Happy April Fool + My nephew in 20mo



Since we started working, April Fool doesn't mean much to us. We never play tricks on others, and moreover, our work isn't a good place to play with.

But then, we still had a trick, just the 'victim' is not one of us, but one of our users. She got an SMS, saying that some opptys have been deleted from the system. She was so shocked and asked us about it. The thing is, we never knew such information, if it does, we have to be the first one to know. And later, she replied back, it was a trick from her colleague, the news was a prank. It was such a funny news to us, luckily we didn't escalate it to our support team, otherwise it won't just a joke anymore.



Every first day of a month marks another milestone of our little fella, and on this April fool day, he is 20 months old now.

My little nephew, still unable to speak, but has learnt some actions like "bye bye", "no more", and pointing directions (with hand, not finger). He's quite a slow learner for some aspects, but he's a smart boy definitely. We are not worried, as soon as he's willing to learn, he can do it well.

He likes to eat rice now, but plain rice only. He used to liked bread, but not now. He still likes carrots, but can't eat much. His main food is still milk, 160ml~180ml per feeding, 7 to 8 times per day, with rice cereal sometimes. But since he's starting to eat rice now (and likes to eat by himself too, he refuses to be feeded), gradually he'll accept solid food.

He walks quite well, after 2, 3 months practice. When we take him to the shopping mall, he prefer to walk by himself, and even pushes the trolley -- of course in a slow pace. There's not much spaces for him to 'run' in our house, so when he goes to some wider place like shopping mall or children playground, he's like just released, and running around happily. But we have to chase after him too.

As a premie, his growth development is quite well. His last body checkup shows that he's now almost same as a normal baby. But still, it doesn't mean that we can be more relief, we still need to take 100% attention on him because he's very active and naughty, taking care a baby like him really is not an easy job.
