After reading Zara’s mama’s, Jazzmint’s, and Jefference’s blogs about their little darlings’ development, I’m also gatal to write a thorough report on Justin’s milestone. I copy the format from Jazzmint (don’t mind ya?)
Here it goes:

14 months old

Physical growth

weighs: 10.0kg (weighted at 13 months old)
height: 80cm (before Chinese New Year)
teeth: 4 top, 4 bottom

Eating habit

Early morning feed (6 - 7am): 7 - 8oz of milk
breakfast: cereal / bread / biscuits / noodles, depends on what we’re having
lunch: rice with veges, fish, chicken; pasta with soup; porride with dishes
before afternoon nap (2-3pm): 7 - 8oz of milk
evening break (5-6pm): an apple / kiwi; some jackfruit / papaya / any fruits
dinner (6.30 - 7pm): rice with veges, fish, chicken; pasta with soup; porride with dishes
bedtime (9.30pm): 7 - 8oz of milk
midnight (depends on whether he’s waking up or not): 7 - 8oz of milk

He’s good at chewing and splitting out food he doesn’t fancy now. So, I have to “trick” him with raisins mixed with his food sometimes in order for him to finish his meal. BTW, he’s very sensitive to citrus fruits, if taken too much, he’ll have swollen face.


Social development

1. Only smiles and being carried by people he knows. He won’t take any food or toy offerred by strangers or people he doesn’t trust.
2. During a conversation, if the adults are laughing, he’ll pretend a laugh too, like he knows what we’re talking about.
3. Prefers to be carried by ladies, comparing to gentlemen.
4. Only be friendly to babies, toddlers, and kids he’s familiar with. If there’s a new kid in the house who’s playing with his stuffs, he’ll crawl to his obsession, grab it, and pull the poor fella’s hair or ears. Not a friendly host though… :( But once the terrifying kid being a regular visitor, he’ll be friendly with him.
5. Still stick to mommy most of the time, but is getting better being with other family members and kakak.

Speech development

ma: mommy
papa: daddy
popo: grandy
gongon: grandfather
kakak: maid
pek pek: hubby’s brother
unker: uncle
girl girl: dog next door
woof woof / dog: any dogs
ci en: chicken
ferrr: fish ( can’t pronounce “s”)
ummm: food / feed me
mmmm: going to poo
apple: this sounds very accurate
baba: banana
bike: motorcycle
bok: books, have to read to him every time he sleeps now
bear bear: teddy bear
cheh cheh: Xin Yi
Koh Koh: Li Wei
gof cup: golf club, his favourite toy
ball: for balls, balloons, anything round
ken ken: lattern, saw a lot during chinese new year
pak pak: scare, sometimes only pats his chest showing that he’s scare
er er (while patting his head): he’s in pain, but doens’t show which part, mommy has to find out
aughhhh: tiger / lion / elephant
ar: stars
bat: hitting golf balls, or making a swing
cho cho: his bolster, can’t sleep without it

He understands both Chinese and English when we talk to him, and still learning to pick up new words.

Physical development

1. Still prefers to crawl and cruise around. Yesterday, he unconsciously made 2 walking steps and sat down again
2. Likes to crawls upstairs
3. Climbs on anything he can reach, so have to be watchful
4. Can make a mini golf swing with his toy golf club (daddy’s been showing him how to)
5. Likes to scrabble with baby pencils on the paper (I don’t let him use normal pencils)
6. Knows how to keep his toys in the box, if we help him
7. Trying to spoon feed himself
8. Drinks from a cup
9. Still thumb sucking when he sleeps
10. Tries to dance and sing
11. Waves bye bye
12. Frowns when he’s unhappy, in pain, sees a stranger, etc
13. Points to places he wants to go, or at things he wants
14. Beginning to like books, and I have to repeat the same books over and over again during nap and bedtime. Dunno will spoil his eyes or not.
15. Will point to his tummy when he wants to pee, or most of the time we’re too late at attending to him, and he has wet his pants

  1. Aaah.. toilet trained already? That’s wonderful..

    And he’s bilingual!! I have always wanted to speak to Zara in Mandarin.. but it’s so hard to start.

    And all the golf influence he got from your hubby!! haha.

    Btw Zara also shows social development (2). We call it the politicial laugh. :P

  2. Zara’s mama, not really trained, but MIL doesn’t want him to be on diapers all the time, and he’s not on nappy anymore. So, he begins to show signs when he needs to go. But always too late lah.
    Yaloh, hubby keeps teaching him golf, both of them so addicted!
