We found the perfect sized shopping cart for Adrian at Pottery Barn Kids. Here he is having a ball pushing his shopping cart around with his little sheep friend as his passenger.
Lately, Adrian has grown more comfortable walking when supported by a stable object -- whether it's a walker, the sofa or our hands. He also isn't afraid to walk towards us, but usually falls on his butt after 5-6 steps. Occassionally, he can reach 10-11 steps before his bottom drops to the ground. We try to encourage him to be on his feet when he's in the mood to be "adventurous", hoping that he'll soon be walking and not so dependent on us carrying him around -- we're also mindful of the "fun" challenges that lies ahead with a toddler in the house!
We met up with my brother's family at The Junglein Campbell back in July when they were running a Summer promotion allowing kids free admittance after 4PM. The three little monkeys (I mean, boys) had fun chilling in the ball pit and wandering aimlessly around the giant obstacle course. If you're looking to sweat out, here's the place to do it! It was an unusually warm afternoon and being inside a room filled with kids and not much ventilation resemble that of a sauna! :)
I'm not growing! No, this is NOT the reason why I'm crying. I woke up from my afternoon nap not long ago and was barely awake before I had to be stripped down to be weighed!
At my 12-month wellness check-up, I was administered FOUR instead of the usual THREE shots! Instead of the usual suspects -- the legs, my arms were the new target! Mummy inquired and found out that they switch from the legs to the arms in case it causes soreness to the legs which can exasperate my attempt to walk.
I'm amazed at how capable kids are and how quickly they're able to figure out their surroundings. One night Adrian discovered a microphone on one of his new toys (from his recent 1st Birthday) and starting singing, talking or blabbling to it! We don't know where he picked up this new skill, but we thoroughly enjoyed the free performance! :)
You may recall from an earlier blog entry how much Adrian was fond of noodles when milk was his only staple! Now that Adrian is at the "ripe old age" to eat, he eats practically everything that he sees us (and others) eat. Note - We avoid eating chocolate, sweets and other bad stuff in front of him! When Adrian saw us eat our usual 5-star worthy gourmet dinner of noodles (Yum!), he had to have some. To be fair, I had some thick udon like noodles while Daddy had ramen (the instant noodle type that you buy in bulk from Costco)! We, of course fed Adrian the better of the two, the former...
We stopped by an Apple store in Los Gatos to peruse the selection of gadget goodies. While Daddy was checking out the new Iphone 3GS, little Adrian had to get his hands on one too! We're not sure who he's talking to, but it sure looked like he was engaged in a serious conversation. :)
