Finally, some update!

Eryna : Dis lil angel is now 1yr 2mths old oredi. How time flies! No birthday bash or anything, poor Eryna. Will make it up to her somehow.

Vocabulary & cognitive development

· “nak asyi” – when hungry or anything related to food. Any food is ‘nasi’ to dear Eryna.

· “nak ket” or “nak gi” – when she wants more

· “bo” – ball

· “bey-bi” – to any babies or baby’s pix

· “nak-nak” – ‘tak nak’ in addition to shaking her head.

· Responds to simple questions or command like; “tolong amik bola tu utk mama” , “nak nasik lagi tk?”, “mana kaki?mana hidung?”

· When she wants her nen-nen or her beauty sleep, will call me up ‘mamma’ & point to our bedroom.

· Wink when she’s being playful. Wink as in blink a few times or close both of her eyes for more than 3secs.

Physical & motor development

· Got her ‘walking license’ for almost 2mths now. (I didn’t even blog about her first step & now she can almost run!) But still falls down now & then especially when she gets really excited & forgets dat she can’t walk fairly well yet, but tried to sprint instead.

· Dance to music even when it’s just a commercial on tv.

· Self-feeding. Prefers cup than her straw-bottle. Though more often that not, edge of the cup will miss her mouth & found her chin instead.

· Already masters da pincer grasp. Can pick-up small objects with thumb & forefinger. Currently like to respond with finger playing on “labah labah hitam” song aka itsy bitsy spider.

· Started potty training. Not diapers-free yet. But will point to her stomach when she’s done poo-poo.

· Still breastfeeding. Alhamdulillah. Another 10 months to go! Though I always tell myself dat I’ll keep on bf her as long as she still wants to.

· More hair to my relief. But still no sign of teeth. People keep telling me dat it’s a good thing. But dat didn’t keep me from worrying though.

New house

Alhamdulillah, officially moved in on 2^nd January 2010. Marked somewhere in my calendar as the day we’ve been officially chased out by our landlord. We were busy packing & unpacking, night & day from November till December. (One of our excuses for not organizing a birthday party for dear Eryna. Had a small celebration on our own though. With a small cake & a lifetime prayer for Eryna’s happiness)

A single-storey semi-detached kinda house. A modest & practical investment for our first home. Practical as in Eryna always go frenzy wild at the sight of stairs or escalator. Save both me & hubby the horror & trouble to ‘escort’ her up & down the stairs. Yes, been there, done dat! Crazy painful on my back. Hopefully a never to repeat experience.

No renovation been done yet. Still calculating on the pros & cons. Kitchen cabinet, done. A simple ‘U’ style, brown-black colour. Once considered red & white combination, but decided we’re more like old-fashioned kinda people & the colour’s too modern for us.. *wink*..Grill, done. Curtain, done. Furniture, almost done. Auto-gate, done. Electrical items, almost done. Cash out was really outrageous! Even those small2 things cost a lot! Currently laying low on any expenditure for our home. Will resume back on any pending items, but not anytime soon though.

Family addition

· My older brother’s married to the ever beautiful Farah Nadiah. Adi, Farah, sorry took me a really long time to announce this. Lotsa things with u noe whatever s**t stuffs. Will post more pixies, dun worry (though I dunno when..but I will, promise).

· Aunty’s pregnant. Yeay! Due somewhere in May. 2times scan shows I’m gonna have a new brother soon. Yippee!

· Got a new niece (Eryna’s second cousin). Nur Aleesya Nabila. Hope I got the name & spelling right. Congrates to both K.Julia & A.Nadzrul. Heard dat she’s a spitting image of Wawa. InsyaAllah we’ll be down there soon. Tungguu..

· Cousin, Nizam’s engaged. To be married on June. Another trip to Kelantan, yeay! Hopefully dis time we manage to do some shopping there.

There’s a lot more things to update. Will find a time to tell it all before I forgot all about it. Till then..
