18th September 2008
Yesterday was I think...the first time Daddy John spent a whole day with Xavier on his own. And whenI got home, John was beaming from ear to ear, happy about the day spent with his bao bei. I think my baby really loves having people around...when we left him in the room all by himself to do our own work, he started crying for attention...Sigh...guess I have to train him to be independent so that John and I can bring our work home...otherwise..it seems almost impossible for us to do our work at home...
One thing I discovered, my boy is really timid.....John sneezed very loudly yesterday and Xavier started crying loudly....it took me some time to pacify him...Sigh.....next time sure get bullied by girls....
Benjamin's Birthday...
Do I look "cute"?
Sitting up all by myself...
See my proud face....
The Day I'm known as Xavier Matthias
Father Lau praised me for not crying..I'm a brave boy...
Chloe....and Me....
Dun be scare of me...I'm a nice boy you know...

My Baby of Steel
15th Sept 2008
Week 2 of returning to work....yet my heart is at home with Xavier...worried that John will not be able to handle him...as he has to bathe him and feed him before sending him over to Mum's place...will Xavier be able to keep quiet in his cat seat until he reaches mum's place?
Anyway, Xavier's head is 90% steady already....we can simply carry him propping him upright and he enjoys it...When we went to the airport on Saturday, I carried him with his head against my shoulder...and guess what, my dear son, used to his pacifier, started sucking his own hands....aiyoh...no wonder now his hands always smell of saliva...
Xavier Xavier....Da Yi bought you a superman romper from Australia and you know something, you look real adorable in it....I guess this is the only time to dress you up in these super heroes's suit..before you grow any older...mummy will not embarass you ok?

Going back to work
4th Sept 2008
Sigh...I'm going back to work next Monday and John will be away in China....I wonder if I can cope at night without John around. Although Mum will be helping me, I don't really feel comfortable disturbing her beautiful sleep as well. So I guess I'll just have to bear with the sleepless night till John is back.
Xavier is growing real fast. John weighed him yesterday and guess what..my dear boy needs a "M" size diaper already..he is 7kg already...no wonder I've been feeling the strain whenever I carry him and now, can't really carry him for long...
Last night at home, John prop him up against the corner of the sofa and guess what, my baby Xavier sat up all by himself without having us supporting him. Xavier seemed to be very proud of his achievement and started laughing. But I was more concerned whether this will affect his backbone....dun want him to be a hunchback in future.... Will try to upload a pic of Xavier sitting up all by himself in the next few days...

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.
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...

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.
