Been a fan to

i find myself those days, having been a fan to this and Shu.

i open my eyes when i enter this convenience store and search any promotion info. i, or say we, also take any of Shu's little action into photos, laughters, or continuous stories to tell.

Talked at midnight

one night before Shu could stand up himself, i found him roll over in his bed so i took him out to sleep with me. Shu's mom was still in her sleep so she did not find it. her deep sleep made this occasion very different. usually Shu's mom would be up when Shu made any tiny noises.
i thought Shu was awake so i talked, sang, and played with him a lot. that was not so good for a baby since we did not want him to think there could be something fun at midnight.
i thought the interactions at that awake time were quite interesting. i did not think i could talk to him so long when in the morning.
months later, i was told by his long-time sleep partner, his mom, that babies could possibly wake up a night and look like awake. however, they are still in deep sleep.

all of a sudden i felt like i was talking to air in the special night. Shu did not even have me in his dream.

Humans are social

after each week's separation, the first things Shu would do when he saw me come home were smiling and asking to be held in my arms.
human beings seem to be social in nature. not isolated-and-do-well from young.

Gluttonous?

though Shu looks fit in his shape, i always came up with this word "gluttonous" when i see Shu is so interested in eating and trying everything in his month. he likes to taste what adults have all the time, looking at what you eat and showing his interests on his face.

last week he found a coffee cookie bucket in the kitchen. as a toddler, he is not supposed to eat that kind of cookies. but after a small bite, he went to that bucket and carried it to grandma many times for a small bite.

being still gluttonous, he knows adults' tastes well and is eager to have some more.

body-controlling is fun now

i think starting from this month, Shu starts to enjoy the feelings of his own body to be controlled by his mind.

Likes bathing now

starting from early June, Shu likes bathing now and we have to take efforts to persuade him to leave his bathtub.
he just likes playing some monotonous games in his tub, such as scooping out the water.

Hatred lasts

yesterday i tried to cut Shu's nails in his afternoon nap, he woke up and saw my intention. starting from that point, he screamed out when i touched any part of his body. let alone holding or playing together.

he now begins to remember and connect the faces and what he hates. baby's hatred lasts since this point.
