Lila at 5 months old

She's the rolling master now. She can stop and balance herself in between rolling too. She rests her head on her hand sometimes when she's on her tummy as you can see in the video. Her favourite song of all time at the moment is "Bangun Tidur" (I sang that in video, don't puke blood, it's a warning :p).

The lyric goes:
Bangun tidur ku terus mandi
Tidak lupa menggosok gigi
Habis mandi ku tolong ibu
Membersihkan tempat tidurku

Loose translation to English by me:
Waking up then I take a shower
Not forgetting to brush my teeth
After shower I help mommy
Tidy up my bed

Nothing special about the song, right? Not for Lila. Everytime she hears that song, she will smile. It's a 100% probability. She can go from high-pitched crying to all smiles just by hearing that song. It's the ONLY song that would work in severe crying situations. Hence if you hear me singing that song over and over, it's not because I'm so fond of that song. No. It's the only way to keep her from crying when we're still in the car and she wants milk.

Aga would insert appropriate rapping after each line (yes, rapping - taught by my dad. Yes, my dad! Rapping! >.<):
Bangun tidur ku terus mandi - pakai sabun
Tidak lupa menggosok gigi - pakai odol
Habis mandi ku tolong ibu - mommy!!! (this one he did himself)
Membersihkan tempat tidurku - bekas ompol!

Which means:
Waking up then I take a shower - using soap
Not forgetting to brush my teeth - using toothpaste
After shower I help mommy - (ibu = mommy; so he knows - he calls me 'mommy', not 'ibu')
Tidy up my bed - smell the pee!

I just introduced solid to her at 5 months and 1 week, because:
1. She started to wake up 3 times in the night. This is from not waking up at all for the last 4 months, so I'm quite annoyed. For some reason although it's only 1 spoon of baby cereal a day, she seemed to be settled for a couple of nights now, so that seemed to fix the problem.
2. The doctor suggested to start solid at 5 months.
3. She has this munching action nowadays even when she's not hungry. It's one of the cutest thing, and probably her tooth is coming out soon? (I'm excited).

The house is full of flu bug at the moment. Agastya got it first, then spread it to me. I hope it stops with me. I hate having flu since my nose will be stuffed, my throat will hurt like hell, and I can't sleep at night (think what Aga must feel!), and I can't take medicine because I'm still breastfeeding!! I hope it goes away soon. *ha-choo*

Thanks for those who congratulate me on my birthday be it by sms, instant messenger or email. Aga did too.
[And now he occasionally would sing:
Hapi baday to you...
Hapi baday to you...
Hapi baday to Aga
Hapi baday to you.. horrayyy!!!
*while holding one of his mega blocks*]

I had crayfish noodle (expensive thing, but my god it was good. Excellento. Thanks Nagi *smooch*), Sioe came and ate dinner with me. She brought cake with her. Yum. Thanks Sioe :D Oh, she got hooked with the crayfish noodle, she decided she MUST take her parents with her to have some! In fact, right now, yes, she's hunting crayfish noodle place. Ha ha.

Nagi has stopped his Indonesian class, to which his reason was "Saya sudah ahli asli" Ha ha. Nuff said!

I know you all are just interested to see the video. Here it is. Enjoy.
