With Sumo...Afiqah...his greatest fan

Last Sunday 25th October was his 1st birthday.We didnt plan to throw a big party.Told Kak Nah about it and was thinking to gather all his fan nearby around 4-6 kids. Told Tok Wan about it. Thats when all were change. Instead of having few kids with a cake and though of having fried noodles everything went diffirently. As usual when involved Tok Wan, everything must goes as her plans. Ermmm... She told almost everybody she knew..her children, her sister etc. So our initial plan has changed, instead, we have to bought 3 barrels of KFC, Kak Midah cooked noodles etc. Kak Nah herself prepared samosa, sandwiches and her house as the venue. Nothing much from us except for the cake, drinks and KFC. We were so busy running about for our other big project. So no time to have a specially ordered cake for him. Well anyway.. alhamdulillah everything goes well abang Man, Kak Nah's husband, Ikram so called Baba..told me that next year we will do it again with a proper planning. Ermmm...another year to go...InsyaAlah.

New Tooth and Imitation skills

Yesterday I saw his new tooth emerged from his gum becoming to 2 now next to his first in the lower jaw. Lol....in couple of weeks he will become one and yet to have full set of tooth but can run as fast as newly delivered baby cow (if you ever seen one).

His imitation skills is superb. Talking to phone is like a natural thing to him. Once the cell phone or anykind of phone rings or buzz for sms he will move towards the phone as if to answer it. At one point he even answer the phone by picking it up and babbling to it. He even knows how to differentiate between handphone and remote control. He will point the hand phone to his ear and remote control toward either Tv or the ceiling fan. Tok Wan even amazed with his 'brilliantness'.

Another thing I noticed is that he likes to read. Yup, since I bought his first book he likes it when we read it for him and when he found anykind of reading material he will babble sort of reading it and we have to becareful and watchful because sometimes he even chew the paper.Lol.

Eidul Fitri week

It has been quite sometimes since the blog been updated. Ummi have been very busy. Here are some of the pictures taken during the Hari Raya. Ikram 1st Hari Raya celebration. He gain his new skills during the celebration week. His first tooth was discovered on Saturday, Hari Raya eve..on our way back to Kampung.

During Hari Raya he deveoped his skills to walk more than just few steps. But its more like running though. Very impatient person. Doesnt want to walk but he likes to run lol . His movement just like a tree blown by heavy breeze. 1st Day of Hari Raya (Eidul Fitri)

Green theme this year!!

First few step

Last Tuesday 1st September, Ikram had his first few steps without any support.He had the couraged to walk on his own though for few steps. He only had the couraged to do so when we are ready waiting for him to reach us.Otherwise he would prefer to crawl and he infact the faster crawler ever.Hahaha ...even Tok Wan cant beat him. When Tok Wan just about to raise her butt to stand, with her trembling knee, Ikram already reached his destination and that was why Tok Wan and even Nenek cant baby sit Ikram alone.

Cant wait to see Ikram to have his fullest courage and strength to walk by himself during this Hari Raya. Last nite we tried him with his Baju Melayu which Nenek sewn for him and with the kain samping. He looks so cute. Will post the pic soon when Raya comes.

1st Day of Ramadhan

Its Saturday and 1st day of Ramadhan and Ikram is having a slight feverish. He seems to had ityesterday evening as this morning he was so active as usual and we thought his feverish sign had gone. But when come to nightfall the sign appears again. Tomorrow morning we nee dto send him for check up for sure. Hope its just a normal fever.

New Pyjama

Ikram with Isna, Mak's assistant..handy girl

Just point the camera to him and he knows what to do.

Ikram at nenek house with his new pyjama I bought few hours ago.

