Guess what he did ... ... He opened up the bottle of Ventolin and pour everything out onto the floor ! One thing for sure, he has grown taller. Alot of things are within his reach on the table. Thank god, he did not drink any of it.
Once, I prepared a cup of strawberries in his snack catcher and placed it on the table. I did not know that he could reach as it was pretty far in as I supposed it to be.
I was like .. ehhh .. no sound of Xavier ... and I caught him sitting quietly on the kitchen floor and his hands full of strawberries, happily eating away !!
He has got fantastic memory too ! I knows where is "Junior League" at Suntec. Whenever, I brought him there, no matter how, he will make his way into the shop and starts to dig in the toy box! Best part was, he dug out all the toy cars and trucks or simply toys with wheels !
He can even climb onto some rides by himself !! And will noramally stayed in there till he's satisifed ! Will try to load the pics should I have a chance to invade caca's computer again.He knows how to play peek-a-boo with me too !
He will go and hide in my wardrobe and goes "chiak" when I call out to look for him ! 
Simply filled with loads of expressions too !
Can even pose when gnawing on his bread !
Shall send this in for father and son look alike contest if there is .. heee
Back to Xavier's developments. These are his new physical developments: 1. He is now able to walk up 3 steps up the stairs unassisted when I bring him for walk around the neighbourhood.
2. He is able to stack about 4-5 blocks on his own when I ask him " Xavier, shall we play stack stack"
Feeding:
1. Full straw feeding for milk and other drinks.
2. He prefers to self feed himself when I tends to be "slower". His hands will come grabbing at at the spoon, if I'm fast enough to put the spoon into his mouth, he will let go of his hands and wanted me to feed him instead. But he sures enjoy feeding himself when I bring him for tea, especially when I ordered a slice of cake, specially just for him.
Language: I'm not sure why... he simply just wouldn't want to call "mummy".
1. He attempts to call his daddy and had pronounced it quite accurately and had actually said "papa" after watching on tv how a girl in the show keep calling "papa".
2. He knows how to address his grandmother "ma ma" when asked. (To be frank, I'm a bit sore when he knows how to address his grandmother "ma ma" but the way of addressing is supposed to be for me, who is his mummy and has been taking such good care of him since birth !)
Not that I'm petty, but why teach him this way of addressing ! Isn't the way of addressing grandmother known as "nai nai" or "ah -mah" ?
Anyway, I'm happy on the other hand, because I make sure he addresses his grandmother and he knows how to do it. At least I did not fail here. I'm sure one day, he will call "mummy" when he is ready.
Anyway, in a way I feel special is because Xavier will only come and kiss me voluntarily in the whole household, not even the daddy. As what Jo told me, probably, he feels being "forced" to call me mummy, but he had preferences to each individual. Maybe he prefers to kiss me ! =)
Objects he recognises/words he understands when I tell him (Those in brackets are words that he can say but accuracy is not there yet)

4. Row Row Row your boat - I change the lyrics of this song to (Row, Row, Row your boat. Gently down the stream. If you see a crocodile, don't forget to scream ~ Arrrgh) After the song ended, Xavier will give a little scream ! Probably he understands what is scream. And surprising, he knows the difference wen I sang the song with the original lyrics (... ... Life is bout a dream), he doesn't scream at all.
5. If you're happy - Normally, he will do all the actions when the song is being played. So far he knew how to clap his hand, stamp his feet and swing his arms.
6. Shake your sillies - Will normally do all the actions up till the yawning part where he pretends to yawn by covering his mouth)
Best was, two days ago I tried to hum the tune of the songs above and he can name them with the actions or words he knew.
Actions/ reaction when I ask him simple questions or request him to do it:
1. When I finish singing a song to him, he will applaude for me !
