one.. two.. three..

May 16, 2012 - Aariz is 11 months.

One of his favourite spots - under the chair...

Last week, Friday, was a pretty historic day for us - Mr.Hubby and I that is. Aariz took his first few steps. Woohooo!!! He was doing squats (squatting and standing up, squatting and standing up...) over and over all day earlier that week. He then stands up by himself almost all the time since. He then crawls like Spiderman; on hands and feet and not hand and knees like the usual crawl. Huhuhu...  He still does that sometimes. Few days before Friday, he took very little wobbly steps; almost like dragging his feet for about 3 steps before throwing himself to Mr.Hubby who's holding some grapes. Yes, he was after the grapes. Talk about motivation, eh?! ;-) We were at the Friday's prayers at the Kawana community centre when Aariz took about 3 firm steps. He was after another boy's toy. Aariz then probably realize it was faster if he crawls. And later at home that day, all day, he was constantly trying to put his foot up and walk, but eventually lets himself fall to the floor to sit or crawl instead. It's fine. We are not too stress on him walking just yet. Him just crawling around put ourselves on edge most of the time anyways. Huhuhu...

Last week we saw Aariz's upper teeth started to grow. There's two of them. He was a bit fussy the week before. I supposed the teeth was cutting through his gums then. Must be so annoying! But he's as always manageable; nothing too serious. ;-) He's wanting to eat what we're eating so he's had heaps of new food like prunes, bikkies, fish, homemade meatballs, spaghetti and vegie soup with rice. I gave up trying to feed him with his bowl and spoon. Instead I just feed him with my hands (suap) before I eat or as I was eating. Heh... He's able to get himself out of his Bumbo seat now so we probably need a highchair very soon. Sometimes it's just so much work to feed him with him crawling everywhere. Huhuhu...

He's got smelly smelly poo!!! No surprise there, eh??!!! There's this one time few weeks back when he actually almost had a taste of his own poo. Tell me about it, yuck!!! Huhuhu... Well, I usually change his nappy once his wakes up every morning. That particularly morning, I didn't and his nappy was about to burst as he decided to take a poopy. And evidently, the nappy bursts, and poo was everywhere. He was across the living room when saw him picking up something from the carpet and was about to put it in his mouth. I called out his name and his little finger with the thing landed just below his lower lip. Yeah, you guessed it, his own poo! He went in the showers straight away and Mr.Hubby cleaned up the mess. Thank God for Mr.Hubby not working. It was a Sunday. ;-) I told my sister, Yan the next day and she told me to write it in my diary. So yes, this is the diary. Hehehe!

Still haven't had the chance to take videos of Aariz walking. I do have this one video of him turning on the TV. Yeah, ever since he learned how to do it, he'll just turn it on and off whenever he feels like it.

He's also not afraid of the vacuum cleaner anymore. He used to get all panicky and run to one of us for scared that the vacuum cleaner will get him everytime it's turned on. Nowadays, he'll be helping me out! Hehe... Oh and he also loves keeping the drawer of my study table as well as the TV stand's cabinet 'tidy'. Huhuhu...

I got this covered, Mama! ;-)

Whatcha looking at??? Huhuhu...
