another 1 month and it's Merdeka! and also Dayana's birthday =D. i'm not sure how we're going to celebrate her very first birthday. it's puasa month so i don't think it'll be much fun if you're not able to pig out during a birthday party and everyone will be busy with terawikh in the evening. so we might postpone any sort of plans at the moment. or maybe we'll have a small family celebration first =). i know diana's been asking me when am i gonna have a party for her. lol (i should ask diana balik, when is she and nico getting married? susu's done for already =P).
not much updates though, July's been a busy month so i didn't really keep a close eye on her progress that month. some of the things i can remember though:
-- one time she was in her crib, and i gave her a cucumber to chew on. you know what she did? she offered her cucumber to her stuffed toys. how sweet is that? she offered the cucumber to Bear's leg, Elly's ear and Pooh's nose. lol! too bad i didn't manage to get a video of her doing that. it's like a one-time thing. lol.
Bear, Elly and Pooh
-- one day she was hanging out in her crib, and i was talking to her for a bit when suddenly she started clapping her hands, only for an instant. and i was like, do it again for Mommy, Dayana! i started clapping my hands and telling her 'clap clap clappy', and you know what? she obliged! yay! hehe. we can now sing If You're Happy and You Know It and she'll voluntarily clap her hands. hehe. she'll need a bit of prompting though. the funny part was right after she discovered the art of clapping, she practically clapped at everything in sight. sikit-sikit clappy clappy, lol. raya is coming up soon, i need to teach her how to salam. and she still hasn't mastered waving yet.
-- since she's getting bigger i thought i'd teach her to sleep in her own crib. previously her crib was abandoned in the next room collecting dust, with only her stuffed toys residing in it (and Significant Other got her ALOT of them). it was a hassle having her in the next room, i'd have to check in on her very often to see how she's doing despite having a baby monitor. and since she was getting bigger Significant Other complained there was no room on the bed (i told him to go purchase a King-sized bed) so i wheeled her crib into our room. so far Dayana's pretty okay with the crib. before this whenever i put her in the crib she'll scream like mad as if i'm abandoning her in it. at night she'll go to sleep in her crib if all the room lights are turned off. else she'll just pull herself up and hang onto the crib rails. i only wish her crib was slightly bigger though, more room for her to move around. my mom has already dismantled the crib and cradle at my parent's place, reasoning that she's not using the crib anyway. the cradle can't be used anymore since Dayana is prone to standing up now, she might fall over.
hiya mommy!
-- she's furniture cruising now. sungguh efisyen ok. sedar-sedar she can get from point A to point B in 5 seconds flat. poor her, though. she doesn't have much space to crawl around in our sempit room. and mil's house isn't designed to be babyproof (one really hazardous house in my opinion). she's even experimenting standing on her own without holding on to anything. there's the occasional bumps of course, she isn't a pro at it yet. swaying is more like it. hee~
-- Daddy bought her a pair of sunnies not too long ago. tried getting her to wear it but she'll end up ripping them off her face. she'll take off anything we put on her head too unfortunately (we haven't fully utilized Liz's snugg hat lately, huhu). she prefers waving the sunnies around in the air. but the one thing she did learn from this experience is that she now knows Mommy's glasses can be detached from Mommy's face so she'll grab my glasses at any chance she gets whenever i get too close T_T. so not good. my glasses screws are now loose and it feels out of shape. i wonder if i should now put in a claim for new glasses.
in her sunnies. we had to hold her hands else she'll pull it off her face!
the primary usage of her sunnies
-- if last month her overly-used word is 'aaay', this time it's 'ooooo'. she'll shape her mouth into an 'O', and let out the OoOoOoOO sound, followed by giving you this really amazed look on her face. like kagum habis-habisan. hahahah. she seems very fascinated with everything. sometimes you just want to laugh.
"OoOoooOOo..."
-- she has no teeth yet. some say it's a good thing, i won't have to worry about brushing her teeth. some say it's genetics, but my mom says i started teething early. Significant Other pulak says he started early too. dunno la...
-- chewy is still her favorite! =P~
well, that's all i can think of for her 11th month =)
