Ezra started to walk without help at about 13.5 months, in a very wobbly fashion. Within about 3 weeks or so, he could walk rather steadily. The books said that 1.35 months was the average and boys usually start slower than girls, but a few people I have talked to so far said Ezra was very advanced! My little genius!
He also started off with a few words like 'Ball', 'Star' (besides Mama and Papa) 'Car' and 'Bye Bye'. He could also say 'Fish' but not so well, at least he could recognize it when asked. As of today, he has added 'Yes', 'No', 'Bear', 'Door', 'Bag', 'Milk' (cow's milk in a cup or pack), 'Nai Nai' (his bottled milk), 'Gai gai', 'Flower' (his 1st 2 syllable word on 7 Jan!), 'Bow' (for rainbow, on 8 Jan), 'Man-man' (for Ultraman) to his vocabulary. I think that's alot of words for a 15 month old! There are other words that he blurted out just after hearing us ask him to say it once. He briefly said 'Please' and refused to say it again subsequently.
I realised he actually knew the meaning of the words, he knew that different looking cars are still cars. When I asked 'Do you want nai-nai?"; he would actually nod his head to say yes.
We gathered that Christmas is his favorite time of the year because there were balls and stars all over the place! He went crazy saying "Ball! Star!" when we went down Orchard Road one weekend.
It is his little actions that melts people's hearts. He would sometimes tilt his head and look at a stranger innocently and would usually say 'Bye Bye' to people around him. When Papa is resting, he would sometimes snuggle up to him and give him hugs and kisses. He would run up to us and call "Papa" or "Mama" in an unresistable tone, hug our legs and asked to be carried. How can anyone refuse that?
Oh, my little one is so cute! I love him so much... and so does everyone around him!
