All About Xuan..

Someone commented recently that i seem to have less update on Xuan in my blog.
I must say that it is definitely not deliberate.

Just that with Xuan, it is a very indescribable experience.
For one, his babble is currently limited to screaming for food, and "there!!" for everything, coupled with his signature hand sign. I must try to capture a picture of that. Think it is at the beginning of the video below.

For another, he is a very jovial and easy baby. And to an extent, i think that makes him sometimes, a pretty much overlooked baby..

As far as updates and photos go, there have been a few developments with him recently.

We started him on some classes some time back.. and now he is going to Kindyroo weekly.
It is a rather strange experience i must say.
In that class, there are only 2 - 3 babies, Xuan and Louis are Chinese and then Isaac (an Australian Chinese baby I think).
And then, the class has a mix of different activities but all aimed at strengthening the sensory experiences and preparing the child for gym activities later on.

Xuan is the most "steady" baby in the class, an absolute contrast to En at the same age.
He wonders around the gym and the class area on his own fours, exploring, crawling and even looking at other babies when he feel like it.

He does not stick to us like a glue. He takes new experiences quite well, whether its crawling beneath the parachute, or chasing after the bubbles or hanging from the monkey bars.
And for now, i revel in this reckless side of him.. and he has the looks and attitude to go with it.


Xuan is also very good at snatching things, namely from his older brother.
from the toys, to snacks. and everything else I guess..

xuan has the most marvelous laugh. It is something that never fails to make me smile. And even when I hear his chuckles in my head, a smile appears on my face. I just can't help it.

Then again, he is also a great actor. He has this special whining look - his eyes squinting hard, as if he is trying to squeeze tears outta his eyes as he tries to manipulate whoever to get him what he wants. Check out a video os his famous look here!



Even when he is sleeping, he makes me smile.
It is so uniquely him. How his head must lie on one of the many bolsters.
How his chubby feet touches the edge of the cot.
How he always looks so "boorish" like a big man, totally exhausted from his chores.



... Xuan is a baby that is hard to ignore. And definitely a force to be reckon with.
In each of his little, and endlessly endearing ways, he storms and chuckles his way into our hearts..

That is how I feel about Xuan Xuan..
