A short update on what little Joaquin has been able to figure out recently (Mommy & Daddy are exhausted after a Sunday with him, nonstop, no nap since 12pm, wondering if this will be their life for 8 months):
- He's figured out how to throw balls far. And plastic broccoli toys, bopping a subsequently angry little boy at the playground, in the head, off of a ricochet shot.
- He knows his way around the house: after being naughty in the studio Daddy banished him to the living room, and he immediately turned around and made a beeline back to the studio.
- He knows how to bin things. Given two tubs of plastic toys at the library playground he'll start transferring toys from one to the other back and forth. He held on to one toy up and down the playhouse and after 10 minutes crawled back and returned it back to the bin. Still very much enjoys throwing things on the floor, tho.
- He points and calls birds "coo coo" and dogs "gou gou".
- He can now use his own stroller as a walker without any assistance or holding.
- He can kiss his Mommy on command.
- He does a closed-eye smile on command (video to come).
- He can draw lines with a pen on a tablet (video to come).
- He can ride the motorcycle at the playground by himself while making 'vroom-vroom' noises.
- He understands the meaning of "No!" (as in "don't touch that"), but often pretends not to.
- He not only does peekaboo on himself with is own hands but grabs and pulls open and closed Daddy's hands from in front of Daddy's eyes.
- He asks for 'bao bao' (to hold/hug in Chinese).
Quite a few busy weeks!
