My baby boo Rafa is 1 year 3 months old. 11kg and 82 cm tall. Gigi ada tujuh batang. Rambut lurus tak maggi macam rambut abang. Banyak cakap. Baru belajar berjalan. Bila berjalan macam zombie. Kaki melangkah keras. Tangan dua terangat ke atas.
Tapi sangat comel. Senyum sangat manis. Muka sangat bulat. Mata sangat besar. Ketawa sangat Ha! Ha! Ha!
Rafa sangat kuat mengadu, kalau Miki buat apa-apa kat dia definitely si kecik ni akan datang kat kitorang dan “cerita”. His vocabulary increases significantly everyday. Yesterday, he walked all the way to where Azman was sitting while repeating “Tu Ipad! Tu Ipad! Tu Ipad!” and once he got to him, dia rampas la Ipad tu… hahaha…
Pandai tengok TV, favourite movie is still Wreck It Ralph, Escape From Planet Earth and Cloudy With A Chance of Meatball. Hates Shrek and Kungfu Panda and moderately likes Nemo. Been to the movies many times including Ironman 3. Recently we brought him to watch Cloudy With A Chance of Meatball 2 and we totally do not have a problem with him at all. He will just sit on our lap, eat snacks and enjoy the show. hehe
Rafa is also such an active little climber and unlike Miki, dia memang sikit pun takde perasaan gayat. He loves the playground and totally fearless when it comes to the slides or swing. This week he has even started climbing up the slides not from the steps at the back but in front on the slide itself. Dari jauh kalau Nampak playground aje dah tergedik-gedik terpekik-pekik kegembiraan. Nak balik confirm nangis.
Rafa ni sejak kecik memang suka mandi. Kalau nampak dia gelisah tak mahu tidor, mandikan sure OK lepas tu. Masalah yang hadir berikutan tabiat suka mandi tersebut ialah bila mandi taknak berhenti. Awal-awal dulu kalau air sejuk dia tak suka la jugak tapi sekarang lepas merasa sejuknya mandi kat air terjun, Rafa memang tak peduli lansung dengan temperature air…
Miki pulak suka join mandi sekali dengan Rafa. Lagi la best sebab ada kawan boleh splash-splash sampai basah kuyup satu bilih air. haishhh….
Saya tak kisah sangat kalau Rafa berendam lama dalam bilik air sebab saya dah perhatikan paip air adalah salah satu benda yang terawal yang ajar Rafa cause and effect. Mula-mula I noticed Rafa belajar cause and effect masa dia main dengan Fisher-Price Learning Phone yang Miki dapat hadiah masa first birthday dia, sampai sekarang elok lagi.
Keduanya paip. Rafa nampak satisfied giler bila dia berjaya tarik kepala paip dan air keluar. Tolak balik dan air berhenti. Masa tu umur Rafa belum setahun lagi, mungkin dalam 8-9 bulan. Bila kita kata “pandai rafa!” dia tepuk tangan. hehe…
Bila nampak Rafa banyak sangat nak belajar even dalam bilik air, saya bagi dia toy ni. Sangatla best sampai makin lama duk dalam tub! Laugh & Learn™ Bathtime Bongo namanya. Ini mainan fully waterproof yang kitorang ada… Best giler..

Untungla ko Rafa, sambil mandi pun ada toys. I remember Mummy masa kecik dulu tak minat toys tapi suka membaca. Suka sangat sampai malas nak mandi sebab nak habiskan baca buku cerita ke atau apa2 buku that I was reading. I remember my father said, kena buat buku dari plastik untuk Diyana. Supaya dia boleh mandi sambil baca buku. haha begitulah nerdnya diriku…
Anyway no wonder kids these days are smarter than we did before. They are exposed to great many more things and toys they play are also highly educational. Like all of the toys from Fisher-Price. Did I mention that this week Miki is having his exams? It gives me a heart attack just thinking about it… hehe! Good Luck Miki, be good Rafa.. and have a great day ahead people!
