Growing up and throwing tantrums

Jaden, so far, has been fed flakes of butter fish, flakes of chicken, mashed potatoes with minced chicken and diced carrots and he loves it. Now that he has two bottom teeth, he is starting to learn how to chew his food tho sometimes he still keeps them at his cheeks like a hamster storing up food in their cheek pouch. =)

The little boy knows how to throw tantrum too. Whenever he grabs hold of what he is not supposed to (eg: father's files, the DVD player, wires, papers) and we pull him away from it, he will then run away in his walker, eyes closed banging into whatever is in his way, of course with screams at us. Such a bad tempered boy! Usually we will just let him cry out till he knows he won't get whatever he wants in the first place.

To hush Jaden up can be real easy. All you have to do is to show him a mirror and *poof* immediately *silence* followed with a smile. The little vainpot I tell you. Loves to look at himself in the mirror with a shy smile. When we take a photo, we have to show him the results. That is because the little kaypochee will be showing us the "I am waiting.. still waiting you know?" look until we show him the picture on the screen. Then he will either break into a smile or try to grab the camera from us. He is so so vain. The only time he did not smile or acknowledge his own photo is his mug shot from the passport size photograph. That was taken when he was 2 months plus, still looking very round and kinda bald. NOPE! He refuse to acknowledge that that was him himself! =)

He loves taking his bath. Removing him from the bathtub will hear him crying and kicking. Everytime I bathe him, its as if I am taking a bathe myself. Splashes of water will trickle down from my head to toe. Jaden has master the art of splashing water with his arms and kicking his legs in the tub. Sometimes, trying to steal my sponge when I am lathering him with body shampoo. My little boy, the fire pig who loves water. Guess hes ready to be introduced to the swimming pool. Who wants to volunteer to go swimming with the little boy?

Did I mention that Jaden is very curious about other kids? Whenever we are outside eating, and there are kids nearby, be it a baby his age or kids older than him, he will be staring at them and then trying to get their attention. He wants to join the kids and play with them. So cute I tell you! He will smile, flap his arms around, calling out "Aie!!" and then get all excited in his babychair. I have got a little social butterfly with me. The little PR Manager.

He is growing up so fast. Suddenly this month, he wants to do whatever other babies are doing in three or four months. He learns how to sit and then now, trying to stand, which he can pull himself up with support. He is also learning how to take a step or two in front after he stands up. Think he might be able to cruise by the time he hits the BIG ONE? I really hope so but then again, he can take his own sweet time. Afterall he is still a kid and is allowed to enjoy every single second of his growing up process.
