11mos

Amazed with the fish!


Lil Milan is already 11mos old on Nov 26 and Mommy only managed to update blog today. Daddy is still on leave. Went to BCC last night because i need to find a boots and jacket. Sangatlah packed that area. even queue nak masuk parking pun panjang. so we parked at the open area outside. tapi kena jalan jauh, dahlah lupa nak bawak milan's cap. kesian Milan sejuk. on the way balik tu, mommy dah beli lah a cap from mothercare. Mommy bought her boots at Forever21 (well, the murah2 dah la kan. bukannya nak pakai selalu pun. entah2 sekali je pakai).


Lebih kurang mcm ni lah my boots tu. Pic courtesy of amazon.com

Cuaca sekarang makin sejuk, berangin. memanglah tak snowy tapi i ni jenis tak tahan sejuk. kena angin je ketar2. the other night we went out teman daddy gunting rambut, keluar2 je tgh hujan, alahai...cap Milan tak bawak then payung lak takde. Tak terfikir lah nak beli payung kat sini. Lepas malam tadi, mommy just keep one of her cap in the handbag.

Ok, about Milan. She is:

1. Getting more friendlier to strangers
Oh my, this part Mommy really doesn;t know what to do about it. I'm fine with her being friendly but not too friendly. Whenever we are at the mall, she'll wave or smile or even walked to strangers and sometimes will just pull their bag etc. Last night, she was pulling the hanging price tag of and Indonesian guy queuing behind her daddy at the counter. Then, she wanted to play with a Saudi girl aged maybe around 6 years old. budak tu malu2 pulak. Because of her behaving like that, i met few mothers. Bahraini, Colombian, Indian, Filipino etc. Kdg2 tu kena dkt org yang suka budak, takpela. kdg2 kena org yg jenis tak suka, masam je kena kacau dgn Milan.

2. Walking
She is able to walk and carrying things at the same time. She prefers to walk on her own all the time. Stroller is not in use anymore. Can't even remember when was her last time sitting in it. Even in the house, she walked all the time. She only sits still if there is advertisement on tv. Especially, when Demi Lovato sings the "Gift of a Friend". I am not quite sure if it is because of the song or the Tinkerbell's clip. Dia punya suka tengok clip tu sampai she suddenly disappear from the kitchen (or wherever i am) and stand still in front of the tv until lagu habis. Pastu masuk balik kitchen.

4. Teeth
She has 4 teeth at the moment. 2 top and another 2 bottom. The top ones has a wide gap that i looks like it can fit another teeth. She likes to bites our hands. But, whenever she bites, though i feel geli, i try not to make any response. Because if you response i.e: scream etc, they will get excited and bite even harder.

5. Playing
She loves ball, balloon or should i say anything round inclusive of traffic lights and even the 'pearl' at the Bahrain Pearl roundabout. She will say 'buh' for ball. And she still loves playing with the empty bottles, straw, empty containers, plastik bags and shoes. She can lepak at the shoe rack for a long time.


The 'Buh' is the round thing on top of the sculpture (supposedly a pearl). Milan kalau lalu roundabout ni, she will look at the pearl and make the 'buh' sound until it is lost in sight.

6. Vocabulary
She can now pronouns "Mama" and "Papa" and tag them correctly. See, when she started to make the "pa", "ma" sound which Milan started at 9mos+, she was just making the sound and was not able to tag it to me for "Mama" or the daddy for "Papa". "Buh" for ball. "Mamam" for eating, "Nen" for drink and "Hi". "Mmmah" for kiss.

7. Understanding Instructions
She understands "come here", "no", "dirty" which she then repeats as "tateh", "give mommy/ daddy", "shake hands". So far, she also understands and point to the correct thing, when asked "where's christmas tree/ snowman/ mimzy?" or whenever she hears the word "where" she'll make the "look around" looks.

8. Physical
She is still very light i.e: only close to 9kg. She is till wearing some of her 6mos clothes! But we always have the need to buy her new shoes. Not sure of her height.

9. Sleeping
She sleeps whole night through except making sound for milk or her full diaper.

10. Feeding
She is on Promil Gold Step 2 formula. soon, either continue with Step 3 or change formula if she still doesn't gain much weight. Anyhow, we will have to consult her paed first. For breakfast and lunch, she'll have either cereal or rice porridge. Snack time after her nap, fruits or biscuits. And dinner with porridge. The only problem is to make she drinks plain water. She can sip from her drinking bottle with the straw sometimes but most of the time, she'll just play with it. Poured the water out.

11. Activities
She spends most of her time watching tv and play (ya la, what else babies can do kan?). especially advertisements and songs. And she loves books. She'll just sit and open her book, points at the pictures and making sounds as if she is reading. She can dance too!
