Redang trip on 2009

This is Le Le's first island trip. We went to Redang Island during Hari Raya time. One of the reason is Daddy is missing Redang Island too much. Mommy also enjoy the trip as can escape from everybody & thinking to have a relax moment...

Some how Le Le is sick during the whole trip. So mommy only stay in the hotel room with Le Le the whole trip. Then come out to "jalan-jalan" in the evening. First time went to island but not touches the sea water at all!

The island still looks the same, but now we've Le Le joining us...

"Pu-Pu"

You learned to "Pu-Pu" with your mouth... It looks like you're progressing in the correct phase. :)

Now whenever you're free (Hah, you should be always free, 'cos you're not working also...), you'll do "Pu-Pu" with your mouth. When we warn you not to do that, you'll smile to us. You looks so cute you know, making Daddy & Mummy tak sampai hati to scold you...

These two days you also do "Pu-Pu" during nen-nen time. Aikssssssss, like that how to drink nen-nen ler?

Luckily you still manage to drink a lot of nen-nen these two weeks, mummy notice your weight is increasing as when we carry you, we can feel the weight. Last time when you was sick, really can't feel your weight.

Pity Le Le is Sick...

ouo.... pity Le Le, fall sick last Saturday till Tuesday. Having fever 37.5 degree celcius, flu & a bit of cough. It is so worrying as H1N1 is spreading so fast in M'sia now...

Le Le only finish 1 oz of breast milk on every feeding. You don't like milk but is fine with plain water pulak. Lucky also, at least you're not de-hydrated.

You were crying when you woke up from sleep, should be due to your body not feeling well as having fever.

During this period of time, you're so manja. Stick to mummy. Even after you're sleeping, you still know mummy walk away & you wake up & cry... You can smell mummy izzit? Clever boy.

Today you've recovered from fever, mummy hope you'll recover from flu & cough very soon my dear...

MomBloggersPlanet Cutest Baby with TOYS Contest





Wow.. mummy is so excited, this is the 1st time mummy sending your photo for online baby photo contest.. hopefully we win something here :)




The contest is organize by Mom Bloggers Planet which mummy just join the membership recently:






Here are some of the photos mummy took for you with your favourite bear-bear...


This bear-bear was given by a promoter kakak when we went to Tesco Puchong last 2 weeks. Mummy is queueing at the cashier & daddy & you are waiting. Then this kakak saw you & gave you the bear-bear 'cos she said you're cute :) Thanks to the kakak, this bear-bear has become your favourite toys since then.


Before sleeping, posing with bear-bear... after a while, hug bear-bear to sleep... with your pacifier in your mouth, bear-bear is safe... (otherwise kena bite!!!)













Baby's name: Danish Tahqif Abdullah



DOB: 1st April 2009




Wake up in the morning, posing with bear-bear again... after a while, hand started to reach bear-bear & move towards the mouth... Lastly, bear-bear kena bite!!! haha








Here's some photos to show how aggressive you're on bear-bear.. causing the photo so blur as you're moving.. geram sangat with your bear-bear..






First bite the bear-bear hand.. when mummy called you, you looked at mummy 'huh?'.. Then continue with the bite again.. don't care who is calling at all...






Ok, after the photo session, here are some opinion on the usage of Toys in early childhood learning:



1. Educational or learning baby toys are geared toward stimulation of the five senses – sight, sound, and touch in particular. E.g. toy blocks, rubber animal toys, small mirrors, and musical instruments without sharp noises.



2. Another learning aspect toys encourage is playing one on one, whether with a parent or another child, and this can contribute to physical, social, and emotional development.



3. Toy play can encourage imaginative and fantasy play. E.g. a cardboard box. One day the box was a train. Later in the week it morphed into an ocean liner. Children eagerly discover what had happened to the large cardboard box over night. Wonderful interactions took place inside the ever-changing box.



4. Security feeling. E.g. with a soft toys, baby can hug & feel security and be able to sleep on his own.

Even with so many benefit of toys, but we still need to consider the Safety of the toys before giving it to baby.






What to look for:


a) Always follow all manufacturers' age recommendations. Some toys have small parts that can cause choking, so heed all warnings on a toy's packaging.


b) Check to see if the toy meets the series of standards on toy safety developed by Department of Standards Malaysia & Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs.


c) Make sure the toy is unbreakable and has no sharp edges. It should be large enough that it can't be swallowed or lodged in the throat.


d) It shouldn't have any small parts such as eyes, wheels, or buttons that can be pulled loose, and it should be strong enough to withstand chewing.


e) There should be no parts that could become pinch points for small fingers.


f) There shouldn't be strings longer than 7 inches (18 centimeters).


g) Homemade toys should be carefully evaluated. They may not have undergone testing for safety.






SAFETY NOTES: Never give balloons or latex gloves to a child younger than age 8. A child who is blowing up or chewing on a balloon or gloves can choke by inhaling them. Inflated balloons pose a risk because they can pop without warning and be inhaled. In addition, never give your infant vending machine toys, which often contain small parts.



Last but not least, thanks to PhotoBookMalaysia & AliceWonders for the contest prizes..

