It’s about time I write down Justin’s developemental milestone before I forgot. Anyway, I like him to read about this himself someday.

Physical Development:
Height: More than 80 cm (Can’t measure as he won’t stand still!)
Weight: About 11 kg (not much gained)
Teeth: He has a few teeth coming out together, I think he has 12 teeth now.

1. Run and run and run!
2. Jump, but not too high.
3. Kick a ball.
4. Trying to walk up or down a step without support.
5. No more bowel accident for a few months as he knows how to say “mmm mmm”, but only says “pee pee” when he’s started peeing, so still not potty trained.

Likes:
1. Adores Isabelle and kisses her a lot. Sometimes, he’ll smack her after a kiss, and I don’t know why. But that seldom happens already.
2. He loves Barney. I let him watch Barney twice a day, and he remembers most of the songs from the clips. Now, I’m a walking-Barney’s-songs Jukebox who sings whatever songs he asks for. If I can’t remember the lyrics, I’ll hum the tune.
3. He likes books, and he’ll always ask hubby and I to read to him during bedtime, or my pumping session. His favourite books are Peter and Jane series (still) and “Lizard” as he’s seen a big monitor lizard in my house days ago.
4. He likes to play with his toy stetoscope and pretends that his Barney is a patient.
5. My dad gave him a small torch light and he loves playing with it. He shines the torch light into Barney’s mouth to check his teeth!
6. Loves to dance, doing yoga moves, and go kai kai!
7. He has to have his bolster in the car and when he’s sleeping.
8. Still sucking his thumb to sleep.
9. Loves to do funny acts and if we laugh, he’ll keep on repeating it.

Hates:
1. Doesn’t like to share things with Li Wei, and prefers to play with Xin Yi.
2. Afraid to see his paed, and will cry when we’re at his clinic. He seldom gets sick but he recognises the paed.

Memory:
1. He remembers most of the places he’s seen or been before.
2. He knows which Barney vcds have his favourite songs; which books have his favourite objects; and knows his way to the toy section or rides when we’re out!
3. Recognise red colour, but not sure if he knows the rest of the colours as he only says “red”.
4. Only count 1 - 3 at the moment

Language:
1. I’ve lost count of the words he knows, but he’s trying to form phrase and sentence. But most of the time, I can’t hear what he’s trying to say, and he’ll act it out.
2. I’m trying to teach him to speak in Mandarin, but he still prefers to use English, even if he understands Mandarin well.

Feeding:
1. Sometimes, he eats by himself either with a spoon or hands. He’s getting better at spoon-feeding himself even if he still makes a mess.
2. Challenging in feeding him as he’ll run around or split out the food.
3. Takes most of the food prepared. If he doesn’t want to eat, I’ll have to add some raisins to the meals.
4. Loves fruits, and knows how to differentiate most fruits he’s tried.

I know I must have missed somethings that he knows how to do. Whenever I see him does something new, I told myself I have to write it down, but when I’m blogging, I can’t remember. Gee…
