happy birthday to me

My name is Azam Zikry. Yes I know how handsome my name sound like, wait
until you see my face!

Mommy said that I'll turn one tomorrow. I don't know what does that
mean, guess it means one more tooth is coming out. Or could it mean that
I have more things to eat other than carrot + chicken porridge!

Mommy said turning one is such a big event. I can eat fish by the time
I'm one. The ever handsome Dr. Shanjay has been telling mommy to hold on
feeding me fish until I turn one or else my eczema will be worse. I
don't what's that too, but I guess it got something to do with the itchy
spots I have underneath my chin, my knee and my ankle if mommy stop
applying that sticky Eucerin! Mommy please don't forget to apply that
Eucerin, I know I look uneasy everytime you apply that on me but I am
MUCH MORE uneasy when the itchiness start kicking in!

However, mommy has been cuckoo these days. She has been singing "Happy
Birthday To You" for the last four days! She made daddy sang that too. I
don't know what that means either but the song did made me happy. It
feels so personal compared to the Twinkle-Twinkle Little Star, Old
MacDonald's or Rock-a-Bye Baby. Mommy said my eyes sparkle everytime I
heard the song sung. I clapped at the end of the song (each time she
sang to me) and grin so wide that my lips can be extended up to my ears.
Now she asked me to practice blowing candle at the end of the song. It
goes like this, make an O out of your lips, take deep breath and let the
air out heavily!! I don't know how to do that but I guess it will make
the small fire at the tip of the candle go away. Then I'll just use my
hand tomorrow to shoosh the fire away. Just kiddin! (or else I'd love to
see them scrreaaam when I do that! then I can easily put up my crying
act tomorrow to get that big hugs and kisses)

Daddy just weigh me yesterday and he said that I still weigh the same
8.5 kg. Daddy looked worried, turning one and still weigh the same for
the past two months might not look good for him. But hey daddy, I've
used all the calories to walk like a robot and crawl like spider when
mommy wanna tickle me! Later, I'll use more calories to run up and down
the staircase. Don't you worry, Daddy, I'll be just fine. You should be
worrying since you have put up some more kgs at a much faster rate these
few weeks!

Lemme tell me about the staircase over my house. It is made of wood, it
made sound everytime I patted my little palms (they are not so little
anymore, excuse me). I love the sound so much and I enjoy making them
even more. Sometimes the staircase is there, sometimes it's not, I don't
know how it happened, it just didn't appear to be there. Weird, isn't
it? The other day I heard mommy asked daddy to remove the chairs
blocking the staircase so that he can move in between the chairs. I
guess the chairs are the two big things which took the view of the first
step of the staircase. Yesterday, when they got busy mopping the floor
(after all the hard work I've done swiping the dust with my palms and
putting them into my mouth!), the chairs were somehow removed and
taa-daa.. the staircase was wide open for me to climb. When I was about
to fnished the 12th step, I heard mommy shouted my name, looking for me.
Here I am mommy, waved myself with one hand and one more palm on the
wooden step. (the kinda triangular one that MakSu Mariah had twice fell
from) She came running and swooped me out, giving me a big hug and few
kisses planted on my cheek! I 'd just love that!

Anyway, I'm sure the two big chairs won't be there anymore and I am free
to climb the stair whenever I can tomorrow. Mommy and Daddy are having
Kak Endon's family coming over for dinner tomororw and they'll surely
need the chairs! I love Kak Endon and the whole family, they take VERY
VERY good care of me whenever mommy and daddy go to work. The kakaks and
abang love playing with me. I heard Tuk and Tuk Wan will come over too.
And I heard Daddy talked to Mommy about getting a cake on the way back
home. I guess a cake is something for me to splash splash my little
palms on, and smashed my face and so-little-hair on my heads with while
they sing that so special Birthday song!

I just can't wait for tomorrow, where I'll turn one, whatever it means!
