21 Months

Been a while since I updated Josh's blog cos we have been both sick the past month. Josh has been having a slight persistent flu and cough for weeks, and then it turned into a bad one and he was coughing throughout the night. I also caught the virus after having sleepless nites with a coughing and crying toddler on my left side and a snoring hubby on my right, so was on medical leave for quite a few days. I took 2 rounds of anti-biotics before recovering. Wonder why hubby's immunity is so strong that he didn't get the virus from a sickly wife and son.

Just realised my past post on Josh's development was back in May when he was 18 months! Now he's 21 months turning 22 in 2 weeks time. He will be 2 years old in Oct.

Physical growth
Height: 86cm
Weight: 11.8kg
Shoe size: US size 7.5

Social / EQ skills
He is starting to socialise with his peers at Cherie Hearts, and also more attentive in class. Since he is getting along fine with his friends there, I intend to let him stay there till end of the year, and register him either at Little Wings or Creative Thinkers at Toh Yi.

Gross Motor Skills
Still habitually tip toes, but it's getting better now. He can climb the stairs slowing by himself holding the railings, but still a bit wobbly. And now he likes to play the slide after overcoming his initial fear. I plan to bring him to the pool more often, as he is still a little afraid of the water, but is now willing to walk around in the baby pool.

Language Skills
Still super chatty and loves to sing. He picks up songs and words very fast even just listening once or twice. I was pretty amused when Daddy and Josh were watching YOG Opening Ceremony and he could repeat all the country names after Daddy. The longest word he can pronounce so far is Hippopotamas.
