I noticed today that Oscar's feet are getting flat on the bottom. Until now, they were rounded and chubby. I didn't realize that feet had to be broken in--all of his standing and walking around is really changing his body. He's starting to look less like a baby and more like a little boy. He also finally learned how to crawl (and not belly-flop), though his walking/creeping is coming along so well that he's not all that interested in it. I predict that he'll take is first unsupported steps sometime in the next month.
He's been branching out with food--eating a lot of what we eat. Today: prunes, sancocho criollo; yesterday: avocados, channa (garbanzos), grapes, zucchini, and, of course, tofu. Whenever he sees us eating, he begs like a dog for a bite of whatever we're having. The other day we were eating at Sakana and Christian and I competed for his allegiance to our favorite japanese ice cream--Christian representing the "red bean clan"; me working the "green tea society" agenda. He still doesn't understand the political implications of his disjointed family culture, so he willing accepted it all without prejudice.
He is making more sounds now--sniffs, snorts, trills, and strange guttural combinations. He's just trying everything and occasionally hits upon something profound. Today he turned his favorite video on, hung up on Abuela when I was talking to her on the phone, body-surfed over Christian's little wooden stool, and "slapped his mama" repeatedly (he's been abusing me with pokes, prods, slaps, scratches and bites a lot these days!). He's really going through a destructive phase where he tears apart everything and everyone he can get his hands on....
