Bed Testing

TEMPUR found a new model. Immediately when I put Dan down, he lied down to test the pillow and loved it. Usually he hates being in that position especially when he is awake and we have to change his diapers. Maybe Tempur should produce changing tables or mattresses for baby cots?

I Like to Ride My Bicycle, I Love to Ride My Bike

Dan was trying along the way to see past his dad's butt. However, he failed to do so. So the best way was to turn and look behind instead. By doing so, he got tired and finally fell asleep.

Little Dan starting young.

Baby Steps: Dan's Little Girl Friend

We were at the indoor play ground today. Little Dan had lots of fun playing in the ball pool, with the slides, and crawling around the obstacle course. Even better, he found little friends of his size and age. Curious enough, that motivated him to take more steps as well. He saw this little girl who was 2 months older toddling around and tried to show off what he could do.

I initially wanted to just take a video of him playing at the playground with other kids. However, to my surprise, Dan decided to walk towards the little girl instead.

First Steps

Closing in to his first birthday, little Dan has been attempting to take his first steps. He can now toddle one or two at a go before sitting down. Great achievement after practising for more about half a year standing and cruising.

Climbing

Little Dan is quite a climber now. He is able to climb the whole fleet of stairs and also climb down with minimal help. He can also climb down from the bed by turning his back and landing on his feet first instead of his head.

It is amazing how much he has grown to be aware of his surroundings -- that he uses his feet to touch lower ground first before climbing down.

Musically Inclined?

Dan has been instinctively grooving when music is being played. I wonder whether this is in born in all babies.

Waving Ta-Ta

Have not been posting anything for the past one month due to travels and little Dan has learnt so much. I would not actually say learnt.

I feel that he has been just absorbing and waiting for a time to burst out his knowledge. I guess all babies are like that -- just absorbing everything around them and not showing it until they have the opportunity to do so. 

Little Dan started waving a few months back, now he is interacting and letting us know that he understands when people part, we wave -- that I believe is not only a trick to wave but understanding the context of social behaviour.
