My Baby Z is finally making significant progress in taking his first step. Well technically it's not his first step, step. It's more of his first un-aided big walk.
Peer pressure is a terrible thing, it's something I wld always remind myself to not be affected easily but the affliction jus gets itself rooted in the back of every parent mind.
With the presence of Facebook and Twitter, you get to be updated of when your friend's baby make their first crawl, first hi-5, first stood-up on their cot-bed/play yard. You sometimes even wonder why other parents gets to upload 101 cute smiley baby pics and you are struggling to even capture one.
Yes, Peer pressure gets to everyone of us. Regardless you wanna admit it or not.
I've been 'monitoring' when my peers babies took their first walk. And it somehow falls between 14-16mths. So when Baby Z starts standing on his cot at the age of 10mths', 'walking' while holding onto whatever 'support' near him. For e.g. Table, Door, Play yard, Wall. I was jumping for Joy, confidently thinking that my son is gonna be a early walker.
Everytime he stood still without any support, I'm like, 'this is it' .... But weeks flew by, he is still stuck at this stage. While In refreshing Facebook daily and seeing progress on others but not my own.
So the time has finally come..*wipe away teeny drop of tear'
Ever since mid last week, hubby held baby by one hand, and Baby Z jus smile proudly and walk steadily forward.
When I held onto his little hand, I realise he's actually not putting any weight, he is walking on his own but he jus wanna touch our hands for security & assurance. *wipe another imaginary drop*
