Titus is such a darling and everything he does seems to melt our hearts.
Yesterday he surprised us with a loud "HUH?" while the husband and I were distracted by
the TV. He did it again this morning when I was staring into space. It
was as if he wanted to know why the attention wasn't on him. :)
He has also seemed to have gained some independence
lately. He's now 68 days old, and the past three days he has allowed me
to put him down in his cot for at least five minutes, as long as I turn
the musical mobile on. That's just enough time for me to dash to the
toilet, brush my teeth, pee and dash right back to pick him up as he
starts to grimace.
I have also been able to put him in
the bassinet and a little chair the paternal grandparents had bought him, and play with his hands and feet while singing to him. In the earlier days,
he would wail to the high heavens whenever I did that. Nowadays, he 'talk' to me during play time and chuckle silently. I love these moments!
And oh boy is he smiling a lot lately! There was an evening when the good husband had baby on his lap and held his little fists, pounding them on the dining table as he mimicked an angry Hitler, going "Nein! Nein! Nein!". Baby laughed so hard! If only he could already vocalise his laughter, it would have been music to our ears!
I think Titus is such a happy little child. He hardly throws tantrums and his cries are always for a reason and are seldom long-drawn. I like to think that his peaceful temperament must have been due to my happy pregnancy. :)
Mummy love you, Titus. You are my happy pill!
