Historical day

19 June 2010 was a special day. It's when Evan started to say 'Mum' and 'Dad' ! We've been waiting for him to talk. At his age, 2,2 years, his speaking skills is very limited. His vocab since he was 1,6 year old was Shoes, No, Juice, and Cheese. It didn't improve much for a long time. He screamed a lot though, which is frustrating and annoying. Sometimes he babbles and babbles with his own language, and didn't stop. A few weeks ago he started to say "tatata" which means Tractor. That was improvement, at least we know what he wants/talking about.

So when he finally said, "MUM" when I pointed myself and asked, "Who is this?" I and hubby was thrilled! And then he said "DAD' when hubby pointed himself and asked, "who is this?". We were filled with excitement!

He's probably doesn't talk much now, but he is definitely getting there.

Can't wait !

Evan is babbling... ;p

Blocks

One of Evan's favorite toys lately is lego and blocks. He had them for quite a while, but it takes time until he finally understand how to play it properly, that the blocks is there to be built into something, not to throw or munch on.

It's fun to see how his motoric n building skills change and improve everyday. Moreover, it's interesting to see the way he arrange the blocks. They always arranged in the same direction (not cross way or messy way), so it always resulting nice looking shapes. By the look of it, he might grow to be a tidy - ordered, organise boy (i hope! :p)

I use the blocks to teach him to learn colour too. He starts to know Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green now.:)

My next project is introduce him to blocks that can not be attached. Hundreds of block that you have to stack. It would be interesting. But I have to find the good one first.

Here is some pictures of the Lego shapes he made himself almost a month ago. It's quite amazing for me, and he gets better and better nowadays.

Blooming

My garden is blooming! Especially our Hydrangea. They keep emerging. I never have so much bloom in my garden before. So this time is kinda special. I can see them outside from our living room, so it's a nice view. As they are many of them, some of them starting look heavy for the plant. I decided to keep some inside the house so the house would look lovely too. :)
