New Bumper Playmat

It's quite an exciting weekend for us and Kendrick. Firstly, the bumper playmat that I ordered through the Motherhood forum's Bulk Purchase arrived on Saturday morning! Before that, Dear and I packed our living room area, folded up our carpet and kept it and we also had to shift the coffee table away. All for the sake of our kid ya.... We then cleaned up the playmat and after a while, Kendrick had his first play time there. He was quite intrigued by this new play mat as we could see that he kept looking at all the colourful characters and design on it. A little apprehensive at first, but soon he was quite comfortable playing on it. We played blocks with him and soon enough, he was moving into his crawling position.

Kendrick met a new milestone this weekend as he not only moved towards a sitting position more easily (I suppose the playmat is not as soft was our bed so it was easier with more support), he also made attempts to crawl forward! Finally....all the these while he mostly moved backwards, sideways and all over, but today he finally made clearer forward movements! He's still not very good at it, but I'm sure given time he will get the hang of the coordination. = ) And since then, whenever we put him on the mat, he will automatically go into his crawling position and try his best to move about. Good for you boy! Jia you bah!
