I was down with flu on 15 June and the condition became worse on 18th as the Mr. Cough bug came to me… sigh. Therefore, I was fetched by mummy & Nai Nai to see Pd again on last Friday. Yup, daddy was out of town over the weekend for 3 days lor.

Well, nothing very serious. Just that I have lots of phlegm and nose blocked badly. However, the bad news is…. I need to take these colorful syrups! From two to 4 types!

I don’t like any of them… yucks! I would retreat the moment I saw the adults preparing the medicine. I kept telling them that I don’t want but they still force me to take the medicine… :cry:

Well, let me share a brief update on my 19 months old milestones…

Vital Statistics as of 23 June 2009:

Weight:

Pretty sure reduced a little already… coz I’m sick!

Height:

Didn’t measure :P

Teeth:

Two upper cuspids on the left and right have erupted about 1 week ago…hehe.

*Photos taken last month. No latest photos available :( *

Therefore, I drool a lot nowadays… till my shirt wet :P

Also, teething has made me couldn’t help but to bite on things due to the gum itchiness… I like to put in my fingers into my mouth to the gum soothe it.

See, what mummy gave me to bite on? My old teething toys! :grin: I look funny isn’t it?? It’s not suitable for my age already, huh??

Feeding:

Still having mummy’s milk for mid night/early morning feeding besides the formula. Also, don’t quite like to eat porridge nowadays. But I do like noodles! :grin:

Food introduced:

  1. Chocolate! Yum-yum!
  2. Grapes – ok, quite like it.
  3. Green apples – sour!! :P
  4. Prawn crackers… yes, yes!

Sleeping Style:

No soother from mummy to soothe me sleep but wanted “yao-yao”, the swinging cradle to rock me to sleep at night. Got hooked with it ever since I caught the flu bug. I felt it’s more comfortable to sleep especially when I’ve got my nose blocked. Thus, I prefer sleeping in my “yao-yao” at night recently.

Motor Skills:

Able to open and close the doors at on my own… and even the safety gate which yeh yeh made… :P Also, love to slot in key into the door knob. Trying to get the right key to unlock the doors. :grin:

Asking people to sit on the floor so that I could take over their seat… hehe!

Afraid of darkness a little lately. Requested mummy to on the lights every time she switches it off… perhaps to extend my play time :P

Alphabets mastered so far… L to P where by L for light, M for mummy, N for nuts, O for orange and P for Pen.

Able to kneel down and bow to perform prayers.

Attempted to wear my pants, socks, shoes & slipper on my own. I’m working hard to achieve my goal as I’m sure I’ll master the skill one fine day! ;)

Scared of the word “cane”. I’ll most likely will behave when mummy asked “Do you want cane?” But sometimes, the cane method doesn’t work at all… :P

Prefer to walk/run about in the mall rather than sitting on the shopping cart or my stroller.

Climbing up and down the stairs unaided.

Able to identify & say out silver color.

Like to hold on other people’s finger to point at things (like alphabets/pictures printed on books/pamphlet/newspapers) and say it out… hehe, to teach them. :)

Fussed to get hold of mummy’s digicam… :P

Love to play with mummy’s camera…I’ll always try to snatch the camera from mummy to view what mummy has captured and also like to see myself in the camera too… :)

Communication/Social skills:

Well, I’m now a good friend to a parrot so I’m able to say/speak simple sentence such as…
