So You Think You Can Dance

So you think you can dance and Sehati Berdansa ..both on A*tro ... are the two favourite shows that Abang simply luuuurve at the moment.. apart from his Barney shows of course... One is an international dance show (sometimes the dances would need a PG rating hahahha) while the other is a local production..but both involves dances.. and Abang simply loves them..heheheh ..dulu2 dia malu2 nak wiggle his bum, but now dah siap dengan hand movement lagi heheheh...memang dia teruja... :-)

Oh...and Abang also has a 1Malaysia version of 1,2,3.... waaaan, tuuuu, tuwiiiii, anaaaam, juuuuh.... tatau la what happened to the rest of the numbers but those 5 numbers would be repeated over and over..i guess he would be progressively improving his counting skills in his own time..

hmm ... lately its mostly about Abang eh...not that Adek has not made any progress,...but mostly she would eat and sleep..and poo of course.. but in due time la... im sure she would make her mark soon....
at the moment Abang has the stage to himself for a little bit longer.. when he is at home.. the house would rang with his voice..berkicau from the moment he wakes up.. :-) and mat ni..he has the most shrill voice.. hahaha..you would just cringe when he goes "ayaaaah" at the top of his voice...macam at school, he would shout for  his big brother, the Glam Babes' boy until orang tu jawab la... But when dia tak ada.. senyap je rumah..while mummy and Ayah would sigh with a little bit of relief ...

It would be his birthday in a couple of days... 2 years old..so fast....

3 weeks more..

Abang is going to be 2 years old in 3 weeks time..and he is giving the term TERRIBLE TWO a new meaning...But Mummy and Ayah has been reminded by a lot of people.. that he is young..he has been the centre of attraction all this while, so when Adek comes along..it takes a bit of time getting used to...well hope Ayah and Mummy has the patience to deal with it lor...

For a near 2 years old..Abang is , how to say, nak kata 'advanced' for his age..nanti orang kata, ye la..dah anak kita kan hehehe.. but he is doing okay la... He likes to sing..and dance... he has a repertoire of nursery ryhmes...twinkle2 little star, baa baa black sheep etc..which started when Ayah bought him his first Barney CD...but masa his school concert hari tu.. he was bawling his heart out.. oh well..stage fright la tu..

oh , yes...Barney is the love of his life at the moment..go to school with Barney..tidur with Barney..even to coax him to eat..well, where Mummy and Ayah fails, Barney will prevail hahahha..we have a couple of Barney CDs now..and his favourite are the Rhyme Time Rythm (mummy tatau dah hilang mana)..and also Barney's colourful world..boleh watch tiga kali over and over hoccay... tapi masuk kali ke empat, mummy pun dah muak..

talk wise.. well.. boy can he talk..but Ayah and Mummy still needs a dictionary to understand it at the mo.. one thing for sure he has this habit of going 'no,no'no..siap dengan jari telunjuk goyang2 lagi hahahhaha...oh and he would put his palm out and say 'shtop' ...hahaha which has became a source of amusement with Chelom...  another favourite phrase is Ad*b punya...hmm sumer benda is his... ada sedikit kedekut actuallynya hehehe..

He can count from 1-10 in both English and Malay..the English bit was achieved for a few months now..bangga mummy... but recently he added the Malay version too..coz one day mummy noticed Abang kept counting 'Anam, Ujuh, Apan.." with a very nasal twang... but his favourite is 'anam'... Mummy is not pressuring him to learn his numbers and alphabets..coz at school pun they do learn this...at the moment, we are making it fun for him....he likes books..well at least mummy thinks he does..and mummy is very happy with it....banyak buku dah beli oooo hehehe...

he is a bit pelat... with a nasal twang to his speech... words that mummy would remember would be 'tium' (cium), ayem (ayam), teyet (carrot, his fav food at the mo) and oyen (the color oren, associated with carrot hahahah)..

A hyper boy at the moment..but i guess it is a period we have to go through.... we love you Abang...

The New Babe On The Blog..

