This morning as I was about to depart, i realized Siyuan had managed to stand up using just the wall, rather than legs of chairs and tables. I yelled excitedly for my wife. She took a look and went back to sleep, saying it's been happening. Ah, the things that are happening!
The other day, wife did an experiment with Siyuan. She laid down his food on the floor. He saw, quickly crawled over to the bowl and sat himself down quietly to wait for her to feed him. Last evening, we were out at a Japanese eatery and wife fed him some tofu, alternating with his normal dinner. He quickly decided he only wanted the tofu and screamed himself red if we tried to sneak his normal dinner back.
Who says babies don't have a mind of their own? :)
