Jordan's milestones

Jordan is turning 2 in February next year.

Things that he does now:
Communication
Jordan can tell us his basic needs - milk, eat, poo. He watches the Signing Times and is applying what he learnt to good use. He can be a rather cheeky munchkin. I cannot recall when he started doing it. He started calling us in his special way - it is the intonation. It was so hilarious that Yu Jie starts using the same tone to call us.

Counting
He can count 1- 10, though not all the numbers at one time. He might just start with 4 and continue until he reached 10. He can count along when the sister counts.

ABC
He knows the alphabet song well. Though he is not very clear in his diction, we know what he is singing.

 Milk from a cup

With the influence from Yu Jie, he wants to drink his milk in his cup too! 

*This is only in the presence of the big sister. Other than that, he drinks from the bottle.

Milk moustache! :)


Movement
He can run and is learning to jump. He dances to familiar music and he sings along too. He can recognise the TV advertisements. His current favourite is the NIPPON paint with the sumo wrestler swaying his body.

Jordan is greatly influenced by Yu Jie. He cuddles stuff toys and loves the two Dora plush toys which were originally intended for the elder sister. His sleeping den is filled with pillows and bolsters and plush toys!








He watches his favourite cartoon almost everyday. He chants "Mommy...story..", "Mommy... ... times...". That would be the Baby Signing Times. But he does not watch the whole show. He would walk around and fidget with the DVD cover, trying to remove the cover. If I happen to leave the room for a while, I would have the DVD already kept in the case coz dear little boy has intelligently ejected the disc and placed it safely in the case! You would not believe that just minutes later, he will shove the case to me and ask me to play again.