And here she is... hullo all... I'm Adek...or Dedek as what Abang would call me..I was supposed to join the family yesterday.. ie 24th November..1 month before Abang..but somehow i got too comfortable in Mummy's tummy and forgot to turn in the intended position... so the nice uncle told Mummy, i had to be taken out via the "window" same as Abang was...
Mummy and Ayah chose 10th November to be the date.. (i heard 11/11 was already taken).. Early in the morning, Abang was sent to school..pepagi gila... about 5.30am..kesian Abang...
then off we went to GlenEagles.. where Mummy got admitted.. and prepped..
She was wheeled into the theatre nearing 8.00am..while the nurses brought Ayah to change into his Grey's Anatomy's outfit..heheheh..
I came out at about 8.10 am ...... and i cried..and cried... that's what Mummy told me later on...the nurses whisked me off to the nursery before they brought me to Mummy for my first feed...which came a couple of hours later..lapar oooo... habih blanket sumer kena hisap....
Mummy said i was quite clever in finding nenen...of course la Mummy... :-)
Anyway..we stayed in the hospital for about 5 days..coz Mummy was not feeling so well.. and there was no rush pun..
Now that we are back home.. we have settled into a routine..pagi Ayah would sent Abang to school..then i'd be with Mummy until Ayah is back...for the time being, Ayah has taken long leave to take care of us..and usually Ayah would pick me up whenever i cry.. at night, Ayah would stay up and talk to me.. while Ayah let Mummy have some rest...
Abang..? well... most of the time he hugs me..kiss me.. and call me baby.. but Mummy, do tell Abang he has to be more gentle when he strokes my head please...
Oh.. my umbilical cord has came off..the day we went to Chelom's house.. Mummy had to change my outfit coz i drank too much and vomitted all over the romper..it was the first time i wore pants..and i think the umbilical cord got snagged by the waistband..but no worries la..the thing dah memang nak tanggal pun....and now i got a nice clean belly button hhihihihi...

To NEW Beginnings..

It is now November.. and Dedek has joined us!! we are at the hospital still, Dedek was born on the 10th of November ..4 days ago..
It was a second c sect for mummy.. so we are taking things easy hence why we are still here at Glen eagles intan medical centre...
Abang? well he has been such a good boy.. yesterday we got him to hold Dedek and he was quite game to it.. only problem is.. he doesnt want to let her go la pulak..
Now with the pair of them, mummy and ayah would have our hands full... next 2 months is gonna be quite interesting..well actuallnye the roads ahead will be quite interesting.. hmmmmm

How do we start again...

Gosh...been a while since i posted anything.. well..the Big Mother company has since banned us from getting on to blogger during working hours..sooo..
and with the mini man growing from a baby to a toddler..hmph time at home to be spent on the computer is getting less and less...
well..now,ive gotten myself a mobile broadband cucuk thingy which should help me get on to the internet more often..(we hope la kan) .. coz apart from updating on mini man's progress, we are gonna be joined by a little lady by end of the year..YEA!! ..:-) yes adik..all of us are looking forward to your arrival..
my mini man/baby boy is now 1 year and 8 months... a full fledged toddler a hurricane around the house..a la taz from bugs bunny... while the baby girl is now reaching 7 months of 'incubation' in mummy's tummy...
a couple of months ago..the soon to be abang decided that his little sibling is easier call 'dedek'... so now it is abang and dedek..hahahah convenient kan..
he would do his daily progress report with his dedek..ie come to me..push whatever garment i was wearing to expose the tummy..kiss and pat the tummy and say 'dedek', 'dedekk'...
i hope that is a good sign.. abang has been such a good boy so far.. well the extent that a toddler can be... hahahha
today, the report from the outing in the park reveals that we need to get abang a proper shoe..coz he so loves to run ...dont think the crocs or the other sandal is conducive enough..but then again it is all alasan for mummy to go shopping hahaha.

And The Theme for The Month is...

I guess for the 1st year, you can see the progress of your baby being quite apparent ..and so all the way through December, i can see his speech as well as his walking skill developing tremendously..at leaps and bounds..pardon the pun hahahah....
he started off with a-ya... then with goo goo gaga ( i mentioned this in an earlier post).. then at some point..his fav phrase was pika pika pika pika.. guess dat means everything and anything to him... so whenever i fetch him.. alone or with his Ayah.. when you ask him abt his day.. at some point he'd launch in with this pika pika pika...heheheh
As i said, he had managed A-ya even a couple of months ago..and mmmy came up some point later... but there was a day quite recently...i heard quite distinctively... muuuuuuummmmmmmmyyyy....albeit said with a whine.. im not complaining..not when it came on my birthday (cue teary eyes..)....but as the glam babes had warned me..once they start..theyd not stop...so nowadays..its ummmy here..mmmy there... mmmmy everywhere a la old macdonald...like tonite, i was in the loo, when i heard a tentative mmmmmy??....chis.. nak pee2 pun tak aman oredi...
but i kept reminding myself and D Ayah that we have to be careful as to what we say , as MIniman has the habit of imitating.. as we malays wd say, ikut mulut... e.g. i would usually say Allahuakbar..usually when im tired and most often when im about to sit down after being long on my feet...so there was a day ..when i said that ..Allaaaahuakbar, and i heard an echo..allaaaubat..of course, ppl wd say im biased seeing that it IS my son..firstborn lak tu..but since Ayah, and my sister also heard it... guess i might have heard right..
another word in his vocab wd be (while hanging on to your legs..) ukung...and the other day...when Ayah said.. makann...he echoed dat too...
Oh and he IS a talker..hahahah..dunno where he gets dat from (cue rolled eyes)...hahahaha.. seriously..only of course i still dont understand most of it..i guess all those would be words sometime soon..till then, i enjoy the listening to him babytalking... no hurry my dear boy... all in good time...

