Feeding Ownself

Today's post is an outdated one and is also a very short one as Mommy is still overloaded with office work.

Mommy captured this video of Juan Or feeding himself with the spoon when we stopped over at his paternal grandparents' house after coming back from watching Toy Story 3 at Bukit Raja Jusco Klang (that was 9th July 2010). His doting grandparents gave him the Calciyum yogurt to eat in the car just before we set off home. This time, his grandparents allowed him to hold the spoon and feed himself - something which they and even Mommy have never attempted to try before because any clumsiness can be very messy to clean (and of course wastage of yogurt!). And much to Mommy's surprise, Juan Or is already able to scoop and aim the spoon with the yogurt into his mouth with no mess or spill! There was only one occasion when there was a small yogurt stain just outside his lips after scooping yogurt into his own mouth and he surprised everyone by using the spoon to scoop the stain and aimed it into his mouth!


Here's a video of Juan Or feeding himself Calciyum using the KFC's little spoon. As he ate, he mentioned his favourite Toy Story character - Buzz Lightyear the astronaut - excitedly to his Grandpa! Looks like he just can't have enough of Buzz Lightyear! ^ ^

"I Feed You, But You Don't Need to Feed Me!"

This is really an outdated post, thanks to Mommy's crazily busy schedule for the past weeks. It happened almost 2 weeks ago. Juan Or's cousin sister, Juan Juan who is about 8 months older than Juan Or, was around in Grandma's house for quite some time already. Later on, when Mommy came back from work, Mommy picked Juan Or from babysitter's house as well. Juan Or, upon seeing Juan Juan enjoying a small plate of muruku (actually, this muruku was given by one of Mommy's chemistry class student in conjunction with Deepavali), came to join her as well. He sat directly opposite her and started taking the muruku, piece by piece, and fed muruku into her mouth! Don't know whether Juan Or was being generous, or he was simply finding it fun to feed food into other's mouth (but Mommy thinks it's probably the latter because Juan Or likes to shove leftover food that he can't finish into Mommy's mouth)! Juan Juan was also very sporting to eat what was fed to her, and seeing her enthusiasm to eat whatever he fed her, Juan Or kept on putting muruku into her mouth! Here are a series of snapshots of the feeding action.

After Juan Or was done with feeding Juan Juan, Juan Or climbed onto a sofa to relax and watch television. And Mommy can't help snapping more photos of this little boy concentrating on watching the television.
