Grace and I always try to come up with worst case scenarios about certain things so that we don’t panic when they happen. One of those things was: What if Bryan poops during bath? We never did come up with a clear action plan for it.<\/p>\n

And of course, it’s the things you don’t plan for that will always strike you… Kind of like The Murphy’s Law<\/a>: “Everything that can possibly go wrong will go wrong”. A couple of weeks ago, Bryan made a small poop-poop while I was bathing him. Lesson learned: When the water becomes murky, leap into emergency action… but before that, always have your emergency actions planned. <\/p>\n

It was a mess. I had to call Grace to change out his bath water while I rinse him in the bathroom sink. Even though we laughed more than we panicked, the whole experience was just silly. <\/p>\n

I think this is the beginning of a whole new way of life: To expect the unexpected<\/strong>. When there are children involved, no moment is ever a dull moment; there’s always something going on. The same has been true with Bryan. A friend once told me to be happy when my child is hopping, jumping and getting into trouble because it’s when he’s not, I should be really worried. Wise words.<\/p>\n

Other developments of Bryan include: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. the ability to lift his head at 45 degree angles when on stomach;<\/li>\n
  2. discovered screaming<\/a> and is not shy to use it; <\/li>\n
  3. just begginning to brush on the concept of object <\/a>permanence<\/a> where we notice that he realizes something in front of him can be behind<\/i> him when we turn him around; <\/li>\n
  4. chuckles when he sees things he likes;<\/li>\n
  5. is able to finish whole 8 oz of formula in one go;<\/li>\n
  6. is beginning to be able to trace the origin of a sound;<\/li>\n
  7. discovered hands and starting to manipulate objects with them;<\/li>\n
  8. discovered starting to explore his toes;<\/li>\n
  9. developed independence where he can stay and play by himself in the crib or playpen for up to 40 minutes at a time…<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
