Xavier is Two!

I am supposed to write this last month but I have little to write about Xavier being two years old. Yes, he is now a toddler. No free ticket for him from April 2012 onwards and mommy and daddy now have to buy him a seat whenever we fly home. Ahh well, that's a sign of my little man growing up.

He is about 16 kg and reached my waistline. Someone predicted he will be same height with me when he is 12 years old.

He is now trying to mimic the words and phrases that we use. Few times he surprised me with expressions used by cartoon characters on TV. Yesterday he was walking around with a mobile phone on one ear and talking in his language, once in a while acknowledging that I am watching him.

He loves to stand in front of the mirror, making faces. He combs his hair with a combstick and sometimes my hairbrush. This of course has no effect on his hair.

Xavier and himself Part 1

This is Xavier's latest video taken end of February 2012. I used my Samsung Galaxy tab, switched the camera to face him so he can see himself being filmed. Few more videos taken but it takes time to be uploaded.  

Xavier's weekend exercise with papa - 11 March 2011

Xavier and solid food - 6th month

We have started feeding him Cerelac on daily basis. The babysitter has been giving him few spoons of Cerelac in 3 feeding time. There are sounds of protests from the little man but so far so good.

Updates on Xavier - 5 month

To start off this update, I have to mention that he is getting heavier for mommy and daddy to carry around. Doctor Reem (his pediatrician) said his weight of 8.2 kg is normal and healthy for his age. However, Mommy is getting back pain!

He can now roll to his side but not on his tummy. He knows us both now. To him, play time is with daddy and sleeping time is best with mommy. He sleeps through the night and wakes up at 5.30am the earliest. Normally he would wake up at 7am.

Teething should start soon. Just today he was practicing his biting ability with daddy's finger. We have bought him 2 teething rings a couple of months back. He is starting to wake up middle of the night and cry for few minutes and sleep again, I suspect he could be irritated by his gum.

He is more alert now and looks around with interest. His favourite song could be Burung Kakak Tua as he sings together with me whenever I sing it (the original slow version, not the rap version). He does not want to be left alone in a room for more than 5 minutes. He wants to be played with and talked to. His favourite games at the moment is peek a boo and catch me if you can.

For now, he loves Barney and all other shows with dancing and singing. Not a fan of Tom and Jerry.

End of report :-)
