1 Year Old

okay, mummy admit that she is guilty of this very late post which happen close to 3 weeks late! beside the new routine that everyone is adapting into, she is totally drained by end of the day coupled with extensive online shopping for her 'dream handbag' and she got it! *grinz*

Zethan had his 2 upper front teeth and 3 on the lower gum with another one suspiciously cutting on the lower gum it seem. that explains the agreesive bitting and drooling Zethan is experiencing which is not a norm for him.
Despite doing very well in his milk feeds and porridge, apparently it seem he is not putting on much weight instead leaning down a little. This is not surprising since he is super duper active these days. One of his newly accquired hobby will be crawling up and down the bed and platform. Amazingly nobody actually taught him the legs down technique but he is doing it! Once down the platform, he will be everywhere at his whim and fancy, crawling at lightning speed.

Zethan love to clap out of the blue especially so when he is being praised. Mummy realised the strong charcter of Zethan and had to go on the soft approach on him. Instead of forcing it down his throat, she will have to coax him and praised him by clapping which result in repeated actions he does proudly (of whatever he is doing e.g. drinking from the sippy cup). He will pretend to cough or even when he is really coughing or choking on water, he will tapped himself on the chest which is what the grandma does to him typically.

on the emotional aspect, Zethan has learnt to manupulate the adults. mummy observe that when she is angry with Zethan and display an angry face / raises her voice slightly, Zethan will lean close to mummy's face affectionately! How very clever is that and of course it melts mummy's heart and she smile instead. Otherwise what he does is to flash his most charming smile and get away with everything, more so when he gets a smile in return, he will smile real proud! oh, remember about the 'trick' that mummy mentioned previously which made her irritated yet can't help sniggling over. Whenever Zethan is angry with the adults especially when one walk away without waiting for him to close up the gap, he will lay flat on his face with hands and legs far stretched and whine. where/who on earth did he pick this up from?
mummy was just commenting the other day, this little guy seriously crack his brain in almost everything he does. another classic example - when one refuse to let him down the bed, he will pretend to inch slowly and un-noticely towards the edge of the bed being letting himself down. either that or he will throw something down the bed amd on the context of retrieving the item, attained his objective of getting down. mummy foresee that it will be a sticky situation in the near future in the department of discipline. parenting tips anyone? be a permissive, authoritarian, authoritative parent, mummy is hopeless and clueless, time to hit the books! parenting for Dummies!
