Weddings and Birthdays Party

It's been months of weddings and 1 year birthday party marathon for me start from last november until second week of this month, I've attend to 2 cousin wedding from hubby side, 1 cousin wedding from my side, 3 friends wedding and 5 birthday party (6, include of bryan's birthday party)!! 2 of that birthday party even in one day!! so,I've been busy attending to all that parties on saturday-sunday while in weekday I also help around for my cousin wedding.

and after all that parties end, my relatives from singapore also visit us for 2 weeks and just come back last sunday.. in the end.. now i've caught runny nose, coughing and nose block... *sigh* It's very FUN and very TIRING! just when I thought I can get my beauty sleep.. Bryan's decided to wake up in the middle of the night for 3 days in row and refuse to sleep again for 2-3 hours!! so, he's wake up around 1am until 3am-4am and sleep again until his normal wake up time which is around 7am and during that awake time his eyes is wide open and fully charged! so, sicked mommy also can't sleep! HUAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....

sleepy and tired mommy hopes that it just part of growing up that will end soon TONIGHT!!

crawling

I know it's bit late since most of babies can master it less that one year old but I'm happy to annouce that Bryan's finally standing up by himself in his crib using his own knee 2 days ago (I used to help him stand up) yesterday, he's officially crawling using his knee and today he can sit by himself from lying position.

Jaya and I are guessing how long it gonna takes for Bryan from this step to walking but we're so happy that he's finally did it, well done son!!

On your first birthday..

Dear Bryan...

It's been a year since I first held you in my arms, within a year I witness so many of your first milestones, your first cry,your first smile,your first laugh,your first sound,first time you called us "papa" "mama" in one day, first time you hold up your head and flip over,your first time jabs,your first solid time, your first time overseas vacation, and others first of everything that i could not mention here one by one cause it'll take lots of space.

Mommy must said that it's been not very easy year for both of us.. as first time mother, mommy must learn everything from scratch.. listening and understanding you whether you need milk or comfort, try the best to give you only my breast milk for 6 months, which mommy failed cause your daddy must hospitalized cause of dengue and mommy must stay over to watch him when you're 5 months old, there's also been days when daddy must go to work feeling bit sleepy cause you keep waking everynights and refuse to go sleep again and other lots of struggle, tears and countless of uneasy day, but they are nothing compared to what you brought to our lives.

few years from now, you'll no longer dependent to us.. and mommy maybe not the one anymore, the one that you'll always looking for comfort and secure like now days, but deep inside our hearts.. you'll always be our baby and you can always looking for mommy for anythings cause I'm your mother, the one who'll always love you unconditionally, but before that time comes.. mommy and daddy are looking forward to enjoy countless beautiful years with you, to witness and to guide you become a great gentleman. let's grow up together son, you'll help us to become better parent everyday tough we're can never be perfect, but we'll always keep our best.

some people maybe can comment about your flaws but no matter what happen you're still our son, the one that mommy carried along for 9 months and 18 hours struggle between life and death to pop you out to this world,
we'll always love you son...and feel very blessed to have you in our life since you are the one who makes mommy and daddy life become so complete and perfect.

Have a blessed 1st birthday son...happy birthday!

Hugs and kisses,

Daddy & Mommy

Almost a year progress

Bryan's almost a year now in few days and he's making lot of progress in his motorik development .
he can waving with cute style like a lucky cat (it's often find in restaurant to bring more customer to come), he know where's his head when we ask it, clapping hand, make "mata genit", shake hand,do hi-5, his vocabulary also increase he can say "mamam" referring for eat, "mama" with a spoil sound when he needs my help, "apa" ("what") but i'm still not sure he's really understand what its mean but he's mumbling it lots, "mbak" for calling his nanny, "yeye" reffering to my father in law, he's also can point his hand in oder to want something.

He also can cruise in his box or table, he can step foward when we walk him on floor but his balance still not very good, in emotional behaviour he's often crying as a weapon if I don't give him what he wants but I'll ingore him until he's tired and stop crying, I don't want him to grown up become a spoil boy and for dicipline him, I often slap my hands, showing my "mad face" and said "NO" if he wants to do something that not allowed, so far he's understand it and don't try to repeat it.

he's sleep 2 times for nap, sometimes he can sleep 2 hours on each nap (nap time around 9.00-9.30 until lunch time 11.00-11.30 and 14.00 until 16.00) and his sleep time is about 19.00 until 06.30-07.00 in the morning, his take 160cc of milk and drink about 800-850cc/daily, he eat 3 times (cereal with banana in the morning, porridge twice for lunch and dinner)

eventhough he can cruise very well..he still can't crawling using his knee and because he can't using his knee, he also can't sit by him self from lying position and he's also still need my help to stand (he can stand by himself if there's a table or low cabinet so he can hold into it to up his body)

maybe now his development progress is a bit slow but I'm sure he'll amaze me in the next few months for his amazing progress.

Bryan's 1st birthday party

We're throwing an early birthday party for bryan's since his birthday is on Thursday, 4th and on 7th december, my cousin will be married and I'll be busy helping around so there's no time for bryan's party. the party is held on Saturday,22 November 2008 at Hawaii Vegetarian Restaurant,Muara Karang, why I choose Vegetarian restaurant? well, Jaya and I think its good for him to have a first birthday party without killing animal beside it's healtier and also have a good tatse too ;)

I've invited 80 people since the restaurant take a minimum order for 100 people, party decorations and goodie bag are made by bryan's kuku while I ordered thomas and friends birthday cake from dapurvita, the cake decoration is same with bryan's invitation, I've choose thomas and friends theme for his first birthday party.

Too bad Bryan's is already sleepy when it comes to a candle blowing so I didn't get a good picture of him blowing a candle.

swap and meet die cast market

We're going to swap and meet collection cars market at Gelora Bung Karno,Senayan today, it's a swap and meet for daddy hobbies,he collect miniature cars since we're dating 11 years ago,so i've got familiar with this model cars collection, and bryan's soon will get infected too and join the club with his daddy and yeye hunting for a new collection, just like today..

it's a market for collector to sell or swap it held every first sunday and third sunday of the month, all the collection is show in their car baggage, so daddy is hunting for his tomica collection and bought few of them there, while bryan's enjoy the market and sit nicely in his stroller.
