At home he walks circles from the kitchen to the living room to the hallway back to the kitchen and continues with this circuit, walking around and jibber jabbering to himself and to us.
Now that he is upright on two feet, he is also discovering how to dance. All of those hours he spent watching the wiggles dance party over and over again have paid off as he now does most of the dance moves and even tries to sing along. Pretty good given his limited vocabulary. Last time we tried we were able to count 24 words that Jake says.
Just a couple weeks before he turned 18 months, Jake decided to go through a hunger strike. It was so frustrating until I learned this is perfectly normal and he will eat again when he is hungry. True to form, he is back to eating and we added yummy tyson chicken nuggets to his food repetoire - 100% natural so I figured it was okay. His latest new dish is thai basil chicken (gai sup kaprow), not spicy.
He continues to charm anyone and everyone who sees him. When he was a newborn, I thought of course everyone loves a newborn. But now he is a full fledged toddler and still manages to win fans wherever he goes with his friendly hi's and bye's and happy babbling as he walks around.
His 18 month stats are height 32 and a quarter inches and weight 22 pounds and 9 ounces. He is bang on average height but only 10 percentile weight.
His current vocabulary includes:
- mama
- papa
- teddy
- yes
- no
- hi
- bye
- night night
- monkey
- car
- truck
- keys
- this
- please
- kaap (thai-thank you)
- bid (thai-close)
- yai (thai-grandma)
- mee-mee (his own word for pacifier)
- go
- baby
- two (when he hears 1-2-3 on tv he says two-two-two)
- fish
- doggy
- puppy
- ball
- nana (banana)
- go down (from a wiggles song)
- hey
- wow/whoa
