Strep Throat

Not me, not the husband. But the little guy. I was shocked when the Doctor said that to me yesterday. Hamza has throat infection. *ingatkan demam nak tumbuh gigi je. Anyways, yesterday was abit chaotic for me because I had to look after Hamza. His last recorded temperature was 38 Degree. Dia pernah demam sebelum nih. Same symptoms.. High grade fever, no cough, no cold. But this time, he has diarrhoea as well. So, the infection confirms the diarrhea. 

But, that is not all u see. It's alot more than to just live the day with a sick child. As for myself, I am a working mummy. I work 8-5pm everyday and I am not complaining. Infact, I love what I am doing. *walaupon gaji tak sebesar mana. But, I work in a Hospital. Dan I deal with all the Intensive Care Units. U name it. CCU, ICU, NICU, HDW, and Burn Unit. And ICU alone can make me go home late everyday. Usaikan lagi yang lain lain di atas. 

U'd think that it's easier to take leave if the child is not well. wrong. They will kejar you, make you feel bad for not going to work. Esok cuma mock accreditation. What's the point of having it if kita ni dah tip top sangat? This is the time to know which area or where we are lacking. correct? No? 

But, I have promised my boss that I will make sure that everything will be ready for tomorrow. I hope Hamza will be better today and tomorrow. *Esok baba dia jaga dia coz I had to come in to work tomorrow. sedih kan? But, it's okay. Demi kerja. ye x?

Kadang-kadang I wished I am a stay at home mom! But, come to think of it again, I dont wan't to be a SAHM. I'd just put my degree to waste.  So, okay. I have to get some work done.

When the lions roar!!!!

Enjoy Hamza and His Lion in action!!

Tadaa!!

  

Walking with his Lion

  

tergelak- gelak

 

 ala.. terlanggar dinding!

 

Dahla tu Mama. Hamza penat..

Walk baby...

Yes. I think he'll start standing and walking soon. But, I don't know how soon, soon is. We bought him a trike walker a month ago. I wouldn't say he hated it. But, he was not so interested to use it, like stand and push it around. He was more interested in pressing the lion's nose, because it the lion sings and the nose will light up when u press on it. Hahahaha.. And believe it or not, he preferred his high chair over the lion. 

My favourite highchair

:)

aiyaaaahhh.. bangun baby!

 I am Standing Mama!!

I want to walk!

 Hamza pushing his highchair

My son started standing when he was 5 months plus close to 6 months. But, I think he's taking his own time to strengthen his jelly feet. No rush baby.. No rush.. But I am happy with his progress.

Last night, his Tok Babah held him by his hands and walked with him round the table. This little simba here shrieked in excitement. But then it was his dinner time. So, after completing 1 round around the table his Tok Babah gave him to me. And you guessed??

HE CRIED!!

I asked his Tok Babah to walk with him again, and he smiled and laughed almost immediately and throughout his 'walk' with his Tok Babah. ahahaha. 

Take him to his Lion bah, I said.

And true enough. Hamza stood and started pushing it around and making all sorts of weird sounds or shriek  at the same time. He was super excited. He refused to stop pushing his Lion. He made rounds and rounds of walking with his Lion. Hahahaha.. Cute! We will have to give extra encouragement to Hamza.

Anyways, I know he's going to turn 11 month soon. But, No rush baby. Mama and Baba loves you so much. So, to those who reads this blog, if you have a child/children, when did your child started walking? Share la sekali.

He went Sugar High!

I was performing my solat, when I heard Hamza playing with some plastic bags. I was worried. 'Dapat plastic bag apa la si kenit ni' I said in my heart. After I finished my prayers, I found him doing this!!!!

He was busy munching the candies and its wrappers!! OMG!! Bahaya!!! But, I maintained calm. I checked his mouth. Tiada apa-apa. And the fact that he was too busy wanting to munch on the candy wrapper again, I let him. I did found an unwrapped candy on the floor. Cepat-cepat makan! sebelom this little guy finds it! Yeah. Look what sort of mess he's created in our room!

Look at me mama!!! I am eating chocolate mama!

One for you mama!

sedap mama!!

 

 kirai kirai!!

mama!! come play with me!

That's how he looked like after having had some candies. Heyyy anak aku! hahahha.. he looked so cute. I so can't get enough of this photo! loves..

