Baby Xenetia @ 1 Week Old

2 days old Xenetia still at the hospital

                                            Carrying 3 days old Xenetia in my arms

She literally popped out a week ago, on the 17th Aug.

She's officially 1 week old now.

My baby has developed a sense of taste recognition.

She will hungrily suck on to the bottle nipple if she's given milk; pushes her lips forward to push the bottle away when it's plain water.

She has learned to express herself by crying whenever she wets her nappy and immediately stops when she's completely changed into new nappies.

Baby Xenetia has a very sweet smile.

She gave a wide smile today after successfully bullied her grandmother. She managed to stay tight lipped when fed with plain water to cure her hiccup until her grandmother gave up.

Wide awake and wanting to have a chat at 10 days old

Baby Xenetia has her ways of getting what she wants, i.e. through crying out loud.

Even in my womb, she was one restless soul and she still shows the trait after she's out. Her eyes are always rolling and her hands and legs are constantly moving when she's sleeping. At
times, she'll open her eyes.

As a baby, she should be sleeping most of the time, but she can't. She's always awake, with eyes wide open, and very alert to sounds and voices.

However, once being cuddled, she'll immediately dozed off soundly. Babies feel insecure, I think, when she can't sense her parents' or guardian's presence.

She's gained weight and is at a healthy 3.64kg.
