A beautiful rainbow and a good-10-steps-walk at home

Changton spends most of his time at home, of course!! If the weather is good and if mom has times, she likes to take him out for a walk. Changton is a Go-Go-Go boy, he loves going out. In fact, "go go go" is the first word he says when he wakes up each morning! Umm... a mental note for mom: teaching her son a proper morning greeting!

Recently the weather is so Autumn. It's gloomy, windy and rainy. The poor boy cannot go out much. This morning, we saw a good sign of going out. Though it was raining a little bit, we started to see a clearer blue sky. Plus, from the balcony, we saw a beautiful rainbow arching over Yang Ming Shan, a mountain near our house.

Mom wanted to show Changton the rainbow but Yai Jee warned her of a superstitious belief of not using a finger pointing at the rainbow. This reminded her of the old days when mom used a finger to point at a rainbow and her sister said, "You are going to die in 7 days!". Mom knows it's silly but she can't help obeying to the warning. So she tried very hard to show Changton the rainbow, using her head instead! She hoped that Changton could actually see the rainbow. At best, she hoped that Changton knew what a rainbow is? Sometimes mom just amazes the amazingly development of human beings. Changton's tiny brain is absorbing new things every single second!! What a daunting job ahead for the little boy!

Talking about the new things, new developments. Since he reached his one year old mark, Changton has been thriving to achieve one of his biggest milestones, WALKING. Only then, he will be called a toddler, not a baby, according to his mother's criterion.

On this rainbow day, Mom observed Changton walking unsupported for good 10 steps. GO, GO, GO, son. "Yes, you can", Uncle Obama has been saying this to him everyday!

Crawling is still his main move!
