My toys

Muhammad loves lorries, bus, trucks, cranes, cars, motors... in short, anything that moves..but his favorite is lori sampah...boleh tekun belek lori sampah tu angkut sampah, sampai hilang dari pandangan..pastu dia nanges...



He also loves tools like what Handy Manny has...bila Papa buat kerja, dia la assistant yg paling sibuk...so we got him a toy set.. tp yg real punya jugak dia paling minat.

At least we know where is his interest are and what we can do to cultivate the interest... baguslah ada orang yg boleh take over Papa's skill lepas ni.

Sayang adik

Muhammad on naughty stool

Started implementing this 'time-out' method on Muhammad on Tuesday 22/10/2009. Baru sekali kami buat, dah nampak kesannya. Kerusi yang selalu dia guna utk panjat2 sana-sini, now dia tak berani pergi dekat pun... it's like the stool of no return...hehe. Because he is just 1 plus, so we put him there for 1 minute only. As expected he cried... actually I dunno why he cried because all of us were still in the room just that we ignored him. He also tried to get up once (surprisingly) but we quickly put him back there...so he continued crying as evidenced in these photos. Cukup seminit, I called him, he salam me, I kissed him and we are all good back...playing and laughing like before.

Muhammad has finally been weaned

Well here's the thing.

Muhammad was a fully breastfed baby (besar minum susu mama aje) until he was 15 months old.

At 15 months plus, we introduced formula to him as my milk was decresing badly (it was Ramadhan) and couldn't cater for his growing needs. Alhamdulillah he loved it at the first taste.

Then, roughly at 17 months, I tried to wean him off permanently. Mainly because I was feeling lethargic with the new pregnancy and needed a good rest. By that time, he was also not very keen to nurse directly as maybe my milk tasted differently (he was making a face during feeding) and I was already at a low supply so I thought it was the best decision to make.

Alhamdulillah again, it was easy for both of us. I've read horror stories about a child who refuse to wean and life was made temporarily difficult for the mom and baby.

I've never regretted that decision. Dah tertulis rezeki dia minum susu Mama sampai setakat 17 bulan aje. He never asked again after that. Well, actually ada la sekali dua dia try selak2 baju I, tapi bila I said no, he didn't cry, but instead asked for his bottle.

Tadi I saja2 offer it to him, cradling and calling him 'baby' and brought him close to the breast...he just giggled and upon smelling the nipple, made a loud YUCK sound! Cesshh..sunggeh kureng budak ini....

Saya Budak Yang Ceria

Muhammad yg manja dan cerdik

Muhammad sekarang tgh dalam peringkat yang nakal dan lasak...panjat sana, panjat sini, throw tantrums bila tak dapat apa yg dia nak, jerit kuat2...mmg nampak ciri2 hero betul.

Dia masih menangis/meraung bila Mama hantar ke rumah Ibu Yati, the babysitter. Tapi semua tu sekejap je. Once Mama dah pergi, Ibu Yati kata elok je dia main, ketawa dengan budak2 lain. Tapi kalau tengok keadaan dia sebelum tu, mmg rasa macam tak sampai hati nak tinggalkan dia, masuk kereta je dah meraung. Mmg pandai auta betul budak ni...

He is actually manja dan cerdik. Manja sangat dengan Mama, bila dah berkepit tak mau lepas dan cerdik that he knows bila dia nangis kuat2, Mama akan jadi sedih dan kesian nak tinggalkan dia... mmg Mama kena keringkan hati je nak pi kerja tu.

He also so cerdik that he understands every single words that I say to him, Ibu Yati pun said the same thing. Pagi ni Mama dukung dia masa buka almari nak pilih baju. Mama suruh dia pilihkan baju Mama, he pulled one and showed to me, Mama said no, tak cantik. Then he pulled another one and Mama took it. Bila Mama kata jom pi gosok baju dulu, he crawled to the ironing board first. What a clever boy!

Going to be 15 months soon, he's small in size, still not yet walking, not talking and gigi baru nak tumbuh. Mmg physically he's late compared to other toddlers...but Mama is not worried a single bit as he develops just fine for me.
