Justin at just over a year and a half

Justin can now identify mommy, daddy, aunty pina, his hair, nose, mouth, ears, hands, legs, feet, cars, balls, (teddy) bear, bananas, soup, and doors... when he's in the mood, that is! He doesn't speak too many words — just car, ball, [ba]nana, bear-bear (his teddy bear), pear-pear (pear), door, f[i]sh, bu-bu (balloon), da-da (daddy), [mom]mee (or "ma-ma"), and no! Any question you ask him, he'll answer with a firm "no" or "no-no" — even if he really means "yes"! His favorite exclamations were "aiya aiya!" and "batam!". His favorite foods are noodles in soup (Chinese style, Japanese style, or even Campbell's Chicken Noodle), Chinese soups, bananas, papayas, oranges, pears, Goldfish crackers (cheddar cheese flavor), animal crackers, McDonald's french fries, Cheerios, Kix (cereal), and corn flakes. He loves playing with toy cars, phones, and a few stuffed animals. He loves riding in his Little Tikes car, on his 2 "auto-walker" scooters, and on his little tricycle (which his Gung Gung bought him from IKEA). He loves going out in general and enjoys playing with his little friends — Rico, Sydney, and Wei-Wei — in our apartment's kid's playroom.
