Penguin RushWalk the talk.. walk and talk...walk and laugh...walk and run...walk while looking somewhere else...
True, Ikhwan started walking rather late. But we are proud of him nonetheless. This was only one of his shortcomings, which could (or could not) have something to do with genetic, since both his parents started walking late too. Surely, as a human being and as he grows up, he will have and discover other flaws. As long as hopefully, none of those flaws would impede him from becoming a soleh Muslim; an obedient child; a smart, intelligent, caring and responsible person etc etc.. you know all those things that any parents with a sound mind would want their children to become.
Other than his walking development, in other areas, he develops normally, if not quite fast, compared to other kids of his age. He already has a full set of teeth, he knew how to sip his drinks using straws since only a few months' old, and he's always full of energy and with such intensity whenever he crawls as shown in this video clip which was taken at my folks' house!
I'd say that his crawls are equivalent to walking and running, while his walks are equivalent to.....ermmm... driving a car. Why? Because on the first three days after he started walking, he already tried running a bit (like speeding while on the road), walking with his eyes wondering about instead of looking straight (ok, this could be equivalent to a hazardous driving hehe..), encircling us (like making a 6 o'clock turn at a roundabout) and walking for a distance, then making a U-turn (I mean, literally, the way he turned his body around was like making a U-turn). As though wanting to catch up, not a day is missed without him walking (because I read there are babies who after discovering their ability to walk, may skip some days without wanting to walk at all).
He also discoverd on his own, that instead of struggling to stand up from his sitting position, he can use the palms of his hands to push himself up... Now, he's learning to throw some rubber balls while standing up, although at the moment, we try to discourage him from doing so frequently, especially if he's looking rather tired and unstable.
My parents own a cat (of American Shorthair breed), bought by my sis back when she was in the States. I mentioned about him quite a number of times before in this blog. The cat goes by the name Sky. The thing about Sky is that he gets easily intimidated by strangers, especially noisy and active small kids. Well, you can pretty much guess how Sky would react to my son! In this video, my son was looking so curiously and intently at Sky who was having his meal. The 'peeking' made Sky rather restless of course, but a cat's gotta eat when a cat's gotta eat right? :))
In this final video of today, we really enjoyed his laughter and would like to share that moment here... (I think he got the idea to laugh that way, probably from the way I peek-a-boo at him). As seen here, he was standing by his car which was a birthday present from my parents-in-law.

It's ok if Ikhwan lambat jalan. My second boy also lambat jalan, well compared to his older sister lah. His sister memang cepat jalan; at 11 months. I think it's got to do with the gender kot, kan? Hhmm.. what do you think
Yes... true, usually boys, they start walking a bit late. Yep, we told ourselves nothing to worry about coz his other developments have been splendid, despite many people were worried why hadn't he walked.
Well, what's new? After this, he can expect people asking him "when are u going to have a girlfriend?" "when u plan to get married?" "when are you going to have a child?" "when can we see the second baby?" etc etc... you know the usual worries expressed by families and relatives, hahahaha..
Mostly on lambat nak dpt adek...doesnt matter boy or gal, if they aint "expecting" they take time to walk. And also if they face less challenges from those peers their age or older kids.
Bagus la tu. Lpas ni kena la kejar dia plak mana2...
Not sure about facing less challenges there Manal, the other two kids at his sitter's house are his age...and he's the hero there, hehehe.
After this, there'll be some chasing around? Most probably. But right now, we are rather worried when he chases after us, or he thought we chase him, since there's still so much instability in the world... ops sori, what am I babbling about, I mean he's still unstable somtimes :))
Walk the line (johnny cash), dude.
