Sweet nothings...

Umaira: Do you love me Mama?

Mama: Of course I do baby! Lots till tiny bits and pieces!

Umaira: Yay! I love you too Mama!

The Immobile Housewife

It is truly frustrating I tell you! Everything that involves going out will have to wait for Abah. N he is sooo busy nowadays. Yep I have no licence so I am immobile here in Kuantan! Help!


It feels like being locked up

I can live without it in Singapore, coz everywhere is within reach by bus or MRT. But not here, I desperately need a LICENCE! Car is already available as Abah has his own ride already.

Stakat utk pegi keje je katenye...yelah tuu

Several things that had to be done actually: - Sunat Umaira ( 4 mths already!)

Pity Baby!

- Open a new bank account..thinking CIMB.
- Surveying pre-schools (for my BIG project *excited!*)
and other lots of places I want to go like that LAFONIS shop, they sell pre-school toys and materials! or maybe a quick trip to KL coz there is so much going on there!

So ya..I NEED TO GET A LICENCE DESPERATELY.

A tip for shopping with babies and toddlers:

 

One and only...

Extremely important..

Make sure they are comfortable enough!

Enough food, enough sleep/rest, enough 'distractions'/'entertainment' eg. toys..

Discomfort will definitely cause cranky children..

and cranky = tantrums..

tantrums = edgy parents & completely stressful shopping!

Contest: sukasuki my baby giveaway

I simply love giveaways that are about children and pictures!

It gives the excitement of browsing through our hundreds of pictures, looking back and reminiscing the moment when the pictures were taken, choosing THE perfect picture that fits the regulations, and anticipating the moment of truth (whether we wins or not)! Not to mention the prizes await! 

But to me all contestants are winners because they deeply believe that theirs are a winning photo..just like mine..My daughter is always a WINNER in my heart.

So here's a giveaway that I'm joining.

Their only defects are that they are missing the 'Sleep' and 'Mute' buttons. Wldn't that be great?

Mama and Abah want to eat...press 'Sleep' button.

Yay it worked! Peaceful mealtime = Happy parents

Mama and Abah want to talk among ourselves...press 'Mute' button..

press...press...press...uh-oh...'Mute' button doesnt work! 

So on and on she goes...

But Mama and Abah love you both still!

Thank God for slings...

Kangaroo-carrying with a pupsik sling

Coz Mama can still do her work and still be with you!

Should we already start her on solids?

Umaira is already at 4 mths now and she has been exclusively breastfed, alhamdulillah. I had wanted to go on till she's 6 mths, but now Abah and I decided that maybe we should start her on solids already. Why? Let's check against the cues to look for when a baby is ready for solids:

•Head control. Your baby needs to be able to keep his head in a steady, upright position. Checked!

•Sitting well when supported. Even if he's not quite ready for a highchair, your baby needs to be able to sit upright to swallow well. Checked!

•Significant weight gain. Most babies are ready to eat solids when they've doubled their birth weight (or weigh about 15 pounds) and are at least 4 months old. 3.48 at birth, now 5++ Checked!

Chewing motions. Your baby's mouth and tongue develop in sync with his digestive system. To start solids, he should be able to move food to the back of his mouth and swallow. Chew almost anything that she puts in her mouth..Checked!

•Growing appetite. He seems hungry — even with eight to ten feedings of breast milk or formula a day. Super Checked!

•Curiosity about what you're eating. Super Duper Checked!


Hint..hint...Is that a curious-look enough everyone??
