17 months

Since Kelvin got a new cell phone with awesome video capture quality, he began to record LOTS of video of Sol-B that I can't even post them all here. Here are a few from a few weeks ago back when Mah Mah was still in Toronto.

At the zoo looking at african penguins:


On the swing in the park. He WOULD NOT go into the swing if I was carrying him. He prefers to stick to me like a koala bear!


Going down the slide. This was during the warm thanksgiving wkend that we had so we were still wearing short sleeves. Last time at the playground this year! =(


Playing falling rocket with Gung Gung:


Ball shooting into the exersaucer. Didn't know that the exersaucer would have this additional purpose!


Sol-B now loves tiger soooo much! Besides his stuffed animal tiger, he'll kiss the tiger in the books and some other animals on the animal flash cards too.


But for some reason there are some animals that he dislikes and he makes sure that I know that!

Sol-B walking!

Sol-B can finally walk unassisted! He finally has the courage to walk on his own without holding onto something or someone! So proud of him! We always have to remind him to walk slowly though or he'll forget.

Here are some videos of him first walking in his play area. That's where he is most comfortable at.









Over the weekend we were at Toysrus and Sol-B was playing with trains. He loves choo choos! He was even making "gung gung gung" sounds!

New words

Sol-B is starting to say some new words! No wonder he's not sleeping well!

He can say:
Mama
伯伯 Baht Baht
靚靚 (beautiful)
奶奶 (milk)
Yea Yea (although only for 1 night)
飽飽 (full)

Haha no "Dea Dea" consistently yet. I think I heard him say it a couple of times but it wasn't very accurate so I'm not sure.

He's learning fast!

Halloween

It was Sol-B's first time trick or treating. He was dressed up as...guess what...a tiger! hahaha! I managed to find a tiger costume among the large amount of hand me downs that I have. Fortunately it still fits Sol-B. He really seems like a toddler now, not baby anymore!

We went out perhaps a little too early, not completely dark yet. So we just went to a few houses on our street.






















Sol-B was a bit unsmiling. I figured out later on that he was hungry b/c after dinner, he was full of energy again!




























Having fun walking outside like a big boy!
