Updates - Jan 2010

Wow, I never could commit myself to diaries and journals..

But, as to my efforts of chronicling my little one's development, here goes:

  • Zii is 23 months old, a month shy of his second birthday. He is now taller and stronger, not to mention heavier.
  • He can tell simple stories, form short 3-4 word sentences, and loves to mimic people's habits and antics (like snoring, sneezing, the way someone laughs, etc), and does it well too! He breaks into hysteric laughter if we do something ordinary but abrupt (like sneezing, try to surprise him, almost slipping/falling down).
  • He likes stacking stuff. Not only blocks, also toys, random things like mineral water cups. And he's quite good for a not-quite-two-year-old ;)
  • He LOVES going out, to the mall, or on a walk, it doesn't matter, he just enjoys going out on mini trips
  • Took him for a swim (hisashiburi ni), and I thought he would jump into the water without delay. But he preferred to sit at the edge of the pool with only his foot in the water, splashing, and it took considerable effort to persuade him to take the plunge. but once he got used to the water, he went crazy with excitement! We had to drag him (okay, not drag, but carried away forcefully) out of the pool because his fingertips were already very wrinkly and it got too cold in the pool.
Well, that's about what happened these past couple of weeks. Will be back for more Zii updates.
