En. Abam @ 6 months

a happy baby

lama lak tak update. aku ada urusan di penang & perlis last week. bawak adam, mak mertua & adik ipar ikut balik sana skali. 1st time bawak adam jalan jauh ;D

adam celebrated his 6th month birthday in penang last monday. this is the first time we brought him back to my kampung and also jumpa nenek (my grandma) for the first time ever! dah 6 bulan budak kenit tu baru ada rezeki bawak dia ke sana. awal2 dulu kitorg takleh balik penang lagi disebabkan oleh perkara yang tak dapat dielakkan.

here are his milestones. as usual, in point form. eheheh..:

1. adam giggles macam toddler. mengekek2 sampai aku macam tak pecaya budak kecit ni leh gelak camtu. eheheh..
2. berat dah 7kg+. exact aku tatau lak baper sebab dah lama tak timbang. panjang lagilah tatau..next injection masa dia umur setahun. setengah tahun lagi kena tunggu...
3. senang tido sendiri. letak la kat mana pon, bila dia dah kantoks, lena la dia. mcm tau2 jer ummi dia dah tak larat nak dukung, buai2 bagi tido ;p kalau letak dalam carseat lagilah senang dia tido. siap ternganga tu. besh sungguh dapat tido yerr....
4. makin kerap minum susu. masa pegi penang & perlis aritu dia start minum 2 jam setengah skali. biasanya 3-4 jam skali. pastu memang akan habis 4-6oz. semangat kesukanan sungguh ini budak motak..
5. makin kerap bergolek. siap angkat2 montot lak tu. cepat2 merangkak yer adam...
6. suka makan pisang (macam ummi dia gak ;p)
7. suka senyum. dengan sesaper pon bleh. harap2 berkekalan...
8. satu habit dia yang aku pasan sejak kecit - suka letak tangan atas dahi (macam tarian asereje tu) masa minum susu & masa isap pacifier nak tido. dia start habit ni masa umur 2 bulan camtu. mak mertua aku cakap 'haaa..dia dah tabik, nak tido la tu'..macam2 peel babies ni kan?

err..tu jer kot yang aku observe. btw petang jumaat nanti mak mertua aku akan hantar adam balik ke umah aku - for good!. yippiieeee!!! bonda memang menantikan kepulangan anakanda. hehh..

sempena kepulangan anakandaku yang masyam itu, aku ngan bobo semalam berkobar-kobar pi soping barang2 dapo kat giant. bukan untuk aku masak (aku dah lama pencen masak, minum shake Herbalife jer. ahahaha...) tapi untuk stok makanan adam. almaklumla budak kecit tu dah stat makan..aku bersemangat waja la nak buat sendiri food dia. baru ni bobo beli nestle stage 1 beras dalam tin biru tu. dia tak suka! so aku pon beli la barang2 ni untuk buat food dia:

1. beras siam 1kg (gagah nak beras yang elok gak. mak nyer makan beras yang ada 15% hancur tu ;p)
2. sweet potato 2 ketui (takleh banyak2 kang kesedapan mak dia lak yang makan lebih)
3. apples (1 pack ada dalam 6-7 biji)
4. carrot (1 pack ada 3-4 batang)

isk, macam2 la pulak yang kitorg beli yer. xper2, anak nyer pasal akan ku rajin2kan diri ini memasak. buat puree jer ponnn...sibaik ada satu lagi blender yang tak penah digunakan. leh asingkan dengan blender untuk cili2 tu (eleh, tadi kata dah pencen masak ;p)

kat R&R

Fenin

i'm contemplating to buy one of this chair/seat as my baby boy has started weaning. fenin dok fikir which one is better.. the ikea's high chair is more affordable (not more than rm60), sturdy (i think) and safe coz it has straps. and it can be used for long term too depending on baby's size. en. abam is not a chubby baby so he can use it for a few years kot..probably until 1 or 2 years old. but he couldn't sit still yet. asik tumbang ke tepi. hehe...so i wonder he can sit on the high chair or not..

