I am really bad at keeping this up, on the other hand, XiaoXiong is growing too fast to keep up with anyway ;-)
ok, try my best here
he is an expert of pulling up and sitting down, it didn't take him long to figure out "bending the knees while sitting down"
learnt to clap hands about 2 weeks ago, he was so happy, big grin on his face when he does that
learnt to find ear(s) most time right ear only
suck bottom lip to make a kissing sound
working on "blowing a kiss" and "cat" - put two hands up on head

he is crawling on four, can push and follow the highchair or kitchen cart for a little bit, climbs stairs half way (to 3/4 if he sees the cat upstairs). what else ?? let's see .... he sort of knows that coming down stairs or bed, he needs to go feet first, but he hasn't got the idea of turning around.

he stopped waving bye bye after he learnt clapping hands, " gou xiong bai bang zi"??
he has very good appetite these days, eats like a pig... everything and he enjoys self-feeding very much.

this is kinda big deal to me rather to ethan, I have fianally stopped pumping this week, so that now I only nurse him in the morning and before bed. it was pretty painful for the first 2 days, I actually had to pump when I got home the first day. then I got through the 2nd and third hard but no pain, by the fourth day I didn't feel nothing any more. It is so much easier now, more freedom ... at same time a little sad ... I don't know how am I gonna wean the one before bed, I mean it means more to me than to Ethan now ... he dozes off with a bottle just fine, but I will miss the cuddling and the warmth, the way he puts his feet between my thigh... remind me of when I have to stop the co-sleeping ...made me sad ...
