Keeping up with the stats

I haven't been diligently with keeping up with all his stats, such as when he started lifting his head, or rollover or crawling or which tooth started growing when etc. I know I should have been more detailed in all these little stuff. After all, you only grow up once right?

I shall start doing it more diligently by keeping up with the stats here, right here right now. Never too late right?

Let's see what little Andrew can do so far:
- "Bye"
- "Clap"
- "Flying kiss" though a bit cacat with one finger sticking into the mouth
- "Open" "Close"
- "There"
- "Give mummy" though not working all the time
- 90% of the time poo in the potty, 1% of time poo in your back, 9% of the time poo in your diaper
- Hold your own milk bottle (since 8mo)
- Drink from sippy cup most of the time but learning to drink from a "cup"
- Expert in standing in the shower and not much of other places, well perhaps on the bed from time to time
- Pinch even the smallest piece of food into your mouth
- Feed yourself with the fork, though the fingers are your preferred choice
- Getting the hang of putting objects/shapes into the hole- though u just bang them into the hole (the shape box & the bus), putting back the rings into the holder (on your learning table)

Likes/dislikes
- Prefer rice or chunkier food than purée/porridge (since 9/10mo)
- LOVE your fruits, except avocado
- LOVE bath/shower
- Not liking washing your hair and neck
- Likes swimming though takes a while to warm up when without the thermal wear or when we swim in the condo freezing pool water
- Can't live without the pacifier
- Not liking wiping your face with wet wipes after meal
- LOVES Sesame Street songs (Elmo is your favourite), Brave, Puss in Boots (short film), Kungfu Panda 2, and lately Hop (i suspect it's because EB plays a drum)
- Doesn't want anything put on your head!
- Cannot take heat, like since birth!
- Will not sit on the potty if it's not time to go
- Cannot stand it when your romper/pants is wet (when diaper leaks or overflows)
- Cannot stay still for diaper change!
- Doesn't like it if I say "no" or take things away from your hand (which in the first place you should not be playing with)
- Likes and happy to FaceTime with 外公, 外婆, 姨姨, 姨丈! And occasionally with mummy and daddy!


And we still co-sleep! Operation returning to the cot go halted when little Andrew caught the flu bug. I am quietly enjoying sleeping next to the baby, even though most of the time I lose sleep because of space constraint! (Perhaps an excuse to get a bigger bed)

And your nap/sleep time varies but standard will be waking up around 8-9am, milk, shower, 10am nap, playtime, 12pm lunch, 1-2pm nap, 4pm milk/snack, playtime, 7pm dinner, shower, sleeps by 9-9.30pm. And if you have only one nap during the day, you will cranky by 8pm.

Life is never the same with a baby and I'm enjoying it with a grateful heart.
