9 months, 2 weeks and 6 days old..

How time flies when you are having fun! I still can't believe that she's going to be 1 year old in 2 months time..

Milestone :

- Alysha was tricked into standing on her own when I handed her a toy while she was standing by the bed. At first she hold the toy with one hand, but she got curious and let go of the other hand that was holding onto the bed to hold the toy with 2 hands. Naturally, I was so ecstatic by this and I started clapping my hands and exclaimed,'Woah.. Pandai lah anak ibu diri sendiri!' When she realised what happened, she got excited, laughed and then fall on her butt. Lol~!

- Another time she did that, I called her from a few feet away, she tried to move her feet to walk to me but fall flat on her butt again. ;p~

- One tiny little teeth peeking out below. That explains the crankiness and her excessive droolings which she generously shared it with us by wiping it on our shirts when she was carried.

- Can wave bye-bye, make kissing noises and other baby talk like 'babababa'.. etc etc, pout her lips and wrinkle her nose when I say 'Busyuk ah!'..

- Azmi was so happy when Alysha said 'Ayayayaya' (Ayah means Father in Malay).. Well, that was until she started referring everything and everyone with that.. Hahahaha.. I am still trying to teach her 'Ibu'.. There was once she started with 'I' and ended with a raspberry 'buuuuuuuu'.. Still work in progress..

- Points at stuffs/people that she knows. When we ask 'Alysha, mana bird?', she will look up and point to the bird that my father in law keep in the cage in the living room. When I make cat sound, 'Meow', she will look down and try to find a cat. Same goes for her Ayah, Nenek, Atok and Pak Bucu.. When we ask her, she will try to find and point at the person.

- I always play flashcard with her. Now she can differentiate which one is 'Cat', 'Dog' and 'Ball'.. So clever~!

- Will comfort us when we pretend to cry by lovingly placing her head next to our cheeks. Sometimes she will also use her hands to 'sayang-sayang' our face and babble some baby talks. I can't resist kissing her when she do this.

- She's quite sociable. When we were out shopping, she had no qualms at being carried by a friendly salesman who adores her. While waiting to be checked at polyclinic, she will cheekily smile or poke at the bangla sitting in front of us.

One incident that I can never forget, we were sitting in the doctor's office and I was holding her, the doctor was writing stuffs in Alysha's file when my baby used her finger to poke at the doctor. When the doctor turned to look at her, Alysha laughed so happily that the doctor can't help but to also laughed at her playfulness (she was quite stern when we first came in but after that, the doctor can't stop smiling. She said that Alysha is a very friendly baby). Not only that, in that same moment, Alysha turned and plant me a big sloppy kiss on my left cheek. I was floored by her performance on that day. If only I can record it. Since Azmi was waiting outside the doctor's office, he was extremely jealous when I told him what happened inside. Until now, he kept asking Alysha to give him a kiss but she have not given him yet. Bleah~

But she's not always friendly to stranger. I don't know what she looked for, but she will cry if some people try to carry her. E.g., she will cry when Azmi's aunt tried to carry her but she won't cry when it was the uncle's turn. I notice that she is more willing to be with male stranger than with female stranger. But not all the time.

Here are some pictures of my chubby cheeks..
