Gabriel's Development at 18 months

Time flies. Our Little Gabriel has reached 18 months old. We were eagerly waiting for him to reach 18 months old as people say kids will be able to play longer and sit still longer. However, this is not what we observed. He is more active, energetic and curious compared to previous months.

He's now more difficult to control as we can’t carry him if he doesn’t want to. He would lift his hands up and slip through our grip when we try to carry him. He is strong!

He is very cute now and always tries to speak new words. Whenever he learns up a word, he will speak it frequently. His favorite word is “car”. His favorite toy is also the “car”. Besides “car”, he is also able to speak words like berry (strawberry), nana (banana), up, teat (pacifier), cup, pen, ba (bus), A, M, O, foot, book, go, ket (basket), ball, baba, mi, po, gung, ma, pa, yiyi (aunty), bak bak (uncle), bi (Baby), and etc.

Sometimes he is shy when he meets strangers. He will start blinking his eyes and look down. Ha! Ha!

Sometimes he will keep saying “ Huh? Huh? Huh??” and he will look at you very innocent! This makes us laugh!!!

Gabriel boy, you are so cute and we love you! - Mi and PaPa
