15 months milestones

my dear boy has added a few more words to his vocabulary.

"a yi" - "aunt" in mandarin;
"duo xie" - "thanks" in cantonese;
"bye bye" - that's the same in all three languages, mandarin, cantonese and english.

and he's now growing his 9th teeth.

5 teeth and others

in the past months, alan has learnt to do the following:

• point at people and things with his index finger;
• ask you to pay attention to him or pick up things for him with his index finger and making the "ah, ah, er, er" sound;
• scream when he doesn't get what he wants, especially at his dad and parental grandma;
• pretend to poo - sometimes he tries so hard to make it look real that a drop of poo would be squeezed out;
• cover his face with a blanket to play hide and seek.

and right now he's growing his fifth teeth.

this afternoon, we're going to our 2nd early education class.  and we're getting a vaccination and our monthly health check, too.  alan didn't cry, didn't even blink his eyes during last vaccination, let's see if he can keep it up.

three teeth

grandpa and alan are spending some quality time together this weekend.

actually, great-grandpa just called today, and i told him that alan now has 3 teeth.  great-grandpa was very surprised!  three teeth in one and a half month?  wow,  how fast the teeth pop out!  he said.

well, yes.  alan's first teeth was the front left one on the lower gum, followed by the one on the right.  his third tooth is just starting to come out now.  it's the left front one on the upper gum.

first teeth

yesterday morning, 24 september 2010, alan's first teeth popped out!

he pulled my finger into his mouth to chew as usual, and yesterday, i felt something different, something sharp!

i'm still breastfeeding him, so i hope he doesn't bite...
