Surprise, surprise

Oct 15, 2009

Our lil angel caught me with yet another surprise today.

As i let her walk herself in front of the laundry shop, she tugged my dress pointing to an opposite direction from what we used to take. I let her led the way, waiting to see what she actually wanted.

I first thought that she wanted to stop by the pool, but i was wrong. I had a second guess of course - the mini mart; but nahh, that cant be it. First, she doesnt know which way to go coz its just too difficult for a 19 mo old todd to remember. altho its located around 100m from where we stood, how can she knows where to go? i hardly brought her to the mart since she started walking. soo..she could prolly just wanna have a walk before going home. yeah..i bet you could be thinking the same too.

but to my surprise, she knows exactly which way to take and giggles everytime she got it right! and when we arrived in front of the mart's door, she finally stopped and said "haa..dahh" with a grin. meaning, dah sampai to her desired place la tu. hahaha. smart girl! it never occurred to me that a 19 months toddler would be so smart to actually direct her mom to a place she wanted & knows which route to take! memang tak boleh lupe this day. rasa nak ketawa pun ada bile sampai depan mart tu..tapi kontrol ayu la beb.

the lil angel knows what to expect bila masuk mart - goodies la kan. so dapat raisin satu kotak kecil & small pack of oreo. and surprisingly too, she didnt throw any tantrum at all today. merengek2 manja tu biasa lah. but i could do laundry, mandi, solat with peace. maybe because of the goodies? only she knows. whatever works for her works for me, for now.

in short, i feel like its too advance for a todd's milestone at 19 months. but we never know what they are capable of, right? kids, they're just full of surprises :)

Reflection

i noticed zafyra played a new game this morning - "interacting" with her own reflection. she stood in front of the dressing mirror, smiling to the image she saw. after a few moment, she began sticking out her tounge, smiling and loughing out loud showing her new set of teeth. and she did that for several times. my lil girl must have been amused to see and think that "someone else" is mimicking her.

how could i forget that laugh and smile. it just made my day.

not that serious. but it gives me good reasons to babysit her at home instead of sending her to the kindy.

she developed a nasty rash, sorta melecet & merah2. everytime she pooped, mesti nangis coz it irritates her skin badly. oh my poor baby =( yesterday morning her skin looked fine before we sent her to the kindy. but it happened again when i checked her on the evening, and even worse. so, i doubled up the cream-applying-routine from twice a day to 4 times a day.

on top of that, she kept on vomiting and refuses to take ANY meal or snack at home..which was really really odd. she would normally want to taste or eat whatever we are having, but yesterday wasnt like that. last night i had to change her 3 times (and me twice)! she even threw up once in the car on our way back home (from kindy). i figured it was caused her gassy tummy. alhamdulillah, it wasnt coz of food poisoning or anything worse. not even a slight temperature too.

she's taking her nap now..nearly 1 and 1/2 hour. so far so good, she didnt cry during bath time, cuci 'iyyakk' or poo. even her gassy tummy pun dah ok. guess the ayam halia sweet sour works =D and i must say Bepanthin rash cream really a good cure!

now back to MOH. yesterday MC coz demam, and today back to work although still having a mild fever *shiann* hope he'll get better soon!!

pinjam tudung ibu

What's the latest buzz on this lil girl? well let's see..

1. talks a lot, mostly in her own language. we tried to pick up what she said but she's using complicated vocab or maybe speaks to fast. so, no point of trying :P and she talks with so much expression. i'll put up a vid on it later

2. says 'nanakk' + run around whenever we want to put on her diaper, or being asked to eat things that doesnt tastes good to her e.g. kiwi (fruit), susu botol, etc (mood dependent), or refuses something we offer like wrong books, toys etc.

3. understands the word 'salam'. she would offer her hand and salam tangan org with a smooch 'mmuahh', followed by 'tataa' (ada finger act skali). its a routine every morning before we drop her off to taska, or to greet people (we asked to 'salam'). MOH says its a good trick kalau nak collect byk duit raya this year! LOL

4. recognizes cat! be it a real cat, cartoon or drawings! whenever she sees one, she'd say 'yeoww, yeoww' followed by 'tsskk, tsskk' kinda sound like when you want a cat comes to you. i think she learns faster when recognizes real object (my mom bela kucing sampai 6 ekor and she stayed there quite a while during my outstation trips). so any representation of the real thing, she can easily identify what it is. so my next mission is to bring her to the zoo, iAllah when she's really in a perfect shape.

5. loves to play with kain. any kain would do. she'd place the kain around her neck/shoulder and starts to talk like saudagar kain hehehe. the time she loves most is during cloth folding session. she would start picking one cloth after another, and places it on around her. i guess she tried to imitate me asingkan the clothes before doing the laundry.

6. loves to read, a lot! i dont understand much coz my french is a bit rusty LOL. anyways, 'wwahhh' is the most word she would use, and pointing her fingers to the objects/pictures is what she usually does. again, ni mcm imitate cara ibu/ayah read to her =)

7. latest, she can differentiate between songs and zikir. she would dance (pusing badan kiri kanan, clap hands or angkat2 kaki sambil buat pusingan) for songs and hayun badan ke depan ke belakang for zikir, sitting politely. alhamdulillah, it took me only once to teach her this - by letting her watch what i'm doing when hearing the zikir.

