Baby G Turns 21 Months Today

 Where has my littlest boy gone? 

The chubby cheeks, arms and legs, the be-dimpled smile, the kissable lips, the adorable eyes... I could go on and on and on like a mad mama who can never get enough of her child's cuteness.

The happy "little guy" as baptised by his jie jie grew before my very eyes everyday but I still wonder, how could time fly too fast? In just 3 months time, my baby will turn 2 years old officially.

Yes, I said officially because baby G is actually quite big for his size that he was often mistaken older than his actual age. He is very fascinated with numbers that at 20 months, he can already count 1 to 10. 

Here's how he says it:

1 - wan

2 - too

3 - chree

4 - fo

5 - fay

6 - siks

7 - seven

8 - eyt

9 - nayn

10 - ten

His vocabulary has improved a lot in the past few months. He can now identify a lot of things from his picture dictionary and he can now identify 90% of the letters from the alphabet.

Here's how he identify the alphabet:

A - ey

B - bee

C - see

D - dee

E 

F - ef

G - gogogogo

H 

I - wan (as in number 1)

J 

K 

L - wan (as in number 1)

M - em

N - nononono

O - O

P - pee

Q 

R - ar

S - ess

T - tee

U - you

V - vee

W - boboyu

X - eks

Y - yoyoyo

Z - zee

His favourite expressions are:
wooooooow (when he see's something nice)
nonononono (when he doesn't like what you ask him to do)
oh no! (when he or somebody drops something)
roarrrrrrrr (when he sees a dinosaur)
awwts (when he tries to hit somebody with his hand, he's will say ouch for the person LOL)

Here's how he identifies transportations:
car - ka
bus - a-basss
train - teyn
bicycle - aysikel

Here's how he identifies fruits:
apple - appu
banana - nana
orange - oyeins
pineapple - ap appu
strawberry - beyi

Here's how he identifies animals:
cow - mooo
sheep - baaaaa
dog - doh
cat - meow kat
gorilla - gogogogo
zebra - zeeba

At a very young age, he has learned the art of multi-tasking. Look how he tries to flip a book, play with his car and watch Disney Junior at the same time. LOL

His love for books didn't stop from just reading flipping them. He also uses them as a track for his cars and/or for himself. He normally lines them up, get his cars and guide his cars run through the books. Without the cars, he'll step on them one by one whilst counting 1 to 10. How's adorable!

He gets bored with his toys quite easily. He will only cling to his favourite toy for a day or two and totally ignore it after. Good things almost all his toys are bought from a goodwill store. 

He still hates toothbrushing so I normally leave the toothbrush for him to play in his mouth to get used to it. Look how he was hanging by the bed while playing with his toothbrush. Too cute for words.

Baby G is now on the stage of "let-me-go-by-myself" and "let-me-do-my-thing". When we do grocery, he checks out the grocery aisle and picks up whatever he fancies and shoot inside the trolley. Hubby, K and I were laughing because he "shops" like there's no tomorrow. LOL

My favourite bonding activity with baby G is walking in the park. He would let me hold his hand in the first 5 minutes then let it go eventually so that he could walk/run faster than me. I almost couldn't keep up with his stamina. LOL

PS.

My precious G, please don't grow up too fast otherwise Dada and jie jie will start bugging Mama to "make" another baby. Haha. Seriously, let mama savour the rest of your babyhood. Mama still enjoys how you kiss her like there's no other woman in your world. I love you, my baby boyie. We all love you so dearly. Thank you for bringing so much joy and profound happiness in our lives. Happy 21st month!
