Bertemu Kembali!

OOoooOOOOo..lama gile tak update blog. Dah bersawang dah ni.

Ever since I started working in Astro, mmg masa sangat terhad for aktiviti2 membuang masa mcm memblogging ni. Busy busy busy!

Sofea is already 2 1/2 yrs old. Dah masuk kategori anak dara dah.. Byk nak update psl Sofea ni, dunno where to start.

She is more feminine now..suka Barbie dodoll, suka Disney Princess esp Ariel and Cinderella

She talks a lot too..no surprise there..gene Ayah dia. Now dia suka randomly tunjuk to something and ask "Apa tu? Apa tu?" banyak2 kali sampai mama nak muntah jawab.

She is tall compares to any toddlers her age..sbb byk minum Sustagen perhaps?

Dia juga suka main terkejut-terkejut dgn Cik Ni dia...Cik NI sergah, dia "Oh, terkejut Yaya!!"

In short..she is more and more adorable as she grew. I can't get enough of kissing her and hugging her!
Rasa nak ada 10 lagi Sofea..hmmm..

Let's balik kampung bersama Sofea!

We decided to visit my tok mek and tok ayah in kota bharu sbb mmg dah lama tak kesana. Lagipun encik suami tak pernah menjejak kaki ke tanah Newcastle ni..

So, kitorg berkira2 samaada nak drive balik or naik kapal terbang..drive mmg save byk sbb naik flight utk 2 org 1 infant pun dah kena rm 600++. Tp memandangkan perjlnan yg jauh dekat 9 jam (blm masuk byk2 pit stop sofea nak berak la, sofea nak berlari2 ambik angin la...), so kitog gagahkan diri utk melubangkan poket beli tiket airasia.

Sambil2 tu mama berdoa byk2 agar piya tak meragam dan buat hal dlm kapal terbang...

Day 1: OTW to KB..bangun pagi2 buta nak kejar check in flight pukul 10am. Sampai LCCT piya dah meragam ngantuk. Mama gi toilet pun takleh, dia ngamuk sakan...ok, kasi tido...tido nyenyak sampai la tiba waktu nak boarding. Dia bangun tp still bad mood tahap gaban. So, umpan dia kasi good mood dgn cokelat pelbagai jenis..harusla terbeliak bijik mata dia tgk coklat best2 sambil berkata "Wowww!".

Naik plane, dia dah mkn cokelat2 itu dgn lahapnya..mama lak tak monitor tahap kelahapan anak dara dia sorang ni. Tau2 exactly nak terbang tu, time takleh nak buka tali keledar dah ni...dia muntah membuak2..bau tengit toksah cakap la. mama tahan je, habis baju mama dgn piya kena muntah.

SABAR..



Mama dan Sofea yg berbau busuk sempat memberikan pose istimewa depan kapal terbang..

Day 2: Lepak2 di kampung halaman bersama tok mek, tok ayah dan tok2 sedara piya. Pergi machang jenguk cik ni dgn mak ngah. Seronok sofea dpt main dgn anak2 kucing. Suka betul dia. Ayah, bila kitorg peminta tegar kucing gebus2 ni dapat bela kucing?? Ayah jahat tak kasi bela...huhu

Day 3: Jln2 KB. hehe..mlm before dah kuar survey2 mana nak pi shopping. Sampai KB, piya tido..so decide jln dulu kt parkson (mcm la KL takde parkson kan?). Jln2 shopping sampai dia dah bangun..kitog gi naik pasar siti khadijah tu. Harusla memborong kain2 pasang yg cantik2 itu..byk la baju kurung mama yg vogue2 nanti!

Pastu kitog gi bwk sofea tgk laut. Sayang PCB takleh mandi..kalau tak dah lama kitorg anak beranak kebasahan mandi laut.

Ayah dan piya bermesra di tepi laut..sweet kan gambar ni, mcm tukang ambik gambar tu jugak!


Day 4: Hari utk pulang ke KL. Keaadaan semasa di airport seperti biasa..sofea tiada membuat perangai yg pelik2..baik budaknya..

HAHAHA...

Masa nak dekat landing KL ni...dia menangis meraung sekuat hati sehingga mat salleh sebelah seat kitorg dah pandang slack. HEL-LO sir...when u hv kids on your own, you'll get it. Aku paham, telinga dia sakit kot pasal pressure...dah try buat mcm2, tutupkan telinga dia, tp tak berhasil. Mmg dia nangis tahap teresak2...kesian sofea.


So itulah dia pengalama pertama sofea naik kapal terbang. Walaupun sejam, mama serik weih! Tunggu piya besar sikit la br berani bwk awak naik kapal terbang lagi ok..so, for now..kita jln2 cuti2 malaysia dekat2 je.

Next nak gi mana ayah? nampaknya takde chance gi bandung or bali dgn keadaan dia mcm ni...huhuhu

Ini la dia budak 'spoiler' naik kapal terbang tu..hahaha..I LOVE U SAYANG!

