Ryan's developmental milestone @ 12 months
Weight: 9.86kg
Height: 76cm


Able to:
Imitates others' activities (yes! very copycat )
• Indicates wants with gestures (all the time)
• Takes a few steps (with encouragement)
• Says one word besides "mama" and "dada" (mostly "nehneh")
Walks alone (a few steps only)
Scribbles with a crayon (Nope. Most paper will end up in his mouth)
• Says two words besides "mama" and "dada" (nainai/nehneh)

He also learnt how to say no by gesturing.  Shaking his head or waving his hands.
He's not into waving goodbye or hello yet. (totally depending on his mood)
He does assisted (friend kiss). *We hold his hands and help him gesture*
He likes to clap nowadays, whenever he's happy.
Kinda tv addict. (My fault) Using too much tv as a nanny.
He has learnt how to manipulate us by tearing a drop here and there at appropriate timings.
Loves to climb, stepping on anything possible to get whatever he wants.
I am glad that he has learnt the right way to get off the sofa/bed.  At least he does not fall when I am not looking.
He loves books!  I am very happy.  *Gotta credit my good friend Sandra for reminding me to clutter his play area with board books*

Overall, I am happy with his growth and development.  Now that he is 1yo, my wish for him is to grow up healthy, strong and filial.  Everything else?  I will leave it in the hands of God.
