i eat everything .. feed me .. !

Qiqi -- 8 months

Wah, gak kerasa yah.. tau2 dah 8 bulan aja!
Dulu setelah 8 bulan, Crystal udah stop asi.
Gara2 waktu tuh maknya sering tugas keluar kota, si oma takut Crystal nagih pas maknya lagi gak di rumah. takut gak bisa nanggulangi. (nyesal juga maknya, mestinya lanjut aja sebisanya)

Qiqi masih lanjut asi-nya. Walaupun kayaknya produksi menurun. di kantor masih diperas dan dibawa pulang buat esoknya.

dulu pas Crystal, pernah coba peras asi, terus diberikan di hari berikutnya. tau2nya pertama kali nyoba, si Crystal muntah. dulu kirain asi-nya basi. akhirnya perasan asi di kantor selalu dibuang. setelah nyoba lagi dg Qiqi, kupikir kayaknya dulu mungkin memang kebetulan aja hari itu si Crystal gak fit.

jadi Crystal dpt asi gak sebanyak Qiqi. dulu Qiqi tuh full ASI 3 bulan. kalo Crystal sejak lahir dah campur formula. ini juga gara2 si oma selalu bilang jangan ngutang susu ke si kecil. mak baru tau setelah waktu baca petunjuk rs theresia (jambi), kalo asi di 4 bulan pertama sudah mencukupi. dan ternyata selama 3 bulan pertama (masa cuti) memang cukup kok. asal sehabis nyusuin, maknya langsung "isi bensin".

kayaknya giginya masih 2 yang di bawah. yang di atas masih belom nongol.

Qiqi dah bisa duduk dari posisi tengkurep. mulai dikit2 merangkak, walaupun sering "keperosot" jadi tengkurap lagi.

tgl 24-Jul maren, mulai bisa tepuk tangan (kalo disuruh). tepuk tangannya lucu, yang tangan kiri, biasa .. yang kanan mengepal. setelah nepuk beberapa kali, dia akan menggengam kedua tangan di depan dada buat gerakan "gongxi" (kionghi).

paling gak suka dipakain topi. kalo dipakain, bisa dicopot dalam sekian detik.

masih tahap gemar merobek tisu atau kertas.
tahap gemar memakan apa saja agak berkurang.

sekarang maknya mulai mendudukkan di pispot kalo pipis atau pup. kalo waktunya pas, dia akan pipis atau pup. tapi kalo lagi gak ada, dia akan meronta2, menggeliat kayak ulet.

yang lucu kalo digendong papa-nya. sekarang kan lagi summer. kalo di rumah, papanya suka gak pakai baju. kalo gendong si Qiqi, tangannya langsung menjambak bulu ketek papanya. itu suka dijadiin alesan oleh papanya supaya gak usah gendong. soalnya si kecil kalo maknya di rumah, gak mau digendong papanya.

kalo gendong Qiqi jadi gampang keringatan, Qiqi tuh kayak ulet, suka menggeliat, suka muter2in badannya, suka manjat ke badan yang gendong. kalo misal maknya mau ngelakuin sesuatu, minta papanya or oma/opa buat gendong, si Qiqi langsung membuang atau menyembunyikan mukanya atau menjambak kencang2 baju maknya. kalo sudah pindah tangan, langsung merengek2. udah gitu, papanya suka lupa dipipiskan, jadi sering kena ompol. hihihi..

pernah sekali papanya bilang, "mama gak mau kamu." eeh.. Qiqi langsung nangis. terus papanya bilang, "iya deh..mama mau sama kamu." berhenti nangis. terus papanya coba lagi, "mama gak mau sama kamu." eeh..nangis lagi. "oh..oh..mau deh..mau deh...". berhenti nangis.
seolah2 dia ngerti apa yang kita omongkan.

Qiqi biasanya lebih anteng kalo diajak mandi atau diajak duduk di kursi goyang.

wanna eat xiao-man-tou

i can sit more stably now

masih tentang orang yg nyebelin

berhubung sama2 cewek, jadi kita sekamarlah di hotel. duuh... gua dari dulu emang suka berasa gak nyaman kalo dekat2 die. bawaan aura kali yah ... hahahaha..!

lagi 'dapet' tuh die-nya. terus pipis tuh berapa kali gak nyirem. jadi tiap gua mau pipis kedapetan toilet tuh ada 'ampao' nya. keki juga! sementara gua tuh bukan tipe orang yang blak-blakan langsung negur. sutralah .. mestinya kayak ginian kesadaran sendiri aja.

di sini wc-nya wc kering semua. kalo gua tuh, kalo lagi dapet, ngebuang pun at least dibungkus2 dulu lah, biar gak vulgar. tapi di sini orang2 tuh di mana pun, buang yah langsung aja buang dengan vulgar, jadi "menganga" gitu deh pembalutnya.

gua tuh suka mual kalo lihat yang begituan. mbok.. rapi dikit, kasian orang lain yg mau gak mau, terpaksa gak terpaksa mesti ngelihat. atau kasian orang2 yang tugasnya ngebersihin toilet. udah gajinya kecil, mesti ngebersihin tisu2 bekas kita, mesti lihat pula panorama 'ampao' gitu. mending kalo ampaonya berduit.

