It's interesting to see changes in the way Rou "plays" in the span of two short months. When she first started crawling, she would stop at something that interests her and sit there for ages examining the item with her eyes, and then with her mouth. It amused me very much that she knew where her play toys were and would crawl to the shelves and helped herself to the lowest tray of masak. She even figured out how to remove the cover!
She'd take out a few toys and spend a long time sitting in the same place, examining them quietly. I have to say that this is extremely helpful to a mum who has to juggle housework and a big brother.
And there's the favourite utensil toy thing. You can give her a toy spoon/ fork/ knife and she'll sit there fiddling with and gnawing at it for ages. The best entertainment is free!
Then she progressed to fishing more things out of the box and after examining them, throw them aside. The final result: a floor strewn with toys.
Rou's motor skills are far more advanced than her brother's, when he was her age. I suppose something's gotta give - Gabe's linguistics skills were far more superior to hers.
Here's Rou at her paternal grandparents', playing with her auntie. Yes, you got that right. This little one on the right is three days Rou's junior, derod's cousin, and Rou's 表姑.
They seem pretty comfortable in each other's presence, almost as if they knew they are of the same age. Wondering if they can "communicate" Look Who's Talking style.
