1st year Assessment

Last nite, we brought Nicky for his 1 year assessment.

1 yr old ~
Date: 6 Feb 2009
Weight: 10.5 kg
Length: 76 cm
Head Circumference: ? cm
On the hold, he is 75% above average at this stage.

Dr Tan oso assessed a few things and I am able to give a firm answer to these;

• He can only walk when supported.
• He releases his hands when he is standing and can stand w/o any support for a few sec.
• He can stride from left to right.
• He points to the direction he wants to go or at something he wants to get.
• He can drink from a straw.
• He can pick things up with his thumb & index finger.
• He knows how to put food/biscuits in his mouth.
• He can chew rice :) w/o any back teeth (dr says that shows that he has got active gum/oral/jaw action)
• He can say a few things and associate them with the actual thing such as Bye-Bye, mum-mum (food & not mummy)
• He can oso obey to simple commands, such as pressing the buttons on his ride when we take our lil'strolls in the evening at the park.
• He can pass and give us any item that he is holding and smile after that.
• Oh yes! Ah dee even told dr Tan that nicky oso responds to the command: "give mummy a kiss" :)

awwwWW.............

dr Tan oso confirmed that at this age, they are throwing LOTSA things on the floor and I added Yes, almost everything! :)

Nothing more that i can remember that she asked cos she said that she will go into details in the 15mth assessment which will be in May.
Nicky was given his chicken pox & 1st pneumococcal vaccine. dr Tan also told us to monitor for fever for both this and next weekend.
(I'm seriously keeping my fingers cross!) cos we wanna attend 2 birthdays for both this and next weekend!!!
