Caleb's update

Caleb is to be 2 years old in 2 months time! Can you believe that? Time flies so fast..I thought I just ordered his 1st bday cake and now I'm gonna have to think another cake's theme for his 2nd!

Here's some updates on his development:

He naps once a day most of the time.
He is now able to nap for 2.5 hours which is good!
His bedtime is around 8-9PM. He still asks for night feeding although we have 3 times sleeping through the whole night..So I'm looking forward to more and more success. There was  a period when he asked for 2x of milk bottles, I guess he was having growth spurt.


He eats bread for breakfast.
He eats lunch and dinner quite a lot actually but his menu is limited. He is still quite picky and reluctant to try new menu.


Language development:
He has abundant vocabs now..I really lose counting of how many words he can speak and understand now.
He can also form 3 words sentence. For example:
Mommy go work
Daddy wear shoes
Itchy go away

He can also indicate what he wants: I want this or that...
He understands all instruction given to him.


Other development:
He is learning to wear his own shoes and slippers. He has many success wearing his own crocs slippers.
He can open a bottle's cap and love to play with it..twisting, turning etc
He still cleans up his toys after playing
He knows what a will power now, and knows the meaning of refusing by saying "don't want"
He has his own preference of what shoes or clothes to wear
He is still friendly and funny. we still get many compliments from neighbors, friends, and even strangers in street of how cute and smart he is.
His brain is an amazing recorder. He'll immitate what he sees. Promise him something, he'll remind you of what you have said.
He developes dislikes in insects such as butterfly, lizard, cockroach, etc but his expression doesnt look scared at all. he sometimes will just say "hiiii...mommy!! lizard!!!" and will come running to me n hug me but he still has this wide smile on his face lol :D
He has completed his alphabet learning from A-Z and numbers 1-10 by 20 months old. This is a very good achievement for both if us. we still study this everyday to make sure he doesn't forget. Now besides numbers and abc, I am teaching him to say his own name, mommy's and daddy's name, practicing to say and knows when to say 'sorry', 'excuse me', 'please'. He has good improvement. I'm proud.
He certainly loves MUSIC. His first love is drum, now he begins to like guitar and keyboard as well.
He dances when he hears music (or beat or drum beat :D)

7.30 or 8AM: wake up - breakfast (mostly are bread) - to the park
