News about Lohan
Martin Brooks asked me how Lohan, my son, was doing.
Well. He’s been sitting straight on his own for some time, but he can’t sit himself, nor can he recover if he falls over. If you hold both of his hands, he walks quite fast. He likes to walk quite a bit, but he can’t be bothered to crawl. If you put his hands on a small table, he will stand there and not fall, at least for some time. He can say things like “dadada” and “guo gui”. If you read to him, he will try to eat the book. Whenever he sees our cat, he will run after her yelling, and of course, the cat will run away. He can eat about 15 different things from carots to chicken, as long as it is mashed.

Funny happy boy. Do you know what he means by “dadada” and “guo gui”? He must understand a lot of concepts, before he can speak.

My niece is a bum shuffler rather a crawler. I didn’t even know they existed. Your son looks lovely.

Yuhong: I doubt he means anything. He does express himself, but more at the level of a cat, say. By the way he yells or cry, you can figure out some simple meanings like “let me have the cat” or “I’m glad to see you”… but that’s about it. I don’t think there are any abstract concepts being expressed.
