Abang sayang adik..

Adik-beradik..

Adik beradik share the car

Lamanya rasa meninggalkan dunia blogging ni.. Al-maklumla dengan kesibukan menguruskan anak-anak, keluarga dan kerja..memang susah nak mencari masa yang sesuai untuk meneruskan blogging ni..Nak-nak pulak dah ada FB..memang senang update kat sana je la.. 


Anyway sekarang ni anak-anak dah semakin membesar...Zikri dah mencecah 3 tahun setengah dan Sarah 2 tahun 2 bulan...Alhamdullillah Zikri sekarang dah boleh dah tak pakai diapers di siang hari. Cuma bila nak buang air besar dia still mintak nak pakai diapers.. mungkin rasa semacam nak buat business kat potty or toilet kat rumah tu..walaupun telah diajak.. dia still phobia lagi.. and of course at night kena still pakai la sebab dia nak tido kan.. kesian la plak nak kejut malam-malam pegi toilet.. Bab bercakap plak..bukan main la sekarang ni..macam-macam citer.. cuma tak tau citer betul ke ciptaan semata-mata..

On 4th September hari tu, Zikri kena demam campak air yang besar tu..kesian dia..jenuh menahan diri dari menggaru..tapi terlepas la jugak sebab macamana la budak kecik tu nak menahan.. Naik penuh badan, muka, kepala dan jugak dalam mulut dia.. kesian dia.. tiap kali nak sapu calamine lotion menangis beria-ia..kesian tengok dia..

Dalam masa dua minggu tu, berhati-hati la jugak takut berjangkit pada Sarah...Tup tup..lepas 14/15 hari Ayahnya pulak berjangkit..pun teruk jugak keaadaan ayahnya..Tapi sempat kami jumpa klinik yang boleh bagi antiviral supaya tak la teruk sangat parut dan keluarnya..

Alhamdullillah selepas about sebulan Sarah tak kena la plak..mungkin hasil dari breastfeed ku pada dia yang last almost for 1 year. So mungkin Sarah dah dapat dah siap-siap antibodi dari ku untuk memerangi virus chicken pox ni..Lega la jugak... Syukur sangat..

Abang belajar solat tapi nak ajak adik join..

Masa abang baru kena chicken pox tu.. kebetulan plak sports day Sarah dan Zikri.. oleh kerana nak menyiapkan diaorang sendirian dan jugak nak pikir macamana nak handle dua sekali sendirian, kami terlambat sampai ke majlis sukan.. Sarah punya game was the first one, masa sampai-sampai the game tengah on.. melepas la Nur Sarah...

Lepas Zikri punya event habis, kami pun balik sebab Abang masih agree untuk ikut pegi sports day walaupun hanya menunggu dalam kereta dalam keadaan kesakitan.. Here are some pictures..  

Ntah apa la Zikri tengah nengok Sarah..

When Zikri turn 1 year old...

On 28th April 2011, cukupla umur Muhammad Zikri one year old.. Tak sangka - begitu cepat masa berlalu..After all the years waiting for a small one, it's such a joy (and kadang2 terror as well) watching him grow... He's such a cheeky child -- but quite aware of strangers... Right now I guess the stranger anxiety phase is in full force -- mak ai... kalau menjerit/menangis boleh tahan jugak seramnya dengar..

Anyway, before Zikri turn one - a couple of weeks ago he was really sick - fever sampai more than 1 week tak kebah2. Eventually had to admit him in the hospital - was there for 4 days and 3 nights. He got ear infections, conjunctivitis -- on top of the fever, cough and flu..It was the most tiring week for me.. And with my current condition -- lagi la letih...dan lenguh.. (ooo -- i forgot to mention that I'm currently in my 22/23 week pregnancy -- ok, ok.. I need to story about that too - takpe, next entry).

He's much better now - on his birthday he also had to have his 1 year old jab - the MMR. For the time being, he looks ok. According to the nurse, he won't have fever this time round. I hope that's true.. After the jab, we decided to do a cake cutting ceremony with him and his friends at my SIL's place. Nasib baik mood baik -- here are some pictures..

Seksanya nak tukar baju.. asyik sibuk nak pegi kat ayah je..

Ok.. dah siap...

Amik gambar dulu with his friends..cuba tengok expression Lutfi yang excited tengok kek..

First birthday cake Zikri..

Bukan senang nak suruh si kenit ni posing dengan kek dia..Kek lagi besar dari empunya diri..

Dah potong kek, mengantuk plak.. tak senang tengok kek tu sendirian aje..

Kawan-kawan tengah sibuk makan kek..

Sibuk nak pegang kotak-kotak..

Posing jap ngan mama..

Sibuk nak tengok handphone kak Nana..nak tengok gambar diri sendiri la tu... quite vain jugak si kecik ni..

Birthday pose..

Last pose dengan abang Lutfi - the only other boy yg my SIL jaga..

Buat Zikri, anak mama and ayah... mama dan ayah doakan kesejahteraan, kebahagiaan dan kesihatan yang baik untuk Zikri.. Semoga jadi anak yang baik dan soleh... Amin...Sayang anak mama...

Zikri at 10 month old..

Salam.. adoi.. lamanya tak update blog..Bukan apa, during the long holiday (CNY) - I was out sick for more than 2 weeks.. Siap masuk hospital for 3 days for my asthma attacks.. Lama betul tak kena asthma. Sekali kena, dengan kadar yang sangat teruk..

