16 months today

Jasper is now 16-months old. I have since lost count of how old he was. I used to meet other mothers whose babies were around 13 months to 15 months old when Jasper was less than 1 year and I thought their babies were so much older. Jasper appears to be 'younger' than most of other 16-month-old babies. I have just realised he has stopped chewing/eating books for a little while.

He says 'bye-bye' and waves his arm at the same time when someone leaves the house or when the door closes on him. He seems to have increased awareness of things and continues to understands more new words. His babblings still sound very complex and uncomprehenable, he asks for grapes and milk 'nai-nai'. He crawls up and downs stairs and manages to walk upstairs when holding onto the handrail. He also says 'mine mine'. He can fetch things when ask him to. Can climb up and down the highchair!
