18 Months Old

Today CE turned 1 and a half years old. But the poor boy is having runny nose. Here are his updates:

Statistics
Weight - about 11 kg
Height - 84 cm (an estimate coz I used the cloth measuring tape to measure. Hmmm... how come he's not grown any taller for 3 months already?)

Diet
Takes 3 times of milk (8-10 ozs), 2 times porridge, breakfast (bread, biscuit) and tea time (fruits).
He doesn't like bread that much anymore. Sometimes he can't even finish 1 piece in the morning. Likes to play with it more than eating it. Tearing it into small pieces and squashing it.
He eats a lot when we go out for a meal. After he's finished his porridge, he can still eat some bread and cornflakes and raisins (as much as we'd allow him to). If we don't give him the snacks, he'd fuss around and make a lot of noise.

Sleep
Lately he only naps once a day. Usually it'll last for 2-3 hours. So his total sleep time is still the same, 11-12 hours.

Teeth
16 teeth in total.

Verbal
He babbles more this past month. He goes "papapapa" a lot. When he sees PaPa's car driving into the car porch, he'll go to the windows (quite low so he's able to look outside) at the living room and call out "PaPa... PaPa". Sometimes when he hears the door being closed upstairs, he'd call out "PaPa... PaPa" too, even though PaPa's not home then.
He babbles more when he's angry. When he's not happy, he goes "babababa.. jeejeejeejee..", as if scolding people.
Some of his vocabulary (really limited), which may not be right all the time:
papa - father
taataa - Kakak
jeejee - Jie Jie or when he's not happy
bauubauu - want to be carried
tuck - Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck and most things

Mobility
He walks rather steadily now. Can even run already. When playing chasing with jie jie, he'll run and flap his hands like a bird. Such a funny sight.
He's trying to jump. Will bend his knees and push himself up. But his legs doesn't leave the ground and sometimes he loses balance and falls down.
When he's on the trampoline, he tries to jump too. Have to hold his hands and standby in case he falls off. Very dangerous. When XY or I jump next to him on the trampoline, he gets very excited coz he's bouncing as well.
He managed to climb up our bed a few days ago. Our bed with divan is about 2 feet high.

Others
Likes to cover his face with the hanky and walk with his face looking upwards.
Likes to hug his soft toys - puppy, bear, Ernie and even jie jie's doll.
Snatches whatever jie jie's holding. Poor jie jie, she has to give in most of the time.
Sometimes, out of a sudden, he walks to jie jie, knock jie jie's head with a toy or hit jie jie with his hands. What a violent boy!
And he won't bother even if jie jie cry out loud. But when jie jie cries because she got scolded or hurt herself, he'll go hug her.
Likes to play at the curtain. He'll hide behind the sheer and walk forward till his face is unveiled.
Likes to touch the standing fan while it's running. Sometimes he likes to test me, he'll put his hand near the fan and see my reaction.
His bad temper is becoming more prominent. When he doesn't get what he wants, he'll hit the floor/table with his bare hands or throw toys/remote controls. And when his hand hurts because of that, he expects us to sayang him.
