Preparing for solids :)

Made this chart for Baby Khaira based on http://www.homemade-baby-food-recipes.com/index.html.



I'm looking forward for the day I get to introduce solids to Baby Khaira. Pray for me, insya Allah I will be given the strength to cook for her everyday. I want her to eat the healthiest food possible, doakan!!! :)

Btw, on Saturday I went to Mid Valley's Baby Expo.. Ohh.. How disappointing! Only 1 hall for the expo, so damn packed and we didn't buy anything there! But we dropped by at the organic shop, Just Life to buy brown rice and instant baby food for Khaira..



Brown rice = about RM17 for 1kg
Instant oat= about RM7 for 0.5kg

Last week, Khaira dah jadi Kakak!! One of my bestfriend back in high school gave birth to a wonderful boy..



Assalamualaikum Eusoff!! :) Welcome to the world.

The most awaited wedding of the year :)

It's bestfriend Mel's solemnization last weekend!!



The most beautiful.

I'm uber excited to meet my two bestfriends, FJoe and Fiah!



Fiah refused to hold Khaira. She said, "Nanti bila you dah pandai jalan, I pegang tangan you ok!"

Sengal as always.

I wonder how she did not have the heart to hold this Spiderbaby ;p



Such a happy weekend.





Congrats Mel!! I love you to the bits!

Please don't!

Back when I was younger, I used to make fun of my cousin who had a serious problem on people who held her baby. She was too scared of germs that she wouldn't let us touch her baby.

Now that I'm a mother, I got a little bit scared to touch other people's baby in the mall (I did that all the time before). I wouldn't want the mother/father to feel uncomfortable.

As for my baby, I wouldn't mind people touching her, I took it as a compliment. But I realized now that every mother has a different thing that they are not comfortable about.

For me, recently I just discovered that I am not comfortable with people giving food/drink to my baby without my permission.

I know it's cute to give food to baby, and I wouldn't mind if you want to feed my baby, just that it would be respectful for you to ask. By saying "I wouldn't mind" does not mean I'm okay with you giving my baby junk food or anything weird.

I am VERY particular on what goes in into my baby's mouth.

I am glad though that every single time I did not approve what goes into my baby's mouth, she would vomit it back :)

I'm. Trying. To. Keep. My. Life. Back. On. Track.

So, 4 months down the road after Little Princess was born.

Let's see what I've missed..

1) Lots and lots of movies.
2) Love's birthday dinner (just the two of us).
3) Hundreds of unanswered calls from my friends.
4) Breakfast for Love, some days I could not find time to cook for him.
5) Year end sale.

Aaahhh.. Too lazy to think about it. But I'm starting to keep my life back on track.

I spent my Valentine's lunch with my best friend in Uni, Mel. She's getting married this weekend, woooottttttttttttt!!! The most awaited wedding of the year for me. And she.. is the definition of a true 'bride'. So calm and serene and modest :) Tak sabar tak sabar tak sabar!




Then the week after, had lunch with another best friend, Anis. Her office was just a floor up from mine. But I haven't seen her since my housewarming until last week.

Last weekend, spent my lunch with another best friend, FJoe!!

Khaira fell asleep in her arms.

Ok, my life is back on tracck, if and only if I managed to get this other thing done..

But as of now, I would like to apologize for the missed calls and unreplied messages for the past four months. Khaira is more dependent now Insya Allah, I will try to get back my life on track :)

My Dear Warehouse Sale 2012 Review

The first thing that popped into my mind, susah gileeee nak cari tempat ni!!

No such address in Garmin. Followed Googlemap, still lost. But we found it in the end you can actually see it from the main road.

Anyway, it was not as big as Pureen warehouse. The item ranges from stroller to carseat to baby's crib to toys and even some baby clothes.

Stroller was super duper cheap! Starting price: RM90.

Carseat was so-so. Baby clothes vary from Carter's to Gap to Osh Kosh, but I was not sure whether the Osh Kosh was original or not, so I ended up not buying them.

No regrets there.

But I did buy safety gates for both our home and Mum's. Cost us RM95 each.



Overall, ok. But I guess I expected more ;p

Motherhood Expo KLCC 2012 Review

My personal review.. Tak best!

HOWEVER, among all expos we've been, this surely was the one where we spent most money on. Ironic?

Yang best..

Little Bean Food Processor, selling for half the normal price. RM150 je k!

We bought another stroller for Little Khaira, this one is for Bali. Brand: See Baby, 2.5 kg, cost us RM110 je :)



Heinz booth, baru tau Heinz pon ada jual organic food, 3 small jars for RM10. I don't really like processed food for Khaira, but untuk travelling in Bali so that it'll be easier. Tapi, kalau jumpa pisang, think I just gave her that. Though Heinz Organic is organic, it's still processed food kan.

Tapi yang berhabis beribu raban ni kat Booth Grolier..

We better make full use of it! We, as in Khaira and I. Kapal?! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Takpelah berhabis pon, Love and I rarely splurge for Khaira, but I guess there is no better way to splurge for her other than this. Insya Allah :)

Batu Pahat!!

The week before Valentine's, Love and I decided to go to Batu Pahat for our little getaway. Of course, we just had to bring our little sweetheart, Khaira Asyikin!!!~

Since there was a Liverpool's match that night, Baby Khaira dressed up in her rompers given by SIL+BIL. Hehe.


Me and my dad love Liverpool.

I was quite nervous to bring her to Batu Pahat, but she slept all the way to Batu Pahat and from BP to KL. Also, we spent a night at the Chua Soi Lek Katerina Hotel. Alhamdulillah, everything turns out great.

I did not have any green light to take her to swim in the pool, so we just brought her to the pool to chill.



Luckily there was a bathtub in the room, so she had lotsa fun swimming, sampai tergelak-gelak.

Overall, it was super duper fun, our getaway in Batu Pahat. A different kind of fun than back when there was just the two of us. Kind of like a rehearsel before we go to Bali. Khaira was so easy to entertain. Alhamdulillah.

Lepas ni, we go to Bali ok?


Loves of my life :)
