Joshua @ 10 months

The cheeky boy turned 10 months last Thursday. This month, he has been babbling a lot. We don't understand a word but he seems very happy talking to himself =) Has added a lot of "new words" to his vocabulary as well.

Not only does he know how to say "bye bye" now, he also knows "hi". In the picture above, he was lifting his hand up to say "hi" =). Of course he doesn't do it every single time we prompt him, but he can do it most of the time. And then we would praise him sky-high =P

He has been learning how to open doors and cabinets. If the room door is not firmly shut, he would use his hand and open the door so that he can go outside. He also tries opening the cabinets in the kitchen. My my, I have to be careful with the plates and bowls and watch him like a hawk already.

Recently, he has been moving around in a new position. His knees are off the ground and he uses his hands and feet to move. Just like Spiderman!

In terms of eating, he is beginning to be choosy. Don't really like porridge anymore, but prefers western food like pasta and baked fish. Still loves his fruits, I am glad for that. And he loves bread too. Anytime he is fussy/choosy, he will instantly be all smiles again when he is given bread. I have also been giving him more chunky food, still soft food but not so mashed up anymore. And when I give him soft fruits like kiwi fruit, papaya, dragon fruit and rockmelon, I usually slice the fruits and feed him, since he has 2 upper and 2 lower teeth to bite. Of course I have to control the portion he bites coz this greedy little fella always wants to have a big, big bite.

His favourite game is "peeka-boo". He would use the curtains to hide himself and slowly push the curtains away and give us a cheeky smile. He does that several times a day.
