Mother's Day

  Last night, I fell asleep while trying to get the 2 boys to sleep. When Kakak n J checked on me and found me asleep; they turned off the lights, turned on the night lights, kept all the toys etc and went to bed by themselves. That by far is the best gift they could have given me for mother's day.

On a side note, I got RM1 from them with the card. Aliah said, "Umar helped too by keeping you busy. And Amir helped too by not disturbing us while we finished this"  Love you kiddos to the moon and back -- reposting from my ig

My doa is so that all of you will always be wonderful, brilliant, thoughtful Muslims.

Homai. Time flies. 

Someone mentioned to me the other day, we feel it as such because unlike the first born whom we were always anticipating the next milestone and keep on going "bila ni .. bila ni.. " when it comes to no 3, 4 etc we don't have enough time to constantly anticipate. Hence, the feeling that "eh cepatnya baby dah blabla.. "

Umar is such a talkative baby. Friendly too. Sekejap je dah warm up to strangers. And he'll chat away with you sampai tak terlayan! 

I am thankful that his sleep has normalized. 12 hours at night, with the first leg a full stretch of 6 hours! Alhamdulillah. And because he sleeps enough at night, he seldom nap for long during the day. But that's fine by me. I'd rather he sleep well at night. :)

His plastibell ring finally came off yesterday. One full week after the procedure. Orang kata, anticipate a growth spurt after this. We'll see how he fares. 

His milestones (taken from babycenter.com) includes :

• Laughs
• Holds head steady
• Recognises your face and scent

• Squeals, gurgles, coos
• Recognises your voice
• Does mini-pushups

• Turns towards loud sounds
• Bats at toys (still getting a feel of this)

Hands down the best I've ever tasted so far

Hamboi title.

Hahaha. 

1 week shy of 3 months old, and after numerous postponement we finally brought Umar to the surgeon for his bersunat. 

I had to admit I was very nervous and apprehensive. Blades and blood are not my kinda thing you know. Plus prior knowledge of what we went through with Amir sort of planted a preconceived idea of what was to be expected. 

And let me say that I am so glad I do not have to go through that ever again. Umar was a wreck! For him being such a happy baby to cry and scream inconsolably was a torment to watch. Even after all was done and we were on the way home he was still crying. And he even gave his Papa this look that had this "why did you let the doctor do that to me"

The whole day he was in a bad mood. Wants Mommy and cuddles all the time. To the point that first night he slept with Mommy. Kena peluk. Letak je nangis. Fuh. Kebas tangan. 

But Alhamdulillah he woke up the next day a happy baby again. And is currently on the road to recovery. :)
