Milestones at 24 months

Physically 

More agile, will climb on chairs, sofa (higher end) and even tables. He can also climb ladder. When at the little playground, we don't have to be so watchful knowing that he is steady and won't fall easily. He is very strong. He can give me bruise! 

Going up steps effortlessly. Coming down steps, getting better, he can walk down steps on his own without help. 

Lately likes to skip. It's half run and half skip. Can throw ball up, sideways, down very well. 

Able to pick up things as small as a barley very quickly. Using the spoon more often. Able to somewhat feed himself with a spoon. It has to be sticky stuff like mash potatoes or mayonnaise...  can hold his cup and drink without spilling. 

Emotionally

Mmmm... somewhat stubborn. Always a happy  boy. Now cries more as compared to last time (terrible two). He is a cheeky boy. I would consider him a good nature fellow. Not sensitive (maybe too young?)

Mentally

Memory is fantastic. Maybe I am just poor in that area.. hehe..

Learn things super fast.

Understand us quite well.

Concentration span quite good.

Love to watch TV. Especially Little Einstein, Mickey Mouse Club House, Cinderella, Snow White, Nemo.... we are constantly exposing him with good cartoons....

Verbally

Able to sting words together. He is speaking in sentences too. About 45% of the time and the rest are in phases. Some interesting things that he says:

diamond shoes broken.... broken already... (Cinderella cartoon)

Snow white died (Snow White and Seven Dwarfs)

butterfly inside the box

There it is. 

Where is it?

build tower, play puzzle build car.

His vocabulary is ever expanding. I just couldn't keep track. :)

He show slightly less interest in books because mummy too lazy.... and she has not been teaching him anything actually. One thing thou, when we try to read a story, he will snatch the book away and look for pictures that he is interested in. He is more interested in toys, especially toys that allow him to use his fine motor skills. Like putting something through a hole, spooning, scooping things into bowls or cups.

Food

Still choosy with food but lately, he is more willing to try new taste and actually like sweet drinks like juice. He likes milk chocolate! He likes HK congee, the really watery type. Normal porridge, don't like. He likes soup. He still doesn't really like his food with meat except eating KFC. I realized, he doesn't like to bite so prefer soft food. It's still a headache to get him to have a balance diet. His main food is still very limited but at least he is taking enough protein, carbo and others. His food portion is almost equivalent to an small eater adult. For example, eating noodles, he can take 3/4 of a bowl. Finish to the last drop! KFC, he can at times take 2 drumsticks minus the skin and 1 regular whipped potato or 1 large whipped potato with some chicken. Hokkien mee, he can take two small plates (those green/orange small plates)

Hates medicine. Doesn't take Scott Emulsion anymore. Fruits also choosy. His favourite is banana. He takes pitted prunes too. 

Reese is growing well, he should be around 15kgs now and about 90cm tall. He is big for his age. :) Everyone thinks he is 3 years old.
