Visit to the Zoo

Today is my first visit to the zoo.

If you think the zoo is some dirty, smelly place.. well you are wrong! Mummy was marvelling at how much the zoo has changed over the years.. Of cos la mummy, the last time you went was on your school's excursion which was like thousand of years ago...

I really love to see the beautiful animals and was very excited when a real parrot came so close to me! I felt as if he was going to bite my hand....*ouch*! Thank goodness baba protected me from it. Too bad I am not able to walk yet so baba had to carry me all of the time. Mummy and baba said that the next time when I can walk they will bring me to the zoo again since I really enjoyed myself so much.

Ok pl kep your promise ok? We need to go for another trip before mummy becomes busy when my new sibling arrives...

Playmate

Yes, yes... please all congratulate me!

I am going to have a lil' brother or sister!

Mummy and abah told me today that something is growing inside mummy's tummy and this something will grow into a baby, just like how I was last time. Wow, this is amazing! How did that get into mummy's tummy in the first place? Hmmm... Ok that aside.
Anyway they both keep telling me that I am going to be an abang soon so I have to love the baby when he/she arrives in August.

If it is going to be a little brother, I can share all my toys with him. Best part is that since I am going to be the abang, I can make him clean up ALL the toys after we have finished playing with them. Now I got to do it all by myself leh and it is tiring, you know!

If it is going to be a little sister, I will be a big brother to her and protect her if any other boys were to disturb her. Nobody bullies Danyaal's lil sister, ok?

I cannot wait!

What is happening?

Something is brewing around the house.....

I wish I know what it is.

Mummy came back and started telling me that she has to stop giving me breastmilk.

What?! Cannot lidat one leh.. I have been drinking that and only that. I dunno what is going on but I heard baba telling mummy that it is a good thing and that she should not be feeling so sad since I will not be so lonely anymore. Yeah come to think of it, mummy looked very sad today and she kept kissing my forehead as she puts me to sleep.

Can anybody tell me what is happening?

Yummy Waffles

Waffles never tasted so good....

Thick, melted chocolate spreaded over hot and freshly toasted waffles, plus the blissful feeling of baba feeding me mouthful after mouthful..

Hmmm... the simple joys of life.

My Gym

Abah and mummy decided to send me for a trial session at My Gym Fitness Centre. Mummy said that since I am so hyper and cannot keep still half of the time, perhaps I may like the gym class since I can climb up and down and crawl all I want.

I enjoyed myself throughly during the trial and mummy decided to sign me up for a term. Thanks mummy!

Now I can put my motor skills to good use. Although I like the class, but I really hate it when the teachers all want to do group activities together. Aiyo, so boring leh... So I always crawl away and mummy have a hard time trying to make me join back the group... *mischievious grin*

I am 1!!

1 year ago

Now

Thank you mummy and baba for throwing a special 1 year old party for me!
I have finally turned ONE! How time flies... Just a year ago I was still in my mummy's arms, fresh from the "oven"
And now I am, learning and discovering so many things that I can do! Yeah!

Here is my report card at one year old : -
-Able to stand steadily but still not able to walk yet.
-Continue to crawl at monstrous speed.
-My very first word is "fauuuuu-wer" (flower).... thats all, for now.
-Play ball with baba, although I still cannot kick yet but it thrills me to see the ball rolling towards me.
- I love my CARS and gym classes every weekend!
- Am starting to see my crowning glory.

Check out the slideshow for the highlights of the day. Lastly thank you all the uncles and aunties and everyone else who turned up for my party. I love the presents!

It's growing....

I do miss being botak actually.

Now that mummy has stopped shaving me, I feel that my whole head is very "poke-ky"..

Argh... mummy was just telling baba that perhaps she should just continue to shave my hair cos I seem to be scratching my head more often nowadays.

Hair, hair, pls grow faster ok?

Happy Birthday Mummy!

Baba bought a nice cake, a bunch of lovely daisies and a card for mummy. I dunno what did abah wrote in the card but then hor I think must be something quite touching lah cos i saw mummy's eyes glistening... Hmmm what do you think it is ah? I pray that Mummy will always be in good health and may she stay happy as ever..And Insya Allah my our family be blessed and be happy always.

Selamat Hari Raya!!

I am so sorry....

Mummy has been so busy with her new job that she has no time to perch me on the computer for me to blog so that is why there have been no updates for quite some time. Ok, I promise I will try to be diligent and blog more often ok?

Anyways, this is the first year I am spending Hari Raya with everyone cos last year I was still in mummy's tummy. Yipee! I m so happy that I get to collect moolah 2x a year! Of cos, mummy said that I cannot spend this $$ and that she will keep it safely in the trust fund.

Here are some pics. See, I looked just like abah in my first baju kurung.

Erm actually hor half of the time I felt so hot and uncomfortable but seeing mumy's excited face when she put on the baju for me, I got no heart to protest.. Mummy, you happy can already.

Botak no more

Finally today marks the last day when mummy shave my head. Soon you all will be able to see how I look like with hair. Hmm.. actually I kind of used to being without hair all these months. I wonder how is it like to have something growing on my head. Here is a few last look before you all sport me with my crowning glory. Stay tuned!

*Yawns*

Mummy at work again.. Busy playing with the b&w function in her phone

Update at 9 months...

Seems like yesterday that I was still in mummy's stomach. ... I am officially 9 months old today and here is my report card:

- Can crawl at monster speed.

