Sama tak serupa?

Don't they look alike? The first picture is of 'Aatikah and the second picture is Sa'eed when he was about the same age. The nose definitely looks the same, but Sa'eed was definitely chubbier. I looked up his records and he was already a whopping 7.3 kg while 'Aatikah is 'only' 6.7 kg. Both don't have much hair and I think Sa'eed has a cheekier grin while 'Aatikah has a more girlish smile.

woot woot

After the previous 'naik bakul angkat sendiri' post, I have yet another basket to lift. We went to Tesco on Monday (the kids were angels on that day) and walked by a store that had a weighing machine outside. So of course we took the chance to weigh ourselves.

Husband was of course same old same old, but I on the other hand have lost half a kilo...woo hoo.. I shall not say 500 grams, but I shall say half a kilo because it sounds more...hehe

On another note, Sa'eed's eczema is getting better alhamdulillah. We went to the pead and she gave us Fucicort. Looks like it worked on Sa'eed. And he's constantly wearing socks. Syiok pulak dia pakai socks dalam rumah. If I forget to put on socks for him, he'll look for a pair and try to put it on himself. Sa'eed now is getting picky and indecisive with his food. Kejap nak, kejap taknak. But the best way to get him to drink his milk is put it in a cup and pretend to be drinking it...then he'll totally drink it...haha

'Aatikah on the other hand is very interactive, more than Sa'eed when he was this age. She has started to bat at the toys hanging from her playgym, yg tepi tepi je lah. She laughs when Abah tickles her (Abah claims he's the only one who can make her laugh...heh). Just this morning she flipped over and slept meniarap. But of course before we left for work I had to flip her over coz she can't turn from front to back yet. And that totally woke her up. I think she is oh so cute. Kenal pukul ngan abang pun nangis teresak-esak.

Below are some pictures from Treats that Kak Sarah took.

You can almost see the twinkle in the boy's eyes :)

Bam bam...heh

Wait...whaaaat??

Muahahahaha.

The joys of working in KLCC. Went to Isetan to look at some nice pants to wear at home. I've gone down FOUR..I repeat...FOUR dress sizes!!

I was a 14 before (when I was studying in the States circa 2006) and I'm a 10 now (longgar lagi tuu)...muahahahhahaha

Ke cutting seluar tu besar ek?

But didn't buy anything since I had to rush back to work.

Updates!

At 3 months, 'Aatikah can:
- Flip over!! Terkezut betul. I'm not quite sure if it was a fluke but she flipped over twice from back to front on Saturday morning. She was just rolling her body and I guess inertia got in the way and she rolled the whole way. Sa'eed didn't even try to flip till he was five months (tapi dia heavyweight sikit...heh)
- Smile. So very the cute! Once, she actually let out a small laugh like haha punye ketawa and that was pretty amusing, but she hasn't done it again. Now it's just cute sighs.
- Call out for people to keep her company. She'd go ai ai ai till someone comes and talks to her. I see a talkative girl in the making....heh
- See things a bit further.
- Hold her head steady when carried upright...but of course ada terlentok.
- Poop loudly!
- Demand to be carried, then demand for the carrier to walk around.

What's the story on Sa'eed, who is 21 months:
- Added some new words: gigi -> we were sitting down and suddenly he went gigigigi and pointed to his teeth, boooo-ah -> but pointing to flowers.
- Doesn't really like milk anymore, not even my EBM. So now we're giving him soya milk plus sometimes we try to give him fresh milk in the small boxes...but oh so not cost effective ok
- Looks like Mawi with his hair-style.
- Can help around with chores. He has vacuumed, tumbuk bawang, swept the floor and load the washing machine...hehe
- Likes to climb more. Once I caught him climbing up the dining table to get a banana.
- Likes to peek out the window and look at the kids play at the playground.
- He runs a lot and trips a lot too.
- Can eat on his own and use a spoon effectively. But of course it gets messy. If he is eating with a spoon, he will bend over till his nose almost touches the plate to get the food in his mouth...and he won't eevn let me lift the plate higher so that he won't have to bend so much.

Cheeky Boy!

Just look at the boy's face. I ripped this off of Kak Sarah's flickr....hehe. This was at some pizzaria in Bangi. It was my first time eating out after confinement.

I want food! Where's my food?

Cepatla, I'm hungry. Do I need to look cute before you feed me?

Mmmm...yummy yummy creamy spaghetti.

Happy Happy Happy!

Monday

I had a workshop at the Convec yesterday with some Mat Salleh consultants. It was of course very boring and I even wrote notes on what to write on this blog...yep...it was that boring. But anyways, I dunno what's up with these Mat Sallehs. They tend to look down on us and talk to us like we don't understand english.

At the registration table the lady was talking to me like I was signing up for elementary english classes. Hel....lo. How......are......you? Break.....fast......is.....o....ver....there.

It was very annoying I tell you. They were loud and they talked slowly. And this one consultant would make it a point to update anyone who's late one-on-one. She would edge up to that person and be like an inch away from their faces to explain what's going on. I could see that my male colleagues were pretty uncomfortable. Kalau minah tu hot, takpe la jugak...hahaha.

One other consultant looked like she had too much botox treatment. But oh well, they're people too, so enough about them.

Later that evening after work, we hauled off to OU coz hubby wanted to buy new shoes for his game today. Punyelah susah nak carik kasut. Asyik takde size aje. But at last he found a pair that he liked. Sa'eed on the other hand has started to tunjuk belang. He would run off and if I catch him and start to drag him away, he would sit on the floor and crouch over. Macam la ummi dia tak kuat nak angkat...heh.

I'm glad 'Aatikah is still at the stage where she can only lie down in the stroller. And she was on her best behavior yesterday. Didn't make much of a fuss and fell asleep on her own in the stroller. It was nice not have to bulldoze through our dinner once in a while.

Oh ye, Sa'eed added one more word to his vocab.
*clap*clap*clap*....gooooooooaaallll....

Hehe...sometimes he would leave out the L sound. And he would also say it while watching badminton and volleyball, not limited to soccer. Happy la Abah nye.

Sa'eed's new look

Tengah syiok sendiri orang amik gambar dia. This is Sa'eed's new hair-do. I think he looks kinda cute. Not that he wasn't cute before. But all that wispy rempit-like hair was getting annoying during bedtime coz it would tickle my nose.






This is the ONLY picture I have of the kids together. Tak berani I nak amik gambar and not have a free hand to stop Sa'eed from poking, prodding or whacking 'Aatikah. In this picture Sa'eed is shrieking from excitement sbb Ummi dah lama tak snap pictures.