Kenapa jalan berjengket?

Sofea jalan berjengket ala supermodel pakai kasut tumit tinggi. Ikut sapa tu? Mama dgn ayah takde berjengket masa baby. Mak tok kata ikut Uncle Amin. why la dlm byk2 uncle auntie, my yaya ikut uncle amin?? hehehe

Mak tok kata it's hereditary...ntah la..ada ke scientific explanation abt this? I hope it;s nothing to be worried about.

Apa lg perkembangan Sofea?

hmmm..she can run, tp not that fast, mama masih blh kejar hahaha.

She called everyone "bikkkk" even though penat nak betulkan dia to call me "Mama" and to call her father "Ayah". Kadang2 dia rasa nak panggil, baru la panggil 'Mama".

She lurveesss cats..and other animals too, tp semua jenis binatang pun dia panggil miaow..hahahaha!

Sofea's dictionary:
1) Bikkk - mama, ayah, bibik
2) abam - abang
3) kaka - kakak
4) baby - baby la...tang ni clear pulak sebutannya
5) miaow - ALL animals yg hidup di darat maupun dlm akuarium
6) mimik, mamik - milk
7) mama - mama la (bangga ni)
8) putu putu putu... (repeat byk kali) - I hv no idea, ada sesapa blh tlg translate?
9) wow! - bila excited atau impress tgk sesuatu seperti air tembikai yg enak, lampu2 cantik etc
10) nak - nak
11) nanak - tak nak (cakap sambil menggeleng kepala)
12) tetek - paham sendiri la, ye..
13) bye bye - bye la...aparaa
14) habish dah - habis dah, sampai dah
15) atikk - cantik (so clever la u!)
16) nak lagi - nak lagi esp. nak naik lg mesin2 mainan kt shopping complex tu sambil buat doe eyes kt Ayah sampai Ayah cair..

apa lagi ye? byk lagi gibberish dia yg hanya dia saja yg paham..mama iye kan je la.
suka hati ko la sayang...

Sofea dan (.)(.) nya...

Sofea dah about 15 mths now..lasak yg amat, gigi baru nak masuk 9 batang kot, dan kuat membebel.

tp satu je habit dia tak hilang-hilang..tido wajib kena landing sama dia sbb dia mau usap-usap, gentel-gentel (.)(.) mama dia..WAJIB tau..kalau tak, tak lena tido.

Adoiyaiiiii...

Mcm mana kalau mama kena pergi teambuilding (ada org sentap u olls) ni? sapa nak tidorkan yaya? cer jawab..cer jawab..ayah hang mana reti, dia reti duk kangkang depan tv tgk bola jah! buat susu hang pun dia tatau..camner ni yaya? mama sumbat yaya dlm beg ikut mama gi teambuilding mau?

pastu kalau usap-usap raba-raba manja tadehal la..ni sikit2 kutil pakai kuku..SAKIT TAWWWW!

Anak mama dah pandai solat...

Yesterday...call Ayah Piya to tell him that I hv to stay back, banyak kerja.

Ayah Piya: Tau tak apa piya buat hari ni??

Mama Piya: Apa? Apa?

Ayah Piya: Dia ikut orang solat..orang "Allahuakbar" dia pun buat jugak siap dgn gaya2 sekali

Mama Piya: (dah teary eyes dah time ni sbb tak dpt tgk) Ye ke?

Ayah Piya: Iye..org duduk antara sujud, dia pun duduk simpuh jugak... Pandai la anak u ni..

Oh Mannnn....ni la time2 paling tak best dlm hidupku sebagai mommy. Missing spending precious times with your children! I want to be there to witness her new development. I really want to capture those moments..

Terus after letak phone..mama rasa depress sikit. Dah la balik lewat, sempat spend time kejap je dgn Sofea, then dia dah start cranky ngantuk... oh well..weekend nanti kita spend time sama-sama ok sayang...

Mimikk anyone??

Sofea's latest update:

1) has 7 teeth! bravo!!
2) New words and sentence

• habish dahhh
• mimikk (milk la)
• bye
• apaya (apa dia maybe?)

Apa yang dia dah pandai buat?

• Pandai turun naik push car dia sendiri
• pandai bagi 'flying kiss' muuuuaaahhh!
• pandai salam amin (cium tangan)

Such a clever girl..mama is so proud of you :)

My beautiful daughter turns 1 tomorrow

She grow up too fast, kan??

tiba-tiba rasa excited + hiba and all sorts of mixed feelings...

Sedih sbb she's no longer the tiny little baby who fits nicely on my lap. Sekarang dah besar panjang..dah jalan takmo pegang tangan mama dah...semua nak buat sendiri kalau blh..tp cebok tak pandai pulak hehe..

