Yup...gosh..I'm now like counting down to his 2 year old birthday already. Ha ha! My little baby is now such a big toddler...can't believe how time flies! And with Kendrick, every day is never the same and we really thank God for giving us Kendrick.
Here's some updates on his development...
Kendrick seemed to put on some weight this month. The last I checked he's around 11.8kg. As for height, can't seem to measure accurately, but approximately 86cm tall. Physically he's getting stronger and is now able to climb up our bed without assistance. Previously he did not have enough strength to lift himself up but now that he learned how to leverage on the little edge of the bed to lift himself up, he's climbing up and down our bed really easily. At his Grandparent's home, Kendrick is also climbing up and down the coffee table and sofa all day! Kendrick takes after his Father in being 'pi ku jian'!!

In terms of speech development, Kendrick continues to be the talkative little fella'. All day he's talking and talking and saying things that he knows or just telling us little things like 'Mummy sit here, Papa sit there, Kendrick sit here'. He also loves to tell us things and objects he knows and will constantly mimic some of the words and sentences we say. I guess the only time we get some peace and quiet is during his nap time! But I must say he's rather observant. He notices small little details on books or objects so that he can point out to us what he knows. Like when we were having a meal and he was playing with his kids utensils, he noticed the small print that it was IKEA brand and he told us about it. I guess if you didn't look at it closely, you would not have really noticed it as it was not very obvious.
Kendrick's ability to link patterns and sequences of events continues to be very strong. He always remembers the things he will see along the way home or on our way out and will always call out to those objects before we pass by. He now even knows when the car will turn at certain junctions. Wonder if he has a map in his mind. Ha Ha... Dear says it's just a guy thing to know their directions better :P His unique way of looking at objects also continue to fascinate us. Already earlier on he has shown us that he is able to see the letter 'M' as it is, then turning it around to recognise it as 'W'. He also does the same with numbers like '6' and '9', the square shape which he turned in a direction to see it as a 'diamond shape', the small letter 'h' which he turned around and felt it looked like '4'. Interesting how his brain works as we never actually taught him to look at things this way. It was something which he discovered himself all these while :)
We're still teaching him to recognise colours. He seems better at alphabets, shapes and numbers but slightly weaker in colours. He still gets the name of the colour mixed up. Well, slowly but surely he will pick it up. He's also not willing to be potty trained yet, whether to poo or to pee. Guess this will indeed take some time more. As for eating by himself, Kendrick has made some improvements, but I guess Mummy here has not really let him try much by himself as I'm adverse to getting things messy and dirty. Ha Ha... Maybe I'll set this as an upcoming milestone...
Anyway, here are some recent pics of Kendrick:

I thought the way this shot was taken makes Kendrick look like a big boy, don't you think?
We're at Yishun Safra walking along the suspension bridge before celebrating my Mum and Aunty's birthday dinner

This is Kendrick at home playing with his Lego and magnets
Kendrick loves to doodle on his doodle board and can be at it for a long time. He's able to draw round shapes, lines, jagged shapes, dots and always seem to be concentrating when drawing something. Whenever we ask him what he drew, his answers are always so creative ~ it's always some person or object he imagines it to be
I thought his eyes look cute and round here :)
