Someone grew up overnight

It has been an excellent weekend with the husband and baby.

Just 11 days into his sixth month, Titus has become a lot more fun. For a while now he has been babbling on and off, and would chuckle when we play with him. He has also been crawling and trying to push himself up against anything that helps him to stand.

But somehow, he seemed to have grown up a lot overnight. Today, he was far more sociable than usual, sprouting a greater variety of 'words' (oh, ooh, ah, ma, ee, ha, ba) without any prompting or stimulation by us.

He also laughed heartily with little teasing. In fact, on Saturday afternoon, he had laughed out loud for a long time when he made eye contact with his daddy, and daddy had merely smiled and said hello. Today, Mr Happy smiled and laughed at anyone he came across, even strangers at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse where we had Father's Day lunch.

It is great to note that today, for the first time ever, he willingly sat in his pram while we ate, and did not try to escape. Just like a big boy, he sat quietly and watched us eat and offered an.occasional chuckle when one of us waved at him. :)

Titus is also suddenly a lot more mobile. Although he has been able to crawl steadily and stand with support, he could not sit upright on his own. Often, he'd fall forward or backward when he tried to sit.

But today, he was not only able to sit upright, he was scooting all over the playmat to reach for his toys. My big boy!



It is crazy how fast children grow. If I had gone away on business trip yesterday or today, I'd miss so much of his development. And that thought makes me wish I no longer have to travel for work.
