Hello Everyone! Oliver just had his 10 months old check up this morning. He did extremely well. Starting with laying and sitting still for the nurse to take his measurements. He now weighs 20 lbs 12 oz., 29.8 inches tall. His head circumference is 45 cm.
He still has a little cold and cough, but it's all in his nasal passage and not in the lungs. He has 2 new teeth on top, and 2 more about to pop out on the bottom.
Other big developments are:
1. He understands the words "where is" "ball" "toothbrush", there would be toys all over the floor, but when I ask for the ball, he crawls over and touches it. He also love to open and close doors. And he understands that in English and Chinese!
2. He can walk with little support, some times only being held by one hand.
3. He likes to pick up food and feed himself. Chicken and avocado still is his favorite. He also enjoys pinto beans and broccoli.
4. He loves to play the drum or anything he can hit like a drum. We learned from a visit to a musician friend's house that Oliver is also excellent with the tamboreen with good form, and made a few sounds on the harmonica!
5.He loves to play hide and seek. He starts the game by going behind a wall or the couch, waits for you to look, than peek his head around with a big smile. He also hides behind you if you are sitting on the floor. He may even give you a back massage.
6.He likes to play chase and have you crawl behind him.
7.He also figures out how to turn the walker so he can keep moving! So he is all over the house with the walker. Nothing can stop him now.
8. He can say baba dada mama and blow air out to make his lips vibrate. He often sings little tunes, and I like to sing along with him.
9. He will dance to any music and clap.
10. He like to wave, often with both hands at the same time. Or I suspect he is being sarcastic and making air quotes.
The doctor said he is thriving and showing developmental skills months beyond his age. So as if you don't already know, we think he is perfect!
