At one year old, Nathan has been zooming ahead into the toddler zone. It’s amazing to see him grow, making new discoveries each day… but often I wish I could just freeze the picture.
So before it all slips away, I made myself sit down to jot down some key highlights…
Top things he loves doing…
- Walking – which officially commenced on 8th January 2012, and since then it’s been non-stop all day long. The only time he stays still (somewhat) is during meal times and nap times
- Putting things into containers and boxes, taking them out, and putting them in again – I recently gave him an empty ice-cream tub with a flip-top lid which is now one of his favourite things
- Reading books together – he calls them ‘behks’ and when he wants some reading time, he will grab a book, hand it to me or daddy and say “behk-behk”. He loves turning the pages even though he often turns them too quickly – all part the fun I suppose
- Playing catch – all it takes is a “I’m gonna getcha!!!” and you’ll have Nathan trotting away as fast as his chubby little legs can take him, laughing and screaming with delight
New words…
- Mum-mum = Food
- Apeh = Up
- Behk = Book
- Poo-poo = Poo a.k.a. #2 (which he sometimes only says whilst I’m cleaning his bum)
Other words he understands but hasn’t really started saying consistently yet: Spoon, Milk and Water (which he sometimes calls ‘teh’)
Recently learnt new skills:
- Waving bye-bye
- Playing with shape sorters
- Placing teddy to sit upright on a chair or the potty
Favourite foods/snacks include:
- Mild curry and rice
- Cruskits
- Arrowroot biscuits
- Cheerios
- Bread
- Yoghurt and fruit
Other funny quirks:
- Needs to hold onto a spoon while eating
- Likes to hold onto a toy or object and walk everywhere with it
And that’s my boy at one-year old!
