More words from Luca

More words from our little man this week:
Dada - for daddy
Nana - for Banana
Baaa for bye is now properly "Bye"
Fav - for High Five

"Oliver" might be little tricky to teach but he won't be far off!

Mama to Mummy

Luca can now call me either "mama" or "mummy", his little brain is working super hard!
It won't be long till he masters other words :) How exciting!

"mama" I can "walk" now!

I've forgotten how many development stages the little one year olds go through. Luca can now say two words, "mama" and "baaa"(for bye). He can recognise lots of routines like if I say "let's have a bath" he pretends to splash the water with his hands and tries to take his clothes off. If I put him in the feeding chair he puts his hands together for a little prayer (Japanese Itadakimasu) and after dinner thanking for the food.

The biggest progress for him this month is "taking steps!" I wasn't encouraging him to walk even though he was standing up and very close to walking as Matthew was in Singapore and I didn't want him to miss out on this big step but the other day he just stood up and took 4 steps by himself. He was very proud of himself, putting both hands up in the air with a big big smile on his face.

Now the exciting part is over! I have to concentrate on chasing a very unstable person all day! Let's see how long it will take for him to start running :)
