this week Stephen added on some new phases which we hear him use.

hold my hand - that when we walk together and he want his hand to be held
put me down - after i carry him up on air, he love me but he is getting heavier and i am beginning to "struggle" to carry him up.

he still like to use single "noun" or "verb" so now we will slow down to respond when single word is given and faster when the phase is said. i think he is figuring out that our responses to him works this way.

btw i think he can say Mandarin better. not too sure is it bec of the way the sound is made. now i will also say the phase in English than in Chinese and ofter he will repeat and the chinese sound comes out much clearer. interesting. i also realised we much speak slower and clearer to him. first that helps him to process what he heard also bec he look at the lip, so i think he can see the movement clearer and help him to copy it in the vocal movement thus producing the correct sound.

he is also beginning to respond correctly to word request these days.

open the door - for car and house
wear your sandals
come with me
good bye
