Alahai

Haih jenuh nak pujuk, merajuk mommy tinggal dengan Pah tak sampai 10 minit. Hadoi... berjela tangisan macam kena dera !

Makin macam macam

Dah masuk 4 bulan ni, Azra dah makin macam2. Ini antaranya:

1. Sejak dua hari lepas dah tak nak baring-baring sendiri tapi mommy atau Bak kena ribakan. Lepas tu mommy kena bacakan flash card atau baca buku. Kalau tidak Azra menjerit.

2. Sejak malam tadi dah ada pulak buat bunyi mengeram macam harimau nak serang mangsa. Bangun pagi tadi lepas tersengih pada mommy lepas mommy bagi salam bila celik mata, terus buat bunyi harimau mengeram. Kelakar!

3. Jangan mimpi nak tinggalkan Azra atas katil mommy and bak kalau nak solat atau kemana2 sebab Azra dah pandai buat move sampai ke tepi katil! Berderau darah tadi masa solat tetiba ternampak dengan anak mata yang Azra dah makin ke tepi katil. Bak, take note.

4. Dah mula tidur lewat sikit dari biasa waktu malam. Lepas tu pandai buat macam2 bunyi nak suruh mommy dan Bak layan. Tak layan, Azra jerit. Gasak.

5. Oh, sangat skillful. Sambil minum susu, boleh masuk dan selitkan ibu jari dalam mulut dan hisap ibu jari jugak. Bila Mommy nasihat, macam faham dan cuba untuk tak buat. Tapi kesian tengok Azra when she tries not to 'multitask' like that sebab macam tersiksa. Hehe..serious.

6. Ada waktu2 tertentu yang mommy dah faham Azra wants to be in the room upstairs and not on her alphabet playmat downstairs. Ni terjadi bila semua perkara wajib dan routine sudah dibuat tapi Azra masih bising. Bak, take note.

7. Mandi dalam bath tub sangat menguji sebab asyik nak buat flip dan terjunan dalam air. So kena ensure pegang kuat2. As a result, I think it is safer to put her bath tub on the floor and bathe her.

8. Biasalah, semua barang yang dipegang nak masuk mulut. Nak rasa cukup garam dan jintan ke tidak.

9. If mommy happens to be talking on the phone while Azra sits facing mommy, Azra akan renung perbuatan mommy tu macam sangat teruja. Either that or she is trying to say 'hang up, I am rite here mommy. Entertain me!'

10. Smiling facial expression Azra sangat banyak. Sangat expressive with excitement tiap kali mommy tiba depan muka Azra after I've walked away for a while. Seronok Macam sebulan tak jumpa.

11. Tangan sangat cekap tarik surat khabar yang mommy baca. Pagi tadi, I was reading the papers with her on my lap, tetiba 'shraaaaaaaaap', koyak setengah page. Hebat.

12. Yang ni betul, we cant predict which strangers will upset her because sometimes Azra copes well with unfamiliar faces. So far, we observe that Azra is still at ease with those under 12. Exceptional cases for Kalia Ayun and Iman Nurhanis. Azra still ok hehe.

13. Dah pandai exhibit her likes and dislikes by making noises. Oh jenuh jugaklah nak layan.

Ok here's a picture of Azra at her skill. Tengok ibu jari tu sedang mencari mulut. The other one tu dah penat tersadai kat playmat downstairs sampai tertidur lepas kelas Alif Ba Ta dengan mommy. A for Arnab. Arnabun :-))

Azra ke KLCC :-)

I had to get something very urgently from a shop near my old office so Bahrin took me there last Wednesday. Got what I wanted. Then kata kat Bahrin jom pi KLCC as I wanted to look for something from Toys r Us for Azra. She has sort of grown bored of the few little toys she has, ie rattle and the sorts. Jenuhlah kita nyanyi2 lagu nasyid, salawat nabi, lagu negaraku sambil bunyikan those rattles, sikit Azra tak hairan with the toys. Tapi bila dibacakan buku Alif Ba Ta, and the few soft books she has, punya excited sampai terangkat-angkat kaki (disampai syok hisap jari). Dan MC, Lovelylace Baby dan kedai2 baju baby yang sewaktu dengannya pun cuma bersebelahan TRU tu, huih, jom apa lagilah mommy dan Azra :-)

