of milestones and snails...

Ah Shawn Celebrated his First CNY this year and I think he grabbed to concept of CNY pretty well. Every time he is handed an Ang Pow he will grab it and hold on to it. I mean for a kid, isn’t that the most important thing about CNY J

Since it has been a while that I updated about the little boy, lemme capture a few milestones that he has hit.
His firth tooth is beginning to appear. And along with that is all the crying and wailing. Speaking of that I need to make a note to record down his wails, because this boy can really shout and in a high pitch too. So I guess he is primed to be one of those American Idol preliminary contestants who goes up to the audition and shout the whole song out.
Like Ah Fie, Ah Shawn is also starting to discover that he has toes and beginning to try to put them into his mouth. Probably a good thing, at least train him to be limber and flexible. A little stretching is good I guess.
The boy is also learning to crawl, although not very successfully, he will climb up on all fours and try to move. But most of the time he will just end up stuck in that position because he didn’t know what is the next ting to do after that. Or at times he will try to push with his feet while his head is planted onto the ground, something like how those drunk drivers trying to get up in COPS. Anyway, I think before time he will soon get the hang of it.
On a related development, our little boy also have this tendency to slobber everything with his saliva, even when he have nothing in his mouth he will have saliva all over. I think probably related to his attempt to learn to move around. I mean, snails excrete those mucus to help them slide to where ever they fancy, so probably Ah Shawn have picked up this technique from some animal planet show or something. Which reminds me that probably I should not let him watch any of those shark related documentaries now that he is teething and all…
Oh yaa, one more thing that I really like about Ah Shawn is that this guy really loves to laugh and smile. And not just those snide ‘I only smile at you because I want to give you face and I am still relying on you for continuous supply on milk’ smile. He has one of those genuine hearty silly faced smile that will brighten up your day.

So that’s pretty much about it for Ah Shawn for now.
