Adam @ 17 months

He can make this funny face .He made the face once, I laughed and said, ‘Adam, funny face!”. Days later I say funny face and he automatically made the face. I was surprised he picked it up. Can never underestimate what kids are capable of huh.

He does a fake laugh whenever he feels like it. Sometimes if he sees me and his daddy talking and laughing about something or laugh when watching tv, he does a fake laugh to join in the fun.

He finally kisses me willingly! I knew he understood what ‘kiss’ means but he’ll only do it once in a blue moon. But now whenever he’s feeling loving he’ll kiss all over! Tapi kiss dia weird, bukak mulut luas2 then say ‘AAaaaaa!!!” and smack on leaving your face wet. Kalau suruh salam pulak, dia kiss tgn kite (tapi tak hulur tgn dia)

He gets accidents a lot. Oh my…gives me a heart attack everytime. Lompat sana, panjat sini, guling sana, lari sini. Pastu benjol sana, luka sini. So hard to keep up with him. One time, I let him play with a roll of masking tape, I mean really, how can masking tape hurt you right? And yet and manage to get a little luka on his finger..

He understands most of what we say. Like, ‘makan’, ‘mandi’, ‘put on shoes’ etc. but he hasn’t spoken much yet. Tapi senangla nak communicate with him now.

His vocab includes;
-fish
-shuh = shoe
-nana = banana
-woof = dog
-ak ak = bird cos birds sini tak buat bunyi chip chip, more like ak! Ak!
-dadey = daddy
-mama = mummy
-suss = susu

He loves dogs. Here there are dogs everywhere so asal nampak je dia excited, ckp woof! kat dog tu..i think kalau dpt mesti dia peluk dog tu..

He loves to help me out with housework.

sibuk nak load the washing machine..pastu bila tgh wash sibuk ajak pegi tgk washing machine tu spinning..kadang kalau takde laundry dia amik plastic bags, newspapers, dishtowels bawak masuk dlm washing machine tu..hehehe...

suka sgt dia kalau dpt can main pots and pans. kasi senduk satu lama dia masak sorang2 atas lantai...

suka gak main lap2. kalau tak dpt dishtowel, curik mummy's fabric scraps and use it to wipe the furnitures...lawak betul la Adam..

alahai Adam...i love you so much! happy 17th month birthday!
