ALiiF @ 10 months

Aliif is 10 months..
Yup, at exactly 3pm 29^th April 2011 I received an email from Babycenter.com reminding me – Hello Aida! 10 Months Old, First Week… (bad mommy). Aah yes.. it is all coming together now. Baby’s changing of months as they say.. –> the sudden hyperactive mood Nanny’s been complaining about on exactly this day, the midnight crying separation anxiety wanting to sleep between Abah & Mom and him testing his vocals in making weird monster noises ROARRrrrrghhh! until his face turns red. This is one adorable monster.

The Almighty RoaRR!!

This boy is a happy baby & very social. Too social even sometimes it makes me nervous when he decides to go to any stranger that reaches out to him at the mall. Ishhh.. He even tries to impress the people at the next table during makan by grinning all his 6 teeth, fishing for compliments. Oh yes.. SIX GIGI BESO he owns now. 4 on top and 2 below. Abah & Mom had a wonderful time when those teeth agreed to make an appearance, continuously one after another in Aliif’s 5th month of life. Yeah, wonderful in a zombified sense – few hours of sleep & listening to sporadic crying almost every night turns you into a living dead during the day at work. Super fun. The teeth buds seem to be quietly ‘hibernating’ for now… let us cherish the moment.

For now, Aliif sure likes :


Cars. Actually he’s more focussed on the spinning sports rims. Intrigued when cars pass by, he eyeballs the tyres rather than the car itself. Interesting.


Taste the world through his mouth every chance he gets.


BITES! Loves loves loves to bite shoulders/neck areas of person carrying him without any compunctions. I love my little vamp.


Hates :


The vacuum cleaner. He gets angry, screams back and throw his toys at the vacuum monster. Maybe he doesn’t like the idea of mom vacuuming and tidy the house. Haha. Good boy.


Successfully:


Waves goodbye. Sometimes he waves with no expression on his face. Occasionally he’s oblivious to people trying hard to catch his attention, then he just nonchalantly waves on cue when he hears someone says Bye-bye Aliif without even looking up - takde perasaan!


Claps. With no sound. And both hands don’t exactly slap each other hard but rather he gestures the act of clapping. But does it qualify as clapping? OF COZ IT DOES!


Plays peekaboo and occasionally shows all his 6 white gigi when asked.


Signs for birds when he hears the pigeon that made a home on top of our a/c. Sometimes at the crows too. Scary crows. And signs for susu, before he screams & wails for it. Hehe.


Says abah & mom with a purpose & play kiss-kiss… Awwww!


We love this boy very strong. Please don’t grow up too fast, baby Aliif. Muacks.
