Ethan and his sun salutation

Ethan is at this stage where he loves to walk and jump. At 7 months, he wasn’t really crawling yet (or rather didn’t show signs that he will be crawling anytime soon). Therefore, we speaking to his pediatrician, she highlighted that babies these have the passing the crawling stage and they just get up and walk!

My eyebrows raised, my mouth opened. Then I asked politely, “Why is that so?” She smiled and replied, “Evolutionary!”

However, at 8 months plus, Ethan has just surprised us one day by getting down on all fours and started crawling. Though he didn’t crawl like how the babies in most advertisements did, we knew he was discovering his little hands and foot and showing us that he finally is able move about on his own. We are so proud of him.

This young man will always put a smile on our faces. When he wants to crawl and move about, he will just lift up the hands and stretched his legs (imagine doing your sun salutation, and yes, he does it well!)

I did post an entry that Ethan loves music. A couple of weeks ago when his yi-yi played Taylor Swift over her computer, Ethan started to shake his head and tap his foot – to the beat when he stood up with our support. And after a while, he started jumping – to the beat. Frankly, that didn’t last very long. A good 20 minutes?!?! He was tired and we were all exhausted!

Any yes, naturally, he is able to get up on his own, having to grab hold of a larger object for him to obtain balance. And the amazing thing is, every time when he stands up, he will turn his little head and look out to see if we saw what he did!

That’s my little champion!
