Dylan and the phone

Last night, Dylan almost dunked my phone into a glass of water. Luckily I was watching else my phone would have been drowned. Anyway, today I think my phone cranks up. It's acting weird and probably suffering from stroke or something. It was all right but just half an hour ago, I can't boot up, only to see an apple on the screen for past 15min and then it came back to life!  Anyway, it's time to get a new phone!

This morning we woke up to a very excited Dylan, who managed to get hold of my phone, screaming "Ifon, ifon!" 5min later, he came to me and said, "No more! Chak chak, cher cher" and handed the phone back to me. My Dylan decoder said, "No more, charge charge, xie xie"

Things that I don't do with my phone and kid#2 did it for me
1. add almost all my contacts into favorite
2. set timer and alarm at the odd-est hour
3. personalise ringing tone to most contacts
4. make overseas calls and also to my insurance agent!

The little loud one

Last week, I taught Dylan word by word, to say I want more apple, he does it with his version of 'sign' language
I          use his fingers to pinch lightly on his eyes
want    slouch forward, arms together
more    signs more correctly while saying it
apple    arms high up in the arm
and after saying all this, he would end with "Yay" and claps his hands

I have heard "Get the ball", "Kick the ball", "Look at that", "What is this", "I want apple, I want milk"

He is now able to name these when we point to the pictures/items
FISH, BIRD, DOG, CAT, COW
CRANE, TRUCK, MOTORCYCLE (he calls bike), TRAIN, BOAT, SHIP
Sometimes he would grab my index finger to say out loud objects to him

When asked what does lion says, his answer is, "Um!" while Shawn would add on, "No, not um, it's ROARRRR"

He was looking at my handphone with pictures from weekend's lunch. He saw YT's birthday cake and said, "Papa... Papa... cake... cake... happy... yay!" It wasn't continous and smooth but I figured he was trying to string them together.

I just can't explain's Dylan love for
1. char siew pau     3 at one go? Not the giant pau but regular char siew pau
2. apple                 would keep 100+ pcs of blocks into the toy box for the sake of one apple
3. football              my kid was screaming goal and clapping at Best Denki watching M'sia vs Sin match, while the players were just passing the ball at the pitch

Dylan talks

Yesterday just right after dinner Dylan declared "All done" hands down wham on the highchair table and was quickly trying to get out of the highchair.


He is loving soup these days too. He mumbled something like "I want soup".

He took a deep bite on Shawn's hand when the latter refused to hand him some Lego blocks. So Dylan took a bite on Shawn's right arm. In the evening the bite area was still red and felt puffy. Poor Shawn... I told Dylan's school teacher in the morning and I guess the news did go around and seems like most teachers now are keeping an eye on the little biter. He tried to nip my thigh last night and I managed to stop him before I became a victim!

In the morning when he wakes up he still chant "Ipad Ipad Ipad"... addict!

Finally COLOR!!! This morning he got hold of a blue car flashcard and said, "Blue". Yay!

Dylan point at the moon and said, "Ball ball". When the moon is blocked by some buildings as the car moved, he said, "Bye ball ball".

Okay!

Blood test came out pretty normal! Yay! Not anemic though dr said he looks a little pale. Overall okay today except that some vomit spit after a spasm of cough just now. I'm struggling to feed him with goat's milk today. Sigh.. hopefully he'll be more receptive tomorrow.

As for Dylan...

One of the crappy weekend and Monday. We started Dylan on antiB last Sunday night. Upon the 4th dose he had runs. So we had to stop. On Wednesday he didn't take any antiB. On Thrus I gave him only 1/4 of what was supposed to be for one day dose, and he continued to have runs. He was warm then then fever came back on Saturday night. Went sky high 39.6deg on Sunday morning.

We brought him to Dr Khor today. No choice but to jab since his body is rejecting antiB and continuing having fever and diarrhoea which would drains him. Poor kid cried the mall down when he had his nose cleaned by the expert and swabbed. Dr took his stool and nose muck for tests.  During jab, he was protesting, shed some tears and then it was all right after we cheered and clapped when the jab was done. Brave boy! I think to him, nose swab was more tortorous than the jab. Anyway, after his nap, he was running temperature at high end of 38deg. I was out buying Karihome to sub his Gain IQ temporarily. When I got hom I gave him ibuprofen and panadol to bring that down. Ridiculously just now when I checked his temperature it was 35deg-ish. He is sweating buckets now.

I gave him Karihome goat milk just now. He took one sip and had that 'yucks' look on his face. He probably drank 100ml out of the 180ml that I made. Ouch to my pocket because Karihome is EXPENSIVE! Anyway, hope during the next feed he would drink and not kick a fuss! And I certainly hope that he won't wake up at 2.30am (which he did yesterday) and squat in the kitchen to drink water. Pls pls sleep through at least till 6!

Dylan seems to be able to count 1 to 7, not spot on pronounciation but just mumble jumbo, when it comes to seven, he does it with eh-ven.. something like that.  Other than that it's A B C

Today I was singing The wheel on the bus go .... Dylan answers with Beep Beep Beep through the phrases. When it comes to All day long, he sings something that sounded like all lay long

Ouch!

Yesterday, Dylan fell down on a pile of toys and wailed his lungs out. He had a small (not deep) cut on his cheek. After wailing for less than 3min, it's back to business of messing around house. We are not sure what exactly happened because there was just Dylan and Shawn in the living room when this happened. Ah Ma was cutting apple in the kitchen while I was bathing. Anyway, this morning we only see a light cut on the cheeck.


Recently he must have learnt to keep toys in school. So, he could register that he should be keeping toys when we harp on him, well at least he does keep a few before walking off (thought there are many more left on the floor) :)

Last night as Dylan was tossing around his mattress, I took away his bolster, then he playfully said, "No, no, no". Then I piled 4 baby bolsters onto him and he chuckled and said, "No, no, no". Seems like he knows what 'no' means now.

When asked questions ending with ok, he always reply with OK. Usually he has a tendency to object when it comes to the real thing. Like e.g. I told him to change his diaper ending with ok, he replied ok. Then when I put him on the diaper mat, he'll squirm and scream! Guess ok doesn't quite mean anything as yet huh...