- Know how to stand but still afraid to let go... later fall down how??

- Kiss mummy when she begs me to... actually sometimes I think she is mistaken cos actually I want to chew her nose cos it looks yummy.

- Panic when I don't see mummy or abah around me after a while... adults call it separation anxiety.

- Afraid. Very afraid of the sound of blender and vacuum cleaner.

- Giggle especially when I hear women with high pitched voice..

- Can tell what is "No, Danyaal" especially when mummy give me dagger stare. Sometimes to irritate her, I will still continue to do it.

- Loves playing catching with Abah.... but of cos I run in my walker.

- Loves Brainy Baby's Laugh & Learn... can watch a thousand times and still I won't get bored.

- Loves fish porridge with cauliflower & potato... yum!

- Hates getting my hair shaved... just need to suffer one more month before I can see my crowning glory.

- Still hates the stroller and car seat. Public enemy number one.

- Still bo geh... will my teeth ever grow???

Zoom Zoom!!

Mummy and abah are so sick of carrying me all the time so they got me a walker and prayed very hard that I will like being in it. Wa...I think that is the best investment they made. I loved zooming around in my new walker! And I can explore around the house without being reStrained... How I hate being in the car seat and stroller... Yucks!

Think they both can have some peace before I start to learn to crawl and walk... Little terror, here I come!

Ouch!!!!

I fell from the bed last night... *Bawls*

Much as I enjoy rolling around mummy's bed, I certainly do not enjoy doing that when they are not around to watch me.. I woke up for my milk as usual and rolled over and before hitting the floor, I hit the fan stand. Wa, very pain leh! Mummy actually did a 100 m dash when she heard me stirred but I was too fast for her to even attempt to dive to catch me..Abah immediately rushed in and pacified me while I chewed on his shoulder for comfort.

This is the second time already..

To all the mummies and daddies out there. Pls do not take for granted and leave us on the bed unattended cos we are faster than you think we are.

Mummy got a big scolding from grandma when she called this morning with her usual " How's my cutie????"
Mummy, pls be more careful next time ok?

A Day at the Beach

It was a holiday yesterday and we decided to head down east coast for a picnic with uncle Muk, aunty Hanni, aunty Lissa as well as abang Hamzah and kakak Najeeha.
The weather was perfect and we were all very excited.
Aunty Hanni made nice yummy fried rice, as well as egg mayo sandwich. I still bo geh so cannot eat lor.. can only drool at the nice aroma that filled the air as she opened the tupperware.
Hmmm...

I went swimming with abah as usual but this time I clung on to him for dear life... I was feeling quite scared and was practically shivering. Perhaps the water was quite cold and also it had been quite some time since I last swam so I was beginning to get a bit fearful. But Abah's strong arms were there to assure me that everything would be ok. We swam for about 45 mins and then stopped as I was getting tired.

After a nice bath aunty Lissa brought me for a stroll.
The leaves of the balmy trees rustled along with the cool wind and soon I was off to Lalaland.. After a good nap I was getting hyper active again and played with abang hamzah and kakak Najeha.

It was a wonderful afternoon and we all enjoyed ourselves very much!
More picnics in future please!!

Gong Xi Gong Xi!

Yippee! I get to celebrate Chinese New Year this year!
See my red baju... thanks to Aunty Raihana for getting it for me.
Although I was literally swimming in it, it was quite fun to be wearing this. I felt like a Kung Fu master...
* Ka-Pow!!!*

We finally visited great-grandma on the last day of CNY. Great grandma has been in-out of hospital for the past 2 weeks. A lot of them said I look so much like abah... I secretly think it is because I am tanned.. muahahaha!
But got some uncles and aunties commented that I am a handsome boy. I could almost see abah smiling from ear to ear cos that actually indirectly meant that he is handsome...

Mummy decided to open all the ang paos today. Harvest for this year is not bad.. All this will go into Danyaal's Trust Fund. Insya Allah, it will grow with the years to come....

3 Months and counting.....

Bye bye mummy...

I am going to miss him....
Although going back to work means getting my life back, which is something I quite yearn for after being a cave woman for 3 whole months, I can't help but feel very sad. Afterall we have been with each other everyday and to think that from tomorrow onwards, I will not be the one doing all the things for him... bathing him, feeding him, singing lullabies to him.. All these just leave a huge lump in my throat.
Since his arrival, he has caused so much emotions in both of us. Tears of frustration when I dunno what he is crying for. Heart being torn into pieces when he cried for one hour from pain due to his circumcison...The closeness that bind us together whenever I nurse him. The warmness he fills our heart whenever he coos at us. The joy he brings whenever he greets us with a smile first thing in the morning. I will miss so many of his "firsts". His first attempt at crawling... his first vowel.. his first chuckle... *signs*
Well I guess that is what all working mothers have to face.

Today is the last day that mummy and I are going to spend the day together cos from tomorrow onwards I will be taken care by nenek already.
Mummy is going back to work tomorrow. I know she is very sad because this morning she bathed me, I saw tears in her eyes. How I wish I can put my arms around her and tell her it's ok, I will be in good hands and ask her not to be feel sad.

Mummy, I will miss you too.
But you need to work.
Cos you need to buy me more toys.

Muahahahaha!

First Smile

This is my first official "Smile-at-the-camera" photo.

Mummy got so excited that she started clicking away with her hp cos it was one of the rare times that I responded to her when prompted.

Here it is...

Can don't work for milk a not?

Mine is free mah.....
