... a little update ...

Assalamualaikum peeps,

Just a short entry to get myself awya from the real world~ (short kah banar ni?) Apart from my addiction to the apps 'DrawSomething' now... I have gone to another phase of my research addiction, i.e baby weaning. Nope, my son has not shown any significant signs of weaning. He's feeding intake is just about the same... so, my guess would be sudah he's like 7 months lah baru start ni. Just enough time for dearest Mama and Babah to prepare all the stuffs. We've no plans to put him into one of those bumbo chair pasalnya payah plg kami kan slouching and all... BUT we did manage to get him an IKEA Antilop high chair (a very good deal) at a family's garage sale. It was only a few months old... + tray aaaannnd it comes with the back support cushion. Now, who can resist such offer? Tray is detachable at least nanti once Baby.I is big enough to sit by the table with us.. that can easily be removed! :)

At least, other than his playstation (not the game ah), he can sit here as well when we're doing house chores~... :D :D The playstation, as I called it, is actually this...

We have not put him in a walker just yet but Baby.I really enjoyed his time on this one. Apart from rolling himself from one end to the other end of his playmat. Yes, people.. he rolls now!! Have to jaga-jaga especially during diaper change! Baby.I memang not the kind yang suka bertimang but we bought this just in case in the future we have a baby who does.. *lol* Save jua sikit tenaga menimang2 , no? 

Next Tuesday will be Baby.I's next appointment... no more jabs, cos he's completed all the Polios and DPTs dah~ But I am keen to ask them regarding the Rotavirus & Pneumococcal since it is not listed in the Yellow Card. Tempted to get them arah private clinic (although, now may be a little too late sudah) but would like to hear the doc's opinion regarding the matter. :) Asal appointment lupa saja due to iskiness menyukat2 badan and weighing our little one + was more concern on his eczema back then... so yea~ Reaaaally need to ask about it nanti. *must remember this time around*

I don't know, they say it's normal for a woman after giving birth to be slightly forgetful. I wonder if all the other mommies out there pun cematu? My case, even kunci kereta pun kadang2 I myself boleh lupa. Yth now, as per advised, I'm also taking supplement to prevent this from getting worst. Insya-Allah~ A good friend of mine introduced it to me. Apparently she's been taking them ever since that honey shop at Gadong Properties exist! Nyehh~~

 

Ingredients ada madu, kurma, zaffaron & kismis. Since I'm not a big fan of kismis, I hope consuming this helps. It's good for all ages but babies kena hati-hati sikit. Advisable to bagi toddlers lah.... 1-3 years of age. Depending on individuals lah yea... But yes, insya-Allah~ this will definitely help. :)

Until next time... xoxo~

.... 5 months

Assalamualaikum....

Early morning post... (well- scheduled ofcourse.. *hehe*)

Alhamdulillah, syukur... Baby.I is now 5 months old. How fast time flies... and I can still remember freshly in my mind every nanoseconds on the delivery process. Alhamdulillah~ He's a miracle indeed...

To date, Baby.I's development is more on his communication skills. He now can fuss and be annoyed as I picked his nose! *lol* Auuuuuuuu~ I think every kid does... kalau dulu inda ya peduli tu, now pandai  di tiarapkan badannya tarus. Have to really pin him down so that he inda move *lol* Fun thing to do nonetheless.. We can also tell when he's sleepy, tired, bored and the likes... veeeeerrrrry expressive ni this boy! Oh and sleepsuit(s) yg 3-6 mths.. sampit dh cos of his length. So now he's using 6-9 mths one. As of today that is...

Baby.I is a month away from starting solids (purees that is~). And, as all mothers do... I am super excited! Nervous too, cos takut Baby.I ada reactions to certain food. So the first few months on weaning will be purely plain rice bubur, veggies and fruit purees. I bought this book by Annabel Karmel (Hardcover) for just approx. BND36.00. Found out about the book from Babycenter.com and meliat arah websitenya, seems like myself pun kenyamanan meliat all the baby food!!!! (Sabar Mrs.A, sabar...~)

I have to prep myself with this new and upcoming adventure.... = shopping time!? (sakit th kepala Mr.A ni... sorry hubs~) Plan to go to Miri some time soon to check things out.. hehehe *iskiness* Oh, but before that..need to buatkan passport for Baby.I... another iskiness? Yes! But for the next two weeks, it's work and study time for me. A mandatory learning programme (on par with Master's but not Master's and it's part time...) for those in our field.... Alhamdulillah~ Wish me luck for the upcoming exam....

HAPPY FIVE MONTHS BABY.I, SEMOGA SENTIASA DIDALAM LINDUNGAN ALLAH S.W.T. Insya-Allah.... Mama and Babah will love you always! *MWAHS*

... full time

Assalamualaikum mommies....

Another episode of Baby.I's sensitive skin. Before it was just his cute cheeks, now we noticed his skin being oh-so-sensitive to insect bites (mosquitoes and ants) too! It started off with just a normal red bite bump but then worsens on to flaring up & scaly! Kalau arah kitani bah... memang for sure bergaru berabisly! And I mean- vigorously!! I've taken a few photos of it but belum I transfer to the laptop... hence, will update this entry once I do so.. :D

Starting this week, I've succeeded with trials of full time CD-ing for Baby.I. Last week was my 1st try out. Planned to actually not changing him in between his slumber but ended up changing him after 8hrs of night diapering. No leaks though, don't get me wrong hehehehe Mamanya ani saja yang beruri takut2 tambus... jadinya, as Baby.I woke up for his midnight feed.. I changed his CDs. *lol* But as of last night, he is fully clothed for night diapering as well. Alhamdulillah~ no leaks and no stinky smell.

Another milestone achieved!! ~

Apart from that, Alhamdulillah... Baby.I's development is emerging rather well (refer to this site). He's now 4mths and 3 weeks... soon kan masuk 5 months and another month to go insya-Allah for him to start weaning. He loves to be held on his feet and sometime(s) enjoys his tummy time. Time really flies THAT fast!!! ... Grow up well Baby.I, one day you'll make both Mama and Babah so proud of you... *Amin*
