milestone #1: i had my first taste of "sinigang"
my first ever grown-up food! contrary to other babies, i didn't start with lugaw, but with one of the infamous pinoy favorite food of all times, THE "sinigang". the sour soup with slightly mashed rice tasted weirdly at first. but heck, i wouldn't be called trueblooded pinoy if i didn't like it, so i finished the small-for-starters portion that mom gave me and i was raving for more! yummeeeh!
the next two happened during my 8th month birthday...
milestone#2: i can now stand for a really long time while supporting myself
my parents just found out that i can already do this when mom put me by the glass door to look at the garden. while i held on to it, she let go of me just to see if i can stand by myself. and i did! soon, they attached the legs of my musical table and i've been playing with it standing since then.
milestone #3: balancing myself while standing unsupported
yep, no support at all. mom just wanted to know if i would be able to stand without support (hey, what's the use of my huge "pata" if they can't support my body well?!). so dad let go of me, and i tried to balance myself! the longest i've gone through without falling was 17 seconds! how's that for a first timer?!
milestone #4: crawling to sitting position.
since i've been rolling over and crawling backwards to get to where i want to go to, i needed to learn how to go from crawling to sitting position for me to be able to maneuver myself. and the day after my 8th month, i discovered that i can do it. and i did it all by myself! wee!
milestone #5: coming down from the bed.
when mom got home that same day, dad surprised her by telling her that they need not teach me how to come down from the bed anymore. so in panic, my mom asked why and what happened. dad recounted it to her. normally when i'm sleeping and left alone, i would make sounds or call someone or cry when i wake up. when i'm not crying, they usually wait for a few secs before they come up, coz often, i'd go back to sleep. that wasn't the case yesterday. to my dad's surprise, i was already standing, down by the bed side, and holding onto it for support. i even laughed with delight when i saw dad. silly eh?!
want more? stay tuned!
