Little milestones

Kendrick is now just over 2 months old and in the last 2 to 3 weeks, I have noticed little milestones in his pattern and behaviour. He continues to smile a lot whenever we smile and talk to him, particularly after drinking his milk. Happy and satisfied I suppose! He also started to make little baby noises about 2 weeks ago. It then became more frequent as we talked to him that it has grown to baby words like 'ah', 'gee', 'ah goo' etc. Interesting indeed. This little boy is learning to talk already! You can see it when he opens his mouth and curls his tongue before some of those sounds come out. I guess he is learning from us and watching our mouths as we talk. So far, he is most talkative during his bath time.

Another not so good habit that Kendrick has picked up though is to lick/suck his right hand. It started out as a signal that he was hungry and I thought that was pretty smart. But just one day last week, this action of his suddenly became more frequent! Before milk, after milk, basically when lying down by himself, he would every now and down try to place his right hand or rather mitten at his mouth to lick. Although he does not lick his hand for very long, he keeps repeating the action again and again. Tried telling him no many times and putting his hand down each time I caught him doing that. The main thing is, I'm not quite willing to give him the pacifier yet. Still waiting to see if he will grow out of this! Gosh..how do babies learn so fast ya?! Must be all the milk he's drinking...lol...
