Baby SN is now 6th months old

Last Thursday 26/11/2009 was Shafiq Nazhan's 6th months birthday..yeay my baby is halfway to a year already! . The 6th month brings with it many new accomplishments for baby SN and a lot of fun new stuff for us as parents. This month is also more difficult compared to the previous months for many reasons such as :-

(1) Baby SN is more mobile now which immediately means more work for mommy & daddy.
→ he loves to roll himself but still refuse to move by creeping on his bellies forwards, instead he will moves backwards *masuk gear reverse je*
→ he can already sit on his own without support for few minutes but after some time. he'll get tired and tergolek on his own..hik3x

(2) Baby SN now has started eating baby food on a regular basis once a day, which makes feeding time a lot messier and less simple than just breastfeeding him.
→ So far, he has tried the homemade food of rice + milk, rice + carrot, pear + banana and above the three, he loves the combination of banana + pear the most.

→ I take the signal of him playing with bubble and menyembur2 to stop feeding him as it might be his way of saying : "I'm full"

(3) experienced Baby Separation Anxiety
→ This month brings a new type of fear i.e — separation anxiety. This fear typically begins when baby SN becomes aware that I am separate from him. He will cries when I leave him on his own even for a few minutes. *takleh berada pada jarak lebih dari 5cm dari dia huhuhu*
→ I noticed he becomes more cranky on weekdays and will behave better on weekends as we were with him 24-7.
→ I guess he just wanted to bermanja after staying for 8 hours at the nursery.

(4) Baby SN learn new language
→ He isn't ready to form words, but he'll happily practice making lots of sounds, imitating what he hears...*bila balik rumah je, terjerit2 macam budak2 lain yang dia dengar kat nursery*.
→ I noticed that he gives better respond to the people conversed in Japanese language with him more than in other languages i.e English or Malay or even Kelantanese.
→ Bila I main "ciku-cak" or "peek-a-boo", dia kurang bagi respon, tapi bila I cakap "inai-inai-bak", gelak mengekek2.

*abaikan suara mommy yang sumbangsih *

(5) Baby SN knows mommy really well
→ by now, he can recognize my face and my voice very well even if I am far from him *kadang2 bila daddy dukung, dengar je suara mommy..terus tertoleh2 cari*
→ he love hide and seek games, especially when I hid myself behind his daddy's shoulder..he'll look for me sampai tergeleng2 kepala *chomeyl sangat*.


This past 6 months with baby SN is always a learning process for both of us. There are times when we do feel tired to play with him, there are times when we do get angry with his grumpiness, there are times when we do feel exhausted to entertain him but most of the time i.e 99.99999% of the time is filled with grateful feeling, pleased emotion and blissful passion of having Shafiq Nazhan as our son.

Ten tiny fingers that always want to play

That never stop exploring the wonder of today

Ten tiny fingers that from the very start

Will reach out for tomorrow, yet always hold your heart.
