Uploaded pix for Joel at 16 months below...This weekend, Joel has also taken a few steps on his own (from the distance of 25cm to 70cm), and can sometimes stand unsupported on his feet for pretty long (about 2 mins).
Joel is fussing a lot now when we're eating outside. He makes so much noise we've finally given in to him (when the baby biscuits dont work anymore). On Saturday, i finally used the small pair of scissors i put inside his lunch bag. He ate some soup fishball noodles (guo-tiao tang). (I've actually been waiting for this day! Haha!)
I started to use the new 330ml Avent milk bottle on Joel too. He's been drinking from his usual 260ml milk bottle, + 20/30ml more. Filled to the brim (after i dissolve the milk powder). Lately, he's been crying for more after he finishes the milk. But he's always alright after a while...so i didnt want to open the new milk bottle becoz it looks so big - even though it's only 70ml more. (It was more of a stand-by bottle. Just in case.)
Daddy Elvis also snipped the teat of Joel's pacifier. True enough, Joel didnt want the spoilt pacifier. We kept 1 pacifier intact - to soothe him when he wants to sleep. (Elvis very blur as always. Instead of cutting off the tip of the teat "horizontally", he cut it "vertically". Fortunately it still "works" although i'm afraid Joel's tongue will get caught in between. Ouch!)
Mommy sometimes likes to bite Joel's things eg. his clothes, his Bear-Bear (instead of clenching my teeth or biting the real baby). On Sunday morning, i bit Joel's sweater...thinking it's the sleeves...but he cried...and then i realized it's his hand!!! There was my 2 teeth marks, and it was red (looked like blood underneath his skin). I felt sooooo terrible it was like a piece of my flesh came off! Joel was alright after a short while and he didnt even fuss over it after that. Still, i feel very bad about it. :_(
Actually, i'm also pretty sure Joel "knows" the meaning of these (new) words...coz sometimes i hear him say them and it's right - at that point of time.
Nine (for 9)
Bluu (for blue)
Nana (for banana)
Boo (for cow)
"EIEIE" (Old Macdonald song EIEIO)
Daddi, Dada (for Daddy)
Nine Nine (for Goodnight)
.

And those he already know are Mama, Car-Car, Bear-Bear, Star, Socks, Shoes.

He taps the items on the 'Number Book' and pretends to count.
He appears to be "talking" to us sometimes.
He loves to laugh - esp with Daddy, and when he's being tickled.
He sways his body and butt (front & back) and nods his head when he listens to music (when seated).
Joel is just getting cuter & cuter!
We love him so much. ;)

I don't bite Tricia's thigh, I only use my lips to squash it.. hahahahaha...
Bring Joel's fav toy when out. Useful when they fuss.
Joel drinks alot of milk!!!!!
Tricia is only drinking 210ml max.. maybe Joel needs more solid food too.
Yes, we used to bring his toys every time...but now it doesnt work. So we switched to biscuits. Now, the biscuits dont always work either. :/
His 2 meals of porridge a day is not enough? (plus morning & bedtime 260ml milk) Coz he eats whatever amounts he want now. When he doesnt want it anymore, i dont force him too.
Well Done, Joel! I think he can walk real soon! Congrats!