Groceries

Yesterday evening, we went to a newly open mart. Yup just nearby our house.ive shortage of instant food. For past few days, ive been eating instant food for dinner.nothing in the fridge or whatever than can be consumed. So after we left Tok Wan house I decided to stop over at M... a mini kind of hypermarket. Ikram was sound asleep in the car at the back seat.Pity him but we have to make a stop or I will be starving tomorow. Good!! I managed to get the parking nicely infront of the entrance. I opened the door to Ikram's seat and slowly woke him up. As usual Ikram is very good boy, he didnt cry if you wake him up in the middle of his sleep. He slowly opened up his eyes and saw me and looked around. The moment that he realised the car was not moving and I was standing beside him with the door wide opened, he blinked and looked at me with his round eyes and waved his hands as sign to be carried out from the car seat. I carried him to the mart and he was so jolly kicking his foot on air. I took a trolley and put him in and stolled in to get my shopping done. While picking and choosing the groceries, Ikram looked around and tried to grab a thing or two but failed as I pulled away the trolley a bit far from the shelves. In less than an hour I managed to get my things and we drove back home.

In the Box

kram was put in the box full of toys just to distract his attention from clinging to my leg while Im doing house chores. He as usual the very active boy, be it in the walker, will run over everything infront of him just to ensure he will pass through and will grab anything within his reach. A 'brilliant' solution by Ab, he put Ikram in the box and he cheerfully plays with his toys. Will find a playing pan to replace the ugly box soon as this box is quite dangerous for Ikram, he can fall and flip over anytime.

Shouting

Shouting and yelling is his latest skills now. Whenever he wants something or dislike something he will yell arggghhhhhhhhh aaaah!Even when he plays alone he will yell for nothing. Was wondering whether this is his new skill toward talking ability. Cant wait to hear he call me Ummi. Yeah, soon, the time will come.But sometimes when he cried he called ammaa and looked at me with soggy eyes 'begging' me to carry him or sooth him. At 9 months old he doesnt have any tooth yet and cant walk or stand properly though he seems so eager to stand on his feet.

Climbing,Unpacking etc

He is very very active though. Cant even stay still one second. everything catches his attention. He likes to climb, unpack and doing all mess. All drawers are now wide opened with things came out from it storage, all due to his activity. Open shelves are not safe anymore. Its his attraction spot. Like it or not you hav eto make sure to keep him away from all those spots and that will keep you sweating, chasing him around. Though not able to walk yet but he is very fast in crawling, sometimes he looks like popeye's baby in the cartoon slot.

PapaPa Paaapa

He started to talk I guess.His favourite words is Papaapa Papa...sounds like Papa but it doesnt pointed to that meaning.Sometimes yes but eventually it end up to everything is papaapaa papa. I really hope and wish he could call my name...Ummmiii. Everyday will teach him to make that sound. He seems like following but still couldnt make any similar sound except paapaapa...papa.

Whenever he's playing eating or any kind of activity that was what he will said.

Busy

Umi is very very busy and couldnt update Ikram's blog. Will do so when free of workload.

BeNut

Last Saturday, Ikram and I and Tokwan went to BeNut. Its Pak Teh's nephew wedding reception. We went early because Tok Wan wanted to stay overnite and we brought Ikram along. Ab was a bit worried that Ikram might not be at his comfort at the new place especially it's a village house. I told him we have to expose Ikram to that kind of environment. So we went. Over there, the household was so busy with 'bunga telur' and othe chores. As for us, we came just as guests of honour. By right, we should be a helping hands to the grooms family, but with Ikram, my hands are all tight, Tokwan, with her conditions, she cant do much so left Faezah and Kak Midah. They tried to help as much as they could and I just minggled around with Ikram outside the house, inside was so stuffy and humid.

Kak Imah, Pak Teh's sister and the groom's mother was so busy running here and there and yet still manage to make sure we were well served and stomach full. We were 'nestled' at the empty house which Pak Teh used as his week end house or stop over whenever he back to BeNut. Me and Ikram laid back at the house. When time comes for dinner, Ikram was sound asleep though with loud noise as normal wedding places used to be, he still sound asleep. We had dinner which I enjoyed most. They had plenty of dishes but what attracts me most was the salted fish. So extraordinary to have salted fish during wedding, but I like it very much as I dont like wedding food such as sweet and sour chicken, curry , briani etc. The wedding food normally will be served on the day of the event and the eve of the wedding we normally had normal food or kampung food. I love kampung food more than the wedding food.

Ikram slept all nite peacefully although sometimes the sounds and noises outside the houses catches his eyes, but with us around and put him back to sleep he managed to sleep through all nite but not for me. It was so noisy, it seems that the people werent sleeping, they were playing cards etc and how could I sleep. Tokwan was sound asleep as well.