No more crying


Le Le was crying every night started when Le Le is 1 months +, when we went back to Ah Ma's house at Melaka. Since then, every night approaching to midnight, Le Le is crying... Nothing daddy & mummy did was successfully calm you down. So we're so tense when time is reaching to midnight.

Then Ah Ma's said maybe Le Le 'semangat' left somewhere during our journey back to Melaka, didn't follow daddy & mummy to go back home. So Ah Ma's taught us how to call back your 'semangat'. Mummy scare to do it, feel so geli. So daddy is doing it. After finish, daddy shows mummy his hand, all the hair stand up! haha.. daddy also feel scare.

At the same time, Mummy gaves Le Le 'Eu Yan San's Bo Yin Dan' to sooth Le Le's body.

After few days, Le Le no more crying during midnight & manage to sleep on your own.

Wow, mummy so proud of you. You've grown up & more healthier now.

Mummy will continue to give u 'Eu Yan San's Bo Yin Dan'... You're good boy, eat it without crying so mummy don't need to force you to eat.

Since then, mummy & daddy didn't use the spring cot to make you to sleep, and mummy & daddy also manage to sleep earlier together with you. :)

Babysitter

25th May. This is the first day mummy sent you to babysitter.

When mummy back to home after sent you to babysitter, mummy miss you so much when mummy look at all your baby stuff. Ooh, you're just 2 km away but mummy cannot stop missing you. This is because mummy has been besides you 24 hours daily since you're born.

That day was a hard day. Ended up mummy cannot 'tahan' miss you, mummy went to visit you after 2 hours. You're having nice sleep at babysitter's house. Hope you're doing fine with babysitter from now on.

Babbling

You started babbling after fullmoon. Such a talkative baby you are...

Talking with mummy everyday for half an hour, you're just 1 month old baby that time. You looks like understanding what mummy is talking. Every evening while waiting for daddy to back home, it is our chit chatting time ;)

As at todate, you're 2 months & 25 days old. Besides babbling, you're smiling so happily every times mummy talk to you. Such a happy baby, everyone likes you when you're smiling... clever baby to earn everyone's heart. haha...

Night without sleep

Since Le Le arrived in this world, mummy's nice night sleep has ended.

Besides feeding you every 2 hours, mummy wakes up to pump breast milk for you as well. Even though other people help to feed you, mummy still need to wakes up once at night.

It was tiring when one is not enough sleep. But, mummy will gain the energy back when mummy saw your sweet smile. Your smile is priceless for mummy.

Le Le is Born!


Hello Le Le,

You've arrived 1 week earlier than mummy's EDD.

It was the 2nd day mummy work from home. Since morning mummy already feel the contraction is different from usual. After checking with mummy's fren, she told mummy you're going to arrive soon.

By noon, mummy admitted to hospital already. But still mummy didn't feel that you'll come anytime, mummy still chit chatting with uncle yet & daddy, and having dinner. But half-way thru the dinner, nurse came to check. Suddenly it is 5cm opened & mummy need to go to labour room as you may come out anytime now. It made mummy suddenly feel so 'kan cheong' as everyone is 'kan cheong'...

Ok, at 7pm mummy entered the labour room, with daddy accompany aside.. Mummy started to have real contraction since 7pm, every 5 minutes till the next day 4am! Seems this is the result for not exercising... Pity you, sure you also feel the pain during the contraction.

At last, doctor decided that mummy should go for Ceasarian to take you out. It was a quick operation & painless.

Finally, you're out from mummy's tummy & mummy hear your 1st voice in this world! It was soft & nice... after a while, nurse brought you to mummy after cleaned you. Such a handsome little baby boy you are... with big eyes looking at mummy & fair skin. Mummy falls in love with you so much my sayang...

Le Le is born on 1st of April which is April Fool day. Mummy's hope Le Le will be a happy person.

Welcome to this world my dear...

* Le Le is born on 4:48am, 3.16Kg

Chinese New Year

Mummy again dragged to write this post...

It was 2009 CNY, mummy & daddy went back to Melaka earlier this year to help Ah Ma & Ah Kong to prepare the kuih baulu.

Daddy has given a helpful hand to Ah Ma & Ah Kong in cooking the kuih baulu, since mummy can't work much as you're so big in mummy's tummy...

Since that day, Ah Ma treated daddy differently, mummy was so happy for that change!

English from now onward

It is because mummy remove the Chinese Communicator program (which is not allowed by company), so from now onward mummy will write in English.

乐乐的性别

在乐乐二十四个星期时,我们去做了第三次超音波,妈妈要求医生检查乐乐的性别。

知道医生怎么说吗?医生说很大可能乐乐是男的。。。当时妈妈觉得很开心因为妈妈也一直认为乐乐是男的,妈妈很会猜吧。。。

爸爸看见你了。。。

妈妈一直要写这个贴子但是一直拖。

在乐乐十八个星期时,我们去做了第二次的超音波。当时我们看见了你,你还一直舞动手脚。爸爸看了甚是感动,因为这是爸爸第一次的感觉到乐乐的存在。

也是从这一天开始,妈妈感觉到乐乐每一天都在妈妈的肚子里动。妈妈也觉得和乐乐更亲密了。
