An Exciting Week

Just when everybody awaits anxiously for Matty to take his first step... he has actually made a lot of progress unknowingly. In a span of one week, he is able to indicate his age when asked by showing a big "one" with his forefinger... comb his hair (or at least the action of) when given a comb... and do the hand-washing motion. Just last evening, he mimicked the bombing sound when the ships in Pirates of the Caribbean were bombed when the movie was screened on tv. This morning he kept doing it over and over again. It is a no wonder some parents refuse to let their children have the tv for fear of picking up things they are not suppose to.

But probably the most exciting thing to Matty is that he finally gets to eat the same stuff that adults eat. No more bland and blended food. We had Japanese last Saturday and tim sum on Sunday. Fingers cross that the food consumed will not throw his digestive system out of whack. At least now we can keep him seated for the first half of the meal. It was quite a chore having to keep walking him around all the time. There was almost no way to glue him to the seat especially with the grandparents around. The other thing is that it is now so much easier to manage time when we don't have to worry about preparing food beforehand for Matty or making sure that he gets his lunch or dinner at home.

And now back to the issue of when he is going to start walking... =p
