My daughter has grown so much, so quick these days. In 3 months time, insya Allah, she will turn 2. TWO! (why am i still carrying 10 kgs extra though?)
Ever since she started walking, our routine has became a bit relaxed. I mean, we now can take her to hang washed clothes (as opposed to sneaking off when she's deep asleep), our hands (and muscles) generally get some free time (compared to carrying her).. But certain safety measures still withstand (bathroom doors are closed all the time, no leaving her in her tub).
She enjoys her walks, even gets to pick which shoes she'd like to wear for the day. We have yet to take her to park and let her roam.. soon i suppose.
She has become a bit vocal too, and it's such a delight to see her pronounce "ayam" and "tak" so clearly. These two are recent additions. Other than that, i solely blame phone apps (those baby flash cards) for her pronunciation of "arr-range" (that would be orange) and "air-pearl" (apple).
Her growing phase also include unnecessary throwing objects and fake tears :D i hope we can try the reason-out exercise soon, before other parents think we're spoiling her. I notice these actions are usually when she demands attention and protests for things we want her to do (but she resists).
I have been really worried she hasn't started eating like all her similar age friends do. You know, munching pieces of chicken/fish, slurping soups, chewing pasta strands.. but after one conversation with a close friend, i decided to put it to rest. As of now, she eats:
- fruits (watermelon, banana, apple, grapes, peaches)
- porridge + pasta (with carrot/broccoli, fish/chicken)
- biscuits (digestives are her favs!.. cheese bangkit and Oat Krunch)
- yogurt
- bread (with ONLY peanut butter choc spread.. no jams please)
- maruku, papadom
And now that i think of it, most of it are healthy.. so i shouldn't be complaining anymore. I suppose. She grows leaner, but on the whole her immunity is quite strong so alhamdulillah for that!
I am still fully breastfeeding her thankfully. She drinks chocolate milk to quench her thirst (and additional calcium source) but not to sleep. I shudder to think what happens when she turns two, but let's cross the bridge when we come to it right? I have woken up screaming cos she bites sometimes..urgh
She's imitating our actions a lot, especially during solat and laundry times. I'm quite pleased she understands the concept of solat and i hope i can teach her more later.
We don't know whether we'll throw her a party this year because her dad would be away :( maybe just a cake for me?
...and i'm extra grateful she's sleeping longer now. Hence the long post on Saturday morning. Ok, let's fry some rice!!