8. eats almost anything we eat. but i'm still strict on her diet. once in a while, we're sharing fries, nuggets or pies. but most of the time, i'd limit her intakes on oily food. few attempts on seafood, no allergy so far..alhamdulillah.

9. alert us whenever she wants to or finishes poo-ing by saying 'iyyakk'. then the foul smell would follow *runnn!* LOL

10. being a water baby, she loves water all the time!! bath time, clean up time (after 'iyyakk'), basuh tangan time.. anything associated with water, you name it. and she would drop anything in her hands and run for it hehehe..

11. very shy, especially to strangers. she would smile and grin all right, but noo touchy. at one ocassion, she walked behind my legs (hands tucked to my pants and hid her face) while walking into the elevator @ the nearby Jusco. punyela susah nak jalan. nasib baik those people dlm lif tu mmg eager to see her, so they wait patiently. .. ahahah.

11. still loves breastfeeding, refuses bottle-feeding @ home.

ada lagi, but laters lah. good night!

Those Toothless Days..

are over! So there she goes, 1st tooth erupts at her 9th mo. To our surprise, she had no fever, runny nose or cold. Just a minor cough, that's all. I only came to know of it last Friday when i finger-fed her banana for breakfast. Sedar2 je trasa ada gigi on her gum!

toothless by you.

With that latest milestone of hers, it added more suspense to me coz she's still on BFing *ouch!*

Shopping Updates

1st update for hasil tangkapan season ini.

finally bought zafyra a new convertible carseat. her 1st one was a babycarrier which backrest couldnt be adjusted to suit her age. everytime letak je, she would perform the pusingan maut - ala2 crocodile yg nak lemaskan mangsa dlm air hehehe. so, we decided for a new one. if it wasnt because of me and MOH working at different places, it may not be a must-get-item for her at all.

anyways, here goes our Irene Zafyra in her Globe Clairs. very the happy baby! *_^

gc by you.

love the pattern, material, color, design and of coz the kaching! worth every $$ spent. it has 4 pts adjustable backrest, 3 position adjustable shoulder belts, head protector & 5 pt harness. in terms of price, its quite moderate. bole pakai till she's 4..so to us arnd RM350 price tag is pretty much reasonable.

best part is, zafyra always feel content when seated in it.in fact,she always got sleepy during the 10 mins drive btwn home to her taska =)

11 days to 7 mo

and here's what she's on today:

1. Morning. while MOH and me were busy settling ourselves with the morning routine i.e. bath, dressing up for work (sambil tgk tv) etc

2. Evening. after-office bonding session

Poor MOH wasnt around to see her evening act. i was myself surprised watching her sat on her own. igtkan tonggeng2 nak poo...rupanya nak duduk! just so u know, baby IZ hasn't master her crawling skill yet altho she can now balance well on her hands and knees. not sure which one shud come 1st - crawl or sit; but one thing for sure, we need to immediately babyproof our home!

Unwell (again)

baby IZ's been down with another cough n cold episode since last Tuesday. she was extremely healthy when i picked her up from nanny's home last friday, but things turned otherwise this morning. the temperature she got and frequent cough (pleghmy) makes me worried even more. since paed's clinic close on sundays, we went to the GP instead. tomorrow she's on a follow-up session with doc A.

i pray hard that baby IZ's condition is a lot better than before, when she had her 1st share of camping out @ the hospital =( hopefully she's not developing any kinda major lower-respiratory disease this time.. altho somehow she kinda fits into this RAD symptom (from my own observation). anyhow..lets play your part here by praying that she's gonna back to her feet in no time! *ameen*

i can read!

see that expression on her face? bersungguh-sungguh betul nampaknya bila zafyra membaca. actually that's how she looks like whenever she feels like talking (read:babbling) a lot. at times dia bercerita sampai kerut2 dahi and besar-kecikkan mata dia o_0

btw, her vocab has tremendously grows within last few weeks. from the plain "aaaa.. aaa..aaa" to "aaaaaa nyanyanyanyaaaa" or "huu huuu" said in several tunes. sometime she shrieks "aaaahhh" followed by giggles. when she wakes up from slumber and finds no one besides her, she'd make an "eeiikk"-ish sound..bunyik mcm nak nangis. its challenging to understand her moods & demands by only listening so we usually check on her (especially when she's left alone in her playpen) just to make sure dat she's not crancky whatsover.

iyyahh

physically, zafyra has mastered meniarap and move around in her playpen though x berapa pantas sgt. sejak terer meniarap ni, sekejap je dia baring and be back on her tummy in no time. now she could hardly put her legs down when lying on her back. legs easily brought up to her chest and most of the time stokin yg dipakai pun nak tarik masuk mulut. isk isk isk.. tengokla kat gambar tu kalau tak percaya

anyways, our baby will be 6mo insya-Allah in 2++ weeks. it's been 10 full days fasting & BFeeding zafyra dengan jayanya. alhamdulillah my EBM is at normal level (though several times i was afraid of running low). so far so good. i managed to nurse her the whole day last weekend. everyday i make sure to drink at least 5 glasses of water at night and at least 2 more during sahur. and not to mention heavy meals (nasi of course) for iftar. hopefully we'll be good sepanjang Ramadhan ni and i can continue BF zafyra even when she started on solids.

last but not least, lets enjoy this picture and laugh out loud with her, shall we? ;)
