10 Months and Counting

Aiman is going to be 11 months in few days time.

Dia anak yang bijak dan sangat menghiburkan (kes puji anak sendiri, can’t help it). There are many things that he has achieved starting from when he was 9 months. For my own record, since my last update, here are some achievements and things that happened:

• He claps his hands at 'Tepuk Amai-Amai' song.
• Dia beratit ke kiri ke kanan bila dengar ‘Laillahhaillallah’.
• He loves to hear 'Azan'. He'll stop doing at whatever he was doing and pay attention to TV. He'll get confuse when the 'Azan' comes from radio - keep looking around for TV.
• Dia dah patahkan dua buaian. Satu rumah nenek Shah Alam, satu rumah Uwan Nilai. So, sekarang tak tidur buaian kat rumah nenek. (But still wants berbuai at home).
• Dia dah tegap berdiri sambil berpaut pada furniture. Tak la risau sangat nak tinggalkan dalam baby cot. Now he is practicing (by himself) to let go his hands. But only when he is alone in his baby cot.
• Dia dah pandai menari bila dengar lagu. Dia pun menari bila dengar bunyi orang mengetuk lesung tumbuk atau bunyi orang menyapu sampah kat laman.
• Dia dah tak takut bunyi blender atau vacuum cleaner.
• He uses walker. Tak de berdukung sentiasa. Boleh la ibu buat kerja rumah dengan lebih tenang. Now the parents can sit and have dinner at the same time. Tak yah gilir-gilir lagi.
• He sits on baby chair whenever we dine out. He loves it.
• He started to like variety of foods. Semua nak cuba. He'll say "Nak! Nak!"
• He shows temper and dislikes. Suka tunjuk expresi geram bila tak dapat apa yang dia nak. Sangat cute.
• He loves to go outside the house and jalan-jalan naik kereta. Lama-lama dalam rumah, he will meragam and say “Nak An"! (nak jalan).
• Mulut dia bising sungguh. Asyik membebel tak tentu bijik butir.
• We teach him to say “Ayah” but he prefer to say “Papa”, we say "Yah", he says "Pa", sometimes he says "Mama". Penat aku ajar dia sebut "Ibu".
• He knows how to kiss me – only me.
• He loves it when they are many people around him. Talking about a baby that loves attention.
• Dia kuat makan compared to previous months. Nenek makes nice porridge.
• Ada 4 batang gigi. Dua atas, dua bawah. Another 2 making their way out from the top.
• Jatuh tersembam dua kali. Pecah bibir & berdarah-darah.
• When we (pretend to) scold him, he will come to us, peluk-peluk. Cara dia nak pujuk kita.

But, the biggest achievement since he was 9 and a half months is his sleeping pattern. If you read my previous entries, there are some entries where I complaint about not having enough sleep. Alhamdullillah, after nine months, finally he is at the agreeable sleeping pattern.

Now, he takes a 1 or 2 hours nap at late morning and afternoon. At night he takes a nap at around 9pm for about 1 to 2 hours (sometimes only). Later at night he sleeps from around 12 something from midnight to morning. He will wake up once or twice to drink milk and back to sleep immediately or after half and hour of pusing sana pusing sini. Kadang-kadang lansung tak bangun, sampai pagi.

Finally, the 2 to 4 hours and gilir-gilir tido approaches are no longer needed. I get to sleep more than 5 hours. I don’t mind waking up once or twice, coz it is still a luxury compared to past 10 months.

Sangat-sangat lega.

First time duduk baby chair. Seronok sangat dia.

It is very difficult to see him sit still like this.

Belajar Berdiri

Kalau nak bergaya, bagi kat dia.
