He loves to have us watch him and he likes to hear us clap for him; he is beginning to do cute things just to get our attention. Like he calls us "Baba" n "Mama" so many times that sometimes we get tired of responding him. Similarly sometimes he gives flying kiss to us. He shows his love towards us with hugs, especially at evening when we get him back from day care. It may be because he stays around 6 hours in day care and he misses us a lot.

Now a days he empties anything he can get to - such as dresser drawers, kitchen cabinets, trash cans, and even dust bins. Most of the time he drops things so many times and he wants us to pick them up for him. And if we don't do that he sometimes gets angry and throws things and screams on us.

He can look and point in the right direction when we ask him the questions like where’s daddy, where’s the ball.

We thought our chora is becoming cranky but

Now a days, we feel that our son is slowly becoming cranky. He usually sleep late at around 10 pm. Today also he wasn't sleeping till 10:30 pm. We thought he is exploiting us so we shouted on him but still he was not ready to sleep. At the very moment, something clicked us, "Isn't he hungry?" then we prepared one and half spoon of cerelace (baby food), we gave him, he took all and slept after some pat on his back. We felt very sorry for everything that happened tonight. Actually we didn't understand him and his cryings. He was actually hungry and asking for food, but we thought he was becoming cranky. How could an empty stomach sleep without food??
Sorry my Dear.
