theo at 20 months: walking-talking

the last time i blogged about theo 'fears' were hounding me as i was quite worried of possible developmental delays since he wasn't yet walking and talking then. but as i believed, theo was only taking a slow but sure pace and he will walk and talk when he's ready... and that's what he did. at 17 months, we saw theo trying to do few small steps. days after, the few small steps became steady and confident and he was already striding inside our room but only for a short moment. it was inside the playroom in hamilo coast when jude and i confirmed to ourselves that "hey, theo is really walking now" as he crossed the big room by just using his feet.

 

now, at 20 months, theo is already unstoppable and he'd move around whenever he likes it.

 

 

 

it was only recently that we realized that theo was already talking. funny that i even expressed my worries to his pedia whom we visited for theo's booster shot one month ago. i never knew that theo's mumbling sounds already have meanings. haha. he calls inigo "ya" for kuya; "ghe" for she or sheryl, our househelp; "dhack" for duck and its sound is "dhack-dhack"; '"bibe" for baby; to name a few. now i just have to wait for him to string words together. i hope it's soon.

 

 

and what do you know... theo is one uber-jealous baby! i can't hug nor lean on his daddy when he's around or else he'll scream on top of his lungs. i also can't hug nor make lambing to inigo or he'll hit his old brother. he also has mood swings now. he's not always ready to give his smile, which was so unlikely of him. if he doesn't like to give the  kiss or embrace that our relatives are asking from him, he'll say "no!" and turn his back...   the baby has an attitude, a feisty attitude that is. :)

even his relationship with his big brother has now become 'sweet and sour'. they love to play together but give them a couple of minutes and they're already at war. it's usually because they're fighting over the same toy and this gives theo the reason to hit again his kuya for the latter is not giving in. *sigh*

 

 

it's probably because he copies everything that his kuya does that's why i find theo mature for his age. he usually doesn't want to be left behind - if inigo can do it, so can theo, too! hehe. he now wants to feed himself, read... err, pretend to read books, play with his kuya inigo's toys or games, and play with the gadgets in our house. which amazed me as he really knew how to operate them. :D
