My First Steps…

One of the exercise regimes Papa is making me go through everyday is my walking steps. What happens is that Papa will be in a sitting position where he will carry me to ‘stand’ in front of him.

As if by instinct, I will ‘walk’ or rather climb on Papa – one foot at a time, all the way up his belly. Sure is fun but I’m not sure if he will allow me to continue this exercise after I can walk properly on my own…hee!

Yes Sir Yes Sir, Two Bags Full...

Had my last checkup (and more jabs! sigh) last weekend and found that during the weigh in, I have crossed the 7kg mark! Wee!

However doc said I am still a little below the average mark so I might need to buck up or perhaps fatten up a bit more. I am growing longer too, which may explain the challenge for my tummy to catch up. Hee!

Anyway, just for comparison purposes, any adult that carries me now would be equivalent to carrying two 3.5kg bags of dry dog food. :-P

Of Stickers and Sprays

Papa and Mama knows how much I dislike those flying needles so they are trying out several defense mechanisms against these pesky little things.

One item that they tried was a cute little round sticker that had some smell that would apparently fend off those flying needles. This was also quite simple to use as it would be placed on me when I’m sleeping. And since I sleep on my front, it would be safe from my curious hands too as the sticker is usually stuck on my back or bum. Sure hope the smell works and not become a homing target for those needles!

The other method is a type of natural spray of sorts which has a liquid that is more fragrant than the sticker. Since it is not supposed to be harmful, this spray is applied on my clothes, cot, mattress, etc. Problem of it being so fragrant is that although it deters the needles from coming close, I’m not sure if it attracts anything else or not….

Tuesday Teaser: Why Did Baby Collin Cross The Road?

See if anyone can attempt a crack at my little brain teaser of the day? Hee!

Scroll down for answer….



















Answer(highlight over for answer): To get to his sleep on the other side. Geddit?

Before I drift off to sleep, I will perform my neck flips left and right, repeatedly, to find the best position to sleep. This is done in sync with my back leg lifts and the speed of which I do those neck flips is like what adults do when they want to cross the road. Geddit now? Hee!

Understanding Standing

Well, the ability to stand may be still a long way to go for me, but I got a free preview of what it felt like already. You see, the mattress which I am usually laid down to roll, crawl, sleep, etc. in the hall is propped up against the sofa, which forms some kind of barricade of sorts for my safety, apparently.

Anyway, whenever I crawl to the end, ie when my head bangs the sofa, I have learnt to use both my (ahem!) strong arms to push my body up to a standing position. So far, I think I can stand in this position for a some 30 seconds, before my legs give way and I drop in exhaustion onto the mattress.

When my strength comes back, I will get up and do it again! Why? Because standing sure is fun! Hee!

Cycling

This is yet another form of exercise that has been keeping me fit so far. And another addition of course, to my upcoming baby video exercise. :-p I call it Cycling!

Yup, with my two active legs free to swing whenever I am carried to be fed or bathed or having a clean-up after a poop, I engage into my cycling mode. Hee! Sure is fun for me but maybe the adults are getting more exercise when I do mine! :-D
