Post Raya

Penat weh beraya!

Ni tak abes lagi nih.. there are more relatives to visit. And the hordes of open house to go to.

Somehow Jannah bloomed during Raya. And Aliah learned to be more independent.

Let's talk about Aliah first.

Suprisingly she managed to stay up for the house to house Takbir, coming home only at 1am. Way after Mommy has gone to Lala-land. Even her Papa seemed more tired than her. And the next morning she woke up at 6 without a fuss.

She dotes on her cousin Aishah, wants to go wherever Aishah went. Pagi Raya tu when Aishah left for Sg Petani she cried buckets. Konon sedeh gila la "my best friend Aishah is gone". Sheesh! When we went for the Raya rounds, she wanted to ride with her Pak Long coz that's where Aishah was.

And oh how she loves berjalan for Raya. When I tell her we're going for jalan - jalan raya, her question to me would be "Are we going to jalan or in the car?" Haha! She loved the fact that she got to actually jalan (walk) for Raya whilst we were in Kuantan.

Jannah pulak.. well, she's 15 months already! And they say at 15 months they just bloom. And Jannah did! She was still a bit clingy during Raya but sometimes if no one paid too much attention to her, she could just explore on her own.

If told to salam, she'd give a flying kiss first. If you hulur ang pow, she'd take the ang pow first before salam-ing you. And because everyone has been kissing her on her cheeks, she knows too that after salam she'd sua her cheek to you. Haha!

While we were in Kuantan, she was most happiest if we let her roam outside. She'd check out the flowers (foweshh in Jannah-speak), look for the chicken (which she calls birds), see the fishes and points to cats.

And from her milestone chart she can already : play with balls, scribbles (we let her use the doodle), runs, say "shh", combine 2 words like "papa bosh (box)" and "nak up". And she's also achieved her 16 month milestone by switching to only 1 nap a day (sometimes no nap at all!).

Weekend ni beraya lagi. *sigh*
