t know who is that, maybe himself ) Most often hear “hhng…hhng …hhng” . Can see him trying real hard to move his lips to speak up when we requested him to, but he just couldn’t make it, and he would shake his head with embarrasment if he doesn’t get it right. At least he can understand all that we tell him.(Maybe boy are slower at this area, MIL said hubby didn’t start to talk until 2 years old and they initially thought he was mute.)

The other night in the car, I told him “Hanh, Hanh big boy already, cannot nen nen anymore. Look, Che che also never ask for nen nen”, he quickly unlatched and sit very still on my lap. Throughout the whole journey, he just sit very still with the very very kesian look.

When the adults are talking. WH will listen instensly. When we have neglected for a little longer, he would join the conversation with his tougue twisting babble as if he understand what we say and want to be part of the conversation too.

Feeding / Food : Still being fed blended porriadge. Tried the unblended on, and he refuse to eat. He’s just being plain lazy to chew, because if he wants too, he can chew prefectly well on all the hard coarse food we gave him to nibble on. Still being nurse on demand. Formula, he will take only depends on his mood.

Emotions : Getting cheekier and cheekier each day. Likes to disturb his sister for no particular reason. Very good in exerting his rights. Will cry out loud in protest to get his way sometimes and will show the longing kesian look. Very loving to his sister also. Whenever JS vomitted, he would drop everything he’s doing and go to his sister and rub her back. When asked him to sayang, he would hug me and pat my back.
Usually I will call WH didi, di, Hanh or Hanh Hanh.. now I have also added a new name for him, calling him AhBeeeeeee. Whenever I call him that , he will give me a funny laugh.

Others: WH is a little Mr. Vain. Now he will choose his own shirt to wear. If we attempt to change him, he would kick up a fuss.
Able to tell when he wants to pee or poo. But still doesn’t know how to take off his nappy by himself. So sometimes if we are not fast enough, he would do it in his nappy.
He’s still as botak as when he was when he’s a baby


Harrasment?

April 26, 2006

When I picked JS from school this noon, she told me solemnly “Sashwin kiss me just now mummy” “See, now I got cough and alot of phelgm already” . I asked her why the boy kissed her, she can’t tell. Asked where the boy kiss her, she said on the cheek

Must talk to the teacher tomorrow. I have notice this boy of 5 years old very fond of JS. Ever since the first day of school, he would always come near JS, whenever JS cries, he would want to sooth and touch her.

Another occation. JS came back from school and told me “mummy, Sashwin got a black birdie” I was shocked that she said so. Ask her why she go peek at people. Told her is wrong to look at people and also it’s wrong to let people see her and touch her.
