My baby girl can now officially walk at 6 days shy of her 11 months birthday!
I don't even know where it all started... it was a slow and eventual event... she has been up on her feet for awhile now... I think she first stood up supported when she was 7 months... and she started to cruise when she was 8 months... since then she just loves to have someone hold her up and 'tatih' her around the house and I must tell you... it is superbly tiring to the waist trying to entertain her 'bertatih' as she just throws a fit when you stop! :P
The first step she took was around 9 months when she would subconsciously walk up to you though only a few steps before she would fall on her bum bum. Even then it was rare and far in between. Then at 10 months the rare little steps would be more frequent and longer... she even started getting up and picking up toys and doing her little jiggly dance... hahahaha... it was a sight to see... :) in a matter of a couple of weeks, she went from just a few steps and jiggly dance... to a full walk from one end to another. That's when I got a brilliant idea to get her new shoes. I finally noticed that the shoes she's wearing seems a bit tight and she always hates it when I put her on the ground when she's wearing them.
My BFF advised me to try Stride Rite and looking at the designs, I fell in love. The shoes are also light so it'll sure to be comfortable for her little feet. The first day we got it... she wore it... and voila! She started walking on her own... All the way at Empire (24.12.11) as mummy went shopping.. she was happy with all the Christmas deco and was merrily fascinated with the trees around. We even went for a window shopping session at Toys R Us, just baby, me and daddy... hehehe... It was an amazing experience... can't believe how much she's grown! *sob!*
At 2.95kg... her days were spent gazing into my eyes... and eventually her arms started flailing... trying to catch the stars... finding her way to her tummy at 3months, she worked her way to a crawl at 5 months... and found freedom to stand up at 7 months... now at almost 11 months... weighing a mere 7.5kg... she can walk right next to me... *eyes tearing* love, love, love....
at 11 months (almost):
1. Can pick up her toys while standing up
2. Respond when you call out her name
3. Can kiss when requested... either with her lips... or she will give you her cheek or forehead
4. Loves her Duck-Duck toy, a gift from her daddy when she was 10 months...
5. Still loving Barney and only Barney... though she has shown interest in almost all nursery rhymes
6. Will start dancing when her favorite songs are on... 'Where is Pinky', 'I love You', .... there is a lot :P
7. Favorite music instrument is the drum... or anything that can make a banging sound
8. Will try and grab a toy from another baby/child if she likes it
9. Will scream at a baby/child who is disturbing her playing space/toy
10. Will tell you (though she screams in a particular way and you might not always understand) when she wants to watch Barney/want a drink of water/is hungry and want something to eat
11. Loves to play with water, so it's always a fight when you're changing her diapers at night and need to keep playing with water to a minimum
12. Can crawl down the stairs/bed/couch on her own (another milestone covered!) :)
13. Will wave goodbye or hi... (yeay! :D )
14. Knows how to get off a bicycle (though not always successful)
15. Can put toys in a box and take out toys from a box
16. Knows to say "mamam" when she's eating
17. Can find her way to the door and bang her hand to get someone to open the door
18. Is now stable enough to push chairs or bicycle around on her own... she can now use her walker as it was intended... hehehe... ;)
19. New food? Tasted, soup tulang..cheese naan..ciku..milo..Malteasers Choco, Kinder Bueno for kids, Kit Kat (her fav), Milo Choco, Cheerios cereal, cheese, butter biscuits...fries (yes, guilty as charged)..fried tofu in oyster sauce..
hehehe... ok ... and the list goes on and on... some of the stuff up there was covered baby dear at 10 months, I think I might have written before...

