22 months

Reese turned 22 months 3 days ago. So this is a delayed post. So what is new in his milestones? mmm... in most area it's about the same except in speech, physical and vocab and counting.

Still a fussy eater but I have my mom to make him his favourite noodle soup and fried noddles. Usually I only have time to prepare one main meal for Reese as I have to work. So lately my mom is preparing his other meals whenever I am not around. Oh.. he doesn't seems to like meat (except KFC chicken) or vegetables. He will usually only take the noodles and eggs in his soup. The only time he gets vege and some form of meat his from his mushroom soup(carrots, brocoli and potatoes blended and fish and mushroom)!

Whenever I am not around him for a long period of time (5 to 6 hours)... according to my dad he will look for me and cry but can be easily distracted most of the time. Hehe hehe...

He is able to feed himself with hand, fork and even drink from a cup on his own without spilling! Has been letting him eat more on his own...seems to work... :)

He is making longer phases and now can say up to 5 syllabus in his phases.
Example : 'Apple fall down ground', 'Play hike and seek', 'Find shield and sword'
When I sing to him... instead of finishing my line with only one word..now he will finish the line with two words.

He continues to amaze us with his numbers. He can recognize numbers up to 29 missing a few 20 something :). Sometimes instead of saying '20' he will say twenty zero!! He can also count but missing a number or two. From our observation... when he see two things... he will automatically say two (thing) like 'two ball' or 'two house' and his vocabulary... mmm.. always learning new words and it's hard to keep up... oh..his favourite word is NO.

He doesn't like building blocks but instead he likes dismantling whatever we built even with puzzles... He enjoys it. He can imitate frog jumping(since more than 1 month), he can march, he can jump really well, he can even jump down a step!(since yesterday). Previously he can only walk up the steps on his own..now he can also walk down the steps on his own.

Temper wise... definitely throwing more tantrums. Learned to shout and shriek in his cry too. Thank God it's short usually for less than 1.5 minutes. He can still be easily distracted. He still has phobia against very loud noise made by a big crowd of people. Be it clapping or laughing. He is cheeky and playful. Always full of energy. He used to take about 1 hour naps but now.. he takes at least 1.5 hours to 2 hours and sometimes...2.5 hours. Still sleeps around 9pm and wakes up around 7.30am.

Reese loves water...well..most kids do eh? Anyway.. I allow him to play water whether in the pool or just in the bathroom whenever possible. Some improvement in the wading pool. He will roam freely on his own in the pool without a float...also refuse to let me hold him. He loves playing hike and seek.

He is around 14 kgs and height unknown. Definitely lost some weight over the month. Still has a little tummy. :)
