Just last week, the 17th of September, he took his first 3 steps, unassisted! We were not around, but my mum's helper told us. We've been trying to get it on video, but each time, it happens too fast. By the time the camera is filming, he's overly excited and starts to jump and shriek at his own achievement, and so loses his balance after the 4th step or so. He now looks like a tiny robot walking, it's hilarious.
This was at 9.5 months, at the nearby park. He loves the park!
A few days before his 10th month. He would attempt to take one wobbly step on his own and then reach for us for support
A week after his 10th month, when he realises that he's gotten so stable just holding on to the sheets with one hand, that he can hold on to mummy's scrunchy with the other and attempt to chase mummy!
Whining when Vader tried to wrap his hair in a towel. His drooling has gotten so bad, Vader decided the tiny baby face towels are now insufficient. He took out the adult-sized hand towels! Hand towels, mind you, not face towels! Of course, Baby Elephant dislikes the large towel with a passion. I think he dislikes anything that reminds him of a blanket. When I try to cover his legs with a blanket when he's asleep, he immediately kicks it off. No idea how he does this and still remains asleep.....
It's hilarious how Vader refuses to let Baby Elephant walk around with a bib, because he says it will only send him the message that he can continue drooling. He says we can teach him not to drool so uncontrollably. I really wonder....... hahhaha but since it's not a monumental issue to me, I just let it go and wipe up the drool when I see it.
Still waiting to catch his walking on video... it eludes me still!!
