- STRAWBERRY -
We took Tao to the markets, went to the stall we
always go to. The stall people there love him, and one of the ladies
gave him a strawberry. I bit the bottom off it and he noticed me eating
it, so opened his mouth and leaned forward. I held it out for him and
he got into chewing on it.
We wandered around the markets with me
holding the strawberry and him holding onto my hand, chewing on this
strawberry. It was cold so probably nice on his teething gums. It was a
decent sized strawberry, about THIS big *holds up finger and thumb* :P
Yes. Decent size. People were commenting on the size of this
strawberry. He ate half of it. We walked up the other end of the
markets to buy meat and fish, then returned to collect our vegetables.
On the way back he seemed to have lost interest in the strawberry, so I
decided to finish it off. He saw me eating it and decided he was
interested in it again.
I'd neatened up the eaten edge with my
teeth (he'd left mush coz he only has two teeth), and he bit into it and
made his own cute little bite mark with his two cute little tooths. I
think I melted at the sight of the bite mark. Yeh I know I suck.
I
ended up finishing the strawberry and throwing the stalk away. Now I
know what to give him as a snack, once I get a bib on him. Might have
to put a bib on him to trek to the markets as well seeing as they keep
trying to give him fruit every week :)
- STEPS -
Rightio,
Tao can't actually crawl properly, though he started early being the
impatient little baby that he is. He can sort of squirm around when he
puts his mind to it, but he's more interested in trying to walk. He's
already knocked his head once on the floor coz he stiffened up while
falling backwards instead of just sitting. He hangs onto things and
he's taken a few tottering steps clinging to my hands. He has sads if
he gets put on his tummy when he wants to walk and he can't get himself
into and out of sitting even though he sits fine, which means he can't
sit up to pull himself up even though he has a lot of pulling power.
Talk about impatient, sounds like he's going to be like both his parents
o_O
Ehh he'll get there however :)
- SWEET TALK -
Bubbi's
figured out how to whisper :) It's the cutest thing listening to him
whispering "teh teh teh teh teh teh teh". After changing his nappy for
the second time (seems like the bloody rare steak I had for dinner gave
him the runs) we had a whispering conversation. He never fails to amaze
me, but I'm biased when I think that he is the cutest baby in the
world.
It's also the end of an era so to speak for us, we have
officially turned his car seat around. He was starting to get a bit
long to remain rearward facing. And we figured seeing as he has a
pretty strong neck and can sit unassisted (til he decides to attempt to
go somewhere and flops over).
If I seem somewhat disjointed it's
coz there's some weird fluff on TV, and I know for a fact that TV
damages brains coz I can feel my IQ dropping a few notches as it
progresses. Considering I don't have much to begin with this is A Very
Bad Thing.
Nyeh :)