Baby Steps

 Hamza Jatuh Katil... LAGI! :(

Yes and i am not kidding. It was an incredible week for all of us, including Hamza. He fell off the bed, AGAIN (yeah, i know what's on your mind already but let me just finish this off) and this time, i panicked. He was asleep when i left him. thing is, the bed is only some 5 steps away from the dining table (room is right next to the dry kitchen) I dah kepung-kepung him with bantal, although i know it wasn't enough. And yes, I underestimated him. I thought he'd sleep longer. I was dead wrong. I even left the door ajar. Unfortunately.. :( And then, 'the cry'! My mother was 'Hamza jatuh katil!!! Oh no!!' true enough, I found him on the floor and crying in pain. Worse, his nose was bleeding. It didn't bled out, but you could see that there were blood in his nostrils. I panicked! *seb baik husband tenang sikit. We just had to take him to hospital. We brought some ice to cold compress the nose. Alhamdulillah, Hamza is fine. We took him home.

 By the time we reached home, He was already feeling and cheerful and excited. I was traumatised! I don't dare to put him on the bed. So i put him in the cot. Much to our surprise, Hamza started to stand in his cot. Sila rujuk 3 gambar terakhir dalam previous entry. Ye, dia baru baik dari jatuh katil. And, he just refused to sit. Ada incidents dia terhantuk hidung kat cot. Hmmm. But we couldn't do much. We could only observe him, because he was just so determined and excited. All of these happened just 3 days before he turned 7 months. Alhamdulillah.

My little baby is a big boy and very determined, i can see. Since that day, whenever i put him in his cot, he'd reach out for the side of the cot and pull himself up. He'd play with his reflections in the mirror, talk to his reflections, laugh a bit and when he's tired, he'd make small cries. Mintak tolong make him sit/ carry him. Clever. When i pray, i'll put him on the floor right next to me. A few days ago, he would just sit and kadang-kadang pegang my telekung. Now? He's found joy in making a mess. He'd pull his toy basket or worse, he'd pull out all his creams and botol minyak out of its bakul. And to date, he's polished up his crawling skills. Ye sudah LAJU!!! and best of all, He can already go round his cot (meniti). My mother says, he'll make small cries when he's tired and wants to sit or when he couldn't get something (e.g. bila ada bantal/ comforter dah bergulung and dia xboleh crawl) But whenever he was able to overcome the problems, he'd smile gleefully and cheer for himself. Amazing. My son. Other than that, he has also started to express his likes and dislikes and wants. And he too understands us. *susah nak explain disini.  Buat-buat je la faham ye? :)

Yes, of course i am happy with Hamza's incredible developments. Everyday, i'd gloom for having to leave Hamza for work. I wish i can be there for him all the time. Tapi, this is life. And I thank Allah for all the blessings. I so enjoy being a mommy! Walau begitu, I believe that lain babies, lain personality and lain development. For Hamza's case, He has 2 other cousins of the same age. Ye, Hammam and Ameer Muadz. And Alhamdulillah, the family tidak membezakan any of them. We enjoy them infact. I love to share mummy-baby experiences with my sisters. And i hope, when Hamza and his cousins (mama's and baba's side) dah besar, they'll love each other just like brothers and sisters. 

Okay, till then. Toodles.

 

 Smile baby!

 My little Imam?

Hamza's amazing progress

Hamza, our son started to turn (with confidence) only when he was 4 1/2 months. Still, he wasn't so comfortable lying on his tummy for long. Then, he learned to turn back to lying-on-his-back position. Alhamdulillah. I was happy to see his physical developements. On top of that, he can properly focus and grab anything in his way. He loves the TV remotes. huhu

At 5 1/2 months, he can flip/turn easily and has started to pull himself forward. *engsot-engsot je.. My husband came home saying that his colleagues daughter has started to crawl. Sometimes it hit me, slow ke anak aku? But, we decided not to push Hamza too hard just because anak orang lain dah boleh crawl. We should encourage him instead and we did.  When he was about to turn 6 months, he started to i shall say.. be in a crawling position. dia goyang kedepan kebelekang sikit.. laugh abit and do it again. He could also stabilize himself to properly sit. 

 

Hamza, duduk dengan jaya :)

2 week later, He tried to bring himself to sit from his crawling position. And he managed to achieve that too! Owh, alhamdulillah. My baby is a big boy now. He grows so fast! :) 6 months 3rd week, Hamza started to crawl. Dapatla setapak dua. he flips faster now and he loves to play!

 

crawl baby..

Today, 1 week before turning 7 months, he started to stand!! in his cot!! started out with him standing on his knees.. calling out for mama and baba. hehehe..

 

 on his knees

And then,this!

struggling hard!

5 minutes later!

dah berdiri!!

Aih, i love being a mommy!! i love to see Hamza grow. :) Now that he's alot more mobile, i really have to make sure that he's safe all the time. I love my little family! Thank you Allah!
