I missed a milestone in my baby's life. He walked his first unassisted steps last Friday. I was at work at the time. He walked an incredible 11 paces.

This morning, he started to move on to something else as well. He used to a lot of new stuff (be it toys or household objects) into his mouth. If its something new, it will find itself in his mouth. He now plays with the things he finds. He drops lids on the floor to see if they bounce as well as his plastic alphabet set. He still puts his thumb into his mouth, though.

He's also discovering doors. He keeps opening and closing them. We now have to constantly check if the screen doors are locked.

Speaking of new discoveries, Discovery channel is running a new series about the Human Baby. Pretty startling what research is uncovering about how and how fast we (humans) learn as babies. It airs every Tuesday, 11pm (PI Time).