ikea's high chair

another one is the bumbo seat which is made especially for babies. even couldn't-sit-still babies can use the seat. the seat is quite pricey (rm199.90) before less. heheh...it's sturdy too but i read somewhere that active babies can fall from the seat. so supervision is needed. it has a variety of colours! so comel la that lilac and pink ones but my baby is a boy ;p

hmm..what else huh? ouh, the seat is quite small. if en. abam's peha and montot is 'developing well' (ehehe), for sure this thing will end up in the store in no time. not really a bargain for long term use lah.

bumbo seat

i need to make up my mind before my 'BIG MOVE' next month. heheh...

Game Over

yep..kris allen won the American Idol Season 8 today. rezeki dia kan..but i did hope adam lambert will win the title coz he's so talented! he has undoubtly the best vocal range ever! tak penah terkucils. unlike mr allen, nyanyi lagu 'No Boundaries' pon leh terkucils tho it's their victory song. i didn't like the song either. past seasons victory songs are much better especially 'A Moment Like This' by Kelly Clarkson. and there's several more yang sedaplah.

people say mr lambert is an openly gay. but when people asked him about his personal life, he simply said 'i know who i am'. so betulla kan allegation tu. go figure..hehe..sukati jer aku buat conclusion. tak kisahla deknon..i know you'll be successful in your career be it singing or theatricals. macam kes daughtry dulu la. he won the 4th place but today? he has the most sold albums worldwide (ntah baper juta tah), platinum awards and of course millions of fans (based on the sold albums la).

however, inside my small heart (hati kecikku) hehe...i still hope for danny vs. adam in the finale. and i wish danny wins! aku memang soka soulful voice. i read somewhere that he wants to do soulful album. baguih2...

well..i'm relieved the 'game' is over now...takderla aku tergocoh2 (eh, is there such word?) nak balik cepat tiap2 hari rabu & khamis. eheheh...other than AI, AF and OIAM pon dah abis. Mentor aku tak tengok so let me live peacefully again...

En. Abam's First Food

en. abam is already 5 month & 4 weeks old this week. next week he'll be 6 month old already! iskk..my big boy is growing so fast..tak lama lagi ada gopren, tunang, kawin..iskk..melalut sudah!

i decided to start feeding him solid food when he's 6 month old. but i think it's ok to gradually introduce him to food right now. some people even started to wean their babies just after they're 4 month old. kira aku lambat gakla..btw, tak lama dah pon nak masuk 6 bulan kan..

i read in forbaby website on the signs that our babies may be ready for solids. i can see that adam is totally ready! dia asik terliur tengok orang makan, his tongue reflex is better (dah tak muak2), asik chew on his hands and toys and milk is often not enough ;p

this is what i gave him, Heinz Pureed Pumpkin & Sweetcorn.

actually i bought this a month ago but later i decided to wait..and wait..and tadaa! the time has arrived!

en. abam is ready for feeding time. big bip to the rescue!

bobo prepared his puree in the bowl. wah..bowl and spoon pon baru rasmi tau..sebelah buh air, sebelah buh puree. for the 1st attempt, we just tried to feed him 1 tablespoon. abis u ols...mulut dia macam burung! muncung2 sua kat sudu. eheheh...pastu tangan asik nak capai spoon dia. hepp!

nyum...nyummm...daddy tengah suapkan adam

after the 1st trial, alhamdulillah he loved it! tak rogi uit ummi beli. heheh...so we added another 1 1/2 tablespoon of the puree into the bowl. abis lagi..dah..dah..we'll give you some more later, k? ni baru kelas introduction to food. heheh...

look at his 'content' face! cheeky & comot boy!

