Rayan is making good progress

My my. Isn't my little son growing!!!
Early last week, we saw him master the intricacies of crawling. And on Thursday, 15 June 2006, we saw him learn to sit from lying on his stomach- on his own. The very next day, 16 June 2006, we were pleasantly surprised to watch him grab her mother's robe and pull himself up to a standing position. He can now stand holding onto his baby cot for a few seconds. His physical developments are about a month earlier than Rida, but Rida was already (almost) talking at this age. When we were in Ilford, Essex, she would point out of our window and cry "bus" or "car", depending on what went by. She had also started to say "dada", "mama" and "papa" around this time. Rayan, however, is progressing by giving us new sounds and words every day.

He now crawls to his sister when she is playing with some toy and demands it. He shouts, tries to snatch it from her and when she shouts back, he gets only more determined. Guess we should brace ourselves for quarrels in the near future- "I want that" "No that is mine" "Nooo I won't give it" "I will take it" "Papaaaaa" "Mamaaaa" "Waaaaa" "Waaaaaaaaa"
