Zafeer @ 11 months old

And before we know it Zafeer is now 11 months old. Few weeks away to his 1st birthday *glee* He is at the phase of pulling himself up from a sitting to standing position. The usual spots are the couch and tv cabinet. He has started walking while holding the furniture. What worries me is when he let go, its either he sat on his padded-diaper-bum or lost balance because it's kinda tricky for him to sit down again. He's also trying to climb up if he has 'tools' like pillows, our legs, or even naqeeb's head.

I'm trying to avoid to use the word NO. But sometimes i just can't help it when he wants to lick everything on sight like wires, plastics, toss every thing he can grasp like remote, handphones, hot wheels. NO is the only word i can think of. We are trying our best to be extra careful not to leave small things lying around like lego tyres/coins/papers because unlike Qeeb time baby, Zafeer loves to taste everything. Plus he likes to find stuff under the couch.

Separation anxiety pon macam ada. When i leave the room he will started to cry. Once, we were out for a while, bibik said he was crying and looking for us even in the washroom. During Irina's birthday party the other day pon, he cried when unfamiliar faces dukung and kissed him.

A note on 'brotherly love' relationship, Qeeb can be really helpful putting everything out of zafeer's reach. But most of the times, he practically took every thing away including Zafeer's own toy that he has nothing left to play. Perhaps that could be the reason why Zafeer has a new sleeping pattern. He likes to stay up late to play! Because Qeeb dah tido so he can play peacefully, i guess. But both of us lahhh yang rasa nak nanges because we were sooo sleepy nak tunggu dia abes 'battery'. Time tido plak if he suddenly wakes up, dia musti nak duduk wpon mamai. Then nanges as loud as he can sampai the big brother hangen and join nanges. Aigooooo stress mak! Si jeeb pon makin terel bancuh susu under pressure hahahaha.
