Mummy...I'm Fine!

after a week of not eating, lying down, watching the tv with a swollen eye...amir's finally up and about. first thing hubby and i did was take him to the park. get him to exercise his legs. when he was under the weather, he didnt walk much - no energy, obviously. so his walking went back to stage 1, where he'd wobble about and fall down after 1 or 2 steps.

on sunday we took him to the football field. hubby wanted to see the game (while reminiscing his 'glory days'). at the same time, we let amir step on the grass. its softer so it'll give him the confidence to walk again. ever since then, he's been walking non-stop. he reminds us of 'kevin davies' since he walk like the 'mendada' idiot (we dont like him!). he's also a bit like mr bean, how he'd walk with his back straight, trying to control his balance.

got this in the mail today. i love getting development updates from babycentre & pampers as i can compare to amir's development and see if he's on track. of course, i know that i cant push him to be on par with the updates that i receive as each baby develop in their own special way. but sometimes, its nice to go...omigod, so THAT's why he does that. anyway, today's email goes like this..."Wherever you are and whatever you're doing, your toddler is always keen to go and explore his surroundings. Like a little wind-up toy, as soon as his feet touch the ground, he's off! At this age, children are constantly testing their abilities, climbing onto furniture, opening doors and cupboards, squeezing themselves into corners and getting stuck. At home, keep a regular check on your little one's whereabouts, especially when all goes suspiciously quiet! This usually indicates that baby's found something new and fascinating to do, and it could lead to trouble, or in the very least result in a big mess!" And this is what amir does when he's gone all quiet in the room. he'd push the laundry basket upright & would sit there with his keekae, watching elmo's world.
