18 jOyFuL mOntHs

It's been an incredible 18 months! From a helpless baby, ZaC has grown up to be a cheeky and bubbly toddler. He enjoys playing with his toys, admiring himself in front of the mirror, treating the furniture as a gym (climbing up & down) and reading (or rather, flipping) books! He is still as curious about everything around him and want to touch and put them inside his mouth.
He loves nature and animals. His favourite animal is definately the Cat (he knows both the English and Mandarin names). And he loves the Japanese Cat of Wealth, never failing to spot one in shops. However, ZaC can't have one as they are only available in the ceramic form and not the soft toy version.
Mummy just registered him as a national library member and borrowed some books for him. ZaC has 'graduated' from reading board books and will be exposed to more interesting books (with simple storylines). However, he is still more captivated with the pictures than the story.
ZaC knows over 100 words and is slowly introduced to the Chinese language. ZaC has also started learning more words with 2 syllabus and can pronounce them by listening and imitating. He still babbles in his baby language (姨姨 thinks he sounds Korean) and 'read' books to Mummy.
Lately, ZaC is trying to learn to jump. His attempts include swinging his hands high, pushing his buttocks up, bending his knees and trying to lift himself off the ground. He has yet to succeed though.
