Xavier is 2 month old..

25th August 2008

Xavier is 2 month old and he is getting impatient with his own development. He tries to sit up everytime we carry him and in the event we try to make him lay in own arms, he will cry and only stop when we sit him up in our arms.

I have also started reading to him and guess what I am reading to him? I am reading the newspaper to him and hopefully, he will have a very strong foundation in his vocabulary as he grows up.

Everyone is the family says he looks like "Xiao Xin" with his chubby cheeks. Must be because John watches too much of that cartoon when I was pregnant. But on the other hand, I think my son looks pretty than handsome. Imagine him wearing earrings..wow..he will be a 'sui char bor'....OMG!!

Xavier is going to be 2 month old in 2 days time.

Before I go into details about Xavier...I guess there's something else I have to write about..I would like to say a big thank you to those who have been following this blog meant for Xavier and for those who have been following my other blog on a mother's voice...for some reason, I apologise but I will have to keep that blog confidential from now on....

Ok...back to the topic...when baby is born, they are not able to see anything for some time. And now, I think Xavier is able to see slightly already. He is a very curious baby and each time we carry him, he always struggles and wants to sit up. And also, in the process, he will keep turning his head to where the light source is coming from.

So mothers to be....this is the time for you to develop your child to the fullest. I bought him a rattle..one that has many colours..so as to stimulate his brain and also, switch on the animal planet for him to watch. As he is watching, I will tell him about the animals that is being shown and the sound made by that animal, etc. I am also singing to him now...so that he will recognise my voice, etc. I have also stopped giving him his mitten..so that he can touch with his bare fingers..all to stimulate his brain..

I realise one thing about my son...he does not like to wear shorts/pants and he likes to be bare..haha..each time we remove his shorts/pants to change his diaper..he will start to smile/laugh. When he was just born, removing his clothing for bathing is a torture as he will cry non-stop...but now..he is enjoying his bath so much that he does not want to get out of the water. Just tell him..."Xavier...bong bong lor..." and he will start smiling...

Baby Power...

18th August 2008

Yesterday was a night of horrr for both me and John when Baby Xavier showed us his baby power....he wanted to let us know that he is in charge....
Ha...guess what happen...John saw a hugh piece of pi sai in Xavier's nostril and we were both so enthusiatic about getting it out. Although we knew that we have a baby tweezer at home, we could not wait to lay our finger on that irritating piece of pi sai...the rest of the story...no prize for guessing it right..

Before we could do anything..Xavier seemed to be able to detect an attack on our part..gave a loud scream and started crying non-stop..till his face was all red...no amount of hushing and carrying would help....hearing his cries made our heart melt and at that very instant, we really regretted what we have earlier planned to do....

Last night..we did not sleep well for Xavier kept waking up...perhaps to punish us..haha...what baby power he has...

Choosing a Pediatrician

5th August 2008

Today asked my gynae to recommend a pd for Xavier...Mmm...as usual, I know I can count on him..and he recommended 2 who is very very senior in KK...(The nurses told me so.) and the 2 are supposedly the better if not the best...Of course when you want the best, it comes with a price as well....$80 per visit....If i am to bring Xavier to a pd outside, per visit probably cost just about $50...but well..as long as they are good and they are the experts, I do not mind paying extra...

So Son...Mummy is spending so much on you now...I don't expect you to pay me back next time when you grow up but all mummy wish is that you will grow up healthily and to be a responsible and aspiring person.
