Amir The Eater

Boys will be boys la kot? He's got such a good appetite subhanallah. Tak sampai 10 minutes boleh habes his food. So far I've introduced apple, pear and sweet potato to his diet. Tried avocado also but he's not that receptive to it. Might have to give it another go next week. Or probably introduce bananacado as a combo.

He knows when it is meal time, and delays will cause him to become loud. And start smacking his lips and pound on the table. Haha. Sua je sudu, terus bukak mulut. So when he is full, you'll know too coz he won't open his mouth at all!

We started of feeding him once a day only. But on the second day he was doing the "i want my food now" tactics, so he's been having breakfast and late lunch puree. And I think by the end of next week, he'll graduate to 3 meals a day.

Amir's stock for the week

Yes, I puree his food in advance. And no, even though I am a SAHM I do not have the time to be tai-tai. What more now with prep for my youngest brother's wedding in full speed. But the topic about being SAHM is for another blog post.

WW :: Pfffttttt!

Just the 5 of us

We were at my cousin's wedding yesterday. And of course there was a photograph session. But it was difficult to get everyone from the Arshad clan together as Mama n Papa were busy helping entertaining guests etc etc and then the pengantin was no where to be found. So much so that J was asking every couple of minutes when when when.

So anyhow, being J she said this;

"Mommy, I have a great idea. We don't have to wait for the princess (that's what she calls the pengantin). Why don't we take a picture of just us."

Hence, the picture.

Nicely turned out too. Well, except Amir haven't gotten the hang of looking at the camera. 

But yeah, we now have a family picture. :)

First Food!!

Semalam marked the first day Amir had his food. Wanted to give him avocado but unfortunately the avocado I bought was still tak masak so had to prep him some apple puree.

2 medium sized apples

Peeled, cored and quartered ready to steam

Halfway there..

Extras are frozen for the next meal

Alhamdulillah he liked it. In fact, when we put him in the high chair today he started getting noisy as if saying "where's my food?? I don't want to sit her if I am not eating!" Haha!

So very happy with the Little Bean steamer-blender combo that one of my aunties gave us. Definitely going to use it again n again. Amir is definitely the lucky boy with an enthusiastic SAHM :D

6 months!

Major milestone!! Reached half year already. Oh wow. Time sure flies. Seriously feels like it was just recently I was going for check-ups etc. I haven't even posted about his birth. (heck, I haven't done that for Jannah either)

The different thing or rather improvement we have done with Amir is basically being more hands on. I have to admit with the 2 Kakaks we let others handle them. More so in Jannah's case I have to say. And honestly, I do regret it. Alhamdulillah Amir is getting more attention from us. And now that I am finally a SAHM, insyaAllah akan lebih berjaya.. ;)

Anyway, milestones achieved this month includes;

• turns towards sounds and noises.. and recognises it if we call his name

• sits without support temporarily

• lunges forward.. and also reverse back.

• blow bubbles, drools, jabbers are all his favourite activities

• pass object from one hand to another

• starting strangers' anxiety though in general he does not seem to mind a stranger's attention

Stats this month-

Weight :: 6.85kg

Height :: 69cm

Head circ :: 41.5cm
