Little Dude's Milestones Post # 2

I initially thought I'd make a milestone post every month but being the lazy blogger that I am and having a crazy workload in the office (hence the tired, tired body when I get home), looks like that's not a possibility.  Tsk tsk...

Anyway, here's another "review".  Marcus is two years and ten months as of today.

Feeding

• We're now (finally) on purely Nido 1+!  Average intake is 2-3 220-ml bottles per day (yes, still have not weaned him)
• Favorite baons to school -  Koko Krunch and Animal Bites
• Likes spaghetti, fried chicken, and french fries from McDo (ask him and this is what he's gonna say)
• Loves taho

Bath

• Can wash and rinse his face on his own in the sink
• Brushing his teeth isn't as difficult as it used to be that sometimes he insists on doing it on his own
• Using Johnson's milk bath and orange shampoo    

Sleeping

• Still takes one to two-hour afternoon naps after school
• Dreams more often - sometimes calling out "mommy!" or laughing in his sleep

 Attitude/Habits

• Kisses me and says "good moning!" (isn't he the sweetest?!) when he wakes up before I am, which is usually on weekends
• Fond of screaming when he doesn't get what he wants
• Always wants mommy or daddy to "watch" and "come here" (with him)
• Starting to learn that yes is opo

 Abilities/Development

• Can spell his name M-A-R-C-U-S or recognize it when it's written
• Holds pencils and crayons properly
• Counts until 13 perfectly (14 to 20 still gets mixed up)
• Plays bowling, basketball, golf, swordfight, table tennis, and frisbee on Wii
• Finally makes the peace sign to mean that he's two years old
• Identifies all the letters of the alphabet, basic colors, and shapes (I love how he knows pentagon and trapezoid! hihi)
• Goes to the bathroom, puts his pants down, and pees without assistance
• Can take of his clothes on his own  
• Finally says "mommy" instead of "mani"
• Points out to traffic lights - green means go, red means stop

Favorites/Pet peeves

• Reading books with mommy before bedtime
• His number puzzles
• Lightning McQueen and High Five
• Wii and golf

Measurements

• Height - 91.4cm
• Weight - about 14+ kg (same)
• Shoe size - 6 to 7 (same)
• Shirt size - usually S or 2T, depends on brand (same)

Come to think of it, his terrible two's stage isn't so terrible at all! :)