Angie .. separation anciety?

when mama came back home, Cyrstal of course was the first one to greet mama. then she said, "Mama, did you buy a new watch?" Cyrstal, as usual, always has good observation ability.

yeah... while waiting for my flight for nearly 2 hours at Pudong Airport (Shanghai), i looked into those duty free stores. finally, bought one .. which was not 5 or 8 yuans. :")


while taking off my shoes, i called Angie. Angie was in grandma's arms. she was observing mama for some time, probably thinking .. "who's this? looks so familiar!" she put her face on grandms's shoulder, smiled shily. after half a minute, she reached her arms to mama.

grandma said Angie was very fine during 3 nites sleep without mama. no separation anciety. when she woke up in the middle of the nite, they just let her drink some water. then she fell asleep again.

never being fussy for these 3.5 days. thank you my dear for not giving hard time to grandpa and grandma. =)

lupa diri

- isi posting sebelumnya aku hapus, terus terang menyesal sudah nulis posting ini. walau istrinya rada2 gimana gitu .. barusan (1-Aug-2008) dengar kabar suaminya sakit. kasian..., mudah2an gapapa dan cepat sembuh -

gigiku ... oh gigiku ...!

seandainya boleh minta sama Tuhan, aku pengen minta ganti gigi nih! kata dokter, gigiku rapuh. aku rasa 80% gigiku sudah tambal sulam semua. hiks...! (*sighhhhh*)

seandainya suruh nyanyi lagunya meggi z, aku akan nyanyi gini...

daripada sakit gigi, lebih baik sakit di hatiiiii... biar tak mengapa.

suer, sakit gigi itu paling gak enak deh. menderita deh! mending sakit hati, dengerin musik or jalan2 bentar juga dah okeh kok.

tgl 1 dan 10 Juli lalu aku check up ke dokter gigi. ada 3 gigi yang ditambal, 1 gigi lagi diobati dulu baru ditambal. total habis 400 yuan. rata2 per gigi 100 yuan, atau 130 ribu rp.
murah sih .. kalo di indo, 20 tahun lalu aja tambal gigi dah kena 75ribu per gigi.

singlet summer bikinan oma

sisters ..

rabbit and wolf

this is Crystal's favorite story lately. sometimes mama could tell this story for more than 5 times a day. so mama change the method, let her tell the story.

Angie's teeth

Angie has 2 teeth now. we can hear the sound of her teeth touching spoon when feeding her. "tick..tick..tick.."

she eats everything !
i fed her some cheese few days ago and fed her ice cream and yoghurt yesterday. haha..certainly she loved it!

she can sit more stably now. but she is much more difficult to take care of compare to Cyrstal. when we carry her in arms, she always wants to turn her body in all direction. when we carry her by sitting down, she wants to stand up.
but she is much easier to feed! she can eat faster then her sis. hahaha!
when mama's at home, she doesnt want other people to carry her.

she loves to bathe. when washing her face, she moves as if she wants to jump into her wash basin. and when in her basin, she grabs the basin side firmly, worries she might fall.

mama will have to go to singapore on 14 july and return by 17 july. so there will be 3 nites when Angie will sleep without mama. oh dear .. hope you are ok by that time!
aduh.. 3 hari gak nyusu, mudah2an Asi mama gak kering yah, nak-ku !

on Saturday, Angie waved with grandpa and later on with grandma when they went out.

when mama told her, "this is jie-jie (sister)." she sometimes says, "dee! dee!"
last week grandma said, "it's so hot!" she said, "yot..yot..yot.." (translated from chinese)

if we bring potty for letting her pee, she will immediately protests by kicking in the air in our arms, as if she were saying, "i dont want to pee." =)

creative girl

Mom cooked abalone (bao yu) yesterday.
After lunch Crystal said, "Mama, you are so kind to cook fish (yu) for me. It's awfully delicious!"
Oh, my dear, mommy was flattered!
Once, I cooked cauliflower. She said, "Mama, this is not delicious. Next time please don't cook this." =)


Creative .. Imaginative .. ?!
We think Crystal is quite a creative or imaginative girl.
* She once pretended calling her uncle, and chat with him for almost 10 minutes.
* Another time, she pretended calling his cousin's grandma (wai-po), and said, "Oh, so your phone number there is 5533235."
* She also likes to change songs lyrics or the way of singing a song.
* When we ask our home phone number, she will say it in such a funny way, then laugh madly about it.
* When listening to songs, she pretends playing the piano.
* When playing stone-scissors-cloth, she will add “gun” (using thumb and index finger) and say bang..bang..bang..!
* when I tell her story about rabbit, elephant and wolf; she uses her hands posing elephant's nose.
.. but no .. she doesn't have imaginary friend.

