Things Her Mummy Would Like You To Know About Her Royal Cuteness (HRC) Nadyn J., 3 months and 10 days

1. Also widely known as Bonyok @ Bon Bon to her adoring public, when royal honorific is not in use, and this is why:-


Hi, I am Bonyok. I like looking at the camera.

2. Her genetic heritage is still somewhat in dispute, although her paternal side seems to be winning the war:-


Daddy and Mini-Daddy @ Why Are Mummy's Genes So Weak?!

3. Current abilities include (but not limited to!) rolling over back-to-front (but not front-to-back, alas!) and ruling over the world.

4. Glossary of important words:-
Ngeng
- Please Mummy, can you breast-feed me now?
and its variations the appealing Ngeng-g-g (Oh Mummy, why is it taking you so loooong?) and NGEEEEEEENNNGGGG!!! (Damnit Mummy, I did ask you nicely, now suffer my wrath!!!)

Ging! (usually uttered when in prone position whilst being cooed over by adoring public)
- I am bored of lying down and would like you to carry me around as if I were sitting on a throne and surveying my domain please
and its variations Ging-g-g-g (Note: The suffix 'g-g-g-g' can be taken to mean 'please pretty please' in this case, 'Please pretty please carry me etc etc) and GINGGG!!! (to be presented as a loud and unexpected explosion of baby wrath)


Ging-ing in action

Ayeeeerr
- Enough of this breastfeeding malarkey give me my bottle of (horribly expensive) formula!

Gu-gu (to be said in very appealing manner with batting of eyelashes if necessary)
- Auntie Sha, let's play Kung-Fu Fighting! (Ed's Note: No, I do not encourage violence, this game simply entails Nadyn J batting my sister's hands in Kung-Fu fashion whilst sister sings chorus from Kung-Fu Fighting. The lengths that adoring adults will go to to please babies are limitless. Parents must learn to exploit this)

Nggh-nggh-ACK!!!! (to be said forcefully whilst talking to Atok, normally as a form of complaint)
- I can't believe Mummy's still not back from that Evil Place. Do you know how long I've gone without my Ngeng?! I'm writing to the papers about this!!!
and its numerous variations, most notably Gack-unggh-ungggh and Urgghhh-urghhh-GRACK!!!

5. Current addictions are her fist (no pictorial evidence, as yet) and MTV, Oprah and telenovelas (Ed's Note: The horror!)
Mummy, please let me watch MTV, please pretty please?

6. Favourite books (to be read and consumed) to get her gurgling include Dr. Seuss's ABC, The Foot Book, Oh The Thinks You Can Think (especially this particular page with a race on a horse with a goldfish. Erm, you just have to read it to find out), and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. Oh, and also her flashcard with the elephant picture. Go figure.

and last, but definitely not least (for now)...

7. She has slept for 9 hours straight not one, but TWO nights in a row! We have done somersaults in thanks and appreciation. (Cue prolonged wood-touching session)


Better than TV, I tell ya!
