Mama was blewing out the candles with Sophie
Mama was juz arrived at home when surprisingly babah, Sophie and sister wish mama a happy 25th burfday (juz assume Sophie could do that). Unfortunately, not so many of our pictures could be taken as we were concentrating more on Sophie’s actions. With a very pale plus tired face, mama’s pictures look very hideous. Haha..
This is Sophie’s current favorite song during her bedtime sleep.. Mama dun have to sing for her anymore as she could comfort herself bubbling while listening to this song…hehehe..
The Carpenters – Close to you (pls click this link for the music)
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Close to you.
Just like me (Just like me)
They long to be
Close to you.
Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Hahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Lahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Basically, other than her major actions such as cooing, giggling, wiggling, kicking and being parallel on floor (meniarap- help me if there is any suitable words of meniarap in English, I cant find any! My English is so poor hehe) Sophie has become an expert in:
1. Stand up- moves up
She loves trying hard to move up like our actions to wake up after lying down. Unfortunately, she can’t finish doing the stand as her knee still soft. To support her strength-will, we just hold her left and right hand fingers then she moves up herself. Strong bones ya?
2. Understand Cause and effects
Sophie has beginning to understand cause and effect! We actually bought her a mobile fan that could be attached to her stroller. The mobile fan got fancy lights that attracts her glance every time she goes to bed. One day, we put Sophie in her crib and monitor her actions 5 meters away. Sophie was looking at the fan and her eyes crossed. Then she rubbed her eyes and brought her hand to the fan blades (the blades are actually made from soft materials). She was shocked! Few seconds later, we saw Sophie pointed out her index finger to the fan cautiously. SO SWEET! She learnt that if she put her fingers at the blades, she might get hurt and shock!
3. Making Bubbles and chewy-chewy
Yeah these are her recent habits in signs of ” I need a feeding bottle“. She chews like having taste of sweet Spearmint gum. Her saliva is the medium! She loves looking at bubbles soap blew by babah. Using that idea, she’s making her own!
4. The C-turn sleep style
Taking a nap is not a silence routine for Sophie, as she tends to move her body in C figure pattern. The first 5 minutes we’ll see her head on a pillow where else the 15 minutes later the pillow is already at her feet. So naughty wiggling-girl!
5. Cooing before sleep and giggling in sleep
before she sleeps; Sophie coos her own words like she is a Singing Idol contestant. This is not frequent, as she tends to coo when she is truly exhausted. Giggling in sleep is normal to every baby I guess.
6. Smile the extra mile, mimic a pity face
Lovely, she has totally understood to reply a smile back to us. If we smile, she smiles back. If we are making jokes and laugh, she laughs too. If she cries, we mimicking a mercy face, then she follows. Haha..
7. Love watching TV
Truly, television really attracts children. At her 2 to 3 months, Sophie loves watching Disney, CN and Nick channels. She can’t miss watching Jojo’s circus, Bob the builder and Mr. Spongeys and friends. Hmm, mama needs to find a study plan for her soon ya!
8. Support my back, I wanna sit. I’m a big baby
Sophie wants us to treat her like she can sit already. If watching TV, she doesn’t want to be put down, or in lay-down position. She wants to sit like us, so we have to support her back so that she can sit and watch TV. Try putting her down, she will cry to the highest keynote! Huhu..What a demand!
She will turn 4 months another 2 weeks. Hopefully she will be a brilliant- minded baby! Sophie..Sophie…mama and babah love you so much!
Usually, as a busy working mama, again I have no precious space to spend my time blogging about the recent us. Many interesting stories to share, and perhaps I could remember them all at this moment. Hehe..
We went back to Langkawi on 4th Dec and Sophie has knowing well to feel boring sitting odd in the airplane. Thus, all the way 45 minutes journey, I got to sing her many songs to erase her boredom (Babah not with us as he was working on Friday, he came on Saturday by flight as well). No matter what, Sophie did behave well during take off and decent.
On 7th December 2008, we picnicked at Cenang Beach in celebration of our 1st anniversary. We brought Sophie to the beach purposely to let her feel the sea windy breeze and get touched with salty sandy water. Sophie seemed enjoyed sitting in her Barbie boat that shaking every time sea waves coming. She was too young to show her rejoice expression but we definitely knew it. Any frantic-romantic moments for both of us? Hmm..yes there was but biarlah rahsia.HEHE
On 8th, we had our Raya Haji with her wearing Baju Kurung specially tailored by Tok Mak. Whole family looked green! I ate a lot and lots more rendang, ketupat, lemang, RAYA foods, biscuits, cakes etc etc like a revenge on these food which were been prohibited during my confinement days. Thereafter, babah would just put his hands on his ears to pretend not hear me shouting when it came time to stand on weighing scale! Hehe
Us in green
The finale day, we brought Sophie round around Langkawi, taking pictures. Unfortunately, the weather was very gloomy. Not many pictures could be taken. (No worries my dearies, we will be there again ya!)
After balik from kampung, we turn back to our working routine as usual. These hectic lives making me eagerly try to balance my life between personal and career. It’s not easy though! To be a dedicated worker versus a devoted mother is truly a challenging bet for me.
Talking about Sophie, she is almost 4 months now. She has filled our life with her smiling, habits, and cute actions. We can’t truthfully imagine how our living verves would be, without Sophie. Specially dedicated to Babah, thanks for being a very loyal and loving husband and completes my world. I love my family so much. Love babah and love Sophie. Alhamdulillah.
