my baby has finally turned One! she's officially left babyhood behind her, moving on to toddlerhood. God, it felt like only yesterday i gave birth to her (okay, maybe i'm overdoing it, since i don't really remember the pain i went through trying to bring her into the world, haha).
it's been a hectic 12-month - 1 year transition, what with planning her birthday and all (August was a really congested month!) so before i forget, here's her One Year progress (those that i can remember):
-- she still pull my glasses off when she suddenly feels like it. not sure why. she doesn't really throw a tantrum if i take my glasses away from her like she usually does whenever i take something away from her involuntarily. i think she does this only to annoy Mommy. haha.
-- she loves to pull my hair whenever i get too close! haha. sakit ok when she pulls. she thinks it's funny or something. she doesn't like Daddy's hair, it's too short to be pulled (but she does find Daddy's carpet of a janggut geli to the touch, kekeke). sometimes she pulls her own hair. but only if i put something on her head and she'll try her very best to take it off, be it hats or sunnies or headbands.
-- i tried teaching her to wave, but she doesn't do this often. only when she feels like it. i first noticed her waving on her own one time when we had dinner with Megat and Hasmah and we were about to part ways. she will never wave bye bye to Mommy and Daddy. i think she thinks that if she does, it will mark the finality of Mommy and Daddy abandoning her for the day, lol.
-- i'm also trying to teach her how to raise her hand. like, 'siapa nama Dayana, raise their hand?'. she needs a little prompting before she will want to raise her hand. sometimes we'll have to raise our hands first before she does. haha. i don't think she understands what's going on yet.
-- this month i noticed that she doesn't really like to smile for the camera anymore. maybe it's just a phase. or maybe Mommy's been talking too many photos of her and she's tired of all the 'publicity'. haha. and i realized in the photos of how much her mouth resembles the Daddy.
-- she loves turning the pages of a book, be it any kind of book. turn turn turn turn, not even stopping to see what's on the page. i haven't even finished reading the page to her when she insists on turning to the next page. @@
-- whenever she wants to mengamuk, just give her my SE phone and she'll be all smiles again. i mean give you this really big grin each time she sees my wallpaper of her face in my phone. she doesn't really fancy other kinds of phone, just mine. probably because it's a flip phone? her own toy phone pun kalah. she's really good at pressing buttons now. the other time she even managed to call Hasmah in the middle of thie night T_T. i just can't figure out how to lock the keypad of the z610i. anyone knows?
-- when she's up to it, she'll throw everything out of her crib. her pillow, her bolsters, her blanky, her chewy, her stuffed toys Pooh, Mickey Mouse, Elephant, Bear, and every other stray item in her crib. spring cleaning, perhaps? she finds it hilarious each time i pick them up and put them back in, and do you know what she'll do? she'll throw them out again! grrrr. like i got nothing better to do picking up things on the floor for her amusement. i think in the BabyCentre they mentioned somewhere about how children this age love to see things drop to the floor, and even love seeing the mommies and daddies pick them up. and repeatedly do the same thing for whatever reason i do not know. haiz.
-- she finally has teeth visible! after months and months and months of waiting. usually people will say the bottom two will come out first. in Dayana's case, her top two came out first. the bottom? only one. weird. hehe. i'm gonna have to look up brushing for babies. once i tried brushing my teeth in front of her. she seemed fascinated enough then.
-- Dayana fell sick for the first time, not because of an injection. we were pretty worried too. the poor thing fell sick a day before her first birthday. we actually brought her to the clinic twice. with the h1n1 running amok throughout the world, you could never be too cautious. and mind you, i've never had the experience of nursing a sick child back to health before, so you could say i kinda panicked. especially when there occasional spikes in her temperature, i quickly sponged her down with tepid water with the hopes that her temp will go down. thank goodness my little one is better now =).
looks like i got lots to read up on how to care for and educated a one year old. my previous readings were only for babies below One!
