Ethan's milestones

Ethan’s language ability has multiplied many folds within the last 3 months. He can conduct simply conversations in proper sentences. He is able to express his emotions and demand for his rights. Occasionally, he still refers to himself as Ethan though he is able to use “I” in most cases.

“Mummy, make milk for me please”
“ I want to watch Barney”
“This is not Barney, this is Dora. I don’t want”
“I want to eat cake and biscuits”
“Ethan want to drink soup”

Etc etc

More surprisingly, he has learnt to count from 1 to 20 and he has a good concept of 1, 2 and 3 numerically. He would make remarks like :

“2 nappies. 1 for jie-jie, 1 for Ethan”
“I have 3 cups”

He knows his body parts very well, so much so that I got a shock when I was changing him on the bed.

Me “ Ethan, stay still. I am changing your diaper now”
Ethan “ Penis. Ethan’s penis. Take out “(while putting his hands into the diaper)

Me “ hahaha. Hey, Ethan! Don’t touch it. Stinky urine!”
( I tried to tickle him so that he would keep his hands to himself. He did retract his hands but only to find another interesting spot)

Ethan “ Mummy, nipples! Ethan’s nipples!” (gagagaga, while giggling and trying to wriggle away from my grip)

I don’t know if this is an indication of early maturity? Ethan has NOT reached 2 years of age just yet, in case you wonder.
