He Finally Found his Feet…
I called to our housekeeper, “Ayi! Come see! He’s eating his feet!”
Her response, what I could catch of her fast Sichuanese was something like “Oh no, this is not good. If he wants to eat his hands, ok, fine maybe that’s ok, but his feet?? His feet! No this is not good, not ok!”
I laughed and tried to explain that in America (where generally babies’ feet and environments stay pretty clean) we don’t mind when they eat their hands and feet. We think its cute.
She sort of sighed and tried to be happy for me but she couldn’t bring herself to watch so she left the room while I continued to snap pictures.
It’s not just feet in Will’s mouth these days, its everything. It seems like his fine motor skills blossomed overnight. His hands are fast and his aim is true and now nothing is safe. He’ll grab my toothbrush, our dinner plates, he even took away a chunk of Santa’s beard last night…
His toys bear the brunt of his gumming…
But Daddy’s fingers are still his favorite.
He is adorable! And your photos rock, you’re great! We too are in toe mode at the moment, lovin’ it!
