Thanks to @public-eye for the tag,
This post does get the #healthy-home seal of approval!!
And it makes me (@em3) so happy to read this post! It brings back a very fond memory of my son when he was a newborn! He had jaundice very bad and needed the light treatment. They had him in a enclosed bassinet for hours each day for the first 5 days, I think.
On the 2nd or third day I am visiting with him as my wife sleeps and he pushes up ....maybe on all fours, I forget. But his head is raised too! And I think wow! That is impressive! I think I took a photo(now I am stoked to find it!!) And it is how he got his Chinese nick name of "small strong". Even though he was a small baby, he showed he was strong! He is 13 now and looks like he is 16, and yes, very strong(though not small anymore)!!

Is the boy called Xiao Qiang? It is reassuring that he grew so big!
Yes... I just did some Google foo and believe that is the nickname. It is the common slang for cockroach in some parts of China.
Like I said... I think that the pinyin you gave is of the Mandarin... And the pronunciation we used was the Cantonese...
But same difference!
😁
I only ever heard it (and spoke it) in Cantonese. The first word sounds like Soo(as the sound in "soup")... So that first word may be the same... But I would need my wife to write the Chinese characters in order to be sure.
Peace
