1. He totally despises having his nose wiped, he’ll shake his head so hard to avoid the wiping, sometimes we fear his neck may just snap.
2. He loves food, his lips will start moving when he sees food and it doesn’t matter what you’re eating, he wants to have whatever you’re having. My sis once caught him licking his lips, drooling over some apples on the altar table – she actually brought him there to pray but obviously his attention got diverted. He loves fruits especially apples, bananas, grapes and nectarines (provided it’s sweet). Who am I kidding, that boy just loves food! He sometimes finishes his bro’s food cos Dennis eats so slowly. Yes, despite having only 2 teeth (at the bottom) and being able to process only a small amount of food at any one time, he’s able to eat faster than his 3 year old bro. To be fair, Den is quite a slow eater.
3. He love his bro’s company – breaks into a big happy smile when he sees his bro and gets all excited when he watches his bro play. But sometimes he gets a bit annoyed by Dennis too cos Dennis likes to “kacau” him like poking his face, pushing him, giving him rough hugs...that really gets to him. But Chris gets his revenge by “Godzilla-ing” Dennis’ train tracks and toy bridge when Dennis is playing.
4. Loves his bolsters to bits – the sight of his bolster will make him grin happily and he’ll lunge over to grab it. Even when he’s hungry and crying for his milk in the middle of the night, Chris will still bend down to pick up his bolster to hug, amidst his pitiful sobs.
5. He’s pretty good with the camera. He actually makes a cute face for the camera and smiles to it. So cute!
6. Knew how to get down from the bed on his own at the tender age of 6 months old. He would slowly wiggle his way from the middle of the bed to the floor, with his backside first and land on his feet. I don't know where he learned this but we certainly didn’t even teach him. I was surprised to see him do that one day out of the blues. Dennis was different - when he first started learning to get down from the bed, he went head first, and tumbled down to the floor like Humpty Dumpty.
7. Started crawling up the stairs when he’s 8 months old. Mummy’s now training him to climb up the stairs, crawl to my room to fetch my handbag when I need to go out. (just kidding!)
8. He’s got big feet and his toes are way too long for an infant. I bought him a pair of shoes meant for 9-12 month old for Chinese New Year (he was about 8 months old then) and he couldn’t fit in them. We had to push and tuck his feet into the shoes like how Cinderella’s step sisters did with the glass slippers but we still failed to slide the feet in. And I thought I couldn’t go wrong with so much buffer! Cuz Jake will benefit from this.

"miku" foot - his foot is so meaty
His foot is almost the size of my aunty's palm.
9. He knows when to say no when he says no, he means NO. From young (like 2-3 months old), he would push the bottle away when he didn’t want any more milk. And he’d cry so hard if you even try to force him to drink a tiny bit more. As he got slightly older, he learned to shake his head vehemently when he refused something. Now that he’s bigger, he’ll wriggle his way out of your grip and he can be quite strong.
10. He’s not very good with strangers. He really needs time to warm up with the people he’s unfamiliar with. At the beginning of the meeting, he will stare intently and suspiciously at the stranger for a very very long time, refusing to get near him/her. Depending on his degree of unfamiliarity with you, he may need about 15 minutes to a few hours to warm up.
