Turning Point .....

It seems like after Nigel has turn 1, something in his Lil Brain woke up. He seems somewhat different to me ..
1. He's more active and vocal suddenly. He's very vocal and active before. But now, he talks more. He's active in a different way .. Really hard to explain but he seems to developed an understanding of how certain things function. For example, he will actually put things back after he has played with them. He learn butter-trade. The other day, he hand me one of his fave toy. After I took it, he point to my IPhone !! Another time, last friday, he was holding on to my keys and refuse to return them to me. I gave him my IPhone for my keys !
2. He learn to put himself to sleep !! No One taught him how to !! He just refuse to let me rock him and want to lay on the bed. He toss and turn around a few times and he slept ! Happen a couple of times already.
3. He will actually hold the bottle and feed himself. He already know how to do it but was too lazy to.. Hahaha .. But these few days, he's been doing it all on his own and acutally drank more !
4. He's on training cup now and he love it ! He will hold it, push open the cover and drink ! And after that, he will put it back and the table. And he will clap his hands cos he knows he has done something well !! So Cute ! But I think he love to bite the straw actually ...

And the list goes on.. It's really odd that so many things happen in just a week from his Birthday. He has learnt to crawl too and loving it now. He's everywhere now ! Can't imagine when he walks. He will be a terror definitely. He's learning to walk now. But it seems more like Cat-Walk! He's getting better everyday, thanks to my Dad and Mum. They have patiently taught him the act of crawling ! SighS.. Nigel is growing up so fast.. Too fast. Most of the time I'm at work to be there to watch him grow up. But at least he's in capable, loving hands. Hopfully in near future, if everything turn out ok, I will be SAHM ! Definitely lots of plans for Nigel, music lessons (will be teaching piano on my own), brain development classes (hopfully can sign him up for GUG but time is hard to arrange now) and of cos flash cards... Sounds like a lot of stress for Nigel but trust me, Nigel love it ! He love to learn (more like play).

Sounds like he will start to learn to talk pretty early. U are a lucky mom, he is learning to sleep by himself even :) My son was so dependent until almost 2 years old. Have you heard about the concept of learning through play? Kids will love the joy of learning through this method vs the use of flash cards.
