Fritz : 11th month

Fritz is getting smart days by days...and he grows so fast...

- He can sit down by himself on 26th January. *yay*

- His appetite was going up and down this month. Few weeks ago, he refused to eat his meal. It's because of his 2 coming teeth and he got flu at the same time. He just loved to eat bread. Then after that, he is getting better. He can finish his meal than I thought. On the other side, he likes to taste our food. If we eat in front of him, sometimes we give him a little to taste it.

- He can recognize some animals, such as dog, cat and lizard. When we ask where the lizard is, he is straight up his head and looking for it. Then, when he sees the lizard, he will tell us that he shows it by pointing his finger though it is a little bit far from his place. With dog and cat, he likes to see both of these animals in the street. He isn't afraid with a big dog. He snaps his finger pretending he calls it.

- Now he has 8 teeth total.

- Since he has accompanied me to my work field, he shows lots improvement. He can crawl on the floor. He learn to socialize with the elders, and it's very helpful for me. He isn't afraid with the strangers and easily to socialize with others now.

- He got his second flu in his 10th month old. It took almost two weeks and ended with medicine. *sigh*

- With a little help, he can stand up by himself.

- Then, he starts walking with our guidance. Now, he likes going up the stairs.

- Music lover. He always moves his body when he hears the (common hear) songs.

- His new hobby: tilted his head, shook his head to the left and right with his funny mimic, throw his body to the back in the bed, put his hands on the air, sit like a Japanese, tickling our belly.

- New ability...drinking with straw on Sunday 21st February, during our visit to one of my friend who had delivery the baby (Alice and Agus - Jovann Dominique Ezekiel)...so happy!!!!

In his 11th month old, his brain is already connected with the order given. He knows where the common things took place, where someone is be, what we ask for him (for this case, when we ask him to pull out his feet if he doesn't sit well)

Fritz is getting smart and learning a lot from his environment. Next month will be his 1st year birthday. I can't wait to teach lots of things to him......