My Nomadic Life
Being a nomad is no joke... it seems to me we're always on the move. Not only that, being 'free' and 'unattached' makes it impossible to say 'no' when you just don't feel like make the move. At least that was the way before I was gave birth to my princess. Really? No.... situations have not changed since then.
When I say nomadic life, the norm for my little family would be the move from Subang house (my parents) to Kajang house (in-laws) and vice versa. When I got married, I maintained separate things at both houses so that the move can be sudden, at will and not followed by a multitude of baggage. The control of items are easier said than done. After all, isn't crazy to have the same exact everything in both houses?? Hmm.. maybe if i was a billionaire. :P
Then came the mix up with work clothes... the tudungs that I thought was there but actually not... ohhh the list goes on and on... now with a maid and baby... the craziness of moving around gets even worse! People don't always understand the stress that I am under and those who knows my woes (since I tend to nag when I get the opportunity) feels that it's just a matter of prioritising and just well... make do or prepare.....
My question is... how do I do this? It's not just about me and hubby anymore. Our room is no longer our personal space...(maids coming in and out)... Then we also have to deal with our baby's stuff... that's the trickiest part because I can get very stressed out and 'anal' when it comes to Jellybean's toys and clothes... erm, let's just say all her toys need to be accounted for and all her clothes stacked and folded according to usage..daily, fancy..bla bla... but who doesn't do that...? Right? hmmm....
Anyhow, I have been spending a lot of time (when I have it) to organised her stuff as well as hubby's and mine... in both houses... so I have been spending a lot of money on buying storage boxes and Tupperware...yes, I have joined the Lock n Lock band wagon as bought a whole bunch to store my Jellybean's foody and snacks... let's just say I have one for every occasion...to store her vege for her porridge, her fruits, her cereals, her biscuits... and some small ones for her food when we go out... this alone takes a few minitues to get organised on a daily basis! hahaha...
So I am also going through all the clothes I have to sort out those to be stored under 'pregnancy/pantang' storage and those I would just give away...
*sigh*
even writing about it takes a lot of energy :P
It's almost new year and I am still organising and 'kemasing'... pening and penat... well... that's one resolution for 2012... to be well organised and neat... hehehe... and all this kemas2 is probably due to the fact that I am sincerely bored with my everyday/work clothes... so I am trying to be a little bit more rajin in getting ready to go out or to work. So I'm going through all my clothes and tudungs to judge their worth per say... hahahaha... I will be turning 29 in less than a month... Don't want to look like I'm 40 when I'm just turning 30! :P My goodness I'm THAT old huh? hehehe... At heart I feel like I'm still 20.... ye ke? Well a 20 yo who likes to spend time with her baby and hubby at home... and be with close family and friends... :)

:)
Oh, forgot to mention in the previous post... Jellybean can now go down the steps (well, 2 steps so far) all by herself... She finally understands that she needs to go feet first... :)
And last night she walked while holding and shaking her maracas, thanx to her Dadad's encouragement...
She still has 2 teeth only... Oh and she had her first taste of mandarin oranges and loves them! :) She also had a little taste of ciku... Seems to like it, but I think her latest fav is oranges.
Had her first bruise on Saturday when her nanny was not looking properly... She hit her cheek on the coffee table that left a bluish slash on her cheek. :( She also had her first fall from the bed when she was 9 months. But she was just surprised and once mummy was able to soothe her, she was her cheerful self again...

10months of Pure Joy!
My sweetheart turned 10months last week... Almost 4 weeks since her last bottle of milk... I have been crazy with worry over her development, but she has proven to be strong and wonderfully smart.. alhamdulillah...still looking and praying to find some nutritious goodness that she would like. Oh well... :)
On a lighter note... My sweet jellybean has started to walk... As though a pressie for mummy dear, she walked right into my arms and danced a merry tune on her birthday! I counted more than 10 steps though sometimes less since she's still finding her balance. But with this new sense of confidence, she no longer clings to other to help her tatih, but would pull herself up and try to walk... Or even climb onto higher surfaces. She's becoming more and more active! :)
Just last week she managed to crawl up on the mini slide all by herself and slide back down on her tummy! Hehehehe... I was surprised and happy to see my baby so happy playing around with her cousins.
At 10months she has started to imitate the sounds that she hears... So of her words? Nanak, duduk, kakak, dadad, papa... The rest are still a jumble and sometimes she would start telling you stories... It's really fun to hear... Hehehe...
I didn't notice this before but she also loves to dance! Hehehe... She would start waving her hand and do a jiggle with her body to the sound of the music... Though the music selection is limited to the beat of her musical drum, mummy's walking chant and barney's butterfly and bubble shape song... :p
10months has been an initiation to her temper tantrums as she shows her mummy and daddy what she thinks of us saying no to what she wants... The many many lists that she protests to includes watching Barney before her bedtime. She can cry for a long time to show her displeasure. Tsk tsk...
What has she eaten? Basically anything under the sun since mummy can't be too picky... But what is always a must is her chicken porridge with broccoli, carrots, tofu, spinach and potatoes... Fruits that she loves are strawberries, jambu air, pears and apples... Biscuits? Marks & Spencer animal biscuits... Had her first taste of fries (and loves them! Urgh), cheese, yogurt, milo, bread, nasi lemak and nasi ayam... :)
On a closing note... She can now show you what food she wants to eat or grab her bottle when she wants a drink... It came as a surprise one morning when her papa asked her to drink some water... And she went and grab her bottle... *cry* ... My baby's so grown up! Love u my sayang... My cuddle muffin top... Muah!
