Jevon: Progressing nicely in Bali

Jevon is almost 1.5 years and is progressing nicely. He seems alert, healthy, and likes to climb as any normal kid does. Jevon has a love of water, although when I carry him into the ocean, out of his depth, and a wave goes over his head, he freaks out a bit. In Candi Dasa, Jevon found he enjoyed flushing the toilet, and of course, playing with the shower head. Inside the car, the window control, AC control and gear lever were tops. I’ve got a new appreciation for kids paddling pools. Both Maya and Jevon were excited when they saw the pool in Candi Dasa and happilly splashed around for an hour. Added to that is an awareness of places with a steep drop, since Jevon can now climb stairs and balconies. He can’t open beer bottles yet, which is a relief, but I’m watching.

Since coming back from Java, he has learned to like rice. My mother in law probably shovelled enough of it into him every day, he thinks its air. That’s okay with me, rice is easy to come by and is cheap. Better than him getting a taste for pizza.
