However, I do not know why you refuse to feed yourself dinner. You will vigourously shake your head when I ask you to 'put your mum-mum into your mouth' during dinner time as you much rather use the spoon to play with the food. It is entirely different when it comes to your favourite yogurt as you can self feed the whole tub yourself. HHmmm.. are you lazy as you know I will feed you?

Self feeding
You have actually become quite good at aiming food into your mouth with a spoon or fork.

My little eskimo
This is how you dress for nursery everyday. Of course your inside shirts get changed :)
Bout of exercise in winter
A friend mentioned tiring you out by 'letting you loose' in the malls. Coincidentally, that was exactly what I did on Sunday. I went to Costco (hypermarket) with some church friends for lunch and to get some essentials in bulk (yes, like your nappies). I let you out from your pram and you 'ran' up and down the aisle with glee.
Washing hands
I've been trying to teach you to wash your hands after a meal. As am writing this, just thought maybe I should be teaching you to wash hands before meals too :) As expected, you LOVED the water. So much so that if I accidentally leave the stool in front of the basin, you'll be on it when I'm not looking, hoping to 'play water' again, but thankfully you still can't reach the taps.For the sake of recording your 'growing up', you are refusing to brush your teeth over the past few days. Maybe it's the teething process??

New food
I tried cooking dinner for all and it worked. You ate the rice with soup (ABC soup so had all the ingredients you were familiar with) and seemed to really enjoy it.
In another meal, you also amazed us by managing to choose the roast potato over the scampi from your high chair. You kept shaking your head when we passed you the scampi. Both the scampi and potato looked similar to us :)

Winter is here
It was -5 degrees this morning when we left the house for church, and it is still only the month of November. Unfortunately there was still no snow. So, no snowman yet, Isaac :) But, you had to wear 4 layers before leaving the house! This is the first time I wrapped you up so well. I think if you fell, you would have bounced from the amount of padding.
The wintery weather also meant staying at home the whole weekend. Thus, you were more restless than usual, and it did not help that your dada was on call. I had to keep thinking of ways to entertain you and it was both mentally and physically tiring. All full time moms out there - how do you do it???
Thank God I had bought some 'playdoh' after a recommendation by a friend. You were amused by how 'strips' came out with you pressing down and we played for about an hour. You also loved digging your fingers into the playdoh, so washing your nails was 'fun'. We may have to introduce a new activity every weekend if the weather doesn't change.

Developmental update
You finally started teething again!!! I can just see the tips of both the lower and upper right lateral incisors shining through :)
A friend mentioned I should be noting down words you can say or understand. So, here goes:
Words said:
- Dada, Dede, Baba (unfortunately nothing comprehensive and certainly NOT even mama :( )
Words/commands/songs understood and responds with action to:
- NO (like all kids, one of the first few words understood and now replies 'no' by vigourously shaking your head)
- Mama
- Come here
- Sit down
- Light
- Mummm-mummm (food)
- Milk
- Yoghurt
- Pao pao (after a meal)
- Bye-bye
- Flying kiss
- Kiss
- Hug
- Clap hands
- Shake head
- Head
- Nose
- Brush teeth
- Wash hands
- Bathing time
- Shoes
- Socks
- Jacket
- Trousers
- Book
- TV (this is really bad I suppose ;) your favourite is 'in the night garden')
- Row row row your boat
- Twinkle, twinkle little star
- The wheels on the bus
- This is the way the lady rides
(and hopefully the list grows)
You still have quite a short attention span and will not sit still for me to read to you, except before bed. You LOVE hammering, knocking blocks over and putting things in and out of a container, thus tidying your toys when I ask you to. You can also build a block of 3 and is learning to pull a 'pulling toy'. It's quite amusing as you don't really understand the concept yet and keep lifting the whole toy up. As always, you love music and always dance and move to it.
Well, am sure the words will come when you're ready :) I just thank God everyday for your laughter, and the smiles that you put on our faces everyday over the past 14 months.
