when he was 13 month old

When about 1 year old, he knows where is his head, where himself is, where ears, nose, fingers, toes are! (if asked so!)

He likes to share his biscuit by giving it to others, using his gestures.

if music on, or if asked to do so, he will dance for you. (by shaking his bottom or his legs.)

If asked to sleep in bed, he will lie down, smiling. (from 11 month old.)

He read out number two loudly by seeing the Card, one day. And two days later, he recognizes no. 6. but, probably forgot 2 already.

13 month:

Now, he understands and enjoys hide and seek game.

He also enjoys playing , clapping hands game with me.

If asked to stand there, he will do so, and smiling, and show off by turning around.

If you clean the bedding, or clean your own trousers, he will help to do the same as you do. (learn from you)

Now, 16 month old, he doesn't want to share his food to anyone anymore, unless only by a guesture, not in real term. Selfish he is!

And, food is his only concept in his dictionary.

Words

At about 10 and a half month old, my son can manage to say quite a few words, like Glass, Carrot, Bread, Frog, Flowers, Home. They were in Madarin and in his own way, just speaking one word for each thing, rather than a whole phrase.

Whenever we went out, to the supermarket or visiting friends, when we came back, he usually slept in the car. We then wait for him in the car, not long after the car was parked, he usually wakes up. He then looked around and point our house, Jia. (Home)

It is such an amazing thing to watch your child grow and learn.

my boy

My Boy is one year and 4 months old now.

He is more than lovely. He stays with his grandparents now. when he was asked 'do you miss mum?' he would say yes. 'where?' he then pointed to his head, and then his heart. isn't that fancinating?

He loves eating all the time, by all means, never changed. We really don't know how much he can eat and we don't want to try the ultimost limit. When he was about 10 months old, he can eat as much as a 2 years old one. He is always on 100% weigh chart, which means he is the top weighted one among 100 kids.

When grandma says A Yuan is a bad boy, he would say, Jiajia (grandma). Wow, I doubt anybody has ever tought him that, but, then, how much on earth does a 16 month old know?

Really miss him.

Will try to broadcast some interesting stories about him online.

15 Months old

When My Boy was 15 month old, he knew how to get off from a low Sofa and could walk around quite steadily.

He started to (or at least tried to) walk at about 11 month old, then, he gave up for at least two months due to lack of courage.

At 15 month old, he still (like always) enjoys his cookies and fruit all the time. When he was stopped giving some, and was told the cookies run out, he would then stood up and walked to the storage place, and pointing his fingers to where...well, you know where...

during this time, he was normally given a yogurt after dinner walk, just before bed time. But, one night, they didn't give him cos he had a big and late dinner. My boy still climbed to the sofa where he usually takes the yogurt and waiting... he waited for hours and refuse to go to bed... (this hurts my heart)

When he pulled all his grandpa's books off the table, he was told, 'if you pick them up, you will get some cookies'. Then, he run to the sofa where he usually was fed, and sitting there quietly, waiting for the food. ISN'T THAT ADORABLE?

Many parents complain how hard it is to feed a child, that never happens to us, but, we feel it hard to control someones appetite as well!

every family has their own stories.

Pi Qiu (ball)

While he was about 10 month old, my son started to crawl. (he started these physical movement quite late, but speaks early, in his own language)

After three weeks, he turned himself an expert of crawling, opening the kitchen door, opening the drawers of the clothes cabinet, etc., brings himself lots of fun.

His favorite word that time was Pi Qiu, (leather balls). At about 6.00am when he woke up in the morning, he stood up near our bed headboards, saying Pi Qiu Pi Qiu, Pi Qiu ... for half an hour. That was his speech, a rehearsal for presidency election, I guess.

At ten and a half month old, he knew how to kiss and he also knew the word kiss, when asked to do so, he would come up to me, giving me a little kiss. How nice.
He certainly likes kissing mum more than me.

at that time, you know how sweet life could be.
