Update on Ethan (...continues)

1 year & 1 week old…..

This post is a little bit overdue. I’m supposed to post this on Ethan’s first birthday but didn’t manage to do so. Here are some updates:

Weight: 9.6 kg
Height: 73 cm (His paed said he’s not that tall wor..)

Diet:
- 7-8 am: bread with cheese/butter or biscuits
- 9 am: milk
- 11 am: Porridge
- 2 pm: milk
- 4 pm: porridge
- 6-7 pm: fruits/yogurt
- 8 pm: milk
- midnight: milk

Sleeping pattern
- Sleep at around 8-8.30 pm
- Wake up at around 7-8 am
- Wake up for one feeding, sometimes two.
- Like to sleep with his bottom up, like a frog.
- Turn 360 degree in his sleep. He will sit up and fall to the other direction.

Speech:
- mama = mummy
- day day day day day = daddy (don’t know why he has to repeat so many times)
- mum mum = food
- berd = bird
- ah ber = when he points to something
- uh! = no more (together with his wrist turning)
- UHHHHHH! = only do this at the lift lobby (testing the echo of his sound?)

Character:
- Warms up quite easily with strangers. He even plays peek-a-boo with strangers in the lift.
- Loves children.
- Difficult to take away something that he’s holding.

Bathing:
- At least twice a day.
- Must have a toy to play with while shower. Normally, it’s the shampoo container.
- Can use shower head and wash his hair like an adult.

Communication (can understand some words that we say):
- Kiss kiss: will open his mouth
- Barney: will stop crying immediately
- Give: he will give you things that he’s holding
- No: give you a blank face and sometimes blink and smile. (can consider understand ar?)
- Come: will crawl towards us
- Put inside: will put the stack rings properly & put things inside the box

Dexterity
- Able to stand unsupported for a few seconds, still lazy to walk.
- Play toys more appropriately e.g. stack rings, shape sorter (with some helps).
- Blink his eyes playfully.

I'm amazed that he's taking showers like an adult! Woww! How'd you do that? Did you try one day and he simply got used to it...? Everybody keeps telling me to wait till Gib can fully stand up. How?
By the way, he is reallyyyy getting cuter and cuter!!! 72cm is perfect for Asian!

baby booner,
i don't know exactly how. but i remember started washing his face with my hand (like we wash our face) before shower every time when he was a few months old. when he can sit properly, i use the shower head to wet his body and hair (without too much water dripping down his face) and rinse after shampoo.

on the comments, thanks a lot. you really like babies, don't you :-)
