Jayden's mummy:- "Nearing 2years old, ahDen's vocab is still quite limited. Lately he can say sth really cute and tat is the word 'Okie'! It must be his daddy who taught him how to say 'Okie'. It happened about 2 weeks ago on a normal afternoon after he woke up from his nap, and i asked him the usual question of "ahDen, do you want milk-milk?"
Then the sleepy boy nods his head while still lazing on our bed and replied "Okie" in a steady and relaxed behaviour. I thought i heard wrongly so i ignored him and tat nite, before his bedtime i asked the 'milk' question again. And tis time, i was positive he said 'Okie' to me. It was really cute for we expected a usual 'Yes' from him, but instead this cheeky boy said 'Okie' while nodding his head like a 'tauke'!
So juz to jot down his achieved vocab so far...
(1) O-pi = for "Open"
(2) Cra-ki = for "Cracker"
(3) Bai-bai = for "Bye bye"
(4) Aer...pan = for "Aeroplane" (tis was the clearest word at a time)
(5) A-mas-ken-ken = for "Thomas & Friends" (tis one really still baby talk)
(6) O-nyo = for "Oh no!"
(7) Bot - for "Boat"
(8) Ball - for "Ball"
maybe still some more but i couldn't think of it now...

1st KL Trip
Jayden's mummy:- "
8th-13th July 2009: This was Jayden's first trip to Kuala Lumpur, but it was first time for all of us to actually be flying from Kota Kinabalu to Kuala Lumpur. Before this, we always flew from Kuching to KL which only takes about 1hr45minutess and tis time flying from KK it actually took us 2hr30minutes. All those long hour in the plane made us kinda uncomfortable and little Jayden juz didn't wan to put on his face mask. Before this we were all wondering if we should juz canceled this family trip, but with all the payments made for the hotels and oso our flight tickets, we juz got on wid our plan.
Hubby always insists tat it's really good to bring kids traveling more often because it's a chance they'll learn more things. Honestly wid each trip we had, we really noticed tat Jayden will learned sth new. Like tis KL trip for example, it was his first time to board so many different types of transportation.... namely LRT, cable car, taxi & buses! He was thrilled when we brought him on the cable cars on the way up to Genting, although he seemed to be terrified in the first place but he got over it real soon when daddy taught him to wave at he passing-by cable cars. He started waving and saying 'bye bye' to all the cable cars tat went pass and it was really cute. Even when he saw picture of the cable car on a banner days after, he will still wave and say 'bye bye' at it!
Jayden's first time on the LRT and monorail was really cute as well. He was amazed at the moving train, and it reminds him so much of his favourite cartoon 'Thomas & Friends' and he will start to say 'wheeeeee....' whenever the train starts moving. Although it was terribly tiring for all the adults especially daddy, for we need to carry heavy Jayden along all the way to catch LRT, catch buses, all the public transport; but we were truly happy seeing Jayden being so excited.
At Genting, Jayden was still too young to play most of the rides so we only brought him on the Busy Bug Monorail. We paid RM8 per adult juz for this ride alone, and we ended up being stuck up there for 40minutes cox sth went wrong wid the monorail. So it was worth our money after all for we actually paid RM1 for 5minutes! =) The worst thing was ahDen actually poo-ed in his diaper before we board the bug, but the queue was way too long for us to re-queue again, so we insisted riding it before giving him a diaper change. It was embarassing for the poor lady and her son in the same cabin with us had to suffer with ahDen's shit smell for tat long! We didn't predict tat sth will went wrong wid the bug... rotten luck for them i guess!
We stayed at Genting Theme Park Hotel, and our rooms were so far away from its lobby. It was situated at the other wing of the building and it was terribly far! For tis trip we really WALKED alot, and WALKED so far! It it was walking alone, it'd still be fine for all of us but it was including carrying loads like our backpacks & our kids! Phew!
We went to Ikea on tat Saturday and spent more than RM500 there. Ikea was amazing but not the ride we took there. It was our first time there, and all the stuff there seems wonderful and we wanted to get alot of things for our future house. We ended up spending the most on Jayden, for daddy said he didn't spend any money on the rides at Genting so we used tat money to buy his favourite toy for him. We spent RM110 on 2 different types of wooden toys for him, and nearly RM200 on the Mammut stools and chairs for the kid's room we plan to haf in our house next time.
The most comforting encounter was actually finding a toy tat Jayden can focus on for so long. Before this we had friends commenting about Jayden being a little to the hyperactive type and the risk of him being attention deficit. Tat really worries both daddy & mummy. We spent more time then bringing him to the beach and playground, hoping he can use up his excess energy daily. Finally tat day at Ikea, he found tis wonderful toy. Although it was such a simple toy, it managed to keep ahDen focus for the whole afternoon while we shopped in peace. We put both Jayden and the 'Mϋla Bead Roller Coaster' toy inside our shopping cart, and he stayed in there playing with it until we were done wid our shopping. Both daddy & mummy felt so much comforted and happy wid ahDen's progress tat afternoon, so ended up daddy really don't mind spending so much on him! The other toy tat we got for him was the 'Mϋla Crane with Blocks'. We really wished we could get him all the MULA toys but they were quite costly.

