Little Man

Ammar has a mind of his own. 5 months old and you can already see his personality surfacing. He is one smiley baby. Always cheerful, bright and chirpy in the morning. Ever the social butterfly, smiling back whenever you smile at him. Or to strangers who come and agah him. "Ooohh.. he's got dimples.." they squeal in delight. Yup, he definitely did not get that from Baba. Heh.

5 months..And he already knows what he wants. Screams at the top of his lungs when you deny him. Gets fidgety when it's past his bathtime, yet still in PJs. Fusses when his meals are past due. And such an appetite too.. I can't remember Idris ever eating that much. Even now he's such a fussy eater. But Ammar, he could eat up a whole banana in one go. 5 months.. can you believe it?

You should see him watching TV. Eyes glued. As though he's hanging onto every word.

Sometimes I feel like he's in a rush to grow up. Hurrying along to catch up with his abang Idris. How I wish it weren't so. Please Ammar.. Stay my baby for a little while...

Girl Power

Who would've known that even little two-year olds could pick a fight.

Liyana meets Idris for the first time. She hits Idris on the head. Next chance he gets, Idris knocks her into the door. You should have seen the triumphant smile on his face. Now we're even, you'd think. But guess what. A brilliant idea hits this little girl who quickly realizes that Idris has one weakness. His boo.

Yup, that bantal busuk of his that he lugs around everywhere like his life depends on it. (More like Mama's sanity depends on it.) So she cheekily picks up boo from the basket and runs out to Idris calling at him and waving his boo over her head. Sure enough, Idris turns into a whimpering little boy, pleading for his boo back. "Nak boo... nak boo...."

Wow. I have to admit that was some impressive strategical tactic.
You go girl.
