Jigsaw Pieces of Baby Ding: October 2008

There is still one more month into toddlerhood...my baby is already enjoying his independence around the house...and getting more mischevious....he STILL explores restricted places...he plays with the toilet paper by pulling the whole roll...he will give me a squirky smile and take off...i rem when my KuKu told me about Ben Ben playing with toilet paper i was laughing and saying - sooo cute...! but...when ur the one dealing with dat...yeah its cute but its annoying too...
i was so used to him being on his fours getting around...now that he is walking i realised the house is not "toddler-proof" yet...so there is lotsa work to do here...!

he can express himself better nw...he will bring me a snack he likes and say "mum" "mum"...i know he is not calling me but telling me he wants to "munch" "munch"....how cute...!
now that he is walking better and better...he just cant stay put...! he cant sit in his highchair for longer than 15 mins except in the morning when the tv is playing his favorite show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse...he will clap and sway along to the music...

of coz diaper change is a always a struggle...mummy is running out of things to entertain him while changing...keys, camera, hp, diaper cream, wallet, lotion, box of smarties, coin pouch, spoon, wat ever i can grab...i even resorted to giving him his fav cookie jus to get him out of his dirty cruisers after all the above did not worked...

while we are out, darius now does not enjoy sitting in his stroller...he loves to walk in the crowd of giants...and he is like a VIP, everyone would "open path" for him and watch this little man wobble his way through...he gets ecstatic when he sees himself in the mirrors...and he could entertain himself long enough in the fitting room while mummy try on clothes...he has a mind of his own and wants to walk by himself...so daddy and mummy gets led around the mall by him...

the only problem now is figuring out how to wean him off...coz i tried every type of formula on the shelves and he dun seem to like any...i even added Nesquik to homo milk and he still hates it...well...i know it does not take overnight...so wish me luck...

He weighs 25 lbs 1 oz / 11.35 kgs and is 80 cm tall nw...not much growth from last month...probably due to higher activity level yet no increase in appetite...in fact...he seems less interested in food and seems so busy...he will imitate me cleaning the floor...and when he sees me keeping his toys in the box...he would get them out again and laughing happily...so young and making fun of mummy already...
