Last night, Rocco wanted some tummy time so we played a while before having our nightly sponge bath. The little boy only had eyes for his Giraffe friend named Jenny. To encourage him to practice his motor skills, we placed the Giraffe a few inches away from him so he can try to reach for her. Rocco tried so hard to lift his tushy, and extend his arms, so that he could hold his toy. That's what you call motivation!
In the process, he drooled :) Well, that's because babies have not mastered yet the skill of "paglunok." Our bed smells like baby saliva. Such a heavenly smell. LOL
Rocco usually wakes up early at around 5:00AM, and he doesn't sleep until after bath time. To maximize our energy, hubby and I take turns waking up early to play with the little boy. This morning, it was Sieg's turn. He usually plays with Rocco in bed or in the sofa, and when the sun is up, takes the baby out for a stroll. Well, this morning, I was in for a surprise. When I woke up, this is what I saw!
Rocco was sitting down on his tushy, WITHOUT SUPPORT!!! (OK, the pillow is still a support, but still! And by the way, tushy is baby lingo for bum or butt) I was so happy and excited, I just grabbed the camera and took photos of him. Nawala ang antok ko :)
How much more if he learns to crawl, then walk, I would surely jump up and down in happiness :)
