Chloe @ 2months+

How time flies... Little Chloe is now already 2 months old, halfway thru to 9 weeks now. From those early days, when just a cry from Chloe will send everyone in the family scattering around, trying to figure out what she wanted, I'd say that we have come to understand her moods and patterns better, and consequently, manage her even better.

A short recap of her 2-month progress:

- For the first month plus, she loved to stare at the ceiling. Whether she is attracted by the bright lights, or the spinning fan, or both, I dunno. But no matter where we brought her to, she will be studiously gazing at the ceiling. However in the past few weeks, as her vision improved she now liked to focus her sights more on people, meaning daddy & mummy and ah-gong & ah-ma.

- We have started to tell her stories and sing her lullabies. I'm not sure how much she understood, but it's never too early to start, and everyone loves how she will keep her focus on us, as we talk , sing and make funny sounds to her.

- For someone so young, she is already quite a fan of the TV. When we placed her at the sofa, she would inevitably turn her head to the direction of the TV, undoubtably attracted by the sound and bright colours in that direction.

- She likes to take photos more these days. When mummy takes out her camera, Chloe is more willing to oblige by looking at the camera and striking some nice poses, as seen above and below :-)

Chloe has a new rocking chair...

Chloe's other new toy, a musical merry-go-round, with pooh bear, tigger, piglet and yee-ore dancing around.



Here's Chloe's progress at week 5:


- She laughed out loud for the first time on Sat 31 May... ok lah... more like a chuckle, but daddy and ah-gong, who were fortunate to be around when it happened, were estactic.

- She don't put her hand into her mouth that often anymore compared to the first couple of weeks... probably she realised that her mittens din taste as good as milk... haha

- She has more strength and can even raise her head. With that, she can now lie on her belly, and at night these days, ah-ma would coax her to sleep by putting chloe on her body, belly down... like this

- Oh yeah, she also likes to kick and swing her hands a lot, esp when daddy holds her... daddy got hit by her swinging hands quite a lot these days...
