Cruising
Ethan's now a pro in cruising. Cruising in baby term means that he's able to walk around holding onto things such as furniture. We don't dare to put him on the floor to cruise, so we just put him in the crib. And he will pull himself up holding on the bars, and then he'll walk around. He even got enough energy to stand up just propping himself against the wall. And yes, he could navigate a little bit, slowly and cautiously. I guess it's pretty quick as average babies do that in their 10th month.Two days before, Mund's ex-colleague came to visit us. Mund had to go to work, so when I said 'us' that means Ethan and I. Both of them are moms. L's son is amost 2 years old and E's son was born 2 weeks later than Ethan. But sadly, they send their babies back to Malaysia so that they could continue working here. At first, I thought Ethan would have some playmates.
Anyway, they invited us to join them for an outing. First, we went to a restaurant in east side of Manhattan where E's hubby (D) work as a head chef for a sushi place. The restaurant is rather small, but chic. And ohh...the sushi was delightful. Even Mund's restaurant doesn't serve such fresh and delicious fish. This is the second time I've tried D's, and both time had been very enjoyable. Ethan sit at a high chair and enjoy his own finger foods while once in a while he would try to grab our food or drink. We were there for quite a while, so later on, he got tired of just sitting there. E offered to carry him and walk around outside. Later on even D carry him. I guess both of them miss their son a lot, although they tried denying it. They said almost everyday they could see their child on webcam. But of course, what's better than flesh and blood. Furthermore their baby is almost as big as Ethan. At first, when E and I was pregnant, her date due was suppose to be earlier than mine.
Then later on, we went to Lincoln Center. Some event was going on, as there were live latin music. Not only that, a lot of people were salsa-ing in the open. It's a very refreshing sight. This sort of things would never happen in Malaysia for sure. And this would be the things I will miss most about US when we go back for good.

why E's why D's .. so misterious eh .. of course they missed lah ... if i'm the mom of the baby .. i sure tak sampai hati leave my baby to others .. hehe .. anyway .. maybe i can see ah jie performe a 'latin dance' someday hor .. yay!
I'm not sure if I should use their names here, cause I didn't consult them that I would be blogging about them. And I rather not change their names...so just put initials enough.
live event - was it the "Fete de la Musique"? Something like live band & performers along the street thingy? coz it should be happening in more than 120 countries on 21st of June (appreciation of art) and we had it in Malaysia on 18th & 19th (tho of course not as grand la).. and Malaysia way of having it was not really along the street but with set-up-stage, and people sitting in their chairs (not dancing)..
wish I can see it myself!
Well, you can go and show people to dance instead of sitting their ass flat. Haha!
