two and a quarter

Those two refers to who else : Ilhan Yasmin and Khairin Masyitah.

And the quarter refers to somebody tiny inside me (always hoping and eager to call 'he' ! ).

Ilhan will be 3 this year. But she's a small framed girl. She looks like a 1 and a half year baby. She starts walking when she was 9 1/2 month, and since then she loose her appetite in food. She looooooovees to play, run, jump, 'berkube' (quoting hubby), swims (not swim lah.. she love to play with water.. suka anything about the water). When it is lunch/dinner time, she would only swallow 5-6 spoons. And she'd goes , "kakak dah kenyang..", will start with her activities back. She'll return back to the kitchen half an hour later, asking for bread or ice cream or cookies... She can 'draw' now. She'll draw a big round, and fill it with colours.. "bulat! " she said. She use to love reading, but with the limitation of books that i've bought for her, she prefers the newspaper, which will then turned to sampah.. Ilhan has been sleeping in her own room since we have Khairin Masyitah around. We put a single bed in her room, with lots and lots of cartoons sticker to make to room looks like kindergarden, with striking green curtain and pink comforter for her. She has never fall down from the bed, despite the very cautious concern from her tuk ma. Ilhan will wake up when i do my subuh prayer, to ask for milk; she sleep so soundly that she won't wake up at night. This year i hope she can be free from the diapers, so let's start with toilet training !

Khairin Masyitah however is a plump baby ! She looooves to eat, she would come to anyone with food. I enjoy cooking for her, as she'll finish up the whole plate of 'bubur nasi' and a cup of plain water at every lunch/dinner time. Masyitah started to walked when she was 10 month old. She's a healthy 11 months baby who can almost run and jump now. Funny when she could not squeez in a shirt bought my her tuk ma, but when we put it on to her kakak, it fits her right ! Masyitah is a quite girl, compared to her sister, but she has eyes on things. She would quietly went to the DVD cabinet and messed up all the DVDs, the other day while we watched tv she took out all my kitchen plastic ware. We have always thought of putting her on diet, but when we think about it again, well, as long as she's healthy and happy let her eat. And she has already got her first 2 teeth, so she can at least chew a bit now !

The other quarter is still very tiny. I always hope that i'll call him 'he'. I do not want to decide a name yet, its too early but i will find a boy's name. I am ok if Allah grant me with another girl, they'd make a crowd and can always have a shoulder to cry on. I just would be very much delighted if Allah gives me a boy. I feel complete. I always find that i am carrying a boy, or maybe because i hope so much to get a boy. I feel healthy, less nausea, less backpain, and less interest in buying and dressing up. Please let it be a boy. :)

Wait till July. They'll be 3 !!!
