nick nick CAN...

i must say .. i have really lost a lot of time with nick nick ....

but over the past few weeks nick nick has grown tremendously in skills!!!

8 months old achievements:-

• nick nick can crawl forward (though he started crawling backwards at 7 months)
• nick nick can clap his hands (though he started closer to 6 months but stopped for a while ... til now)
• nick nick can say NO
• nick nick grew a tooth!

nick nick can crawl forward - this was something he learnt while we were in hong kong for that week .. and he realised that going forward was the only way to get to me and have me carry him!!!! and that gave him enough of a motivation to MOVE .....

nick nick can clap his hands! and more surprising - yesterday i had nick nick on my lap and we were playing a game of clapping hands. with him seated back-facing to me, i clapped my hands and he would follow and clap his hands. at one point, i clapped my hands and then asked him to "Clap Mummy's hand". I use my left hand and kept my right hand. Nick nick raised his right hand and clap that against my left hand!!! and after that he turned his head to look at me and smiled!!!

i was shocked and happy! and i did that the second time .. .and again nick nick raised his little right hand and clap against my big left hand!!! and smiled again at me with that big toothless smile!!

nick nick can now understand instructions!!

nick nick can say NO - when we feed him and he has enough, he will shake his head and close his mouth ... and that is the same for food or drinks or milk ... nick nick can tell you - NO.... and of course if you still dun get it .. he will start to cry and use his hands to push you away ... nick nick can say NO...

nick nick grew a tooth!! the bottom right tooth!!! it was pushing its way out during the week we were in hong kong and goodness me! that was a painful exercise for him and for us too!! but now - he has ONE tooth!! :P

so ... nick nick can do lots now ..... nick nick CAN.
