Highlight of the day: Eric has been very expressive these days. He knows how to articulate certain words to his favourite songs, and express them in gestures as well. Currently, his favourite song is “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” and he loves to sing it along with Mommy.

Eric also knows how to identify things such as his favourite Teddy Dog, his push-car, Mommy’s mobile phone, and so on. He likes to imitate whatever Daddy does in the morning, such as brushing his teeth, combing his hair, and wearing his shoes before he leaves for daycare.

It’s easier now for Eric to let Mommy know if he’s hungry or thirsty. Instead of crying, he now often drags Mommy to the kitchen and points to the cookie jar or some other goodies he would like to munch on. Eric is becoming a happier boy now that he can express what he needs.

Highlight of the day: Yesterday, Eric made a major breakthrough. While Mommy was packing his bag for a day trip to Grandma’s in Tuaran, Eric was toying around with Mommy’s mobile phone, pretending he was on the phone. When we were ready to leave, Mommy asked Eric, “Where is Mommy’s phone?” As if he understood what Mommy wanted, he started pointing towards the living room. Mommy followed him towards the room, where he stopped, and pointed to the bedroom beside him. We entered the room, and he continued walking towards a corner, then bent down to pick something. It was the mobile phone! Mommy was so surprised with his behaviour, and happily gave Eric a big clap and a big hug!

Highlight of the day: Due to a cold, Eric has been taking Bealafed for his runny nose, and Eryson for antibiotics. For some reason, it turns him from a Dr. Jekyll to a Mr. Hyde. He becomes more cranky than usual, throwing trantrums at all turns, until I’m not sure what to do with him. Even taking him out for a drive or stroll, which usually works wonders to calm him, doesn’t do much for him.

Hopefully he’ll recover soon so he won’t have to take anymore of those medicines.

Highlight of the day: Three weeks ago, Eric finally learnt how to nod his head. It happened while he was eating his dinner. I was feeding him, and did a “Yummy, yummy” expression as I nodded my head. In return, he imitated me by saying and doing the same thing. He looks so adorable whenever he did that.

Also, for the whole of last week, Eric got a nasty mosquito attack all over his arms and feet. We spent most of the week at Daddy’s kampung house, which was basically still a jungled area. Poor Eric, he itched so much that he scratched himself till he bled. I wasn’t quite too pleased with the whole thing

Highlight of the day: Eric has been entertaining us with his special dance move this week. Every time he feels like dancing, he would move up and down, with hands outstretched and fingers twitching as if he’s squeezing something. It’s hilarious! He marvelled at how much laughter it gets from us, which made him wanting to do more! So adorable!
