I love this series of photos of B. It was at Kranji War Memorial and his first time running down a grassy slope. He was chuckling so hard, his laughter was silent. Even K couldn't stop looking at him while they ran down the slope together.
The initial plan was for B to start school in Jan. But I decided to push that till July. I don't think he is quite ready. I remember K could feed herself somewhat even though it was slow. Messy is a given. But still, she was able to. B plays with his cutlery mostly and throws food. Only last night he was able to eat his meal of macaroni by himself. K was also able to speak more than B can now.
B's molars emerged at 17 months. All four are out now. His top two canines are also peeking out. Bottom ones not yet.

Sweet baby. You are such a cheeky monkey. You have this slide ways glance which amuses me to no end. Am sure it won't be a very friendly gesture when you are older. You certainly know how to defend yourself from your big sis. To get your way, you would tug at her clothes and hair. But you are learning to say "pease" without us reminding you.
But you love your sis and love playing with her. Throughout the day while you are with me, you would say, "Che Che". And I would reply that she is at school. You would then say, "Papa". And I would reply that he is at work. You would then be very pleased with yourself like you managed to get me to say what you wanted to hear. When we go pick your sis up, you would try to run and shout, "Che che!"
You love fruits. And when at your grandparents' place for dinner, when you are done with your meal, you would call out to Elvie for fruits. This never fails to bring a smile to your grandparents.
Just like your sister, you love dancing. When you hear a beat, your little body would start moving, sometimes with hand gestures too. You have learnt some new songs this Christmas. You sing along to Mary's Boy Child and Jungle Bells. When you hear Rudolph, you start to tap on your nose. You think every song should end with a "Hey!"
You got to sit on a swing the other day which you enjoyed very much. You are also able to go down a slide on your own now and you really enjoy it.
Every day with you is such a warm cuddly time. We love cuddling you. More than you do I think. When you sit on our bed to watch TV, you would put your head on our tummys and that just warms our heart. We love you baby. Every milestone of yours, every first, is such a thrill.
