Backdated post. Milestones of prince at 1 year old….
♦ teeth - still remain at 8
♦ walking - our darling prince started walking 2 days before his 1st bday!
he has been practicing very hard, but so far only manages to take 1-2 steps on his own before falling down. but 2 days before his 1st bday, he could manage at least 5 steps or more on his own!
so proud of him…
♦ speech - words that he can say up-to-date : clock, bible, mum mum, elmo, cold, water, flower, apple, cross, tiger, ah ma, mama, ah pa (he likes to add “ah” in front of most words), papa, ah cheh, cheh cheh, school, walk, ball, give, no, car, bird, thank you, throw, beat, kick, dog, cat, ah mote (referring to remote as in remote control), nen nen, milk, amen, good, nose, toes, ‘ney’ (referring to Barney), ‘ouse’ (referring to Mickey Mouse)
When i ’scold’ him, he’ll imitate me and pout his mouth.
When my mom ’scolds’ him, he’ll pout his mouth and look away
He’s able to suck from straw…. i remember rachel only learnt how to drink water using a straw when she was 1 plus…
When u ask him to clap hands, he’ll clap his hands with a big grin on his face. When you say “clever boy”, he’ll immediately clap his hands and give you a cheeky smile…
When he’s eating something and you ask him, “Samuel, is this good?” and he’ll show you the “good sign” using his thumb & Mr Pointer (finger) and say “good”!
When you ask him “samuel, where’s your nose?” he’ll point to his nose (although most of the time his finger ends up inside his nose! hahahaha)
Inside the playpen, he loves to pick up the balls and throw them out of the playpen! he’ll say “throw”!
he has learnt how to climb up his cot (his cheh cheh never learnt to do that…. boys really samseng la….)
♦ food intake – we’ve stopped blending his porridge…. we’ve introduced fish to him. oats, fruits, etc..
♦ sleeping pattern – lately he’s been sleeping through the night but there are still nights whereby he will wake up at least once. sometimes it’s to drink milk, sometimes he just wants to be carried!
i’m curious to find out his current height and weight. tomorrow i’m bringing him for his 1-year jab, so i’ll be able to know then.
