Asher's Seven.

My son is on his seventh week already. Time does fly really fast, doesn't it?

Here's how my baby is growing according to Babycenter.com:

You may notice short periods of time when your newborn is quiet and alert. This is prime time for learning: Your baby's brain will grow about 5 centimeters during his first three months!

Use these calm intervals to get better acquainted with your baby — talk to him, sing to him, describe the pictures on the walls. He may not be able to add to your conversation just yet, but he's learning nonetheless.

New textures for his hands to feel and new sights and sounds (all in moderation) are all learning opportunities. Even bath time becomes a laboratory for understanding life.

Further, it is also the stage for sensory development. During Asher's quiet time or whenever we put him to sleep, we sing to him lullabies especially his favorite nursery rhyme, Busy Days. My mom on the other hand lull him to sleep with Ilocan folk songs. According to babycenter, it doesn't matter what song will be sung to him. In fact it is actually advisable to play different genres or types of music. For some babies, they even enjoy the sound of wind chimes or a ticking clock. The more varied the offerings, the richer the impact.
