OF ABANG IQIE
Abang Iqie can now converse quite well. He understands what we tell him most of the time. Having a conversation with him nowadays is a fun thing for me and hubby. The way he expresses himself with the limited words that he can utter sometimes make us laugh.
"What dat Mummy?"
"What dat Mummy?"
"Mummy play wit Iqie, pleassssss"
"WOW... Daddy car fast..."
He can even sing all his favourite rhymes, like "Old McDonald Had a Farm", "Ba Ba Black Sheep", "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", "The Wheels on the Bus", "Mary Had a Little Lamb", and many more. We sometimes hear him humming while playing. He can even sing Barney's "I Love You, You Love Me" song. And that's the funny part...

When Hubby and I speak to him, we always say "YOU" - referring to him. He takes it that "YOU" means "IQIE". Whenever we say "Mummy / Daddy carry YOU", he takes it as "Mummy / Daddy carry IQIE". So, when he wants us to carry him, he says "Mummy, carry YOU, pleasss..." hehehheeee... Funny how kids perceive things that are said to them. Another one is the word "park". We always reverse park the car. So we say, "Mummy park the car". So when Iqie is on his electric bike and he wants to reverse it, he says, "Iqie park bike". Even when we reverse the car he would say, "Mummy park car".
The case with the word "YOU" extends to Iqie's singing. Sometimes when he wants to close his eyes to sleep, he would hug either Hubby or me and sing Barney's "I Love You, You Love Me" song. But in his case, he cleverly changes the lyric to this:
I love you...
YOU love MUMMY... -> which means IQIE love Mummy :)
We are happy family...
With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you -> funny how this is not changed ;)
Won't you say you love me too...
Another development that we see in Iqie is that he now can recite his ABC and his doa whenever he wants to eat (ever so loudly...). And most importantly, he seems to be connecting with Afeeq more. He plays with him and involves him more in his activities at home.

OF AFEEQ
Afeeq is now 11 months old. He has 4 teeth so far, 2 upper and 2 lower. He's very active and just can't sit still. He crawls everywhere. He's now beginning to take a step or two whenever we're around him. But he's still a little bit scared.
In the house, he is the one who makes a lot of mess. He knows where the toys and the CDs are. So, whenever we leave him alone, he would crawl to the toy box and the CD box and BANG... the whole floor is covered with toys, CDs, books, etc.

Hmmmm... I am still amazed at how fast these 2 have grown...
