What did he say?

This morning Chao Lei had a long conversation gripe session with me. Perhaps it was because I was busy preparing for the day so only payed him minimum attention. So long as I looked to him he chatted quite calmly but when I looked away he would raise his voice. I would not have thought a seven months old baby would know to raise his voice for attention.

He has not seen this demonstrated in our house. Perhaps it is behavior learned at daycare. I do not see what reason there would be to raise your voice in the presence of babies though. It cannot be tv. It is not on when Chao Lei is in the room. I have read articles such as THIS ONE that say tv is not good for babies. Lt is not always happy for this rule but Chao Lei is first in consideration.

I was preparing for school but there were no classes to teach and only additional research was to be done. Given Chao Lei's behavior this morning, I thought it best to remain with him. The behavior seemed much like insecurity to me so I will remain with him for the day and we will enjoy each other's company. It will be a better day than planned.

What day could be better than time spent with one you love and who loves you?

  2. So true. My seven month old does seem to "yell" at me more (he sounds like a baby dinosaur) when I'm ignoring him for whatever reason (dinner, phone, etcetera).
