Makeshift Cot

Now with my crawling speed picking up and my tendency to try to hoist myself up stand, it has become almost imperative that all mattresses, cots, beds, etc. that I ‘m put in must be immediately barricaded like I’m some sort of wild animal.

Here is an example of our guest room bed being barricaded into a makeshift cot for my Sunday afternoon nap.

What next? Six sides of steel?!!!

Cleopatra

Whenever I crawl and get tired, I will tend to pause for a while, support myself with one of my arms, and scan the surroundings for things to grab or put into my mouth. This act of resting has caught much attention. I wasn’t sure why at first.

I actually thought my pose was original until many people started to comment that my pose was similar to a lady called Cleopatra. I heard that she too has many people tending to her, feeding her, cleaning her, etc.

Hmmm. Maybe this pose does have its benefits! :-D

Football Foto Friday

Here’s proof that Papa is training me up from young to be the next football superstar…see determined and focussed I am in training...hee!

Cap’n Collin

Papa and Mama always has a cap for me packed in my travel bag in case it gets cold but so far, I have not worn it. Maybe my hair is sufficient to keep me brain warm. Hee!

Anyway, the other day, Papa and Mama just wanted to see how cute I will look with my cap, so here I am, posing with Papa with my cap on, for the very first time!

Back Where I All Started

Two weekends ago, my memories of my introduction to the world was re-lived when Papa and Mama took me back to Hospital Pantai Indah. But it was no social visit though, mind you.

You see, Ah Por suspected that I may be tongue-tied - some occurence that may have risk of the child not being able to pronounce words properly when they're older. She said the 'W' shape of my tongue is an indication. Papa and Mama got another confirmation during my last visit to my doc, who in turn referred an ENT specialist to check.

So there I was, back in the Hospital where I was born. In the end, the ENT Doc confirmed that I was in fact tongue tied, and advised for a minor surgery to be performed to 'release' it. Doc also said besides the W indicator, most tongue-tied babies also tend to have more saliva because of iniability to control some gland thingy....ahhh...that might explain why it seemed that I was already starting to teeth at 2 months!

I counted that the doc only ENTertained us for no more than 10 minutes, and the bill came up to about RM125! Must be good becoming an ENTertainment doctor I guess. *jots down in career of choice notebook*

Stay tuned for updates as Papa and Mama needs to plan when best to bring me in for the tongue releasing session.

Will I be more talkative then?
Will I be able to taste more things then?
I can't wait to find out too!

Mystery of the Shrinking Towels

I have noticed lately that my bath towels have started to shrink. Sometimes to the extent that two towels may be used to dry me up after my bath. Seems like a real mystery to me. I’m quite sure I only put them into my mouth but I still don’t have enough teeth to eat them! Anyway, I hope Papa and Mama is also noticing this mysterious occurrence.

Not sure if they are connected, but I also noticed some of my clothes are also starting to shrink as well. Hmmmm…

Spoon Tasting

With my set of fangs, erm..teeth starting to grow, I think it is only fair for me to train them up so that they are prepared for harsher meals ahead. Heh.

So, apart from the softie teethers, towels, hankies, diapers, Papa, Mama, etc. and anything else that I can get my hands on, I have also started on my own form of solids, ie. toy keys, toy piano, etc.

And since I will be using spoons in the future, I have also started training feeding on spoons too. Hey, I believe you need to taste if something is OK before you use it right? Hee!
