When Polo turned 7 months and learned how to crawl and sit unassisted, he immediately became more mobile that the pillows used to keep him within his playmat area could no longer stop him. Aba! He could now climb over the pillows and push them further so as to increase his territory.
His white wooden crib, his parents' bed and his puzzle floormat are no longer safe places for him. That is why Marvin, Mommy and I decided that it was time for us to buy him a playpen. That's exactly what we did before going home last friday night.
With Polo's transition into a playpen and yet another baby furniture added to our home space, Marvin thought that it was indeed, time to keep Polo's bouncy chair and puzzle floormat. It was time to keep the bouncy chair for the next baby and the puzzle floormat for later when Polo is old enough to move out of his playpen.
Our Polliepoe is gradually growing into his own person. He is learning inch by inch that he is independent from Marvin and me. Thank God that these things happen slowly, thus, giving me time to adjust and adapt.
It was not so long ago that I thought that parenting meant teaching your baby what and how to do things. Little did I know that parenting happens the other way around. Without the baby knowing it, it is he who turns his Mom and Dad into parents.
