Jeddy Walks
And so Jeddy's toddler days have officially begun... Heh heh... Love how he holds out his right hand for balance.
By the way, Jeddy boy finally wised up and learned how to clap. ;)

No more?
Here's Jeddy feeling very pleased with himself for being able to switch on the light... and then showing 'no more' when he doesn't manage to get it back on. :)
I only managed to capture his 'no more' sign once here. The night before, he was having such a good time practicing his new found skill. :) Yep... this is Jeddy's first hand sign. My attitude boy is still taking his own sweet time learning how to wave goodbye and clap. ;)
He also uses this sign when the crackers in his bowl are all gone, followed by dumping the bowl in front of my face, asking for more.
Since then, he's also learnt how to point at things -- with all 5 fingers! Haha! Whenever I carry him, he'll direct me here and there with a wave of his hand and a curt 'eh'.
How convenient. Then I realized one thing.... Jeddy only learns the signs which are of use to him!!! No more = more biscuits in the bowl. Pointing = get transported to desired destination.
What can I say?
*shake head* *shake head*

Inventing His Own Games...
I wish I could take a trip into Jeddy's mind just to take a peek at what goes on in there. For most of his toys, apart from playing with them the way they ought to be played with, he usually takes them one step further with his self-invented games.
He's especially smitten with balancing items over the edge of the table. Using his fingers, he'd slowly inch the item closer and closer to the edge till it hangs over precariously. The game ends when the item falls to the floor.
And then there's this ball-popper machine which he got from his PoPo for his birthday. Little balls roll down a ramp and shoots out of a chute. Lately, he's been jamming the chute with everything he could find. One morning I found the chute filled to the brim with an assortment of play blocks, plastic fruits and even a pill box! And if that's not enough, there was a book perched right on top of it! My little joker is secretly conducting his own science experiments behind my back...
Loving all oddly shaped items, he would also go flat onto the floor and analyze how each item roll, tip, and topple. The best thing is he looks so serious while being totally absorbed in his little world of child's play...
Cute.
Anyway, having grown bored lately with putting in and taking plastic balls out of a little plastic basin during his baths, he had come up with another game for them. Rolling them off the edge of his bathtub!
Welcome to Jeddy's world!

Hug Hug Hug!
Maybe you've already noticed.... that Jeddy boy loves to hug...
If he comes across anything soft and furry in his path, he'll not let it go without a hug..... and a slobbery kiss... All softies in the house carry the 'Jeddy-scent', which basically, is dried-up saliva. ;D
Hugging his Pooh Bear and dragging it wherever he goes at 10 months...
His favourite cushion with a picture of a mouse underneath. He'll go looking for it if you ask him where it is, and upon finding it, give a shriek of excitement and bury his face in it. :)
Not a moment wasted even during a snack. Here's his simple algorithm. Take a bite, hug till swallowed. Take a bite, hug till swallowed... Repeat till snack is finished.
*Aww........*
And by the way, I love the Jeddy-scent. Mm-mmmm...
;D
