Night Stop In KL

We had to spend one night in KL before we proceeded to Manchester on Etihad Airlines. Luckily Uncle Ayah was in KL training so we were able to crash at his place for the night. When we arrived, Uncle Ayah told us to put our luggage down so we could go out & eat. One night in KL and I loved it to bits!!!

Dear Sweet pea,

A Congratulations is now in order!!! You are officially potty trained! Day & night. Alhamdullillah. Nanny Vina definitely trained you well! The first week, we had a few accidents in the day time. Whilst at night we just let you use diapers. But every morning your diapers were always dry, so during the second week, you slept with no diapers and guess what! No wet bed! I think those little accidents you had in the daytime finally got you trained to control your wee-wee. Mummy is proud of you!

Late last month, it was pre-arranged that you would spend a night at Mami-Nah's house (alone). It was going to be your first sleepover. I told you about it that lunchtime and you spend the afternoon packing your Trunki case. I dropped you off in the early evening and made my way home. It was a quiet evening at home so I just plonked myself on the couch and watched a DVD while daddy played games downstairs. At a quarter to midnight, I get a message. It said you were on your way home because you were crying for me. Awww....kesian anak mummy. I guess its still not time for us to be separated. The following day we went for Hi-Tea with Grandma & Auntie CeCe. You were a cheeky little lady trotting around the Empire Atrium.

Early this month, we spent an afternoon at Auntie Mamah's house. Hapidz was sleeping when we go there but he woke up later on. Auntie Mamah passed you a soft purple chair which has now become your booster seat in daddy's car. I realized this month that you love playing "Angry Birds" on my i-touch. You call it "Angy Bud".

Every night before you settle down, you seem to religiously do a poop. Since you are under my care at night, you poop in my bathroom. The first time you did it, I sat you down and held you so you wouldn't fall into the toilet bowl. After you were done, I washed you and flushed the toilet. You looked into the bowl and said, "Bye Bye Poo Poo, See you, Goodnight!". I found that to be too too cute!!! You are too friendly my love, even with your own poop!

We went to an amazing new park this month. Its one of daddy's hidden treasures so we dubbed it "Daddy Park". Its a park & beach in one area. How cool is that. While you played on the beach, mummy, daddy & uncle BB went jogging on the beach. It was a tiring workout for mummy but I'm glad you enjoyed the place! That same weekend you did a modelling shoot with Zane & Baby Farris for Butik Bajoo.

Last week, while you were at Jungle Gym with Kaka Arisha, mummy baked cookies for the first time. You seemed to love them, so did daddy! You actually had a jar of strawberry jam with your cookies. The next day was your Nanny's day off, so we occupied ourselves and did painting outside on the porch. You seemed to like doing that very much.

Until next month my love, xoxo

My Baby Girl all grown up

My dear babygirl,

Alhamdullillah, another milestone has been reached. Time seems to fly so fast and you such a chatterbox now....with attitude! Since you have already taken over the family TV room and the hallway with all your toys, mummy prefers none of your toys to be in mummy & daddy's room but you keep on bringing little knick knacks into our room. One night I told you to stop bringing your toys into our room, you looked rather disappointed but obediently picked up your toys and headed towards the door. Before closing the door, you said cheekily "Bye Gurlfren!"

Early this month, you did your first 'wee' or as you call it "she'she" on the toilet. Well done baby girl. I think the potty training is going well, so far, so good. As usual we went over to Grandma's and you surprised me. I do not expect you to know the days of the week at this age but funnily enough you seem to know one day of the week. Your favourite day. The day you get to spend an educationally 30 minutes in the car with Grandma. Your Toddler Group day. You kept on telling Grandma, On Wednesday, Mia go school okay."

Since you were born, we mainly used the English language around you but now, as you have grown older, we mix our words, sometimes mummy & daddy speak to you in English and Malay. You are sloly catching on to some malay words. You like saying "Karang" and "Setajap". Its so cute. This month you came up with a self-made word. We were out and about and when it was time to go home, as I was driving into our simpang and you said, "Don't want go home, I want go SINA." I just smiled to myself, knowing you were trying so hard to use the right word.

