etha*n is 14mths old

enough with the sad stuff.

my only son is now already 14mths old. hes an expert at walking now. but hes still got to master steps. the major thing at the moment is talking. hes learning to talk apart from mama, dada and ahhh. he tried saying car (which came out as daa) and duck (which also came out as daa).

hes favorite past-time? the phone. he pretends to be on the phone with whatever he has on hand. it could be his hand, yes, his palm. he places his hand over his ear and pretends to be talking. sometimes when he does have an actual phone in hand, he walks around, pretends to be dialing numbers and then puts it to his ear and walks around talking. macam boss!!

a pacifier is also a phone. a chinese spoon can also be a phone in his world. even his milk bottle. at first, i used to tell him "no baby, thats not a phone. thats a yada yada." but now its come to "ok baby. yes, a pacifier can also be a phone. you've got good imagination." ya lah. tengok james bond movies. the weirdest things can double up as something else right. who knows, etha*n might one day be an inventor/innovator! :D

makan-wise, well, he doesnt seem to like fish. but i'm trying to sneak it into his mouth. not very sabahan, is he? at least not in his porridge. kalau goreng-goreng yang we makan with rice, he'll eat. he doesnt seem to like anything with a hint of sour in it either. so not ME ok. but i'm making the sitter feed him sour stuff like yogurt, apples just so that he'll acquire a tolerance for it. i'm just worried that he wont want to take medication which is usually sour-ish, when necessary. i've also started him on scotts emulsion (the orange one), and he fights me all the time with that. hmm... actually i think i've already mentioned that in an earlier entry right?

christmas is coming. time flies so fast that before we know it, it'll be 2010. ok ya, i know raya pun tak sampai lagi. but this is it for me: every year when raya comes, i start thinking and planning for christmas already. well, usually its the budgeting that i have to do early. and i SHOULD SHOULD start shopping early. ok so, christmas is coming and i'm trying to figure out what to dress him in. takkan beli satu baju kan? i gotta buy SOME new clothes for him. for mass, for visiting, for jalan-jalan.

i got him a new fisherman's hat and boy, does he love it. he'll give you a smile, the kind of smile that says "i know i'm cute". he'll keep still for awhile so that the hat doesnt fall off but then he'll get annoyed & take it off himself.

he can do puzzles to some extent now. well not jigsaw puzzles. i dont know what you call them. those block shapes that you try to insert in the corresponding hole. he can do some. some, he cant do and then gets into a temper due to frustration. its quite funny to see. such a small thing with showing his frustration. when his father is there, you'll hear him say "it's ok son. be patient." me? i just say "dont be angry!"

:D

i'll upload some pictures later.
