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

21st August 2008

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...