New Habit

penat! aku baru balik dari outstesen ke ganu kite. nanti citer ;p

sejak ada anak ni aku ada satu habit baru - watching documentaries about babies. tak kisahla pasal delivery ker, in the womb ker, development ker..semua aku sokaaa...heheh...masa mother's day aritu ada documentary pasal In the Womb Multiples & Science of Babies. semua aku khatam! hehee...


bila aku tengok orang tengah deliver pon aku rasa terharu sangat2. it's such a miracle! Allah jadikan orang pompuan ni lembut, tapi bila nak deliver ntah mana datang kekuatan tu...macam aku takder rezeki nak bersalin normal, so aku memang salute kat orang yang bersalin normal ni..memang korang kuat!


berbalik kepada habit aku tadi ;p tadi aku tengok documentary pasal babies in the womb kat Discovery channel. barulah aku tau apa yang trigger pengeluaran benih lelaki...researcher kat France yang buat research pasal ni. it all starts from the brain yer..bukan terus menerus dari 'kilang pembuatan' ;p masa blajar biologi kat skolah kita tak blajar pon pasal mende2 ni tau.

lewat petang tadi aku tengok documentary Deliver Me lak. ada 3 orang nak bersalin. sorang bersalin normal, 1st baby. 2 orang lagi kena c-sect. sorang sebab diabetes, sorang sebab baby besar (9lbs kot). tengok citer tu tingat lak masa aku nak bersalin dulu...memang experience yang tak boleh dibeli di mana2..sangat berharga!

btw aku suka gak tengok animal babies. aritu tengok In the Womb baby kangaroo, emperor penguin, tebuan & sharks. really fascinating!

pendek kata, apa2 citer pasal babies semua aku suka lah! ;D

p/s: suka hafiz menang AF7 ;D

Cozy Corner

this is the hotel room that i mentioned before in the previous entry. kat seri pacific. nampak cozy sangat, kan? memang cozy pon..aku duk sorang2 lak tu..i loike... ;D btw, tepi curtain tu lemari dia simpan iron & ironing board. sibaik aku tak kol hoskiping mintak mende2 tu. kalau tak nampak sangat kejakunan aku di situ. kan besanyer orang simpan dalam wardrobe. ni tepi tingkap lak. huhuu...

with flat screen tv that has Astro Ria channel. jarang2 sekali hotel amek channel ni, kan? tapi MTV ker Channel V ilek lak. malam2 aku on radio era kat tv tu ler teman aku tido (penakut gak). masa aku dok hotel kat kundasang dulu aku bukak Disney Channel. bagi katun tengok aku tido sampai ke pagi. ahahha...

the bathroom (bath tub & toilet bowl) is separated with the shower room. tapi pintu shower room dia sket 18sx la...renggang gitu. bahya untuk kanak2. heheh...

Belated Mother's Day celebration

yummehhh....

last nite me and bobo went to have our dinner cum belated mother's day celebration at Subway IOI Mall. he insisted to treat me properly. almaklumla 1st time celebrate as a mommy..ngeee...he suggested Mohd Chan. again?? iskk..dah jangkit dengan abah dah bobo nih..i said no..i want something else lah..

dan2 tu jugak aku tetiba tingin nak makan healthy food macam sandwiches. on diet la katakan...kunun! so we all punyalah round cari Subway ni. tup2 kat seblah luar IOI rupanya. ponek kami berkawat. but it was worth it! memang superb la sandwiches dia. i had 6 inches long parmesan & oregano bread with steak & cheese. bobo had 1 foot long honey & oat bread with italian B.M.T. 1 foot! hamek ko..jenuh dia gonyeh (bahasa utara for kunyah ;p) nak abiskan. eheheh...dia cakap menyesal amek 1 foot long. kenyang sampai arini. eless...we'll see....

our dinner yang menggambarkan saiz perut masing2..hua3...

malam ahad tu sebenarnya bobo dah tapaukan aku set nasik ayam penyet wong solo. aritu dia cakap wong solo tu kira spesel sempena mother's day la. alih2 nak celebrate dating berdua2an lak malam semalam..ehehhe...apa2 lah..janji ahkak leh makan sodap2. yay!
