Andreas updates

Our little prince turned 10 months old last week and oh boy, he is always busy and an accomplished escape artist. He wriggles his way out of diaper change, booster seat, and high chair. Tell him to 'Stay there,' and he responds with a smile full of mischief.

Here are his other activities.

1. He loves posing for the camera. When Mom says, smile, he does so willingly and waits for the flash.
2. His interest to page his books increased. Reading can keep him quiet for several moments.
3. He likes strawberries!
4. He gulps his way through fresh squeezed orange juice.
5. He is no longer interested in eating his cereal. He prefers steamed veggies, rice, soup, fish and whatever else we are eating.
6. Still drinks Similac and Promil.
7. His vocabulary consists of dada, mama, tata, eta.
8. Anything round interests him. He tries to steer it like he sees his Dada driving.

At home in Jaffliya

9. He is now wearing 18 months clothes size
10. The stuff dog we bought from Ikea is his 'owie.' The sight of it comforts him so we bought him three.
11. He has two teeth on his lower gums.
12. He loves the songs Raindrops, I love you, I have two hands, Incy Wincy Spider, and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
13. He still adores his Barney and Brilliant baby videos.
14. Diaper change are always a wrestling match.
15. He now refuses to be carried. He cruises around the house, explores the vast grass at the park, or run back to us squealing in delight when he sees other kids at the mall.
16. His pedia says he is sociable and used to people. The last time we took him, Andreas smiled at him like he was looking at Barney.
