Penguin RushEnggerk...
Enggerk - no, this is NOT a Malay word, or a word of some foreign language that I've just learned... I mean, not quite, hehee. This is a Baby word, uttered by our little buddy - Ikhwan.
I have recently discovered the meaning of one of the words used by our baby. Me and wife have noted that everytime he said Enggerk, a few seconds later, he would vomit (which usually happens after he was fed). This warning by him, is especially helpful for us so that we can place a towel underneath his chin in advanced or raise him up from his mattress and continue making him burp, hoping that the Enggerk can be prevented.
And the funny thing is, if he suddenly vomits before he could give us any warning, he would say it with a different intonation and with such a rather sad expression (well, you know how painful sometimes vomiting can be), as though trying to gain our sympathy (of course he is, right? afterall, he's just a baby).
Therefore, we have concluded that Enggerk means either "Ikhwan nak muntah ni" (I'm about to vomit) or "Ikhwan dah muntah" (I have vomited), where for the latter case, Ikhwan's sad face with pouting lips would surely melt our hearts everytime, heeheehee...
One other thing about Ikhwan is that he's a very active baby boy. His skeletal structures are strong (including his head bones); he's quite bigger (NOT fatter) than some other babies of his age (yes, we have made comparisons) and if he decides to turn up his volume, even my hi fi speakers can't beat that high pitch voice (not to mention how our patience is being tested). But then, despite being a little hero, he's quite cuddly and cheeky too. Like for example, he sometimes coughs, but not genuinely, more like pretend coughs. After a few of such coughs, he would turn his head a few times to the right and left, before he smiles at us, so cheekily. If only we could just squeeze and chew on those cute cheeks whenever he's being cheeky haha...
When Ikhwan is with us, he's so talkative and friendly, showing his cute smiles and laughters. Not only uttering baby words, he even tries to imitate our words or 'noises' sometimes, like whenever I make the sounds of a cat, a donkey or a cock. The other day, there was a distinct sound of the letter 'k' coming out of his mouth, as he tried to follow me crowing "kookoookoooookoooooo".
To us, Ikhwan is a smart little fella. But we noticed that when in the company of strangers, like when friends drop by or there are other families and relatives around, he's a much quiter person and very much reserved, with only occasional smiles. I mean, every parents would want other people to see (or at least notice) how smart, active and friendly their child is. But then, I guess Ikhwan WILL grow up and WILL learn people skills when the time is right. I mean what do I expect, he just turned 3 months old, right? :-o
