These shoes are made for walking

Remember the shoes from 4 months ago? Mountain boy has apparently outgrown most of them. Mountain man and i like to joke about having a hobbit for a son because he has such big feet (13.5cm long). Albeit the fact that shoes were pretty much decorative for the first 10 months of his life, he resisted them. Putting them on was a real struggle because i never could get both sides on without him kicking one side off.

To my relief that changed recently. My little walker decided that shoes are cool, perhaps even necessary to pass off as human being (versus being a real hobbit). So yay! TIME TO GO SHOPPING. Ok I didn't literally GO shopping, i went to the trusted taobao and searched for 学步鞋 (shoes for new walkers). Came across some pretty cool designs and bought a couple. The first 2 pairs came and they were 1 size too big so i bought 2 more at the right size. And then another friend told me about Stride Rite so i went back to taobao and bought 1, it was again 1 size too big so i bought 2 more at the right size... One thing led to another and i ended up with 8 pairs of new shoes for Mountain Boy. I don't think he goes out often enough to do justice to all of them so i make him wear them at home. kidding.

Did you know Camper makes baby shoes? I couldn't resist. It's not SUPER comfortable but dang they are cute!

Mama's handsome little boy before our little outing today. Running here, there and everywhere.

Here's a funny picture of Mountain Boy running away from a certain scary Mountain Bear...

A friend based in Shanghai bought a pair of Stride Ride for us I think. Very nice!

Bubbles now points to her shoes to remind us to put them on for her when we're going out! Once my mum forgot and she pointed animatedly towards her shoes and was like "ah ah ah!"

Very handsome, Dylan!
