Bits and Pieces

Last Friday
Division's Open Day. Had to man the booth the whole day. Got some goodies to bring home for Sa'eed to play with. Met Aida and she gave me the prizes (as per previous post) *beam*.

Past weekend
Spent the weekend in Bangi. Wanted to attend company's family day, but that plan flopped. And Sa'eed decided to be extra clingy. We go to Bangi often enough, I'm not sure why he acts all I don't want you with hubs' family. Very random, sometimes I can leave him alone, sometimes I can't.

Monday & Tuesday
Stayed at home (MC). Sa'eed was walking and playing and exploring non-stop. He likes to go to the kitchen and attempt to open all the drawers or peek into the fridge and just grab whatever he can get his tiny hands on.

Wednesday
Younger sister cooked for the family (hubs, Sa'eed and me, maktok, papa & belle mere, abg, wife & Idraki, Sa'eed's Tok Ngahs, the PNB cousin, the UPM cousin and hubby). So as you can see, it was a full house. We had a yummy spaghetti dinner, tons of fruits, salad, juice and coffee for the adults later on.

It was funny watching Sa'eed trying to gain the affections of Idraki. Sa'eed would want to hug and kiss Idraki, but the poor little fella was not really into mushy mushy cousinly love. He would just shrug Sa'eed off but Sa'eed would just follow the little guy around. But I guess Sa'eed does not deal with rejection too well (it's ok son, you'll soon learn) and resorted to yanking out Idraki's pacifier from his mouth and threw it onto the carpet (I hope this is NOT a bully in the making!!). Of course Idraki cried and cried and cried while Sa'eed acted all innocent.

I promptly went to Sa'eed, told him to return the pacifier, took him to the spot where the pacifier laid, got him to get it and return it to Idraki. Sa'eed tried to stuff it in Idraki's mouth but of course that was received with even more tears. Hoo boy, that's one side of Sa'eed I hope I won't get to see more often.


Other developments
- Sa'eed knows where his biscuits are. He would get the container and give it to anyone close by if he wants a snack.
- If he is really hungry, he would plop himself in the kitchen and whine till someone gets him food or milk.
- Caught him trying to put on a shirt...but through his legs...heh
- Walks more steadily.
- Still loves kitchen utensils.
- Knows how to salam people (and kiss the hand too!)
- Knows how to put his hands up when making du'a (doa makan ye) and then wipes his face 2 seconds into the du'a. Very cute.
- Scrunches his body up to protect his tummy whenever I want to tickle him...and he'd be laughing his head off even if I haven't tickled him yet.
- Able to climb up and down without help (but with supervision ye).
- Doesn't have to be rocked to sleep (not all the time). Him lying down and someone singing and patting his bum is almost always sufficient. But he'd be tossing and turning until he finds the most comfortable position.
- For the first time slept through the night on Wednesday! Is this a one time thing? Hope not.
