Tingkah Faith

Kemarin malam coba pake blogger for iPod, udah tulis panjang lebar tapi pas di save kok malah ilang???

Anyway, ini beberapa tingkah Faith yang suka bikin kita ketawa..

Situasi no 1: Mencoba toilet training
Oma: Faith, yuk pipis dulu ya.. pssshh pssssh (kata orang kalau denger suara pipis anak jd pengen pipis)
Faith: pssshh psssshhh (niruin suara pipisnya tapi gak pipis2 -_-)

Situasi no 2: Bobo malem
Papa: Faith bobo yuk, mama papa mau bobo ahh... Grook...grook (ceritanya suara ngorok)
Faith: grook... grook... (niruin suara ngoroknya -_-)

Faith lagi suka niru nih, jadi mesti ati2 hehe.. tapi herannya kalo yang bandel2 gini cepet dia nirunya, tapi kalo kayak sikat gigi, kok susah ya hehe.. Tapi kalau diperhatiin, kadang kita ajarin dia sesuatu dia appear not interested.. tapi nanti tiba-tiba dia bisa sendiri.. (ini terjadi saat ajarin masukin ring stacker, minum pake sedotan..)

Situasi no 3: Conversation
Papa: Faith sayang mama?
Faith: *ngangguk ngangguk*
Papa and Mama: Horee!!

Papa: Faith sayang papa?
Faith: *ngangguk ngangguk*
Papa and Mama: Horeee!!

Papa: Faith sayang oma?
Faith: *ngangguk ngangguk*
Papa and Mama: Wah pinter ya dia udah ngerti :)

Papa: Faith sayang anak tetangga?
Faith: *ngangguk ngangguk*
Papa and Mama: -_-

Trus sekarang Faith lagi suka

1. Ajak kita dance -> Jadi dia minta disetelin musik.. (nunjuk2 CD player), terus abis gitu dia tuntun tangan kita suruh kita bangun dan dance sama dia.. :)
2. Main kuda-kudaan -> Pertamanya boneka beruang yang dijadiin kuda.. tapi sekarang kok sukanya mama-nya yang dijadiin kuda.. terus dia suka mencoba berdiri diatas badan mama abis gitu jatuhin dirinya dalam posisi duduk (ngerti ga ya? hehe), tapi entah kenapa dia ga tertarik kalau papanya yang offer himself jadi kudanya... apa mama mirip kuda ya Faith??? -_-

Weekend kemarin kita ke Grand Indo (lagi!!) dalam rangka menghabiskan kartu Fun World IDR200k yang Toma beli (cerita di posting yang ini).. tp Faith malah lebih tertarik lari-larian aja yang gratisss hehehe...

Terus minggunya ketemuan sama Leo and Brian.. for some reason Faith takut sama Brian hehe.. dia kept holding my hand terus mukanya nunduk ga mau liat, sampe akhirnya dia ketiduran.. Kenapa ya? apa mungkin karena si Brian duduk disebelahnya ya, atau dia ngantuk belom nap.. hiks..

Abis gitu kita mau ke ultah Hope, tapi dijalan Faith muntah (tapi pas sampe rumah malah seger anaknya??).. jadi batal deh kesana... padahal pengen ajak Faith socialize sambil menghias donut.. anyway mungkin lain kali ya..

Btw, just downloaded Camera 360 in iPod.. (ada buat android juga)

It's a really cool photo editor.. banyak banget effectnya and it's free :) Instagram mah lewat.. tapi mungkin dia belom beken ya..

father daughter minum-minum hehe
(bisa dibuat kayak sketch pake Camera 360)

Naik unta di Fun World, kata Toma gak enak kayak dilempar2

mejeng didepan WC deket Fun World.. WC nya keren, child friendly banget :)

Mainan gratis/murah :)

Selama liburan kita suka mati gaya bingung ngajak Faith main apa..
Tapi ternyata Faith itu gampang disenangkan dengan simple2 things around the house :) (ini emak bapaknya yang irit kalii.. hehe)

Kereta-keretaan

Terinspirasi dari choo-choo train yang lagi ngetrend di mall2 se jakarta.. dan mainan di gymboree.. maka dengan bermodalkan meja tulis, bantal dan sarung bali, jadilah "kereta-keretaan" a-la Faith



duduk manis kayak bos hehe "tarik mang!!"

 Bubbles

Kalau yang ini sih semua anak pasti suka ya..

Agak modalan dikit, alat tiupnya beli di Ancol.. bentuknya kayak pistol gambar singa laut (IDR 25k) gitu hehe..

Bubblesnya dibuat dari sabun dan air...

 

Faith kept wow-ing when she saw the bubbles..(literally saying whoaa woww.. hehehe)

 

Sprinkle

Faith suka main air, kayanya semua anak suka ya?
Sekalian nyiram tanaman, beli sprinkle di Ace Hardware sekitar IDR50k hehehe..
Abis basah2an langsung mandi deh :)

Laundry Basket
Nah kayanya si Faith udah get her parents' ideas of inventing your own toys hehe.. dia tau2 masukin laundry basket ke pala-nya, kaya di foto ini nih.. trus jalan sana sini hehe...

Slide @ PIM

Faith juga suka main slide.. suka banget kita ajak ke PIM karena banyak playground mini gratisss!!! hihihi....

Kalau di mall2 lain kan bayar tuh hehehe.. sementara mainannya itu2 aja menurut aku..

Gak papa ya Faith, yang penting hepi kan?? :)

  

I hope when she reads this blog, she understand that we want to teach her that happiness lies in simple things and that she should be creative and optimizing what she has..

This is very true...

