Growing Fun

Just a series of growing incidents with Siyuan, who is now about 10 months old.

What's that smell?
He was happily playing away in the living room, and I was washing up. Wife was out doing a little grocery shopping. All of a sudden he started crying. To pacficy himself, he started playing with his toys. Didn't work. He crawled, crying every step, towards the dinning floor. I spoke to him, trying to sooth him. He went to my computer table, a favorite spot, and started hammering away at my keyboard and pulling cables. 1 minute later, he restarted crying. Then he crawled away to another fav spot to play with my music discs. Didn't last either, and started crying. Finally he crawled towards me, and pulled at my pants. That's when I noticed the horrific smell coming. Yes, he's pooed. And so the poor boy was trying to escape his own poo smell, and must be wondering why is that smell following me?

Morning Routine
Siyuan has a morning routine, and one of them involves coming to the bedroom and then start yapping at the top of his voice at the foot of the bed. After been ignored, he will crawl to my side of bed, and start to pull my glasses, cup, books or watnot i have on a little shelf. Then carried on yapping away. Loudly. I wake up (wife would be up earlier to have given him his very early feed). He will follow me around then as I change, wash up, grab my keys etc. Then he stand at this little gate we have, and yapped at me. I will go over, hug him, and say good bye.

Park
Was at the park on the weekend, while poor wife sleeps off a headache. Beautiful sunny day as spring enters Melbourne (in Melbourne's own sporadic fashion...two days nice, one day wet and cold). Laid down the mat, put him down, and lie down. He happily pattered around, crawled over me and pulled the mat. I just lie back, look up into the blue sky through the trees. Heaven.
