notes #10

i wasn't around much during his 10th month.

Work suddenly piled up and i had to travel over to Indonesia, for a week, Beijing for 3 and KL for a couple of days. Later on maybe to Bangkok too.

However, i'm glad i have these little videos showing nate breaking into smiles while we play with him. This month his brain decided to synchronise itself the rest of his actions. All of a sudden he can clap and shake his head to tell us yes or no, and pretend to use the telephone. He even waved goodbye to a colleague of ours without any warning or prompting.

My doctor friend calls this a phase-lag.

All these things happened in a week, OUT OF THE BLUE, as if he was watching us all this while and then quietly practising in the corner when no one was watching.

so to date, nate has 8 teeth, has waved to Wuiliang_the very first person in his life_or ever, can imitate my actions and talks a lot more ( in a language we don't speak too).

He's getting funnier and cuter by the day and i've told this to a colleague but yes. I'm starting to like this bugger.
