A trip to Dr. Spencer
Date: 02/09/2009
Appointment: 1:45PM
Ethan had his 2nd shot of Hepatitis vaccine this afternoon. I went home early to pick up and he was still sleeping when i arrived home. I held him in my arms and he opened his eyes and put away his pacifier and with his gently voice he said: mommy. It was always nice to hear him say mommy.
We drove to Kaiser Hospital and it was raining hard. We checked in and not long, Ethan's name was called. The nurse took his weight, height and head measurements. I demonstrated each tasks so he would follow me and cooperated with the nurse. And he did.
At 20 months and 15 days, here's the result:
Weight: 32 lbs
Height: 34 inches.
Then, we entered Dr. Spencer's room and Ethan said: "no...no..." and he made a u-turn, trying to get out of the room. I realized then that he recogniced the place and he understands that this place is no fun.
Dr. Spencer came in and checked Ethan's ears, eyes and mouth and he cooperated very well. Good job, Ethan. He only cried when he got his shot, but no more than 5 seconds. Dr. Spencer didn't give him any tylenol since he didn't have any fever on his last shot (when he was 12 months old). And everything is fine and healthy, and Ethan responded well to Dr. Spencer's instructions.
We thank God for all Ethan's growth and progress that he's had.

Celebrating Angel's Purnomo 1st Birthday
Ethan loved the arcade games, especially the ones that involve playing with balls and car steering. But, he was scared seeing Mr. ChuckeCheese though.

What Ethan learns from Mommy and Me Class
Ethan loves music very much, ever since he was little. He dances when he hears music. And he says "nyanyi" when he wants to hear some music.
After attending mommy and me class for 1 month (no absence yet), Ethan was able to do the following:
1. Jump (lifting his both legs at the same time). He enjoys jumping so much now. He can even jump 1 step down.
2. Ethan can recognize the songs that he's been learning in his class, such as: row row your boat, itsy bitsy spider, our regular absent song & the Freeze.
Row-Row your boat.
When he hears this song, he sits down and grabs our hands, and start rowing back and forth. He loves the fast speed.
Itsy Bitsy Spider
He puts his tiny fingers together. That's all he does now.
Mommy and Me absent song.
It goes like this: Ethan's here today...Ethan's here today. Let's clap our hands and sing...Ethan's here today. While the teacher sings that song, Ethan needs to stand in front of the class and jumps until the song's over. This is how he learned how to jump. Ethan does not only jump when his name was called, but also when the teacher calls up his friends. He just gets so excited when he hears this song.
The Freeze
Ethan learned this song from our church nursery. He can stop when he hears the word "freeze" and move when the song is back on. He even gets ready to stop before he hears the word "freeze". That's how familiar he is with this song.

New vocab at 17 months old
Ethan has been talking a lot. He just repeats what we say in his version of language, baby talk. One vocabulary that he learned is "mana" (indonesian language). He learned that word from playing Ci Luk Ba (pee-ka-boo) with mommy. Here it goes:
Mommy: ethan...mommy mana? then mommy runs and hides
Ethan...mana?....mana???
Mommy: mommy mana?
Ethan: mana??? mana???
And now, when we ask him to look for his toys or papi/nai-nai/mommy, he goes: mana? mana?
Mommy: ethan...mommy mana? then mommy runs and hides
Ethan...mana?....mana???
Mommy: mommy mana?
Ethan: mana??? mana???
