Yay..it's T-2 before BALI!
It's just going to be me, Adelle, Ahren and Uncle Didi (mum's bestest friend)!! we're looking forward to a holiday after the most hectic months in our lives!
I am not looking forward to the packing part. So far, only Adelle's clothes have gone into the suitcase - which all are scattered around the floor now thanks to the little miss Adelle creative hands *growls*
She now :
* drinks from the straw (apparently she's is a natural, we never taught her and she just did it, so now she drinks her water using straw and glass, unless she asks for water in the wee hours)
* has 3 naps instead of 2, we guess that she needs the extra nap as she's exhausted from running around the house
* calls her dad "bub" - just like how her mummy calls daddy
* recognizes camera, so if she's in the mood, she'll do different pose at every click
* is so teasable - (is there such word heheh) - if we 'pretend' we are going to come and tickle her, she'll scream, laugh and dash off.
* says "duuwaa" (means 2), "iyaaa" (means yes)
* points at things she wants *gulp*
* cruises by everything using only 1 hand
yeap, the little cupcake is now sooo noisy!
* she says "apa inii..?" when pointing at something (read : what's this?)
* when she lets go off her wind, she'd say "apaa ituu?" sometimes.
* sometimes she calls ahren what i call him!!! which is : BUBBB *LOL*
* she calls the housemaid Las "Iyaaas"
* she says yes as "YEssshhhhhhh"
* when she wants me to pay attention to her, she'll yell "mmmuummmm" to my ear.
* there'd be times when she'd cry her eyes out and when we ask her "is milk what you want"? and if yes, she'd say "yeaaa yaaaaaa".
* she can point to "where" the fish are and "where" the birds are kept.
* she loves getting excited when teased, she'd either kick her legs soooo much or she'd turn around and crawl off!
* she lovesss music, thank God! Both hearing/watching and playing musical instruments.
* she knows 'how to use' the AC Remote, TV Remote and the telephone properly. I said properly means the AC Remote - she'd point the remote upwards, the TV Remote - she'd just hold it straight, and the telephone - she'd put the handle on her shoulder and lean her head sideways and start talking like ME (for those who know HOW i talk on the phone will know how Adelle does it too i guess :D )
anyways, the walker that we purchased for her is not being used as a walker by her. she uses chairs as walkers! so she goes around the house pushing chair. everyone says that it looks like she walks and talks at the same time anytime soon. this girl is soooo active. her dad says her 'terrible 2' may have started much earlier. i say she is such a free spirit, always knows what she wants since such a young age. she is a HANDFUL - even her oma (grandma) says she's running out of breath looking after her. *grin*
scary. how come she's growing so soon?!
LINGUALITY :
* mamma
* emaahh (oma = grandmother)
* mamam (eat)
* dada--daddy
* apa
* iyaahh
* iyaasss (Las, one of the maids)
* adaaa (we think she tries to say 'adelle')
* heeyyyyy
* aalloo (hello)
* baby
* tiga (means three in indo)
* eniee (for ernie)
BEHAVIOUR :
* she can 'peluk sayang' (=hug) me (on my shoulder, chest and tummy), dad, oma, opa, iie alice, her bears, oma's and daddy's mobile phones, house phone, tv remotes, and her milk bottles - all with the mumbling sound " aahhh.....".
* she never crawled using her tummy. from not crawling at all, she jumped to crawling with 1 foot on the ground (halfway to a standing position) and 1 leg dragged along (it's so funny, we name it NGESOT instead of CRAWLING). Someday, we really need to video it before she walks.
She does crawl like normal too, but she probably thinks that ngesot-ing gets her around faster than crawling.
* if she grabs something that she's not supposed to, she'd turn around and point the item to us as if she was asking for a permission - that she knows she'll never get anyway. We'll wriggle our index finger and say no, she'll cheekily laugh and start to 'ngesot' away as fast as she possibly can, stop and glance to see where we are, and ngesot away again.
* she can answer our questions when she really wants to do the thing we ask her by saying " IYAAAAAH".
* she sings to herself in the mornings! i'm dead serious, she sings. with a smile too, if i must add. usually she does that after her 7am milk, just as she goes back to sleep.
* she hugs me. only me. her daddy says she has never hugged him that way.
* she can point to her nose when asked.
* she can pout when we ask show us opa's mouth (fyi, opa has pouty lips heheh)
* she dances up and down and claps her hands whenever she hears music.
* she does fake cries when we take something away from her. (grrrowl)
* she's very very active.
* she loves practicing how to stand up without any support. she'll let go off holding onto anything that helps her up, starts balancing herself with such a happy glowy face (like she's accomplished something so BIG)
* she doesn't like TV anymore. we'd turn it on just to get the sounds playing in the background. adelle will glance for a few seconds to the tellie once a while, but then will continue to move around (and mess everything!!).
* she'd wriggle her index finger and would start to babytalk (the way we tell the dogs off) whenever we take her to see the dogs barking.
* she can play ball with us back and forth - eventhough when she throws the ball towards us, it tends to bounce on the spot *lol*
* she does "mata genit" (=flirty eyes)
* she shakes her head when she really doesn't want something we're making her do
