I really need to note this down now before I really forget what happen to my boy development at this age. He grows a lot, the way he understand more things and started to recognize more things. He still babbling a lot in his own language, but these day he slowly pick up words that he able to say out. His walking skill is getting better each day, walk in fast and can follow you next to your feet.

Dexterity

• Started to walk with both hand down or rather put at the height at waist line at 18 m.o.
• Walk in fast, no run yet. When fall or sit on the floor, he still crawl to the nearest point to support him to get up.
• Those place with a step up or down, he still our support to help him to go for it, else he will stop there and not dare to go forward.
• Can climb up and down the sofa very well. Intend to go up TV cabinet too, once I shout he quickly stop.
• Likes to go out. Once you hold the keys, he will quickly stand in front of the door and wait. Sometimes sit at the place of where we placed his shoe and wait us to put it on.
• Po-po can hold his hand to walk. But not his daddy and mummy.
• Can walk a bit longer, but once he tired he will show up his both hands wants us to carry.

• Try hard to reach the door knob by pointing up his feet.
• Things he saw us to do few times, he able to do by himself. Like I bring potty to the kitchen every morning. Now after morning feed, when ask to bring, he will bring it out and put in the correct place.
• Taught him to do the hand sign "Gong Xi, Gong Xi" (CNY coming la...), he pick up that in 2 days time.
