Gareth is now 10 months old! People said he has grown fast, but I see him daily so I do not get that same feeling. Well, at least I get to notice the small milestones he has achieved gradually. Gareth is a lot more responsive and very playful now. His eye-hand coordination has improved and he seems to know a few more things in the environment by pointing at the objects you name. When he sees a bus, he will point at it and exclaimed "BAR! BAR!".. I simply repeat after him by saying "BUS! BUS!". Hopefully he will add in a "S" behind the word one day. He has been trying to pronounce words (e.g., jiejie - referring to maid, gorgor - referring to greg, dada - referring to kengyong, mama - referring to me, yeye - referring to his grandfather, bye - when going away, bubbles - when playing bubbles). However, he will point to most objects and say "BALL! BALL!". At first I thought he did not know the name of the object, I had to correct him all the time. Later I realized that he knew the name of the object but it's just that he could not pronounce it. He could point to the object when asked, but when you asked him what the object is, he went "BALL...BALL". Well, undeniably, his favourite object is BALL. He loves balls, balloons, bubbles, wheels... anything that is round... and he simply loves BABY BOP! I don't know why, but each time she appears, he would clap his hands and give a charming smile, as if Baby Bop is his idol.
Gareth is a pretty strong boy. He would pull himself to stand, and attempt to stand on his own at times. It seems inevitable that he had several knocks on his head during this phase, and has some bumps and blueblack on his head. He is also a very clean baby. He would usually pass motion only into the potty. He gets upset if he has to pass motion into his diapers. So if I do not put him in the potty, he can avoid poo-ing for that day. And oh yes, when he gives his flying kiss after waving goodbye, he would simply put his index finger in his mouth despite the fact that Greg tried showing him the right version. Hahaha, perhaps that's Gareth way of giving his goodbye kiss. Last but not least, Gareth only likes to be carried by KengYong and I at home. Not too sure why he chooses not to be carried by the maid at home if he has other options.
Gareth has indeed reached this very lovable and fun stage. I am looking forward to the day he is able to play well with Greg. However, I do believe that I would have another set of challenge that comes with it. Kekeke..
