Chapter 197
When Yoyo was one year old, Jiang Zhinian took her to take a family photo. In the photo, little Yoyo had two furry braids that were barely tied up, and she was sitting in Shi Ye's arms, smiling.
After taking the photos, Jiang Zhinian went to select them. She happened to hear an aunt who was also taking photos ask Shi Ye, "Can the baby walk now?" She suddenly became nervous.
Many children can stand up by holding on to the railings and can even walk independently when they are 11 months old. However, Yoyo, who is one year old, has no intention of standing up at all. It seems that she is very happy to be a creature crawling quickly on four legs.
She crawls all over the floor every day and would run away if she wasn't watched. Jiang Zhinian sometimes couldn't catch up with her and had to use a baby fence to temporarily lock her up.
Perhaps because of their daily companionship, she and Shi Ye are the two people who are most aware of Youyou's growth but also the least sensitive. It's like a colleague who hasn't seen the child for a long time and occasionally sees the child and says, "Oh, you've grown so big." But they both think that the child has always been like this, how could he grow up so quickly?
Jiang Zhinian touched his chin and thought seriously about the problem of "walking".
Yes, he is one year old and should learn to walk.
On the way back, Jiang Zhinian was browsing a shopping website and asked Shi Ye, "Should we buy a walker or something like that for the baby? I see a lot of kids in our neighborhood are using them."
Shi Ye said casually while turning on the turn signal, "Baby walkers are unsafe and prone to tipping over. Secondly, they're not good for a child's growth and walking posture. Actually, you don't have to worry. Every child's growth progress is different."
Like teething.
When other children of the same age in the community started to grow teeth at six or seven months old, Youyou still had bare gums. Because there was a doctor at home, Jiang Zhinian was able to remain calm at first and said, "Teething can come out early or late, and it's normal to be between ten months and ten months old." However, when Youyou was eight months old and there was still no sign of teething, she couldn't remain calm anymore.
Every day when I have nothing to do, I open my little mouth to see if there are any little white teeth coming out.
Later, when the baby was nine months old, two little teeth finally came, relieving her mother's anxiety that was about to explode.
"It's not my anxiety about teething, it's just that she's starting to grow teeth too late."
"That's the matter."
Two days ago, they went to the pediatrician for their one-year-old baby checkup. In addition to the basic physical examination, they also had a developmental assessment. The doctor asked the baby to do various tests, such as climbing stairs or playing with building blocks.
One of the items is to give the children a bottle cap and see if they can consciously screw the cap onto the bottle mouth.
The purpose is to detect the degree of dizziness caused by fine movements.
Yoyo looked at the bottle cap for a long time, then suddenly threw it to the ground and started giggling. She did this for about three times without cooperation. The doctor became a little impatient and said that the child's fine motor skills were a little behind in development, which made Jiang Zhinian very worried.
Shi Ye didn't care. He didn't agree with giving rigid and stereotyped scores to children's behaviors based on a certain point in time. As long as the differences were not particularly obvious, most children were similar.
There are not so many problem children, nor so many gifted children.
But on the way back, Jiang Zhinian drank a small bottle of mineral water in one breath, and then began to train Youyou how to unscrew the bottle cap.
Finally, when they returned to the door of the house, Youyou reluctantly cooperated with her mother for a while and screwed the bottle cap on. Jiang Zhinian was so happy that she wanted to rush back to the hospital and show the doctor how to screw the bottle cap on with her bare hands ten times.
Jiang Zhinian obviously remembered the pediatric nurse's anxiety a few days ago and nodded: "That makes sense, but... when do you think Yoyo will learn to walk?"
"Maybe she's just too lazy to walk."
In fact, when Jiang Zhinian got home in the evening, he secretly trained little Yoyo to walk while Shi Ye was cooking.
However, the other party only had eyes for the newly bought little dinosaur toy and was trying to stuff the little dinosaur into the big dinosaur's mouth, and ignored Jiang Zhinian's call at all.
"Come, baby, come to mommy."
The big dinosaur bit off the little dinosaur's head, making Yoyo laugh out loud.
"Baby, stand up and take two steps."
Yoyo turned his back and prepared to force the little dinosaur's body into the big dinosaur's mouth.
"Baby, please, just go for a while, okay?"
When Shi Ye came out, he saw Jiang Zhinian slumped on the sofa with a look of despair on his face. He leaned against the corner connecting the kitchen and the living room, shook his head, walked to Youyou, squatted down, then picked her up in his arms and pointed at Jiang Zhinian.
"Go to Mom."
Yoyo sucked on her pacifier, looked at her father's expression, then turned her head, smiled happily, and walked towards Jiang Zhinian in a staggering manner, then fell into her mother's arms.
"Baby, you can walk now!!!" Jiang Zhinian almost jumped up in surprise, "Wait, where's my phone? I didn't take any pictures. Shi Ye, where's your phone? Hurry up and take a picture."
Shi Ye took out his cell phone and waved to Youyou, who then cooperated very well and walked towards Shi Ye. Although she was a little unsteady at first, she walked more and more steadily the second time.
Jiang Zhinian was so happy that she almost cried, and she and Youyou threw themselves into Shi Ye's arms.
"Why are you still crying?"
"Shi Ye, Yoyo can walk now."
"I saw it."
"It's very touching, very exciting, and I feel a sense of accomplishment and pride."
They really did it, raising a newborn, hungry baby little by little and growing him into a child who could walk independently.
Jiang Zhinian couldn't help but repeat it again, pinching her face as well, fearing she was dreaming: "Shi Ye, the baby really can walk."
"Yeah, textbook standard."
Jiang Zhinian reacted: "Wait, why does she walk as soon as you ask her to walk?"
She knew that Shi Ye was very powerful, but it was impossible for him to have some super-powerful magic that could make a baby who couldn't walk walk.
Shi Ye smiled and hugged Youyou in his arms: "Yesterday I saw her secretly stand up and try to take the purple hairband on your dressing table."
In the end, he didn't get the thing and sat down on the ground.
Seeing that she showed the desire to walk on her own, Shi Ye took advantage of Jiang Zhinian's inattention and gave her some simple training.
"Ah, then why didn't you tell me?"
This made her still anxious today, wondering if her legs were not well developed or if there was something wrong with her muscles.
"I've got a surprise for you."
Yoyo, who had just brought great surprise and touched her parents, saw her parents hugging each other. There was no time for her to show any walking skills, so she sat down on the ground again and started hitting her poor dinosaur toy hard.
