two months until One

i wish i had a couple more pair of eyes to keep on Dayana. once she figures out how to move about by herself with no fear of getting hurt, we need to start to babyproof the house!

she's beginning to master the crawling stage. crawl here, crawl there, picking up every single foreign object she could get her little pair of hands on. and then into her mouth it goes T_T. tried holding her up by the arms but she shows no interest in ta-teh yet =P.

she likes to pull herself up into a standing position by grabbing onto any piece of furniture and hanging on for dear life... and is unable to sit back down into a sitting position. she started doing this just about the time Significant Other left for Libya. so she'll hang there until she gets bored and starts wailing for someone to rescue her. hehe.

hanging onto the bed

she will even let go of whatever piece of furniture she's holding on to if she knows that someone is nearby to catch her if she falls. which leads to...

has had a couple of slips and falls, but nothing major (alhamdulillah).

whenever we say nOOOOoOo, she'll stop and turn to look at us innocently (as if she understands that what she's doing is wrong), give us her cheeky smile and then continue with whatever it is she was doing like nothing happened. hahaha. sometimes i wonder if she's just testing to see what Mommy and Daddy will do if she continues to do something that she knows she's not allowed to.

she is more comfortable with her walker now =D.

she finally came to notice that ants exist during one of her crawling escapades and even tried prodding one with her finger (i heard her Uncle Akmal tried to eat them when he was a baby =P).

Significant Other bought a shape sorter for her from Toys r Us, a development toy to stimulate the brain cells and coordination (and learn about shapes in the process). Significant Other used to love it as a kid so he thought Dayana might like it as well. so far she hasn't come to realize that the shapes needs to be put into the appropriate shaped holes in the box, so at the moment she is contented with putting all the shapes back into the box through the main opening of the box. oh well. at least she gets the idea that the shapes should go into the box. haha. i tried teaching her how to push the shapes through the corresponding holes and cheered each time a shape successfully fell into the box. she took a triangle and attempted to force it into the box the wrong way. then she got irritated and simply threw the triangle away. hahaha.

Daddy bought her a Pooh from Libya but she didn't really take to it. i don't think she's interested in stuffed toys yet. perhaps when she's older. but she enjoys the toy phone from Fischer Price that i convinced Significant Other to get for her since she absolutely loves to kemam my phone, up to the point that my charger is unable to detect the phone T_T.

noticed she will only fall asleep at night with all the lights off in a quiet environment. else she'll refuse to sleep. Daddy's been having a How I Met Your Mother marathon at night the past couple of days and si kecik tu pun sibuk marathon skali.

went to the Dr. last Wednesday to check on the bites on her legs (just in case) which seem to have disappeared when i arrived at the Dr.'s. the Dr. gave her Eurax to relieve the pain (smacks forehead). according to the Dr., her height and weight is fine, she is one small healthy baby girl, so there was nothing i should worry about. at ten months old, she weighs at 7kg =P.

in the beginning she liked to babble syllables like 'da da' or 'ma ma' or 'na na'. her latest word jargon is 'aaaaay!' (the letter A? hey? ey! go figure). she'll go like 'aaaaaay!' most of the time. when we try to engage her in conversations, she'll 'aaaaaaay!' all the way. sometimes we counter by saying 'B', or 'C' (trying to get her to pronounce something new)... she'll continue repeating the 'aaaaaay!', siap with the annoying tone as if she was tired of repeating herself to Mommy and Daddy. lol.

Dayana: aaay!
Daddy: Beeeee
Dayana: aaaaaaay!
Daddy: Ceeeeee
Dayana: aaay aaay aaay aaay~~~! (annoyed tone)


LOL.

two more months until Dayana turns the big ONE. it'll be the fasting month on her birthday. should we have a small celebration for her? =P