Sampai aje kami terus ke Le cucur (same ole) for late lunch. Bahrin doesn't fancy eating in other shops there dan cuma selesa dengan Le Cucur. So, Le Cucur we went. Again. I had their nasi tomato which was not bad at all, 2 ketul kueh bakar dan seketul kueh talam. Bahrin had nasi lemak (haih nasi lemak???) and kueh bakar as well as wajik. Sedap sungguh wajik tu. Tepat aje rasanya. Maklum, teman orang Perak, bila dapat wajik yang sedap kat kedai tu, amazed jugaklah kan hehe. (sorry no pictures of the food, malas).

Azra was being her usual self. Tak banyak ragam. I hold her for a while while eating and then put her in her stroller. Cik kak tu rilex aje tengok orang lalu lalang sambil kaki terangkat2.

Done with lunch, I masuklah kedai2 yang tak pernah tak Sale di KLCC tu. Syukran jazilan masih terpelihara dari membeli apa2 masa tu. Tapi sejak berbaby ni, sering tewas bila tengok baju baby. Apatah lagi cute mutenya, really spoilt for choice.

Dan akhirnya tumpas bila beli lagi baju Azra dan akhirnya tak beli toys Azra. Sebabnya baca dibawah. masabkat MC tu, Mak Teh (Bahrin's younger sis) dropped by to see Azra as her office is just up there in the Petronas Tower. And that was when Azra started acting up, nangis bila mak Teh dukung. Ingatkan nak susu so I took her to the nursing room. Tapi tak henti jugak menangis so I dukung dan dodoi, Azra diam. Bawak keluar nursing room, tengok aje mak Teh, Azra nangis balik. Oh dear, i was saying to myself, takkan Azra dah start ada 'stranger anxiety syndrome'? Sebab kat rumah pun just me, Bahrin, my mom. Hmm kena tangani segera masalah ni. But question is how? As Azra didnt wanna stop being cranky, we decided it was time to leave. Luckily Azra fell asleep rite after, so we decided to just performed solat Asar there kot nanti balik jam teruk, harulah jawabnya.

Got Azra a few tshirts and cotton trousers and since MC was on sale, got those few items at discounted price. Yeay!

Tapi dalam banyak2 tu, paling suka this cute socks yg ala-ala kasut! So far tak pernah belikan Azra kasut but she got two nice pairs as gifts earlier, so I ll just use those when the time comes. Rasa macam tak payah kot beli kasut sebab kaki cepat besar. Maybe nak raya nanti belilah kot sepasang :-) sementara ni oakai socks yg maam kasut ni hehe.

Bad Mommy!

I was walking out from my mom's room after making small chats with her for about 25 minutes tonite when I heard Azra's loud cry. I called out Azra's name and ran to our room only to find her crying out loud ( air mata berjujuran sampai basah cadar) with her body lying on her tummy and face facing down on the mattress and already a bit to the edge of the bed! Masyaallah, She was crying I guess because dia tak boleh aznak telentangkan badan dia macam asal. I guess after I left her, she sort of cuba untuk meniarap. The thing is, when I put her to sleep before i walked to my mom's room, i was sure she had fallen asleep and as i thot of co-sleeping with her until her Bak is back from his weekly usrah, (which normally will be as late as 1 or 2 am) Idecided to put her on our bed. Ohhhhh i feel like giving a good big knock on my head (which I did anyway by slapping my own peha) while trying to console Azra. It took me a few minutes to pacify her. I cuddled her and zikir the usual asma' to her, and repeatedly said i was sorry for not hearing her cry much earlier. she slowly stopped crying and gave me that look yang, yang... Ya Allah , buat rasa bersalah dan menyesal sangat. She finally fell asleep less than 10minutes aftet that. Haihhhh.....Kalau Bak tau bila balik nanti mesti he maraaah maarahh mommy. Kesian Azra, tak taulah dah berapa lama she cried before I finally realized :-(

