First Trip to Swimming Pool

It’s a first trip Luffy and hubby going to the swimming pool. Well for hubby, it’s the first time he dipped into our apartment’s swimming pool. We’ve been staying here for 1 year and 4 months but he never got chance to play in that pool. For me, it’s my 3rd time. Every time my family visiting, the munchkins sure will go play in the pool and I join the crew. The munchkins (nieces and nephew)

We did buy the float jacket for Luffy, but he was too small. When we put him with the float jacket, he looks stuck inside and very uncomfortable. Once he touched the pool floor with his feet, he struggles to remove himself from the float jacket. Oh, he really has a good time in the pool. After spending about 30 minutes in the pool, we took him out but he refused. I really need to use up some energy to get the little Luffy out from the pool. This is only to introduce him to the pool and I don’t want him to get sick by spending too long in the pool. Unfortunately he did catch flu that night, but not a serious one.

Hubby and his new assistant

My hubby got a new assistant to help him with the grocery work. Little Luffy is very keen with the trolley. He will push the trolley, any trolley that he stumbled on. This happened a few times at the store where I have to apologize because he simply push other people trolley. He would cry if we stop him or if the trolley wouldn't to move.
See this video, Luffy helping hubby pushing trolley to car. On the way back he did push this fully loaded trolley. However he still need assistance on the direction :)

My son at 1 year 3 months old.

Time passed so fast, and Luffy is already 1 year ++. Alhamdullilah, syukur kepada Allah :D. I hope I can be a good mother for Luffy and I hope I gave, give and will give the BEST for him. He is 78 cm tall and 9 kg weight. This is based on the recent check-up data. According to the nurse, Luffy is lightly underweight. His ideal weight should 10.5kg to 12 kg. The nurse advise to give Luffy adult food instead of porridge. But the problem, Luffy reject the adult food, he prefer porridge because its soft and he dont have to do lots of work :)

And he know how to dance with the music too. Check this out!! Sorry, need to twist head again...

Luffy starts walking

My little angel has started walking on his own at the age of 1 yr and 1 month.



My apology that you have to twist your head to view this because I do not know how to edit this video file.

I'm quite excited also that my little angle is no longer a baby, he is a toddler now. I should be patient with him these days, now that he'll make much more mess than ever. Well, I keep on reminding myself that this is part of growing up and my Luffy is a normal boy. Alhamdulillah :)

Luffy starts eating the solids.

Since Luffy is officially six month it is recommended to introduce solid to him. Actually I wanted to introduce him much earlier, but after doing some reading I decided to wait until Luffy reach six month old. I bought two baby meal sets, one to bring to nursery and one for home. I bought a Fisher Price highchair on 50% discount and I’m glad, Luffy seems content when I put him on the highchair.

So far, I haven’t started cooking solid food for Luffy. However I did plan to do so, just need to do some shopping for correct materials and tools. I did checked few recipes on the web, and really look yummy. Check out this website http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/. A lot of tips on how to introduce solid, recipes and tips. So for the mean time, only store food available for luffy 

The first food that Luffy had really trigged anxiety both my husband and I. We are and both anxious to see how Luffy react to his first food. As for Luffy himself, he is very excited to the new experience. One scoop is not enough. Always asking for more. I let him eat rice cereal for 4 days and see his reaction. Alhamdullilah, no food allergy.

Since then, we have given Luffy all sorts of half solid food. Luffy seems to enjoy food very much. It is always a pleasure to see Luffy facial expression as I introduced all sorts of taste to Luffy. Flavors like Rapsberry, orange and apple really gave little Luffy some level of “sourface”. Hehe.

I tried to discipline Luffy by setting his meal time around my lunch and dinner time. Customarily, I will feed him with his formula milk an hour prior to the meal time. Then his meal time is either before or after mine meal time. During my meal time, Luffy will sit on his highchair participate in the family quality time. Sometime I’ll provide his meal plate and spoon, so he can act like eating. But most of the time, he’ll knocked the plate with the spoon and cried when those fell down, maybe as a sign asking for help to get those back.

It so much fun to see and have Luffy joining us suring meal time.


Yum! Yum!