Another new encounter for Jayden was he finally had his first taste of strawberries. Auntie Ming bought a box of strawberries and okie, it was kinda sour but still greedy Jayden ate one after another! Tis trip to KL we noticed tat Jayden starts to show interest in toys, and he will insist holding on to a toy tat he likes in the departmental store. But we know tat we mustn't spoil him and buying him everything tat he likes. Since Jayden can understand more now, we had better start educating him. "

shopping cart!
Jayden's mummy :- " These are some cute photos we took at Tong Hing here in Kota Kinabalu, back on 2nd June 09. Jayden was playing with the kid's shopping cart, and he was particularly amazed at the size of the shopping cart which is juz the right size for him. He must be imagining tat little Jayden too can shop like an adult, pushing the shopping cart around all by himself. It's really very hard to get some still photos of him, for he was far too excited to be able to keep still for a second. These are some of the best shots that i have."

Double Pacifiers!
Jayden's mummy :- " Whenever i saw ah Den doing this wid his pacifier, it juz reminds me so much of my younger brother who used to do so when he was about tis age too. I haf a strong memory of this cox i remembered my dad took a photo of my bro sucking 2 or 3 of his rubber pacifier all at the same time! And now, ah Den is playing the same trick! Just like his 'qiu qiu' (uncle)... as naughty and as cheeky and they both have big head!
Normally when ahDen got hold of both his pacifiers, (i usually only give him one... the other acts as a back-up) he'll hold one in each hand. Alternately he'll put the pacifier on one hand into his mouth, then pull it out and put the other one in his other hand into his mouth again. He'll be doing tis repeatedly, and it owest makes me wonder if it is really so fun to play like tat."

Amen...
Jayden's mummy :- "
At the age of 20 months, one of the most wonderful two-syllable word tat Jayden can utter, other than 'mummy' & 'daddy', is no other than 'Amen'. It happened somewhere after 18th May, after we came back from Kuching this time.
That time he was sitting in his daddy's car and we were on our way home. While listening to the Kid's Prayer CD, which we had finally taken the initiative to place into one of the CD changer slot in the car, he surprisingly uttered 'Amen'. He was looking at me as he said 'Amen' while i was craddling him in my arms cox he was feeling sleepy then.
It sounded so wonderful and touching. I was feeling down then, and when he said that amazing word to me, i felt like crying. I was very happy hearing him saying 'Amen', and it instantly made me feel so much stronger. I kissed my adorable son on his forehead and replied 'Amen' to him as well.
He must haf realised how his newly achieved vocab thrilled both his parents, for he kept on saying 'Amen' non-stop after tat until we reached home! =))"

going Round & Round...
Jayden's mummy :- "
Lately Jayden just have this funny habit of turning himself around in circles. He really enjoys playing like this... even if he gets dizzy after his spin, he still enjoys going round and round in circles. Sometimes when he couldn't spin any longer, he'll just dropped himself on the bed and lie there giggling to himself. I guess he must be wondering why the world around him was spinning. Hahaha.... kids are just so curious.
Oh ya, and there's this funny act of playing with his shadow as well. I don't think i can record tis as the room will be quite dark when we dim the lights at nite. Whenever it's bedtime, we usually don't switched off all the lights. We'll leave one of the light on, the one on the way to the bathroom. So little Den den will be walking to and fro from the light. At first both of us were wondering wat he was doing marching to and fro in front of our bed, and then we finally come to realise tat he was noticing his shadow.
He tried moving away further from the light and saw the little shadow in front of him grew and grew. Then he tried moving towards the light, and even looking behind him to see if his shadow was tagging along. Then he'll sway his body from left to right, and giggled when he saw his shadow moving from side to side as well. Sigh... juz how cute kids can be!"

multi-purpose latch
Jayden's mummy :- "
Recently ahDen had learnt something new, and he keeps on polishing his new accomplished skill - tat is opening the fridge! >:P
Even when it's under our watchful eye, and when we said 'No Jayden, close the fridge now!'.... it was totally useless. He juz ignored us completely and continued playing wid the stuff inside the fridge. I remembered how my niece Esther used to do the same thing wid the fridges at my mum's house - opening & closing the fridge door non-stop. So it's supposed to be a stage for the toddlers, and sth tat they'll maneuver sooner or later.... and finally it is Jayden's turn.
Monday morning i played ahDen's nursery rhymes vcd for him on the TV, hoping i can steal some time to brush my teeth. Normally he'll be knocking at the bathroom asking for me but strangely not tat morn. So i took a peek outside to check on him and there he was removing the stuffs from the fridge - Bovril, margerine, condensed milk! No wonder he was being such a quiet & 'good' boy! All tat's bcox he had found a new 'toy'!
Finally both hubby & I could stand it no longer. We both knew it's time to get a latch for the fridge. Sigh! I used to hear my ex-colleagues complaining about their kids opening the fridge non-stop and a latch like tis solved all their problem. ;)) Who knows i'll be looking for tis latch too one day?!?! I cracked my head thinking where i'd seen this type of multi-purpose latch before.... and we decided to hunt for it at Anakku Karamunsing.
First stop at Anakku, I found the latch but it came wid a whole set of other safety items which i don't think i need. So we went to Guardian next, looking for only the multi-purpose latch. I found it alright but the latch alone costs RM8+, whereas the HomeSafety Gift Set costs RM20 and there are 14 items in it - Corner Cushions Round Type x4, Socket/Outlet Plug x4, Multi-purpose Latch x2, Anti Slam Doorstopper x2, Safety Scissors x1, & Cabinet Slide Latch x1. So definately getting the whole set seems to worth more, moreover there are actually 2 of the latches i wanted.
Ahhhh.... now finally the fridge is safe, and finally all the items inside the fridge are safe too. Phew.... save both mummy & daddy the trouble of looking out for DenDen's Fridge Mischief! Thank God someone actually invented these latches. =))"
