Some December 2006 Xavier videos

E-mail Print PDF

Here is a video from tonight, including the first time Xav has said"OK". What an accent!

Here is a video from December 12, in Aachen.

 His language skills are developing quite fast now. Xav is trying to copy many words, and his vocabularly is growing; of course, he recognises more words than he speaks. So far he has not put two words together. His vocab is a mix of Indonesian and English. He says "habis" (more or less) when his juice is finished, and he calls juice "juice" (more or less). 

It is only in the past two weeks that he has starting speaking more than the most basic words, but he is acquiring new words much faster than I expected.

Xav and his Kangaroo

E-mail Print PDF
Xav has locked on to a softtoy: Helga the Mamma Kangaroo. Helga comes from the large Swedish furniture shop on the edge of town. Ikea makes great kids toys; Xav has had his moments with Sammy the Snake and Trana the snail, but the kangaroo is his inseparable companion. He can't say kangaroo yet, though.

Xav enjoys his first day at daycare

As an experiment, Xav spent his first few hours at a daycare. He had a good time: he gave a doll a bath and proudly showed to Mummy the "pizza" he cooked in the play kitchen. This gave Tris same time to do some work on her next assignment for her marketing course.

Xavier steps into the world of toddlers

Xavier is starting to walk, at last. In the last couple of days he has walked unaided for up to ten steps. Haven't seen him get up from a sitting position and then walk, but he is getting there.

Since is he 18 months old, it's about time, he was almost as late as me.

Xavier's first birthday: Photos uploaded

E-mail Print PDF

Xavier had his first birthday on January 19. On the weekend Tris organised a great birthday party, with Nasi Tumpeng (the traditional Javanese celebration banquet) and lots of guests, great and small.

I think his favourite present was the racing car Tris bought him.

 

There are photos on this site in the photo gallery.