This is a reminder for me to teach Faith to do for herself other than doing it for her.

A happy baby

kalau senyum matanya ilang ya?

this picture was taken right after she woke up from her nap

19 months old

She's been a happy baby for as long as I remember...

This was her at 3.5 months old..

3.5 months old

Still in holiday mood :)

Jakarta's traffic is very friendly nowadays due to Hari Raya holiday. Most people return to their hometown. Since going out of town will be tiring due to the traffic, we decided to stay in Jakarta.. and what other activities to do in Jakarta besides mall-hopping hehehe :)

On Monday 20 August 2012, we didn't go anywhere because Faith threw up all of her breakfast, milk and water. I was very concerned, but she turned out all right. She even danced as usual after finish throwing up all of her food. I was relieved that she could eat porridge I made without throwing up again. I didn't know what caused her to throw up. But I think Nasi Opor (favourite Hari Raya's food) was the culprit.

On Tuesday 21 August 2012, we went to Grand Indonesia. However when we just arrived there Toma's mom called and asked  us to go to Kelapa Gading to visit some relative. It was unplanned because Toma's auntie visited his mom and they decided to go to Kelapa Gading that day. Did i confuse you? :)

Faith slept all through the trip and woke up when we arrived. Everybody said that she was a nice kid, not crying or cranky at all. She even gave her "signature move" performance (goyang pinggul) in front of them :)

She played with Toma's cousin daughters, Bella and Adeline.. well, to be exact, actually she played with their  toys :)

 riding Adeline's otopet.

Toma's cousin served us Pontianak crab noodle, Faith liked it. It was her first time eating crab. Thank God there was no allergic reaction.

Today we went to Grand Indonesia again, yay!

To our surprise Faith wanted to sit on her stroller. I forgot when the last time she sat on her stroller. I also forgot what made us thought she didn't want to sit there anymore. We were glad that we tried again. She also wanted to sit nicely on a high chair at the restaurant. Double yay!

horrayyy!! 

(she pulled down the hairpin not long after taking this picture)

Grand Indonesia was packed with people. Maybe people decided to eat out (no maid,etc)..

Toma said he promised Faith yesterday to take her to Fun World. (She looked very happy when we passed Fun World. She pointed at the attraction and stomped her feet happily).

When we arrived there, Toma decided to recharge the Fun World card using debit BCA to receive 25% additional money for a minimum purchase of IDR 200k. However for some reason Faith wasn't interested in playing there. She was more interested in her stroller ... hehe.. so we decided to go for lunch first and went back after that.

After lunch she still wasn't interested, she was sleepy. At first we took her to ride the camel one, but she refused. Then we tried the train (IDR 10k per person).

i managed to take their pictures when the train was moving :)

After riding the train, we gave Faith a bottle of milk and she slept in the stroller. 

We strolled around for a while then decided to go home.

Hmm.. I'm wondering where should we go tomorrow? 

Personality and some weekend story

Faith is a bit shy when meeting new people.
She needs time to adjust.
Kata Toma, pertamanya malu2 lama2 malu2in hehehe..

Other than that I think she's relatively easy going..
She's not strong willed. If she wants something and not allowed, she will not cry or scream..
She likes to try new food. Especially those which we eat, so we have to be careful about what we eat.. :)
She likes to play, dance, sing (now sounds more like humming)..
She laughs when she's tripped. She thinks it is funny..
She's relatively careful when walking/climbing..
When she was little, before she crawled to the floor, she'd tapped the floor first as if testing the surface..
She can sleep easily. This is a blessing to us when taking her travelling..
She loves fruit, all kinds of fruit..

She's the love of our life.. :)

Anyway, last Friday on independence day we went to my cousin's Mila 16th birthday.

mom, Mila, me, Faith and Maura (Mila's cousin's daughter)

Then we went to visit baby Megan, the second daughter of my friend Yenny at RS Bunda (forgot to take pictures here). Her sister, Karen is only 3 months older than Faith.

Afterwards we had dinner with Michelle, Elwi and Andrew at PI. Andrew was very cute, showing Faith his game at ipad. Faith however looked annoyed because Andrew was too close to her hehehe...

Does Andrew look like Macaulay Culkin?

I was very happy that Faith wanted to sit down on baby chair again. It made us easier to eat outside.
Funny thing yesterday she wanted to try Toma's ice lemon tea. Without us realizing, she already sipped half of the glass! She must have really liked ice lemon tea. However it made her diaper leaking because she just had a bottle of milk hehehe.

Then we rode cho2 train. It was Faith's second time. The first she rode with Toma, she cried whenever she sees me. This time she rode with me.

Andrew can understand Mandarin, English and Hokian. I want to introduce Faith to English. However I am afraid that it would confuse her and slow her ability to speak (since she doesn't speak much now). People said the earlier the better..maybe I'll try when she's already can speak.

Today is the third day of our Independence Day/Hari Raya holiday, without mbak Yanti, and we enjoy it so much. We play all day with Faith. Can everyday be like this?

19 months: Tot school activities

I stumbled accross this website and imediately thinking to try some of activities with Faith.
It was actually simple2 stuff using everyday things that we can find in the house.
It was to improve her motoric skills.

putting straws into steamer hole

she was more interested in putting the big straw than the small straw, because it fit perfectly

sticking the stickers

she gave herself a clap everytime she was able to stick the stickers :)

Also reading books..

I always want Faith to love reading because i believe books open your mind and broaden your knowledge.

Lately she likes to bring her children bible to me. She takes my finger and points it to the pictures as if asking me to read to her :)

Anyway she turned 19 months yesterday. 5 more months before her second birthday :)
