It was a very hectic 10 days. Abhay had ear pain, teething pain, cold, cough and fever.
We are still not sure the cause of the ear pain - was it the cough and cold, was it an ear infection, was it wax build up or was it due to the teething? Anyway, looks like it is under control now though he still pulls at it once in a while.
He is climbing the stairs in full speed now. He does not even look back to see if anyone is following him or not. At the top of the stairs kisses his reflection in the mirror, hugs the doggie at the next landing and then heads straight for his cardboard boxes in the guest room.
His next milestone is that he wants to stand up all by himself. He stands up holding with both hands and then lets go of one hand. Then he slowly starts inching his other hand away from the support. He then totally lets go and then goes "plop" down.
The weather is holding up real well so we went to the little gym class on Friday as swim class was cancelled. He really enjoyed the class thoroughly. We did forward flips, backward flips. He loved the tunnel. I think playing with all the cardboard boxes at home, going in and out of them really prepared him for the tunnel. It also helped that I was at one end of the tunnel and Revathi was at the other encouraging him to go from one end to the other.
The other interesting thing was he did not like other kids shouting at loud voices - this upset him and he started crying. Also, sharing is not his forte. He was after the ball that Adian had. If he got the ball and Adian got another, he wanted whatever ball Adian had. I am hoping playing with other kids will encourage him share and this is one of my goals for little gym.
We will probably go to the open playdate on Monday and see how he does.
The next class I am looking forward to is the Water babies - which is a real swim class for babies. This starts on March 5th.
