1. Taikun is building his own ego. He was given a pink rabbit to hug when sleep and, gradually becomes more dependent on it. So, now Taikun's best companion is this pink rabbit.
Since Mom came, a new game is developed. The way is (we adult) to hold the pink rabbit and allowing Taikun see it. Without an exception, Taikun would crawl forward to the adult, and "grab" the previous rabbit back.
These few days, me, Annie, and Mom have tried this trick many times. Taikun crawls again and again to the "bad" adult who's stealing his lovely companion, and fight it back.
How lovely!
2. Also, Taikun's capability to crawl forward is better, much better than the time when Mom arrived. In early June, he could just move one or two feet wobbly. In these ten days, now he crawls much stable and faster. Mom notices this fast development as well, and said that she already took this down, hopefully to be incorporated in the new book she hope to publish later on. Also, Dad watched a clip on Nat Geo regarding the amazing development of a newborn in first year. I managed to watch a similar footage on the Web. One story in the video is that, baby's development is based on a battle that how neurons are connecting themselves with fibers to the brain. As this battle goes on, the baby develops: since every movement a baby makes, it helps strengthen certain connections, while weakening others. Before the age of one, a baby is still a fetus just outside of the womb. If a baby is lack of sensory experiences, no exercise etc, then it lacks of the chance to learn by doing and experiencing. So, give him as many as stimulation and learning opportunity is of the top importance we as the parents can do.
More diversified stimulation? Mom has come up the idea of using his name in Kanji to help him to learn visually. She wanted me to print them out in different color. Starting to teach him visual-based Asian characters may be a good start---of course, we know he will have access to colorful English vocabulary cards soon!
