Wow... so after all the downs over the last few weeks it was REALLY great to finally have an "up". We received a wonderful WBC today with great updates on our son. In addition to that, we also received two beautiful new pictures of him. It was amazing to see how much he's grown... like a weed. But even more than him growing was how much his face and features seem to be maturing. All the 'chubby baby goodness' is being aged right out of him, and in its place is blossoming the most adorable little boy.
I am sad to see that little baby face leave. Especially since I never had the chance to caress it or kiss it or pat it dry after a fall leaves it covered in tears. But I am also filled with joy and pride at watching my little man emerge... booming personality and all. :o)
So, without any further delay, here is a brief update on how our son is learning, growing and discovering toddlerhood in Korea:
- He walks... yes, but we already knew this one. :)
- He runs!
- He picks up small objects and throws them. As long as its not food.
- He kicks and throws ball overhead. Hmm... sounds a bit like Pele... or David Beckham!!!
- Likes to jump! Really? On something in particular? Or just "around"? Like Kriss-Kross.
- Walks backwards. So cool. My boy can moonwalk!!!
- Holds on to railing to walk up stairs. Nice! (note to self: buy more gates!)
- Scribbles, or as his auntie the writer said: budding writer!
- Stacks 4 cubes, or as his uncle the engineer said: budding engineer! (really people?!)
- Uses spoon & fork! Yay! Wait... Together??? Now that would be something to see...lol
- Waves bye bye. Awww....
- Drinks from a cup (hopefully a sippy cup and not a margarita glass)
- Has increased his vocabulary and knows how to string two words together. Awesome!
- Washes hands! Good for you kiddo, because we all know grandma's rule about the kitchen.
- Brushes teeth. Nice! Good boy.
- Helps around the house. Now THAT is a neat trick. My husband hopes it means he shovels snow.
NB: The pics have been placed in my album on Facebook.
Please view them there. Thanks! :)
