Sonny's Jacket and Hide-and-Seek



Here's Siyuan in a jacket that our friend Sonny bought for him. And then Siyuan was playing hide and seek behind my knee later :)

Late Afternoon


Now that he can crawl, the whole apartment is his playground and we're on constant watch he doesn't go into the toliet or into the kitchen when wife is cooking. He's a real quick mover, can get from one end of the room to the kitchen in a couple of minutes. He also has a tendency to follow us around, including into the bathroom and toliet.
Sometimes though he would just sit and contemplate his surroundings. This is one of those moments in the later afternoon when we got a nice spot of sunlight.

Park



Took Siyuan to a nearby park today :)

Stand


seems to have screwed up the last posting picture. Anyway, here's another picture of Siyuan standing...in his own bedroom and bed. We're still struggling with frequent nite waking. He would sleep reasonably well from 8 pm till about midnight, and then he could wake up at 1, or 2, but certainly almost always at 3 am. He might also be awake at 4 am. Its been pretty tiring.
Nurses and friends tell us he's going through a developmental stage where his brain is processing a lot of information, so that's why he's having more wakings. We can only endure!

Crawl, Sit, Stannd




The teochew have a saying, that roughly translated, meant a baby will sit in his seventh month, crawl in his eighth month, and then teething will occur in his ninth month.
Siyuan teeth in his sixth month, crawled in his seventh, and then sat in his eighth. He is now learning to stand. As you would notice, his was the reverse order.
