14 Month

Nowaday Javan is walking steadily with real fast speed. That's why we have been watching and following him most of the time (Including Nanny). We have heard so much about kids falling and cutting their gums/teeth.. so we decided that we would not take any chance, well..at least for now that he has just started walking. On the other hand, I (or we) has been wondering if we are overly protective..??!! As the older generation that has the saying that "kids need to fall to growup.." Anyway our house has not been baby proof yet. So we are not ready to letting him run round the house on his own yet.

Javan's favourite spot would be the kitchen and toilet. Ha ha..both place coz he likes to step on the rug as the rugs have different texture. Next he will walk to the DVD area where he would imitate us when we pressed on the buttons to play the songs.

Talked about song, I used to ask him "Do you want to listen to songs-(in mandarin)" for 2 days, both morning and evening when he reached home and he will nod his head. After that, every morning and evening, before i asked him he looked at me and nod his head, he is telling me that he wants to listen to songs. And whenever i walked to the player, he will followed, just that he is inside the play yard. When i eject the CD compartment, Javan giggle/laugh. Movement seems to fasinate him so much.

Javan also likes to imitate us opening the gate of the play yard. He will pretend to cry or ask to be carried. Then he will make his way out of the play yard. Guess what...he will stand at the gate and look and hand on the latch as if opening the gate on his own. Then he started to make sounds to tell us to open the play yard. I will tell him "Open", now whenever i say "open" he will look at the gate.

Javan is able to understand most of the command/names that we taught him. whenever i asked him, where is bear. He will flip his story book and hit his hand on the page of the bear. Javan doesnt point, he uses his palm and hit on the exact page. He loves to flip books, especially those board books. On the other hand, he will step on the books that are placed in the play yard, causing most of the board books to get crumpled. Little destroyer?!!

Whenever he is in the study room, he will open the door of the books shelves and take out 1 book and put on the floor. Then he will closed the door. I was so surprise when i first saw him doing that. We did not teach him and i remember doing that only once and he learnt it!

Javan still has cannot eat on his own. Hopefully he will be able to train him on that. We hope that he can join us on the dinning table (eat with us but having his own food), we know it will be a mess but still hope to try out. ;-)

Potty Trained-We have not trained him, hopefully as what the recommanded age tells, 18 months would be the most appropriate.

So much so much to tell..this age toddler really learn so much on their own. Especially imitating at us adults.
