Weekend's activity

Selalunye weekend memang la penat and rasa kejap sgt. Especially when you have a little one, a toddler to be more specific. Nak kemas rumah, masak, basuh baju, day out activity, main2 dgn irfan, getting ready for the week ahead.. i wish the world could just stop spinning for couple of hours so that I can get caught up. See my weekend schedule doesn't include keje langsung that's why I was so behind in work and nampak mcm pemalas. urgh.

Anyway yesterday we went to Tulsa, 1.5 hr away from Indy. It'a a very busy city ala2 tempat Gem but the traffic is way crazier. Did a little shopping, last2 terbeli banyak la pulak.
Initially we wanted to get a trike for Irfan, then dah kat Babies R us pegi tgk stroller pulak so in the end bought a trike and a MacLaren stroller (ergh memang tak patut Irfan dah ade 2 strollers) for Irfan. The thing is we have a Zapp Stroller yg tak boleh recline and kesian sgt bila tgk Irfan tido dlm stroller tu. Mcm sakit tengkuk je sbb tido kepala tersengguk2 kan. When we tested the Maclaren Irfan memang suka sgt so we decided to go for it dah alang2 ade 20% off.
Both Zuhri and I were so amazed by this stroller - lightweight, easy to handle, Irfan sgt suka and comfortable in it so beli jela. I think Gem should get this one too for the baby.

This is the trike that we bought for Irfan. Memula nak beli the one that cost $90 then when we actually look at it rasa mcm kecik pulak. Memang the design is for 9-36 mo but looks too small for Irfan yg makin tinggi. Plus the price is just way too $$$ so we settled with this one for $40.

I also had a hair cut yesterday. Zuhri thinks my new look is sexy auuuwwww...
Hari ni pulak nak pegi photoshoot. Dah lama nak get a family portraiture in a stuudio- we have a DSLR tp jarang amik gamba sekali. It's either me + Irfan or Zuhri + Irfan in the picture. Ye la kalau tak sape nak jadi cameraman kan. I wanted to do this since Irfan baby lagi tapi takde la masa... until at one point Irfan kena kawasaki so memang la tak terbuat kan. Hope the session wil turn out good. Puhleasseee Irfan behave ok... jangan la cranky nanti...

Laugh of the day

My conversation with Zuhri this morning went like this..

Me: KB mimpi something yg pelik tadi..
Zuhri: Mimpi ape?
Me: KB mimpi Amal (Zuhri's youngest sis) dapat offer letter to Jepun, dentistry kat Kinokawa U
Zuhri: Huh?
Me: Tu la pelik sampai termimpi2... I'm suprised I remember the U's name K.I.N.O.K.A.W.A (ntah ade ke U nama tu kat Jepun tak tau la huhu)
Zuhri: Ler..
Me: Ye la asyik tgk status Amal kat FB... waiting for phonecalls on that interview to Jepun
Zuhri: You know what that tells you?
Me: ....what? (I care too much about your family ke? in law mithali ke huhaua don't think so)

Zuhri: It means you had too much facebook going on. Stop looking at facebook je.
Me: Ahahhahaha Whatever (didn't expect he's going to say that, mcm tak related to my mimpi je huhu)

More videos of the Daycare

Some videos of Irfan at the Day Care

Both of the videos were taken early this month. The narrator is Ms Brenda, Irfan's teacher. The other lil guy in the video is Irfan's classmate, Cayden.

Anak bujang

Another milestones. Lama dah tak tulis ape2. I'm just going to write something short since I have tons and tons of other things to do. Keje rumah jangan cite la.. as I keep saying the-never-ending-chores. Urgh.
Summary of activities from last week: Went to KC to visit Gem yg dah 5+ months pregnant. Perut memang nampak besar but I don't think she gains too much weight. I brought some pregnancy clothings and books for them
Both gem and amin just got back from Msia so we got lots of Msian goodiees. Thanks to Gem, Amin, Mak, Ayah and Meng yg bersungguh cari barang for kami di sini. The kerepek, bahulu etc are superb. Irfan Zuhri and I really enjoy the kuih deram sangat sedap. Gem cooked lontong with sambal sotong and sambal kacang when we were there. Adoi the sambal sotong is really something else, sangat sedap menjilat jari. Kind of remind me of sambal sotong that mak usually cook during raya. Gem is one hell of a cook! Forgot to tak pictures thou.

