My Nephew in 17 months

It's been quite a while since I last update the growth and development of my little nephew, one of the reason is because I was quite lazy.

OK. For the little fella, he is getting naughty and more active now. He has learnt how to ‘climb’ up to the sofa, to the coffee table, to the chair, etc, so we have to keep an eye on him every single minute so that he won’t hit anything by accident.

Maybe he is using all his effort to learn how to climb, open the gate, walk/climb to the kitchen, throw all the things, remote control the TV, etc… so he’s still not really good in talking or speaking. He can’t really pronounce father, mother, grandma, grandma properly, not even those words that usually a child same age as him is really good at: Mum Mum (Food), Kut Kut (Drink/Water), BaBa (father), Mama (Mother)…… if he’s not calling “Ah Ba” or “Ah Ber” too frequently, we would afraid that he might have some ‘language barrier’.

While all others can walk very well at his age, he’s still prefer to climb around. He can walk at his 15~16 mth, but still not very good in it, still need a lot of practice. However, he’s walking longer distance everyday. Yesterday he walked from living room to the kitchen, without holding anything, although he walked so carefully, at least he walked by himself.

The most we worry about him is his diet, milk is still his main food everyday. He’s not really taking solid food like porridge or rice or vegetables. Sometimes he will eat, but if he eats too much, everything will ‘come out’ from his mouth (maybe stomach) again. Maybe it’s the problem of his digestion system. Anyway, as long as he is growing (not starving), if milk is still enough for him we will just keep it as this. Later on maybe my sis will bring him to the pediatric again for body checking :P.

We are still very tired looking after this little fella, but when you see he’s laughing so happily or respond you with a cute expression or action, then you’ll feel very happy and warm.

p/s: BTW, he also likes to "bite", and my mum, his grandma is the main "target". My mum's shoulder got so many bite mark, it's all because of him...
