IBRAHIM'S MILESTONE

Today Ibrahim is already 7 months and 5 days. So far alhamdulillah I can say that he's a very considerate baby, easy to take care of, and progressing very well physically and I hope I can say the same mentally (camane nak gauge, anyway Im reading this book 'How to Have a Smarter Baby' by Dr. Susan Ludington-Hoe and Susan K.Golant.) When I complete the book, I will share some useful tips on how to stimulate your babies to be smarter, happier and healthier. But so far I can tell that brain development starts as early as conception (my god hope i didnt stimulate him wrongly then). It's just that we have to work on his weight, he's just 7.65 kg ideally he should be 8 -9 kg now but his height his above average (that's what his Paedtrician saidlah) 71.5.But if he follows his dad, his dad was also scrawny as a baby, toddler until his uni days. The only thing he's a very clingy baby, he doesnt like to be alone, he likes company to play with, talk to and gomol with. If we go away for a while from him, he will start wailing. Love his voice. Merayu-rayu like that. He LOVES attention and so far he is a friendly baby even to strangers.

Ok Ibrahim's skills at 7 months

• He can drag objects towards himself
• Can transfer one object from one hand to the other
• Look at you when you call his name
• Maoeuvre himself around by using his arms and legs
• Being on his four and rocking himself back and forth (this action is so cute)
• He babbles longer, it's like he's sharing with you how his day was, whether he like ssomething or not

LET ME INTRODUCE MY COUSINS!

That's Ibrahim surrounded by his cousins, of course fromImran's side coz for my family, Ibrahim is so far the first and the only grandson (InsyaAllah, more will come AMIN). On his left Tasha, Vicknes, Monique, Danisha, Navitra, Monisha. On his right Sandra, Surekha, JayHan (hidden) and Lohan. Ibrahim is the 11th grandchild.

I'M THE KING OF THE JUNGLE!

A BIRTHDAY WISH TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON!

Ibrahim darling...yesterday was Aunty Mira's birthday (29 January)...i think it's her 25th birthday. Anyway...this lovely and beautiful lady was Ma's pengapit and her boyfriend, Adri was Pa's bestman.But sadly Adri is no longer her boyfriend now...in fact things got better he is now her husband!hahaha.And the best is yet to come.

I would like to describe Aunty Mira as a person full of life and zest, with colorful characters like gorgeous fashion sense like BEYONCE and a beautiful heart of an angel. Forgive us for the super delay of this wish darling, hope you had a fab celeb. Love and kisses from us.

Have you heard of VILEBREQUIN?

I'm a water baby!

He was hypnotized by the pool, didn't blink his eyes!




Yesterday was Ibrahim's first dip at the pool. He looked excited when he first saw the pool. He didin't blink his eyes. But when he was in, we can't make up of his reaction, he didnt show fear nor excitement (please refer to pics). We all yang terlebih excited. His dip wasnt more than 10 mins. Hema bathed him, I fed him and he dozed off in the midst of it. Poor baby! InsyaAllah we'll bring him to the island in April. Itu pun if everything is ok ;)

YOUR FIRST SOLID DARLING!

Hey...Im ready to party! Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Me loike ma!

Alhamdulillah Ibrahim took his first solid very well. At first I was a lil' corcern that he didn't want it as he adamantly didn't want formula milk (I breastfeed him from his day 1 until now). When I held the spoon, he slowly sucked the formula, the expression that he had on his face was 'Ah- finally you guys understand- I have been waiting for this'. The party hats were just to create the mood, i want him him to get the message that meal time is something that he should look forward to, enjoyable and pleasant. Dr. Angel advised us for the first week to feed him once a day - at 5 pm, breastfeed him like usual, use rice cereal from Heinz or Gerber (we use Heinz) coz she said the local ones possibly contain added sugar.So for his meal, the first week I just add breastmilk to the rice cereal. Probably for second week i will mix rice cereal, breastmilk with pureed banana. He's not yet ready to sit on high chair, but wl start browsing for one for an appropriate one.Worait pips, we are going to Spy soon, last nite i termengidam jcola with a cup of coffee.mmm yummynye. so need to settle that first. Anyhoot, have a great weekend everybody!I hope wont commit so much 'damamge' today.Hehehehe.
