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.

we don't go to mall since there's a boom issue related to death execution of the bali boomers within this week, so after having a nice dinner at korea restaurant in kelapa gading, we're going home ;)

Influenza

Bryan's caught his first time flue since few days ago, he's sneezing lots and his nose block, actually when he's down for fever, his doctor already said that he's show a symptom of influenza since his throat has infection and fever,so the doctor already gave me preventive medicine just in case that it turns out to be influenza.

luckly that his appetite still good, he's also sitll very active little boy,he's sleep well and longer for his recovery, no wailing or crying in the middle of the night even his nose block. :)

Finding the nanny

We're back from holiday last sunday and found out that our nanny is not coming back again to work with us, so I've decided to sleep over in my mom house for few days and it happens that searching for a new nanny it's not so easy like it looks like, I've called almost 50 governess and nanny agent since last monday and all of them said out of stock and told me to wait few days! gosh! I've decided not to hire a experience nanny since I'll only need her around to look after Bryan while I'm taking bath or cooking and doing the laundry and cleaning.

so..when i think I'll wait for next week for start looking again, one of agent call me, she said that there's stock for nanny but she's still don't have experience at all since she just came to Jakarta for 2 weeks and just finish 1 week first education as nanny, VIOLA! that's exactly what I'm looking for! the best part is.. her basic salary is also come in good price, half price from my former nanny! and they can drop her to my house so i don't need to pick her up in agent, if i think she's fulfill my criteria after interview, she can directly working and if i think she's can't, i just need to pay the transport fee!

and it appears that she's fulfill my first criteria, she want to help around with house cleaning (most experince nanny don't want to do houseworking and only want to take care baby), she don't have handphone (which is good otherwise she'll busy like bee just like my former one) and still very innocent since it's her first time to jakarta ;)
