大頭仔

Nathan had his 15th month checkup the other day. He's still growing right along the 50th and 75th percentile curves for weight and height (ever since birth). His head, however, has been growing progressively bigger and gone from about 90th percentile from his 12th month checkup to a whopping 97th now. (For those of you who'd like to check on your kids' growth from time to time without having to wait for a doc visit, here's the link to those charts they show you: www.cdc.gov/growthcharts

I don't remember what size his head was at birth, but I think it was just kind of average. Thank God for programming him to grow slowly into his current head size - can't imagine how much tougher the birth and postnatal experience would have been if his head was at 97th percentile at birth !!!

怕草的啟示

其實小朋友成日教我好多嘢:

Nathan雖然好怕草,但係佢又願意試吓摸吓. 好驚咁,但係周圍望吓,見到其他啲得意嘅嘢,好快又會笑到擘大晒個口, 開心到咩咁。

其實我哋好多時唔開心或者焦慮煩惱,都可以學吓小朋友,望吓周圍或者望遠啲,話唔定好快又會畀我哋搵到啲令到我哋笑到見牙唔見眼嘅嘢嘅噃。

Multi-Tasking

Nathan has always been a non-stop baby. He's actually slowed down a lot in this video because he has yet to master his walking skills. This video epitomizes I guess not just his busyness but ours too. Here he is learning to walk with both hands full, reads a map, dials a phone with pot in hand, learns to turn around, finds lost equipment, and continues cooking. Reminds me of how many tasks working moms juggle throughout the day. The other day I had to be on a conference call during which I had to pick up Katrina - had my cell on speaker and mute while asking K about her new teacher, making a turn, shifting gear (don't ask me why I'm still driving a stick), and all of a sudden had to scramble to unmute to answer an unexpected question from Philadelphia....
