1. Language and Cognitive Development
- Pronounces simple words like "Mum Mum" (means food), "Nei Nei" (means milk), Apple, Papa, Mama, Dada
- Pronouces simple alphabets like A, F, H, S
- Understand words like ball, balloon, dog, flower, story book etc
- Understands simple instructions like "Pick up something from the floor", "Bring the pail to the bathroom", "Come here", "No" etc
- Shakes his head or uses his hand to wave "no" when he doesn't want something
- Makes the "smooch" sound when we ask him to kiss us
- Waves his palms to indicate "No more"
- Points to things that he wants or knows etc
- Claps his hands together whenever he accomplished a task (ie he is able to sit into his Bumbo seat on his own. Once he is seated into it, he claps his hands to indicate he accomplished it!!!)
- For some reason, he seems to enjoy the Chinese flashcards more than the English ones
- Tries to be the "Helper" of the household by helping with Daddy when he is trying to vaccum clean the carpet etc
- Keeps his cellphone around his neck (We gave him a fake cellphone, actually it's a torch light "Nokia lookalike cellphone" cos he keeps wanting to play with ours. Comes with a yardline. He "knows" it belongs to him now, so he always puts it on whenever he sees it. Like we would take it off for him during naptime and put it at the side of his cot and he would put it on immediately when he wakes up)
