Ian Is 20 Months Old

Quick statistics:

Weight: 12.6kg
Height: ~88cm


Dietary Habits
He has been sharing all our food except for seafood.  He is a rather fussy eater, and loves junk food (eg. chocolate, chips, crackers) and fish balls.  We are trying to change his diet to become more like ours, i.e. having bread for breakfast and noodles for lunch.  As he still cannot eat much from our plate, we try to let him have at least a full meal of porridge at least once a day.

One thing we have noticed is that he loves fish.  However, the fish must be cooked just right.  Otherwise, it will risk his rejection!

We have also stopped bringing milk powder on trips.  Instead, we will pack a packet of milo or UHT milk into the diaper bag for him to drink when he is hungry.  He loves milo and the chocolate UHT milk, and we are going to order one whole carton of milk for him next month as it is a lot cheaper.  Ian is also 'outgrowing' the baby biscuit balls and prefers crackers which has more munch.


Speech
His speech is still limited to a few vocabulary.  Finally, he has started to call "Mummy", "Daddy", and "Por Por".  It is a challenge to make him talk, and now, we are resorting to 'bribery', ie. to make him talk before he gets what he wants.  Hopefully, he will become more talkative when he starts childcare. 


Motor Development
He has been imitating us:
- talking on the phone
- taking the screwdriver out and pretending to use it