Anyway, this post is meant to commemorate Zikri's 10-month konon birthday la.. dah besar dah anak mama.. kejap nanti - dah 1 year... Anyway last 28th February cukup la umur Zikri 10 bulan.. Dah banyak akal dah sekarang ni.. macam-macam drama dia.. Here are some pictures of him taken last Sunday and a couple this morning...

By the way, last week, akhirnya dua gigi Zikri dah menjelma.. wah..sekarang apa lagi, kuat mengigit la.. Dengan sekuat-kuat hati tu.. For the time being masih la lagi rasa geli-geli.. esok gigi tu dah besar mau sakit punya tu...

Mama kononnya berangan la masa kecik-kecik dulu nak biar Zikri on fully cloth diapers.. sekali tak menjadi.. umur nak masuk 10 bulan baru la try out his first cloth diaper -- tu tengah menayang CD la kat mama tu sambil hang out kat garden ayah...hahaha..

Another shot, another day.. rilek je duduk atas batu sungai tu -- sejuk kot, tu yang syok tu..

Taken this morning -- sibuk main his first 'party bag' courtesy of Aunty Letchumi's niece whose birthday was yesterday.. Bukannya Zikri boleh makan pun.. mama ngan ayah la dapat habuan.. Zikri dapat main je la..

Sesungguh hati main dengan the party bag...

Seronok main cak-cak dengan mama..hahaha.. tapi mata dah kuyu dah..

Zikri geli mama geletek kaki dia.. hihihi..

Tengok la sat anak sapa duduk sungguh tak sopan.. Aish.. awat ni ??? Restless la tu..

Puting oh..puting

Before I delivered Zikri, I was so determined not to give my baby the pacifier.. But down the road of a month (still in my confinement)..my mama started giving him the 'puting' so that he can easily go to sleep..(you might ask, where did she get the pacifier from -- well.. it's part of the starter kit that I bought)..

I've been receiving a lot of negative remarks for letting him suck on the pacifier -- mostly the remark about how his teeth will end up being 'jongang' and how his sucking on air and that will make him a colicky baby.. But alhamdullillah, so far so good.. My sense is that I think the pacifier's function is merely that -- to pacify the baby when he/she is agitated..Memang dah fitrah seorang bayi suka menghisap -- tak kisah la puting ke, jari ke.. Even if we don't give him his puting, he will still suck on his finger/s -- so nak buat macamana ??? I've read somewhere that the ability to suck -- either the thumb or a dummy helps with the baby development... so I'm so confused now...

Anyway, since he had started on his solids about a week now - my sister-in-law who is taking care of him while I'm at work -- has started to wean him off the pacifier..ada la dia nangis sikit2..esp bila ngantuk nak tido... Nak tak nak, I thought I better persevere and sambung her effort during the night.. but it's mighty heart wrenching to see him whimper for the beloved puting.. Sampai terkecap bibir sendiri la nak tido tu.. Tapi alhamdullilah -- it has been 3 days and 2 nights now that we've been able to keep him away for it.. Now, my question is -- Am I making the right decision ??

New Addition to the family... Muhammad Ihsan Afif

This year murah rezeki my parents.. For a while it's only just Adi, finally Mama and Abah dapat dua cucu this year.. Abah la yang paling excited (anybody who knows my father would know he's always pinning for a lot of cucus..)

Just a week before raya on 3rd September, my younger sister Yone gave birth to another baby boy - Muhammad Ihsan Afif bin Mohd Azri (we have the same birthdate Ihsan!) in Penang..

My mother since then has been very busy because dengan cucu lagi, dengan anak dalam pantang lagi, dengan nak raya lagi.. letih la mama

Anyway - we would like to welcome Ihsan into the family...

The day he was born...

Cepat betul bukak mata... sama macam abg Zikri..

Dah balik rumah mak tok.. amboi kan main lagi happynye dia..

Tengok tu, pandai buat muka plak...

Ambik gambar dengan abang Adi... Abg Adi tak sabar nak ajak Ihsan main tu...

Ambik gambar dengan Abang Zikri plak.. alahai, lebatnya rambut Ihsan.. Abg Zikri rambut tak tumbuh2 lagi -- Kena letak diaorang jauh sikit sebab tangan Zikri masa ni asyik menerawang je, nanti terkena plak adik Ihsan..

Lagi satu gambar together lepas Ihsan dah cukur rambut.. pandai la dua2 posing.. masa ni Zikri dan Ihsan dah jadi adik-beradik sesusu.. Susu Michik untuk Ihsan punya la banyak melimpah ruah, Zikri pun tumpang la sekaki.. Thank you Michik.. Thank you Ihsan...

About a week after raya, Ihsan kena infection kat pusat dia - terus dikejarkan ke hospital - kena admit for 3 nights.. Kesian Ihsan..

Takper Ihsan, nanti baik k....

Ihsan dah sihat dah.. This was taken when he was 22 days old

Kan main lagi.. susu pun dah banyak minum.. alhamdullilah.. This was taken yesterday - on his 24th day..

First day at work...

Time mandi....

Relax aje michik exercise dia...

After almost 3 months being with Zikri, today I have to start work and it kind of bittersweet to leave him with my sister-in-law...I miss him terribly during the day -- especially bathing time.. It is so fun to see him react to whatever I say or do to him.. He really loves to bath...

Anyway, I really hope he will be a good boy for Cik Ami.. and can't wait to see him soon...
