Milestones

It's been a busy few weeks for me. I haven't had a chance to even document Gabriel's 1 year milestones. He walks with support, but still very much prefers to crawl. Even in the baby wading pool, he would walk for a while then try to crawl. And he talks more too. He'd say 'ba-ba' and 'da-da' and 'hei' and the occasional 'wa'. I'm still working on 'ma-ma' though. He now would pick up a pencil/crayon and start scribbling. Then he'll try to chew on the crayon. Gabriel eats two big meals and a few smaller ones in between. He has porridge or soft pasta with some minced meat and pureed vegetables. He loves his fruits too. He still drinks his milk, three times a day. Gabriel still has 4 teeth and I think he's teething because he'd get these urges to bite things.

Meanwhile, his big brother, Bryan is already 4. He is starting to read. He picks words up very fast and is easy to teach. He can also add simple numbers and counts all the way to a hundred. Bryan is starting to eat meals on his own but is also becoming fussy with his food. He'll start off eating well then has to be fed towards the end. He loves playing games, and especially likes Uno for kids. It's his favourite game of the moment.
