Rocking Fella
Nowadays Ethan can sit pretty well by himself without support. Not only he likes sitting, he loves rocking himself as though he's sitting on a rocking chair. Backward, forward, backward, and forward he goes. It's quite a funny sight, cause it's rather humorous to see a baby doing that. At times he will stretch both his hands far out on and he looks like a 't' sign and continues to rock. Can you imagine that?These few days I tried teaching Ethan to grab small objects on his palm. The book says that he should be able to do that at this age. Instead of letting him try grabbing on raisin or pea (not available in our house), we let him try on m&m milk chocolate. One have to say that the size is almost the same right? Besides, it's so much more colorful.
The first day, instead of taking the m&m from my hand, he tried grabbing my hand closer and closer to his mouth. Of course, that will never work, as I'm stronger than he is. Not to say that he's not strong, cause when he pinches you, you'll go 'OUCH!'. Just ask Mund about how Ethan pinch him on his nipple. Ouch! (Mund surely will scold me for posting this)
Ok, back to m&m. Yesterday, he start to flap 'em around with his hands and before we know it. He took one in his hand, and then two at the same time, and then a whole bunch! Wow, talking about big progress. Of course we monitor him,so that he will not place those chocolates in his mouth. Mund was naughty, he tried luring Ethan with a red m&m, holding it close to Ethan's face. My baby is so clever, he start the rocking thing again. Rock, rock,rock, POP! Waaaaa! It's inside his mouth already!!! We panic, and after like 5 seconds only Mund started to dig inside his mouth. Luckily it flew out without Ethan choking. Phew! What a close call.
I wonder what goes inside Ethan's mind. It must have been like... Daddy gimme chocolate, hmm...yummy, ouch, Ouch, OUCH. Hey, chocolate's gone!!
