You might also have read here and here that Y still uses the walker. But my newfound friend Ate Lorilie of Charles Goodies (another mention!) told me that walkers with wheels pala are banned in Canada. Really?! So I asked her what I can do to encourage Y to walk. She told me that manual training is still best.
That afternoon, since I'd be working, I told Honey, Y's yaya, and C, my sister, to train Y to balance on his own feet. Agad-agad! And you know what? He was able to stand on his own immediately! I was right; Y knew how to stand up on his own. He just wasn't confident enough.
After being able to stand up on his own, he tentatively took a few steps. Waaaahhhh! We were totally gushing (like piglets hahaha!). After 1 year and 1 month, Y can finally walk on his own!
*saboy confetti*
All this happened on May 15, 2013 (so that I wouldn't forget). For documentation purposes, I grabbed the nearest camera and snapped a few shots:
 |
| Smile muna for the camera |
 |
| Bwelo... |
 |
| Stand up! |
 |
| And step! Yes! |
But there's also something else that happened. The day after Y finally being able to walk on his own, we also celebrated Y's big boy-hood by giving him his very first haircut! Filipino tradition dictates that a baby should have his first haircut when he turns 1. Pero nasasayangan ako sa buhok nya eh. I wanted it to grow a little longer. Like this long:
 |
| What have you done to my son?! |
 |
| See how happy he is with his new haircut? |
 |
| Don't worry anak; tutubo rin yan. Bwahaha! |
That's it, pancit!
Have a good week everyone and I proclaim good vibes and blessings upon all of you. :D
