Four Molars
Dear Readers,
Mommie has been so busy with her work these few weeks that she forgot to announce to you of my new molar teeth.
After the first molar tooth that Mommie told you in the previous blog, I cut another molar tooth on the other side of my bottom gum. Not long after that, another 2 molar teeth showed themselves on each side of my upper gum.
Thus, the total number of teeth as of today is... 5 front teeth + 4 molars = 9 teeth. Hey! That's my Mommie's favourite number! Wow wee!!
Hope to have more teeth when I turn 1.5 years next month. ;-) Looks like I have to bite Mommie more to grow them some more! Hahaha...!!!
MommieSha: Bitey-Baby on the loose! Help!!! (I'm now tied to the chair, watching BabyShasha typing every word in this blog. :-S)
Love enjoying papadam and chips with my teeth. Yumm yumm... - BabyShasha
Erk!

Tapping to the rhythm
My little drummer, 1 year 5 months old BabyShasha, is picking up well with her sense of music and rhythm.
I still remember my friend Adrian said, "This is the first baby I met who listens to adult music." He gave a kind of "duh?" expression to that statement. My reply was simple, "If we're in my car, we listen to my music... I don't care. Anyway, I grew up with adult music and I learnt a lot from the songs and lyrics, especially English words and pronunciation."
Well, that's not the main reason I exposed my junior to such music, but basically music is part of my daily life. It can boost a person's creativity by using both sides of the brain, that's what I believe.
Yesterday, as we were driving around town listening to the music on air, I noticed from the corner of my eye that BabyShasha's hand was moving. Previously, BabyShasha would sing along to the melody. This time round, the music on air was mostly up-to-the-beat, more sound of base and drum. So her approach was different.
I observed it carefully and I noticed that she's actually waving her right index finger up and down according to the beat of the song... Can you imagine an orchestra conductor waving the wand according to music? That's what she did!
BabyShasha was learning to get to the right beat and tempo. She got it right for the first few phrases and it slowly went off-beat when she stopped for a while. After some time when she could catch the right beat again, she would "wave her wand" again...
Hhmm... at last! Some trait of mine flowing through the veins of my little darrrrrrling! Hehehe.. ;-D
Very proud of my little darrrrrrling,

Na-nak tu!
Finally, I could manage to understand BabyShasha's words... bit by bit. She's slowly coming out of her baby language, and into the world of words that make sense to us... or at least, to her Mommie.
A few nights ago, as I was trying to satisfy my late night appetite, BabyShasha made her move... She started to get cranky over nothing, asking me to lift her up and carry her around.
It seems that there's no boundary to things she can see. She actually asked me to lift her up so that she can see what's on the dining table and register it in her memory.
After feeding her a bit of milk, BabyShasha made her cranky move again and this time she kept on pointing to the table top and uttered the word, "Na-nak tu!"
Normally, the word "na-na" is for milk and "ma-ma" is for food. This time I realised that "na" actually means "nak" (or "hendak" in Malay), which means "want". When she added the word "tu" at the back, it all made sense - "Na-nak tu!" means "I want that!" It's the same kind of way I used to tell my mom when I was a toddler!
At last! My kid can talk! Hahaha...!!
Now, I'm still waiting for her to repeat that full sentence... Hhmm... :-?

Understanding Mommie...
Upon dropping BabyShasha at the nursery yesterday morning, I stared straight in her eyes and said, "Tonight, Mommie will pick you up at 10PM, ok? Mommie has class today, and by the time Mommie arrive here it will be 10PM. Promise."
BabyShasha gave a blank stare, probably trying to understand what I was saying. She took my hand and kissed it (it's our way of giving "salam" and respecting elders), and I gave her a kiss at the corner of her lips before bidding her "ta-ta". BabyShasha waved her hand in return, as always.
At sharp 10PM, I knocked on the nursery door, waiting patiently at the doorway for my baby, thinking that she would be sleeping by then. Instead of a sleeping babe, I saw BabyShasha running accross the hall towards my hug with a huge grin across her face.
"Aik? How come you're still awake? Aren't you sleepy yet?" I asked my little toddler.
"She didn't want to sleep at all. Every time she almost slept off, she quickly got up and walk around and around the hall... as if waiting for her Mommie," said the babysitter.
I get the feeling that BabyShasha really understands me when I told her that I'm picking her up at certain time. She shows it by waiting for me, stubborn to fall asleep because she knows Mommie promised her to pick her up on time.
Sigh... My bay bee... :'-)
Love the discovery of my kiddo's intelligence...,