THIS is one of Crystal's creation; duck mama and duck babies

Language development
Lately during speaking, she begins to use many adverb, conjunction or preposition which we think quite rare to be used by kid, such as:
originally本来; finally终于; then然后; certainly当然; surely肯定; therefore所以; formerly原来


Do something by herself
* Sometimes she will eat by herself if mama is not at home. But if mama's at home, hmmm.. she just wants mama to feed her.
* Once she pooped on the potty. When finished, she brought the potty and poured the pooppy into toilet and brushed the potty. OH-HO ..! of course she messed up a bit while brushing the potty. she brushed it without pouring some water in it. Yeaaaaeeee .. grandpa found out and cleaned the potty for her!
* last nite, actually she was playing with mom .. when seeing cloths on the bed, she folded it one by one. so mom helped her a bit on difficult part. Oh my .. ! this had brought me back to 30 years ago .. my mom said, I had helped my mom folding cloths and swept floor when I was about 5 years old.
* she's also grandma and mama's good helper when we're taking care of Angie. often she helps grandma takes some cloth diapers, brings the potty to grandma, takes the bowl into the kitchen, turns on the fan, etc. sometimes she watches Angie to prevent her from falling from the bed.
* once she took a facial paper and wiped Angie's nose.


oh my dearest girl, you are growing up bit by bit .. day by day !
how mom and dad love you!

let me carry my lil sister

kamu jangan omong yah.. (masih soal Crystal)

mama bawel kali yah?
kali mama udah jadi orang super bawel yah.. mesti instropeksi nih!

gini nih .. ceritanya.
Crystal kan memang belakangan mulai 'nakal'.
kadang suka susah dibilangi, suka gak mau denger. jadi kadang mama mesti ngomong atau ngingetin berulang2.

misalnya, mama bilang, "yang satu sendok ini mama suapin, terus sendok berikutnya kamu makan sendiri yah."
tapi karena makannya & nelannya kadang suka lama banget, mama jadi ngulang ngomongnya buat ngingetin.

eh... taunya Crystal bilang ke mama gini, "mama..kamu jangan omong yah?"
maksudnya dia sih bukan perintahin mamanya buat diam, tapi maksudnya dia .. aku dah tau, mama gak usah ngingetin lagi dan aku akan lakukan kok.

kalo dah gitu, mama akan bilang, "baiklah. mama gak ngomong lagi." sambil nungguin dia ngelakuin sesuatu yang mama minta, walaupun lambaaaaat sekali gerakannya. jadi mesti sabarrrrr.... sabaaaarrrr.... sabar yah mam !


gaul dikit yah nak ..!
kemarin hari pertama libur day-care. untung seharian di rumah gak bandel, kata oma opa, Crystal seharian ini akur dan gak mukulin kokonya. baguslah nak, mudah2an bisa dipertahankan.

waktu mama ajak Crystal dan Angie jalan2 ke taman sepulang dari kerja, juga udah janjian dulu, Crystal gak boleh ngambek dan nurut kata mama.

di taman 2 hari lalu dapat teman baru, namanya Wang Yuxuan. teman sekelasnya Smarty. sejak awal dia mengira Crystal itu nicknamenya Tang-Tang. dia tahu kalo Crystal itu adik (sepupunya) Smarty. sebenarnya lebih tepatnya, mama yang dapat teman baru .. hehehe.. soalnya Crystal masih kurang berani untuk bersosialisasi. diajak ngomong oleh Wang Yuxuan, dia kebanyakan diam. jadi mereka main kejar2an, tapi gak ngobrol.

pas kita-kita udah mau pulang, Wang Yuxuan malah narikin baju mama gak boleh kasih pulang, soalnya dia masih pengen maen bareng Crystal dan mama. terus janjian ketemu lagi hari senen maren. makanya mama ajak Crystal main ke taman lagi kemaren.

mama pikir ada baiknya Crystal punya teman, supaya banyak belajar bersosialisasi.
seringkali ada orang datang ke rumah, Crystal maunya ngumpet aja. disuruh manggil tante atau oom, dstnya... suka malu2, malah kadang gak mau buka mulut.
temannya, tetangga depan pintu, datang main, ajakin Crystal ngomong, Crystal juga dieeeem aja .. gak nyahutin.

aduuuh... gimana toh ini? kok "diem" banget sih?
apa Crystal itu introvert yah?
