this was supposed to be yesterday's posting..

6.00 am : hek..hek..hek... (Daniel nak start enjin nangis dia....)
Waaa!!!!Waa!!!!

It was about his usual second feeding time during his night sleep. Normally the first feeding time would be somewhere around 12midnight to 2am. Second ones would normally be somewhere around 4am-6am.

Still sleepy, I carried him out to the living room area, where he would normally be cheerfully greeted by Nenek and Atuk. Nenek prepared his formula milk while I tried to soothe him with plain water first.

After feeding, I put him on his mattress and started playing with him. I don't know why, but baby Daniel had always been fond playing very early in the morning, eversince his early days on earth. Kalau orang tak main-main dengan dia, he would cry. Sabar je la..

Suddenly he turned to his side, facing me who was sitting next to him. So, I casually laid next to him, so that my face were facing his on his side. Then I saw him turned further... Very slowly... Suddenly it struck me! Daniel was trying to flip and lie on his tummy (meniarap)! Wow!! I encouraged and cheered him on (yeah cheering di subuh hari...) and exactly at 6.28am, July 18, 2006, he had flipped fully and was lying on his tummy!!! yay!!!

The victory apparently consumed a lot of his energy...hehe... He didn't manage to lift his head after that. Sort of like tersembam kat atas tilam..hehe...After failing miserably to lift his head and wiggled roughly, I picked him up from the mattress. Kang lemas naya pulak!

I was so proud to have witnessed this new progress. Come to think of it, memang career parents normally would miss witnessing their baby's development. We would never know when would be the baby's first laugh, first flip, first word, first crawl, first step etc etc.... Those poignant moments should be witnessed, and forever remembered. Tapi nak buat macam mana? Tak kerja kang, macamana nak beli susu anak kan? Tu lah, those are the sacrifices that we have to make after we decided to take the new responsibilities of becoming parents kan?

Anyway, spent the whole morning sending my sis for her interviews around Subang and PJ areas. Afternoon ada appointment kat TPM, and after that, we stopped by Endah Parade to grab a few things. Sedar-sedar dah 6pm, so we rushed back to pick Daniel up from babysitter's house. Tengok-tengok Nenek dia dah sampai dulu and picked him up already.

Rearranged the bedroom's furniture and stuffs till late. Hubby got to work extra late today. (to be continued...see today's actual posting...)
