Randomness

Well, I know I have not been writing much here lately. I have no excuse but being damned tired and busy, oh and sick.

Felix is doing well. He is getting bigger and more interested in his world. It will not be long before he is crawling around getting into mischief and causing altogether different headaches from what he causes now.

He SEEMS, and I am trying to be unbiased here, to be more intelligent than average. For comparison I have a former co-worker's daughter. She and Felix are a lot different, things that she should respond to, so I feel, she does not. Felix seems to be much more interested in things around him and in general to be much brighter than my co-worker's daughter is at the moment. Siew agrees with me that he seems to be smarter than average.

He has also become tricky. He wants people to hold him and walk around with him. He will cry and cry when this does not happen. Poor Siew is at her wit's end dealing with him all of the time. I wish I could help her more, but I have to work. For me, he does not do this as much. That may not be true now that I think about it. It might be that he is the same with us both, but since he sees me less he does not do it as much. It is a matter of averages.

He is growing fast. He loves to play superman. This is a game where I lay on my back and hold him in the air and I "fly" him around. Occasionally he "lands" on my stomach in a standing position. I have a few other games that he likes to play, like kung-fu where I move his hands and feet in martial arts like motions. I have been trying to encourage him to crawl by laying him on his stomach and giving him something to push from using his feet. He is not strong enough to pick his body up yet, but he can crawl a few centimeters on his own. He does not like to do this yet though.

He is an alert boy who loves to watch people. He is always calm and happy when we go out shopping. He refuses to sleep during these times. He is too busy watching people.

Siew and I are both tired, but we love the times when Felix is happy and chatty. We love to see him develop. He is even trying to roll over, a little, on his own and even trying to sit up.

There is a lot for us to worry about with regard to him, but we will do our best for him. He is our wonderful little boy.
