Friends of Joash

Goodness... This is a long overdue post about my visit to yet another friend last week. Yeah! One more friend for Joash to play with! Presenting... baby M!

Baby M: Gor Gor Joash, What's that you are eating?
Joash: A donut. You want some?
Doesn't that sound familiar? *wink*

And what did old friends like ZH and Joash do after not seeing each other for a long time? They hugged and kissed each other... on the lips!!! *faint* And yes, they are back at it again: arm wrestling.

Face-off Round 2 *Tink tink tink* Joash verses ZH
Oh yes, that rings a bell too... Get it? Heh heh...

Seems like Joash has great fidelity to a single toy for very long time. For some unknown reasons, he took a liking to the plastic donuts, especially the blue one. He licked it, chewed on it, pushed it around and banged it everywhere he went. ZH, though usually not interested in them as reported by his mother, started to find the donut Joash was holding onto very desirable too and started chasing him all over the place to get the donut. To hide from ZH, Joash went under the slide and then later the sarong sling. It's simply hilarious watching them.

Joash sure loves having peers around him. Two days ago, I had a few mothers with their babies at my place. Joash was exceptionally happy. And you know what? After they left, he cried and fussed for almost an hour. He actually missed them! At first I thought it was just coincidence. When we were at church this morning, Joash ignored the other babies in the cry room throughout the worship, but when Baby J (a new friend he played with earlier this week) came in with his mom, he immediately perked up and kept looking at him and even wanted to crawl to him! To top it off, Baby J also looked back at Joash. Wait a sec. Can babies this young recognise one another? Utterly unbelievable! Ah well, he is such a social creature... just like his Dad. He is definitely a chip off the old block!!!
