Oil prices is cRazzzzzyy...!

Its been weeks since i see the petrol price drop...not even a cent...!

But driving is still necessary here...esp going out with a demanding baby...
I used to drive around aimlessly to 'tour' calgary...it also works best when Darius is cranky...but now dat the weather is good, we prefer to stroll to the newly open Superstore...jus 5 mins from our house...

As of 17th May...

Darius' 1st official hAircUt !

Weather: Cloudy, 12°C

It all happened 2 weeks ago on Victoria Day...

Darius' 6th month gallery...!

Baby dAriuS is siX months old...!

Darius' milestones...

* able to sit unsupported since 2 weeks ago @ 5.5 mths old...thumbs up my boy!

* when on his tummy can only use his legs to push himself sideways but not forward

* pick up baby biscuits with his fingers

* can somehow understand wat i'm saying at times...

* able to imitate some of my actions...like shaking his head from side to side...waving his hands in the air...

* starting to show some anxiety over strangers...esp afraid of old men with big beards...

* more interested in anyting and everyting in my hands like the hp, camera, remote etc rather than toys i put in front of him...

* likes to bite food but will spit them out...

* seems less interested in breastfeeding and wants to be part of every action around him...in other words...kaypo~~~

* will stretch out his hands to show he wants to be carried

* noticed he tried to say some words...cant make out wat they were...but they still sound like babbling...

* luuuuuurvves his toes...always a struggle during diaper change....dun even wanna let them go...

Everyday watching him play is very entertaining...i know he is at the same time learning and discovering his world...watch him from being ignorant of how to play to trying to play with the toy to knowing how to play and learn from the toy...it gives me a sense of pride...and its so amazing dat in 6 mths he has grown and changed soooo much...i can still remember the newborn, the 'just ripe' human being dat was thrown into my arms on 16 Nov 2007 @ 2029 hrs...

Now dat he is into the Doing Stage, some time within the next 6 mths he will be mobile on his fours or twos, n by then he will b squirming and struggling out of my arms for freedom...
So i really cherish every moment i get to carry him though i do complain of tiredness as he is such a BIG baby...

Darius,
when u smile mummy's heart melt...and i feel on top of the world
when u cry mummy's heart break...and i feel my world came apart
when mummy scold u...i meant well...and my heart hurts
when mummy praise u...i meant it...and it comes from the bottom of my heart
There are times dat mummy do not catch ur cues...and upset u...
but please be patient with me as its my first time as a Mummy...
and i'm glad i gave my first to u...
There are times u do get on my nerves becoz u cant stop crying...
but yet i'm the only one dat can comfort u...
and how great i feel to have u all to myself...most of the times...
Everyday i have been telling u these 3 words, and i'm gonna say it again now and for the rest of my life...I LOVE U...n so do Daddy...we both LOVE u dearly...

To grandma n grandpa with lovE...
