Her two months old baby is adorable, though a bit plump for his age. He weighs almost 6kg, and he consumes only dairy milk. It's shocking he grow this big so fast.
The bigger one is now 11kg but the problem with him is he's way hyperactive. He eats very little but he has enough energy to wear out all adults around him. One thing he definitely is good in is his observations.
And that leads to what I notice.
I begin to notice babies who are incapable of walking, or even children under the age of 5, and those who are old enough to think independently or process the happenings around him, exhibit the basic human nature's God moulded into us when they brought us to Earth.
Look at babies - the first thing a baby does when he is brought to this world is sleeping - though undoubtedly he would first cry when he first utilises his lungs to independently gain oxygen - and continuously and unfailingly ask for love from his parents. Most babies cry very badly when they are not carried around, and most love the hugs of their parents to the point once they are separated from the warmth of another body, they would cry again as if the comfort of their lives have been forever snatched away.
Babies are a natural wonder that is the purest creation of humans. They are not smeared by the dirty politics of the society, they are not corrupted by bad characters and they are not polluted by the contamination of the environment and they certainly are not poisoned by the complicated world of the society. They have no wants for human creation - they do not crave for television programmes or technology and they have yet learnt to be picky on food and could easily get satisfied with basic milk that give sufficient nutrients for survival. They ask for nothing nature cannot provide without human interference or creation.
As they grow they learn to utilise their five senses. They explore. Some kids are ridiculously observant - they watch everything around them. And once they get hold of them, they frolic with them - and this is a manifestation of human's basic curiosity. Humans are born to be curious as this is why we have all these developments. The next thing you could see from a baby is his innovation. A simple, blunt fork may seem harmless to you, and it certainly appears useless and dull, but once a kid gets hold of it, he could play with it in any way possible and what he does with it could throw you off.
Kids can be creative. And I have always wondered where has this creativity gone too when they grow up? Why have adults lost all the creativity they have possibly shown when they were young?
Certain babies exhibit interest in certain objects they were exposed to and slowly developed to become an obsession. That probably is what will prompt them to incline to certain subjects or topics in their lives which would be the centre of their adulthood. What the kids are exposed to when they are young have considerable bearings on their future lives. Parents need to be careful with that.
I like kids a lot. They are innocent. They have not learnt to cheat, nor have they learnt to be cunning to gain what they want. They are the simplest form of humans and they have not been corrupted.
No wonder the Malay proverb says kids are like white clothes. They would turn out the way you paint them, and it is essential you paint them with proper tools, and with colour so that they shine bright and nice.
p/s I realise my English has turned from bad to worse. I've got no time to improve or maintain my English level as I do not major the language. I will strive to improve, I made that promise to myself back then and I definitely will fulfil it.
