Vai: 14 months
Vai likes to copy what Anya does.
He INSISTS that he gets a toothbrush after he’s done with his shower. So that when Anya stands on her toilet stool to brush her teeth, he TOO has one in his mouth.
He likes to climb up the same toilet stool, stand holding onto the basin and try to turn on the tap. Just like his sister.
He does a ‘high five’, says thank you by nodding (more like ‘jerking’ his head forward!) and wipes his face with his hand when I turn on the shower above his head at bathtime.
When we reach home and have taken his shoes off, he’d place his socks into his shoes, pick them up, place them into his shoe compartment and close it.
He’s got quite a mind of his own. He can be friendly and smiley to everyone. BUT he can also refuse to be nice (no smile, no handshake, no high five) and just look away (while making a quick grunt!) IF he chooses to.
He (still) needs to be constantly distracted during mealtimes. Especially during formula feeding (in order for him to open his mouth and for me to squirt drops of formula into it).
He’s (still very much) into breastfeeding. He can force himself to stay awake way past his usual nap time, if not breastfed.
He can go to bed (night time only) WITHOUT breastfeeding since mid August.
He sleeps for about 10 hours throughout the night, wakes up at about 6am asking to be breastfed and goes back to sleep.
He’s 11,4 kg.