Ni gamba2 Irfan while at Auntie Cah's. He was trying to put on dada's shoes which is so comel.

Irfan bulat in his car

As of April 12th, Irfan is 19 months old. He is very vocal yet a little shy when it comes to stranger.

• Dah panjat2 all over the places, our sofa is like his play area now. When he watches Yo Gabba Gabba he'll sit at the corner of the couch with his elbow on the arm rest, sungguh nampak mcm Couch Potato (mintak dijauhkan... amin) heheh.

• His favorite activity is menyelongkar segala laci and making big mess. Pening nak kemas. I always ask him to help me clean up the toys, pick up the blocks, put the toys in the box etc... he'd do it most of the time. He can understand simple instructions very well.

• He can use fork and spoon moderately. Not proficient in scooping food just yet but manages to suap ke mulut which is a good practice for his motor skills.

• He can puncture the straw that's attached to the juice box, and take a sip...ahhh heheh

• Tantrums makin melampu. Everytime when we get home from work/ daycare, we'll take Irfan for a short walk kat belakang rumah. Pegi la tgk kucing ke anjing ke burung kehuhu Irfan is amazed by all sorts of animals. Bila time nak masuk rumah he'll scream like someone yg kena dera tsk tsk tsk. Keraskan badan, bended his back bone ke ape. Menangis2... tu yg malas nak bawak keluar. He wants to stay outside and play all the time!
  

• Dah pandai turun katil sendiri. Our katil is quite high about 4 ft tall and Irfan boleh turun senang2 je. He knows how to position himself so that the leg will go first. Naik tak boleh lagi la. Maybe soon.

Look at his grumpy face

Meeting Janet, Zuhri & Irfan

They came to see us for the weekend. First thing I noticed, Irfan's behavior is so different from the last time I met him. He is very shy (again), and I think he doesn't recognize me and Amin (again). He stares at us a lot, and sometimes hides behind Janet/Zuhri. And he doesn't listen to people that much.


But he is as cute as ever. And he loves to dance!

Introducing... Amin Jr.

We had our first ultrasound appointment yesterday morning. The technician also noticed that my tummy is quite large for 14 weeks and she also made that 'twin babies' joke :S

So first, she checked the baby's spinal cord. Then she took picture of the baby's abdomen and measured its diameter. To our surprise, the computer showed that the baby was 21 weeks and 4 days already! We didn't expect this at all. All these times, I thought that the baby could be 16-18 weeks the most. But 21 weeks... wowww that was really fast! And I only have 4 months left to get prepared?? Aiyoyoyo...

Then the technicians took pictures of the baby's heart beats, kidney, legs. And then she said, "I could tell the baby's sex." "Do you guys want to find out?"
We both said "Yes." She then showed this image on the computer screen:

And she said "Definitely a boy!" "No doubt about it."
I felt so overwhelmed. Still couldn't believe how big is my baby now, and then to find out that it's a boy..... it was such a wonderful feeling :) and I cried a bit huhu..

Then, the technician took pictures of the baby's arms, face, toes, abdomen and finally its head. We saw the baby moved around a bit, flexed its arms and legs, clenching his fists, and opened and closed his mouth like his was sucking or something. It was so cute...

Amin Jr.'s images from the side.

His face & abdomen. If you look closely, you can see him making a fist (right under the chin).

His feet together.

Here are some videos:


Amin Jr. made facial expression..


Look at his long arms.


His face, and heart beats (at the end).

He is estimated to due on August 12, which is also our Wedding Anniversary & the first/second day of Ramadhan.