This month, you have learnt how to draw a perfect circle and number one. I think the application on mummy's i-touch that daddy downloaded helps with control of tracing . Mummy is also very proud of you this month as you have finally accomplished Daytime potty training. Since you sleep with us in our bed, I dont want to risk you 'making an accident' at night while you sleep. So, you still wear diapers when u sleep.

After spending the morning with grandpa & grandma, you came home with a new antic. You started saying, "Mummy, shum shum", then you would grab my head and sniff my cheek. Rupanya you learnt to 'cium' the malay way. Its so cute. Now our goodbye ritual would be, Salam-kiss-hug and shum!

This is what she gets up to when she's bored

Every weekend, since mummy doesn't work, I try to entertain you some way of the other. Earlier this week, I brought you to watch your first sunset at Jerudong beach. You seemed to have enjoyed just sitting there eating your keropok whilst the wind was blowing through your hair. This weekend, we spent in the kitchen making pizza, unfortunately you were too tired after spending the day with your cousins. I love you my sweetums!!!!

29 months Today!

My Darling Daughter,

Another month has passed and your antics just keep on getting cuter & funnier. At the end of last month, we were heading out to see Abby and as we left the house, daddy was retuning home. As we passed him, I rolled down the window and told him where we were off to. You said "Bye Daddy" followed by, " Daddy Bekayful okay, have titak there!" So young yet so concerned for your daddy and the cicaks on the door. I found that to be too cute!

Your character is definitely blooming. During that same week, you & daddy were having dinner in the TV room. Since you had your little table, daddy had his dinner on your portable tray. When you saw that, you too wanted to use the tray. I told you daddy is the boss, let him borrow it for a while. He will return it after he has finished. You reluctantly agreed and said okay. Then you looked at your daddy and said, "Eh, you ah!"....macam mummy! Lol

Another funny episode was when I overheard you pretend talk on the phone. Your conversation went a little something like this; "Hello, Abang Irshad?, Hi Abang, Do you want to talk? Okay, Talk lah...bla bla bla....okay abang irshad, I go sleep now, good night, okay bye, bah ok bah bah bye, bah bah!"....so many "bahs"! hahaha. I also overheard you once having a romantic conversation with 'someone', and said "I'm sorry, I'm sorry bah, I love you"....I have no idea where you got that from!

Earlier this month, Daddy went to KL so to entertain you, that weekend I brought you to the circus. Well, it wasn't an actual animal circus, more towards, juggling and high wire acts. That sunday, we went to Mama's house, then to see Grandpa then to JP to see the acts. We saw one man juggling fire and you said "Ooo..nice. Want to try!" So berani!

Mummy has come to realize you have taken after your father. You love music & songs. You have your own taste in music. I was listening to the radio in the car and this song came on; Christina Perri's Jar of hearts, when it ended you said "again". Belabih. I took you to a wedding this month. Auntie Yati. A friend of mummy's and family friends with mummy'nah. It was at the Polo club and we had to park far away. Luckily they provided a shuttle bus for us. You enjoyed the ride and kept on saying, "Like the bus." In the hall, we saw Auntie Yati all dressed up on the projector screen. You made me smile when you said, "That Princess kan, mummy."

Here are some of the phrases that you have said and have stuck in my head;
"I no pandai", your reply after I told you to do something.
"I cannot", another reply after telling you to do something.
"My hand sakit, its too panas.", when we were in the car on a hot hot day.

Insyallah, by next month you will be potty trained. We are in the process of trying now and hope you ace this milestone love. The less pampers you use baby, the more toys you can buy!!!

First Trip to the Beach

Mummy & Daddy decided to finally bring you to the beach & let you feel the fresh sea breeze on your face. Mummy wanted you to experience playing in the sand and not think of it as being yucky! We also wanted you explore & appreciate one of the wonders of the world, the sea. At first you were quite cautious with the little waves splashing onto your feet. You kept on running away. But eventually, when your daddy was beside you, you started to enjoy the water and ran around like a headless chicken. All Mummy could say was "Berani eh!" I think if you had your own way and if you could swim, you'd probably start swimming towards the sea. On our way home, you said, "Mummy, next time go beach again...". I'm glad you enjoyed it my love.
