Baby is 11 months old

Baby is 11 months old today! :)

He now has a mind of his own and often he would want to dictate the direction he wants to go by pointing his fingers and body towards that direction. Most of the time he did that, he was looking for Daddy in his study room. :)

He would peep through the door gap and could push open the door that is ajar.

He could tuck his hand in his top drawer to pick up his bib. Red, blue, orange, yellow... I let him pick his own bib for his meals.

He could pick up small biscuits with much more ease now. We encourage him to feed himself as and when we can. There was this once that we handed him a long biscuit, he pushed the biscuit into his mouth, let go of his hands, continued playing with his toys with his freed hands and then tried to gobble up the whole piece up with the work of his mouth and tongue! Haha, so cute!

He could sit very stable now either on his high chair or mat and we tried to let him play more on his mat now. His anxiety seems to be gone and he is more able to accept being alone or seeing Mummy and Daddy walking off for a while. good news.

He understands and follows instructions to wave "bye bye" to us every morning when we leave for work, sometimes auto! :)

He claps his hands along with melodies whenever he hears them or whenever we sing songs to him. He seems to enjoy himself more and more as each day passes, we simply adore his laughter and wide smile.

However, he is ever more determined to reject his milk, so skillful at squirming away from milk now that I think his grandparents sort of give up feeding him after exhausting all of their solutions! Hmmm...any valuable solution to this?

We had our 2nd staycation this year. This time it was at Pan Pacific Hotel. It was rather a disappointing stay, not as good as expected. Nevertheless, Baby seems to enjoy himself there. However, he had an eye infection right after the stay that lasted for a few days and we had a hard time restricting him from rubbing his red puffy eyes. Fortunately, it was not due to food allergy.

We introduced him to oatmeal, blueberries, fresh bananas and papayas and so far, his bowels movements are regular although the stools are hard.

Next month he will be turning one year's old. DC and I have fixed the date of his birthday celebration and have been making preparations. *counting down* I'm keen and thinking if I should have another celebration on his actual birthday... Hmm...
