Arissa crawling already!!

The past few months, Arissa has been doing the comando crawl. Then, she started becoming obsessed with pulling herself up and have shed several pounds along the way and become trimmer. Right after that, her litte bum seem to be lighter & finally, her coordination is there to raise her bum up!!what a delight!!!!

Initially, she was struggling and finally yesterday, I saw her doing the REAL crawl on all 4!!! What an achievement...omegod, my darlin' Comeltoes is growing bigger by the day...She was extremely happy to see me & Babah shrieking in happiness!! and continued her pursuit towards the TV!! I do believe that children should not be pushed in achieving their milestones...guided & loved, yes..but never pushed. They will reach there in their own special time. Nevertheless, it is an occasion to celebrate!! So, Arissa, me & Totang headed to SP for a mini shopping spree...got Arissa some Soda T's, Elle pink miniskirt, a Playskool Toy & a shirt-bib (as Arissa hates the usual bib..but her T's are all slightly stained by her pureed food). After shopping, dah merengek as I guess she was quite thirsty..so we stopped the car beside the golf course and had a quick milky way session...

I am very proud of Arissa as she has proven to have the strength & ability to accomplish anything she sets her heart to. Just like her Tok Mak!!!I guess it was perfect to name her Arissa Zainab after all...

Arissa Stubborn Cold

Papa Hamlin will be away in Kuantan for the next few days. Loads of Arissa & Umi alone time then!! We both will definitely miss papa...Arissa has been having a cold/running nose since the last 1 week. Maybe should continue with her Phernegen. Pity her as she seem uncomfortable. Anyhow, my little darlin' is coping fairly well. Maybe I should boost up my vitamins C's too..perhaps 2000mg would do the trick!!

Arissa 1st birthday is coming very soon..thought of throwing a special bash for her...Dont really like the idea of having too many children not her age screaming their heads off...Would be nice to have just close family members & friends...tapi - no children for Arissa to play withlah as semuanya adult...except for her 2 cousins-Fah & Syami...not her age group either, but she just adores them both...maybe she thinks that they are her age..hehe..

Cant wait to go home & spent time with Comeltoes...I guess my life do revolve around her mostly. And nothing else seem as important nowdays either...Arissa called me on the phone a moment ago, she was rambling on "ughhh...ohh..ughh... She sounded as though she really wants to talk to her Umi already...love you Comeltoes...

Arissa 10 months!!

Arissa is already 10 months and 3 days..how time flies! It feels as though it was just yesterday when we brough her home after my C-Sect. Now she is all over the place. Arissa's development this week/month:-
(1)her 5-6 top teeth have popped out nicely. Now you can really see her top teeth when she smiles. Cute sangat..
(2)her crawling is quite fast already
(3)pulling herself up either in her cot, on the bed, on the floor etc
(4)saying papa..ayoyoyo...and her occasional "Maaa"(which means me I hope)
(5)all time favourite-is waving goodbye (oh-so-lembut bye2) and twinkle2 little stars gestures

Last weekend (22 April 2007), Arissa visited Aquaria KL for the 1st time!! with Tok Tang, Nenek, Tok & Papa & me. She actually got excited looking at all the fishes...And she was making so much sound and pointy fingers to the fishes too!!

Last weekend-1st time Arissa ponteng Gymboree as her cold is still there...wouldnt want her Gymboree friends to catch her cold pulak...so, we have to do make up classeslah next week nie.

Arissa can kiss Umi now days!! She growing up very well indeed (even Dr Musa says so)

Love you Comeltoes...