Luffy like his highchair

Luffy's first food

Happy SIX months Birth Day Luffy!!!

It's been sometime for me being stuck with my workload and housechores that left me no time to update my blog. "Feeble excuse", people might say, but it is true. However, there are lots of things happened around me since my last entry. Hopefully I able to find time to put those in words :). My little angel is already six months old. Alhamdullilah, he is healthy and develop a few skills like other normal kids. He is much more stronger and much fun to play with. I already introduced solid to him. (This will be written in the next entry). He is so active and really make use of his hand and feet. He'll touches everything near him. I think its the time for him to explore the world. So to be a good mother, I have to make sure the area within his reach should be clean and free from sharp object.

Sleep time also has been hard. He can't sleep with us anymore on the bed. There high possibility he might fell down. It happened once when Luffy sleep with me and at 5 pm, I woke up I heard he cried. I heard hubby preparing his milk. Then I just let he cried, but the cry become more intense. I woke up and check Luffy is not beside me. OMG!! He fell down, pity my little boy. He cried for help but nobody came. I checked his head and body, luckily no injury or swollen mark. After he got his milk, he went back to sleep. The next night, I monitor Luffy is so wild when sleeping at night. When he woke up at night for milk time, he already switch position. Now his head already at my feet. He really can't sleep on our bed. We did put him on his bed, but he seems doesn't get good sleep. He tend to wake-up more frequently at night. Well, its almost a time for Luffy to settle on his own room.


Luffy is so excited with the balloon.

See!!I put both his hand behind his back, so he can keep quiet. It only last for sometime :)

Luffy's Progress

Luffy is 4 month 4 weeks. Next week hubby and I will go for his 5 months check up and looks like he is going to get his jab this time. For this month, here are Luffy’s achievements and progress so far..

1)He can roll-over from both sides; left and right and sometime he can make few roll-over. Now I cannot put him on the bed unattended. Putting him on his comfortable also is a bad idea; his comforter is small, and thick. When he rolled over sometime he knocked his head on the floor. So I have to use my own comforter. Even with my own comforter, sometime he can go beyond it, so I have to check him regularly.

He need bigger space to play now

2)He starts teething already. He likes to chew his toy, even his bottle teat; after he’s satisfied he will chew the teat. I got him a few theeter, but he seems to chew all his toys including the hard one.

The rattle teether sure looks tasty

3)He likes to speak with only his understood language. Sometimes the pitch is soft, normal and loud. After he came back from day care center, I let him played on his own. While I busy cooking, I can hear his loud pitch from the kitchen, making my house so lively.

4)He giggle and laugh on when we raspberry him especially on his tummy and underarm. He favors few words like ‘gaga’, ‘cak’ , Aboo, hubby noticed this because when he utter those words, Luffy smiles and laughed.

5)He is a good listener. He lay quietly on my lap when I read him story or sing nursery song to him.

6)He can’t sit or behave properly during bath time. He will turn here and there when I apply bath lotion and shampoo or when put in his bath tub.

7)He cannot sit on the bouncer unattended. He’s too hyperactive and I’m afraid he might fell off the bouncer.

8)He drinks a lot lately. But hubby and I still decide to introduce solid to him at 6 months. So we have to endure waking up at night few times to feed him. Last month check-up his weight was 6.8 kg and the graph shows he is on the good track.

p/s These are the progress that I can remember at this time, I will add more if I can recalled :D

Luffy at Week 21.

Shahir, my cousin was admitted to Hospital due to eyes infection. According to doctor is due to improper cleaning or usage of contact lens. Eyes are very sensitive organ and we need to take good care of it since we need to use it for lifetime. So last weekend, I was quite busy with hospital activity.

The milestone for Luffy at 41/2 month now was that he can bring up his feet and but to get out from the stroller. We were at Giant eating KFC, me and hubby was busy enjoying our 3.30pm lunch. I put Luffy in the stoller and he played with his napkin. Suddenly I noticed Luffy brought up his feet and butt to get out from the stroller. OMG!! my baby is already big and strong. I quickly tight the stroller belt to secure him getting out from the stroller. I manage to take this photo.
