Ry's First at Brushing Teeth

Yeh! Finally, Ry has enough teeth for brushing. Now, he has 4 upper and 4 lower front teeth and 2 upper and 2 lower molars. I have no idea why he skipped his incisors as he got his molars first. Haven't checked whether this is the correct sequence of teeth budding!

Here's a shot of Ry brushing his teeth on Friday night after we got him a toothbrush during our post Christmas shopping! I've already delegated this "body maintenance" job to daddy as I'm in charge of other jobs like clipping his nails.


For all of you friends who have following my blog, one thing that is always associated with Ry is "slow". He's slow in getting his first tooth (only at 13 mths for first one and subsequently one tooth per month), slightly slower in learning to walk (started walking at 14.5 mths) and he's slow in learning to speak (can only say "ball", "papa", "mama" and "bo" for car horns up till now at 21 mths). Sigh .......!

As mentioned in my earlier blogs, the only thing he's better at is dancing and balancing. But recently, he has learned to sing. Not really real singing lah, but more like humming to my lullaby at night. So he will go "er........." to my tune. It is funny that he's embarrassed of humming in front of K so K has to secretly listen to his humming outside our room. Seems like Ry is more musical than his mommy and daddy :)

I'm definitely not complaining here or worried about his supposedly "slower" development measured by the common yardstick! In fact, both K and I are pretty glad that he remains more like a baby and often makes us laugh with some of his babyish ways. We are also thankful of the possible slower onset of the terrible 2 toddler phase. So friends, don't worry about us!
