Sarah at 2 mths old

• you still prefer to be held upright either against our shoulder or 'sitting' back against our chest.
• your head control and body movement has strengten tremendously that it's getting difficult to bathe you peacefully
• you like to gaze at our faces
• you are not that generous with your smile yet, but you loooove to sigh.. whyla dear, too young for that lah!
• you like napping in the vibrating rocker thingy
• you've established a steady sleeping pattern at nite, sleeps at 9pm, wakes up at 1am, 4am and 6am for feeds
• you sleeps in your cot! stir occassionally but settles by yourself unless it's feeding time

Amir at 22 mths old

• You love to listen to story, but all story must include your familiar characters ie Tok Ma, Mama, Che' Su, uncles.. etc
• You have started to play rough - pushed and scratched a boy at the playground the other day cos he was trying to ride your bike..ishishish
• You can count from 1 to 10 in Malay, not to keen on the English version though (whyla..English lagi senang wat!)
• Refused to learn ABC as yet
• Have started to string 2-3 words together but mostly still using the last syllable of each word
• You are 16.7kg now! Wears size 4-5 years. Do not own any long pants or jeans cos the length is definitely out! Hardly fits XXL pampers of most brand.. (looks like it's potty training or ..err...customised diapers???)
• You are still in the cranes and handyman phase..gets very excited when you spot a crane or big machinery (bulldozer/steamroll/tractor..etc). Owns a fleet of your own cranes, busses, lorries etc (and one 'mesin padi' tok Pa bought for you in Alor Setar... cool eh?). You can also spend hours playing with your set of tools, ie screwdrivers, bolt, nutt, hammer, saw.. etc (amir the builder!)
• Ironically still very scared of machinery sound ie the blender, vacuum cleaner, drill, etc
• Is beginning to take a STRONG liking in airplane and anything related to it (went berserk while watching The Terminal the other day cos you recognised that it's an airport but there's no airoplane.. haiyya!).. but then again, you're scared of the airplane sound. Pftt!
• Loves to immitate ppl singing, with scrunch forehead and mulut muncung2
• Continue to 'kill me' with your big hugs, huge chuckles, nitetime snuggles and when asked Sayang mama banyak mana? You'll answer with wide open arms and bigbig smile.. Aaaaanyaaaakkk! - cheap thrills, i know.. but just let me indulge while stock last boleh?