The big Day came and we were just waiting for the couple to arrived from K.L.They were wedded couple of weeks before and this was just 'menyambut menantu' and yet it was still grand with arrangement. We had early lunch while waiting for the couple to arrived.

The bride and groom arrived and was greeted by group of silat boys and girls. It was so hot and there were seated under the bright sunshine with a little umbrella.

This was 3rd or 4th wedding Ikram had attended and all were so exciting and he was so fascinated. Never once he cried like other kids when surrounded by crowds. However, on the way back home which took about 1-11/2 hours, he make so much fussed and cried all way long. It was very difficult for me to drive. Faezah (pak Teh's daughter) was with us and tried to comfort him together with Tokwan but failed. Poor Ikram he cried his lung out and I pity him but I have to drive anyway. His eyes was soggy and about 15 minutes before we reached home I put him on my lap and drove back home.

Let See What Will Happen if I let go off my hands

Last Saturday we went to the mall. Ikram sat in his stroller. He seems so facinated with the view, looks like someone whom never been out for ages. He looked around him with so much amusement. Everything to him so amazing and so new. He had one kind of expression. Tried to adjust the seat of the stroller to a lay back position but he make a fuss to show that he doesnt likes it, so I adjusted it back to a sitting position. As usual he attracted so many attention. He is so adorable. We then, went to Toy R Us and bought another few of new toys. A giggling toy. You shake it it will giggle and make a sound.

On Sunday with Tok Wan, her sister, Tok Na, we went to a distance relative's house at the Felda area. Its fruits season and we were so lucky but not Ikram as he cant eat fruits yet. Its king of fruit and queen of fruits season as well as rambutan. We bought home a few of the durian, gave by the relative. It was a good visit though. I always like to visit kampung people as they are always rich with courtesies and warmness. Not only we were warmly welcomed but they were always expect us to come back whenever we are free. With stomach full of lunch and fritters and our car boot full with durian and the smell ohh don't mention, we drove back home with laziness. Luckily the journey to home not that far otherwise I wont let anyone bring in any smelly fruits.

Forgot to mention about the measles which I thought Ikram were having. Luckily, before we went to the Felda, I brought Ikram to see the Dr. He had a bit of flu and cough as well. The Q didnt take that long as we had make an appointment earlier. We had actually went to the clinic last Saturday but the Q was too long and we dont have time to wait and the good part was that the clinic assistant advised us to make an appointment the following day which we did and it turned out great. Good news was that, it was not measles but normal rashes.But the rashes doesnt effect him much though he had slight fever. As for the flu and cough, Dr had given the medicine and I gave him once and the sign shown very positive. No more coughing and running nose. I dont really like to give him much of medicine, since the sign shows positive, Ive stop him from taking the 2nd dose.

Yesterday was a public holoday for J city, and we went to Nek Na daughters house. She invited us to have lunch at hers. So went were Ikram and myself, Ab, Tok Wan, Kak Sam and Pak Bakar (Nek Na's husband). Few hours later followed by Kak Midah and Hubby and Uda. We had a great lunch. I ate a lot and Ikram was at hi sbest manners. He infact slept almost whole day, guess to tired. At home he was so active playing with balloons which we bought earlier. He was so attracted and fascinated with the baloons. He even showed his skills of climbing and at dusk he slept peacefully till 1.00am.

At 1.00am I suddenly heard something and opened my eyes only to see him busy playing and climbing the bed head (iron). Tried to put him back to sleep to no avail but he didnt cry. Guess almost at 2am he went back to sleep and woke up again for another round of milk at almost 5am.

Over the whole week end, Tok Wan was so impressed with Ikram's progress. He showed sign of climbing chairs. He even managed to pulled his leg up to his knee lenght to climb a chair. What an active boy!!.He even managed to pulled a chair and he was lucky the chair didnt hit his head when it fell. The best part was, he thought he could stand without support, whenever he tried to stand up or climb on any standing object, he will try to let go off his hands , as if he's able to stand on his own without support. At Tok Wan's I just put him in his walker to avoid him from climbing and messing around. It was a busy long week end for us after all.
