Life as in Instagram

My second attempt in planting these – pokok daun pandan & daun kari

My number three turns four

Raising up a baby for the third time definately has taught me few lessons. One very obvious lesson is every child is different and the same can be said for all three of my pregnancy too. This little M boy, well he is the impatient one.The one who came to the world a tad too early..but nevertheless survived (alhamdulillah) and now are healthy 6 kilos at four months old.

However little M is a quiet baby, he will only make noise (read:cry his hearts out) if he could no longer wait to be fed or need his sleep.Otherwise he is fine on his own self entertaining sucking his fingers or staring at his sister and brother fighting! haha

happy four month old Mukhriz darling!

A year to be thankful

Before we end our 2012, we held a small and intimate majlis akikah for my baby Mukhriz. It was on a beautiful Saturday morning, on 22nd of December.

We had two kambing golek, yummy lauk pauk and coconut jelly. There were about twenty marhaban ladies who came to officiated the event. Thankfully the weather was kind to us, it was sunny in the afternoon then it was drizzling quite a bit  but just for awhile later back to glorious sun.

My three month-ish boy.

Dah chubby skit dah dia

Uhuh..my very “helpful” children

For this special occasion, I’m quite happy I manage to squeeze the little time that I had to make something for my youngest boy. A handmade mini jubah for him, the hot air balloon mobile hang on the cradle and the cloud pillows. Of course all was not done in a day, took me two weeks to get it all planned, prepared and sew up. The idea of all white and whimsical decoration came when I was pondering in my craft room and it clicked me when I was staring at my own curtain – that is full of hot air balloons and clouds.

Ever so curious kids

My cute niece Sarah  & Mike. Haha so cute la these two!

“THIS is the way to take snap photo laaaa” HAHA

Ayoo ..it seems someone is busy with his new ip5

It was indeed a very eventful year for us all, felt almost like a year being pregger, got admitted to the hospital twice before actually went into labour. But all was good, alhamdullilah. And just today, we went for Mia’s school orientation. My girl is going to a big school.Oh wow! Feels surreal! I can’t believe my eldest is all grown up and ready to be a year one student in a big big school.

Anyhow I can’t wait what is instill for me in the next year. I pray to be always blessed by the Al-Mighty. InshaAllah.

Have a great awesome new year peeps and happy holiday 🙂 X

 

The rest of the pictures will be uploaded in flickr like always.

Running in Flats

How does some mothers (especially with small kids ) walks in high heels? And by that I mean in a shopping mall, from one end to the other. Not sure to either salute you moms or cringe. I think its the latter.

On most days I’m with my flats. It’s comfy and easy on my feet. Very important when you need to handle kids on your own when out & about. As of now, I’m officially a stay at home mom. So thankful my boss approved my extended leave. Actually it has been almost a month+ and this extension leave is until this year end.Gotta make full use of it.

As much I’m loving this extra hour with my kids, its not all a bed of roses. Occasionally Mia and Mike does drives me up the wall, with their bickering with each other, mess up the house and being plain difficult. During those times, I just pray their father to come home quickly and hand them to him. Yes I do get “I don’t like when mommy is so moody and fierce , daddy … ”  So on some days, I tried to chillax and bring them outside for ice-creams, and mommy gets her fix of desserts heh.

Talking about taking them out, I’ve survived going out with my children. Yes, that includes  with my newborn baby. Thank goodness for the love of babywearing, Mukhriz can sleep soundly in the ringsling while I push Mike in the stroller. It helps that Kakak Mia is very understanding and independent too. On a good outing day I reward them with chocolates/ice-creams/toys/books. Once awhile, when we do go out together it keeps me sane rather than all of us being cooped up at home. Housework is a neverending work, sure it wont’ kill you.. but why take the chance? Step outside and take a breather. 🙂

Coming this December I have planned out some activities to keep them occupied – lotsa playground time, visit to the library, museum, arts & craft time and catch up some movies, be it at home or the cinema. I hope this is not too ambitious to materialize it. We shall see about it.

Have a great weekend peeps. And bring it on December 😉
