What's New in The Asyraaf Wonderland...

Well...wonderland is not so wonderful anymore for little Asyraaf :-). We recently got the safety gate to be installed at the kitchen entrance from the living room. We have been thinking to do so for a long time but never got around it. So now we have. And it is soooo much easier since I don't have to go hunting for my chilli sauce in the 2nd bedroom, the vermicelli in the main bedroom and the biscuits in under his cot. Life is a wee bit less hectic...:-)

New toy collection for Asyraaf. Present from Wan Chik during his 2nd time birthday celebration in Ipoh last weekend. It has a horn that NEVER stops honking since he pushes the button ever so often! He loves it though...getting on anf off it...checking the tires, and the usual whatnots for young boys...At least he is kept preoccupied ...so no complaints on my part...

So what's new with Asyraaf... ? Erm lets see...

1. Cak aa.....playing pekaboo with whoever that looks his way, wherever he can.
2. Saying a few words like nak (I want), nah (u can take this), baby(err...this is a hint i think), duck, cat or meoww (while searching under the chair for it), saying Oo' Oooo... over and over again
3. Being a parrot of whatever we say and sometimes getting laughs from us when we are cought off guard with the spontaneous words that came out of him
4. 9th tooth finally out after months staying with 8 teeth.
5. Clapping his hand (complementing himself is more like it)
6. Putting up both his hands shouting " Aya...!" when asked who is Asyraaf.
7. Salam and kissing hands of elders (depending of his mood of course). Otherwise it is a helpless deed to ask him to do so
8. Kissing me and his dad with and open mouth and leaving trails of saliva on our cheeks
9. Using us as the hurdle for him to get one side to the other as if it is a challenge to do so... * sigh
10. Standing in the baby chair while saying " Woo..." and balancing his stance as if he is Superman
11. Giving high -5 to whoever who is willing to entertain him
12. Walking 4-5 steps only only to go back to crawling
13. Eating up to 3 bowls of chicken nestum a day
14. Drinking milk so fast we thought the milk was spilled on the floor only to find out it spilled alright....into his belly LOL!
15. Farting as loud and as far as Timbuktu ...gosh...
16. Throwing tantrums when he is denied something he wants such as eating the bug, or putting something in his mouth
17. Slapping my face whenever he feels like it.
18. Mimicking me when I gave him a 'babab' after the above.
19. Smiling and asking for food from the next table shamelessly with " Nak..." as if he doesn't have any.
20. Emptying the contents of the toy basket gleefully and happily...
21. And the list may go on forever...

But not in any way has it made us love him any less... with a smile that melts the hardest of hearts... and a cheekiness that went beyond our expectation. We love you Asyraaf...
