More than words

The siblings are doing well so far. For Donald it was all the picking ups as he cries whenever he’s not held in our arms. Little Sandra gets smarter and all the chasing and reminding to her: “No climbing!!”, “No cannot eat one!!”, “No don’t pull Di Di’s Leg!”, “No this is not Apple, it is Orange!”…

Sayang Donald! Quick snap a pic to show Di Di next time he grows up so he'll give me his pocket money for being a nice Sis...

New words came out from her mouth almost daily! Apple, bananas was nothing, now she recognized and can say “baby”, “Car”, “Bee”, “Flower”, “Chick”, “dog”, “Dora”, “ear”, “Nose”, “Bird” and the most widely used “No lah!”. After observing us, she now points her finger at us and goes “Orrhhh!” whenever we drop something or did something she thinks it’s wrong.



She may look silly when reacting to some TV shows, but she’s definitely learning it. Realizing she’s using the toy spoon to imitate writing on paper from Disney Channel, I gave her some papers and child-safe crayons and surprise! She starts scribbling almost instantly… then… for the whole day … then… next day … then… on floors. Before she starts realizing wall scribbling can be so much fun it’s time to keep them for the time being.

Funny little Donald

I recall Sandra when she’s about 2 months old she was really tiny. Whereas Donald, he now almost couldn’t fit into the small size clothes already! He grows! It’s amazing to wake up in the morning looking at him and noticed a slight growth from the day before, really can tell just by looking!

As usual, Donald is still crying loud (even louder) all day, we never had so much noise before at home. There’s a cute Macdonald advertisement (Watch it here) some time ago, where a baby was sitting on a swing looking out at the window. Whenever he swing to in view of the roof of Macdonald’s logo he would smile, then cries as he swings back away from the window out of view. Take out the “Mac”, carry “Donald” in our arms he’ll be as peaceful as a new born bird, put him down on the bed and he’ll cry like a … well … baby…

Then came to our rescue is the ingenious invention to all Asian parents – the Baby Rocking Sarong! It gives us a whole load of time to take a break and luckily he loves it! He also vomit less sleeping in Sarong compared to us holding him. We have an automatic rocker but he does not need it, just a few push and he’ll doze off like a … well… baby. :)
Despite our murderous mood these few weeks due to poor sleeping nights, we observed the siblings as close as we can and noticed similar behaviors to ours when we are young told by our mums. I concluded that we might need to get prepared for a upcoming war! War of the 2 little ones that’ll physically and mentally challenge us! Why? Because history will repeats itself, Caroline was mischievous and I was a real trouble maker!

But then hor… it seems all worth while fighting this battle and we are actually eager to be in. :D
