Fritz : 17th months

Happy sweet 17th months!

Same days 17th months ago, Wednesday...

This month, he really shows lots of developments.

Now, he is able to recognize some icons; Carrefour, Giant, Hypermart, Hoka Hoka Bento statues, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Bear in A&W, and few more...even I forgot to remember those....;p
He will point when he sees them along the way.

During his visit to one of hypermarket, he likes to take a thing that he had shown in the advertisement. One time, he could recognize Skippy Jam in the Alfa Midi when accompanied Poppa hunting some stuffs. Next, he took Milkuat Milk and insisted to bring them (he took 2 bottles) to the cashier and I had to pay those. Other times, he took a Pulpy Orange and again I had to pay in the cashier. In the end, he even didn't really like those things.

Most of all, he understands the orders we say to him. Some times, he wants to help me to do some chores, such as put the clothes to the laundry basket after taking a bath or throw the litter to the dust bin. Even, he ,with his awareness, threw the litter when he saw it in the floor. Nice boy, huh!

And some times, he can show his bad attitudes. Refused to take a bath in the afternoon by waving both of his hands and continuing his activities or even refused to wear his pajamas in the night because he felt so hot. He really doesn't want to wear it. If I put in, he always pulled his pants up till his thigh or pull one of his sleeve up.

He really a neat boy. No crumbs in his mouth or hands during eating time. If there is something messy in the table, he will wipe it with the tissue.

He is also a proper boy. He always reminds us to do something in proper ways.

One time, his Poppa wore his shirt untidy. He pull up half of his shirt on his belly because of the hot day. Then, Fritz pointed to his Poppa and asked him to put the shirt down and wore it properly.

Other case, we can't put off our sandals, he will asks us to put on again. If Opa takes off his eyeglasses for a moment to wipe his sweat, he will insist Opa to wear it again. He will stop grumbling if everything is done properly. That's Fritz!

He does what the elder do!

When I cook, he wants to see what I cook. When someone go with car, he wants to follow. When he wants to watch movie, he will try to turn on the DVD player by himself.

Truly copycat!

Pretend feeding his toys using spoon like I feed him.
Laughing like me with a big open mouth and cover it with hand.
Greeting when someone is going home by raising up his hands and saying "aaaaaaahhh" means "hi"

He is so close with his Opa. Likes to play along with Opa in his upper room and ask Opa to turn on his fave TV channel, Playhouse Disney and let Opa not to watch other channel. Opa is pampering him much.

He is also close with his Poppa. During teaching time, Poppa is taking care of him. Play along or doing afternoon walk with him. See a dog in the church or just see some oxes in the back side of our residential complex. Bathing him and feeding him. What a nice moment between dad and son!

He is babbling much nowadays. The clear words are "go-go", "oop" for stop, "baa" for peek a boo. That's all.

He loves appraisal. He shows it by showing his two thumbs as good sign.

Other bad attitudes are he doesn't want to share his belongings but he wants to take the others. He also doesn't want to play along with the younger and prefer playing with the elder. Next job of me to maintain these attitudes in his social life.

He's getting bigger and bigger now. He can drink UHT milk, the chocolate flavor ones. He also consumes vitamin everyday to complete his nutritious. He's taller. All of his clothes are getting tightly and also with his pants. I really need to buy the new ones.

My boy is really growing up now. I really can't wait to see him jumping, running, talking and screaming.