Azra Sufiah's Feeling A little Under the Weather

I guess it was a result of the hot weather last Saturday during her aqeqah that Azra was down with some cough since monday and started to have runny nose last nite. Took her to two doctors (biasalah mommy and Bak xtravaganza terlebih risau) padahal Azra ceria aje altho her cough looked a tad too much for her at times. Kesian. Alhamdulillah she is ok, tak demam altho selsema dan batuk. May Allah SWT protect her from demam sebab kalau demam , mommy pun mesti demam kerisauan.

Azra's first visit to the orphanage

Been busy like a bumble bee past two weeks. Haven't got the time to do an update. However glad that we took Azra for her first a visit to the orphanage in Taman Maluri last week. The little brothers and sisters there were happy to see us too. Here's sharing some pictures first :-) More updates later or perhaps next week!

Azra's Closet

I was going thru Azra's 3 tier chest drawer this morning. I cant put in anything in there anymore. *Hint! Hint! Mana Bak ni....* ;-)

Azra turned 3 Months Young!

Azra turned 3 months last Saturday, 5/5. But it conveniently slipped off my mind and I only remembered about it much later in the day. Azra's Bak said "oh yes I know and of course I remembered" when I asked if he remembered about it. Sabar ajelah, bukan nak remind mommy yg super bz nowadays ni eheh.

And oh Azra is urely getting smarter by day. We realized she had this new habit of sucking on her knuckles which started about a month back. The cutest part is rhat Azra wont really suck her knuckles in our presence sebab maluuuuu you! Haha. She wud either do it discreetly when we are not looking or she wud just put her knuckles to her mouth and lick em quietly! Hehe. Kadang kesian tengok betapa kuatnya urge nak hisap jari tapi terpaksa tahan sebab segan kat orang keliling. Both me and Azra's Bak have learnt when we shud leave Azra alone so that she cud go on enjoy sucking em knuckles.My mom dok suruh bagi puting tapi I memang dont have the intention to introduce puting to Azra.

So here are some of the things Azra has perfected as she turned 3 mths :-)

1. Noticed that azra's head control is better developed and able to view her surroundings.
2. Azra is more expressive, for instance she wud smile and gigle out loudly at me
upon being greeted when she wakes up in the morning!
3. Bila excited, Azra wud wriggle her hands, and legs and sort of squeal kat kita wt her abundant smile. Oh it just melts me!
2. Azra loves being held upright with her facing the public (depending on her current mood hehe).
3. Azra does a lot of baby talk!
4. Azra is able to shift her position across the bed! Now this one is a bit worrying as Azra co-sleep with me and her Bak at times, takut Azra ends up under our pillows!
5. Azra is able to reach her hands out to attempt to touch stuff.
7. Dah pandai menangis yg macam merengek bila lambat dapat susu!

Ha tulah antara benda yg Azra dah pandai buat sekarang! And oh, I do not have to use the syringe anymore to feed her plain water as she knows how to suck the bottle already :-)

And oh, Azra can really squeal in delight when we read to her! It's amazing at how excited she cud get when she hears us reading to her.

So we got her more books when we were at the KL International Book fair last week:

Semanis Kalia Ayun!!

So ok, I have not been blogging for the past 1,500 years! But eversince Azra Sufiah came into our life, I have been thinking if I shud start doing it again. My husband suggested that we get our lovely niece Kalia Ayun to help create the blog and oh my, Kalia did it in less than a few hours! clap clap clap.

So this first entry is dedicated especially to Kalia with a big huge thanks for getting the blog up and running. I am sure in time, Kalia and perhaps her sister Nisha Anggun and maybe also another lovely niece Nadiah Yasmin wud be able to help fine tune this blog!! hehe

Thanks again Kalia. Love ya :-) I am sure as Azra grows up, she will learn to appreciate what her dear cousins had started for her :-)