Fun, Fun..more Fun

This happened sometime at the end of November..and early Dec..

23/11/2008...
Usually during weekends, if we are not going anywhere, Mini Man's get up would be a tshirt..diaper and nothing else..his mummy believes in conservation and why add more to the pile of laundry ANYWAY kan..
and sooo... there we were on a sunday afternoon..where i found him in front of the chest of drawers FULL of his clothes..(i used to put the sheets in it too, but now dah tak ada tempat..but his wardrobe is a nother story)...anyway i saw him pulling himself up and trying to open the drawer..but of course..when one hand pulls but the other actually was hanging on to dear life, pushing the drawer back in..thus it is a futile struggle la...
seeing that the drama unfolding..i took out the phone and thought of getting his photo..but knowing my boy..trus posing.. (hmmm i dunno wats wrong with the internet, but i couldnt seem to attach the photo, but id do it when i have the chance..cause you'd see why hehehe)

30/11/2008

The last time we took him to the pool was in july i think..at the time , i had to go to kerteh on business, so D Ayah nicely agreed to come along and babysit the miniman for the 2days i was at the plant.As i finished the thingy on Thursday, i think we took the Friday off and stayed for another night..as miniman turned 6 months at the end of June, so when better to introduce him to the pool kan... 1st anak..so mummy and ayah follows the milestones religiously...
anyway.. before we went..we checked with the paed about the Dos and Donts (but of course..) and mummy got him a spiffy top and cute swim nappy (trunk, mind you) ..etc etc..
but on the actual day..Miniman was having the sniffles..so, the debut was cut short...
fast forward to November... eventhough we ARE staying in an apartment complex complete with a pool, we never seem to be able to make the time to go there...until 1 day, i decided that we MUST...(mummy needs to get some exercise too).. anyway...down mummy and miniman went to the pool..and we found the water to be too green (aiyaaa..tak clean up lagi ke)... but since i have promised him.. we did the next best thing..
i told D Ayah to take his bath tub out..set it at the balcony... ( we are 13 floors up)... and got him ready in his swim attire... fill the tub up...and chuck him in... hehehhehe
at first , he was kinda surprised..i guess he is used to having his bath aunaturale right..but after a while.. the water and the bubbles we were blowing just drew his attention away ( oh yes..mummy and ayah had fun too..dats the whole idea aint it..)...
At the end,... as the clouds rolled by.. we had to call it a day..eventhough it was not the pool, i think it was a different kind of experience for him.. :-) and us too...
look at him :-)..wouldnt you had fun too??
6/12/2008
Sometime in Nov we went to KLCC park and introduced the miniman to the joys of the playground... he had fun going through the tunnels and the slides(with me holding him, or sliding with him heheh)... so we thought we'd do it again..
this time we explored further.. i guess it is kind of liberating for me too..i am not exactly a control freak.. but i do like things to be just so.. and when i had miniman..i had to let go a bit, and be more relaxed..it does help that d Ayah is more easygoing in nature.. but i do digress..
Miniman being essentially the 3rd child between me and the glam babes..i have had the opportunity to learn from the glam babes' experience...and whilst Big A is not into 'dirty' stuff, Little A is..thus why on that saturday..i let my son, crawl all over the playground , on his hand and knees and closed my eyes to the dirty pants and dirty hands..hands can be wiped clean ( we got dettol hand sanitizer ready ehehhe) and pants can be washed..but the way his eyes lit up... when he explored the nooks and cranny, well... he can get used to little bit of dirt la.. hehehehe

and soo... dats us..having fun..as i said... i was kinda skima..and sometimes very prim and proper..ie i sooo mind the ps and qs... and the dos and donts... but now , with a baby..a funny, happy baby... i have learnt to let go... i have learnt not to mind ( too much ) about what people would say... and i had fun again..baby steps..baby fun :-)
