Update on Chris

A little update on Chris - so what can he do now?

1) He's a able to take a few steps on his own without holding on to any furniture

2) He's starting to say a few words too. I've actually heard him say kakak, and "da" (beat in mandarin- the word my aunt uses to threaten him when he plays with shoes or anything he's not supposed to). He also randomly mimics some of the things we say to him. Sometimes he really takes us by surprise.

3) He's made some attempts to climb out of the playpen - guess it's just a matter of time before he actually climbs out

4) He knows how to sip from a straw.

5) He's enjoying Richard Scarry's Best Learning Video Ever, and will clap and cheer along with the cartoon. His favourite song in the video is "If You're Happy and You Know It" which was also Den's favourite. Very attentive when he's watching this video, am amazed by his attention span - he can sit through the entire 20 minutes.
Oh, he also likes Kungfu Panda. I thought it would be a bit "adult" for his liking but apparently not. He may not sit through the whole movie but he can sit still and watch it for quite some time.

6) He still likes to shake his legs when he's drinking his milk - especially when he's hungry

7) His lips are getting thicker, slowly matching the thickness of his dad's (but thank god it hasn't grown in size)