Tido dah tak BF dah...minum sustagen vanilla dlm botol. I miss BF her, the only privilege a mommy could have with her children..it tightened our bonds.

Tp takpe la..Sofea dah besar..tomorrow is your 1st birthday. Mama dah ambik cuti..kita pergi jalan2 tgk 'abang' ok? (sofea loves kacau budak2 lelaki..gatal mcm mama dia hehe)

Her progress?

~ Jln dah laju....bontot pun dah kebal asyik jatuh
~ Dah berisi sikit sbb dah byk minum susu and makan (her fav food is pasta and mushroom soup, thanks to heinz baby spaghetti, a genius invention!)
~ new words - 'baby', 'abang', 'pakkaaaa!!' (no idea what it means haha)
~ clap her hands when we sing "If you happy and you know it, clap your hand"...sgt cute!

She loves socializing and playing with other kids...ingat nak cr weekend playgroup for her la, tp yg ada utk bigger kids. She would love participating in playgroup and do creative activities, kan?

To my dearest Sofea aka Yaya aka Piya,

Mama and ayah love you so much!! Mama doakan Yaya membesar dgn sihat dan sempurna, jadi anak yg solehah, rajin, cerdik dan yg paling penting HORMAT ORG TUA..itu je yg mama minta...

Sofea is 11 month old!

I am so proud to announce that Sofea has started to walk on her own..tp takler laju, mcm robot lagi..she managed to walk about 5-10 steps without falling. Ain't she one bright girl???

She's going to turn 1 this coming 23rd March..I'm raking my brains on what to do to celebrate it..it's gonna be just us and our close family members..nak buat grand2 bukannya dia faham lagi pun...

Oh..and she has 4 teeth now. Dua atas, dua bwh..and more to come. Sakit sgt kena 'gigit'... huhu

Sofea is 10 months old

Sofea has 2 teeth di bwh..satu panjang, satu pendek.

Sofea likes to bite mama's toot with her two dangerous teeth.

Mama jerit nangis2..then Sofea gelak2, pastu tido.

OMG, I'm soo traumatized everytime she wants to BF. Mcm taknak bagi, tp kesian la plak. Sakit sgt sgt sgt SGT okay!

Nak buat mcm mana ni? HELP!! T_T

Sofea's first word

She has been making 'noises' for a while now. Mmg byk mulut budak ni, just like Ayah Piya.

She will make 'mamamamama' when she cry for milk. Does that count as her first word? hmmm..i doubt it, although I really want it to be her first word.

And lately she began to understand bye-bye and associate it with waving her hand. Sgt comel ok.. and these past few days, she said it ethusiastically sambil waving2 ceria- babababababababa!! (bye bye)

Well, I guess itulah dia first word Sofea - bye bye.....huhuhuhu..bila nak sebut mama ni??? :(

Faces of Sofea - 9 mths old

Esok genap la 9 bulan umur Sofea.

Anak mama dah besar, makin cerdik..makin cantik! :)

Mama doakan Sofea membesar dgn sihat dan bijak, jadi anak yg solehah, jadi manusia yg berguna, suka membantu org, suka menggembirakan org, HORMAT org lebih tua dan semua yg baik2 la...AMIN..

Mama loves you so much and remember this always..This is my promise to you, Sofea - I am always here for you. I'll be there to guide you. I'll be there when u get your first menses. I'll be there to mend your first broken heart (hopefully takde,la), I'll be there when u are happy and sad and InsyaAllah...I'll be there when you become one lucky guy's wife.

And I will be in the labour room with you when you are about to deliver my grandchild - just like what Maktok did with me..

I love maktok :)

Mama yg Giler Shopping part 2

Sofea is now learning to stand up on her own (jatuh je byk hehe)... I was excited la like any new mommy would be. I saw these walker at Jusco nearby my ofc..cam best je. I esp like vtech punya..i think vtech has better quality toys than fisher price etc based on my experience la...

There are 2 types:
Mula2 I almost bought the one with steering tu because Sofea fondness of steering :)
But terbantut niatku bila tgk ada gambo ba alif ba ya on one of the key...alamak.....

So, I bought the 1st pic punya after doing my online research etc...it has gotten good reviews, and it was on sale at Babyland Summit....mama yg rakus pun apalagi...beli la...

So far, she enjoys playing with it..tp dia still tak reti nak tolak that thing. Slow slow ok sayang...

Mama yg Hantu Shopping..

Oh please..how do i control my shopping nafsu? If masa bujang trang tang-tang I can't control myself to buy shoes, handbags etc...now dah ada Sofea, I can't control myself buying stuff foe her! I love looking at her toys, her dresses..even her food!

I think I've spent thousands on her stuff alone...let's see what's the damage


1) Lamaze PlayGym - dah tak pakai pun sekarang. but I dont regret buying this becoz Sofea loved playing with it. Now she's getting bigger, she prefers more adventurous toys..shld I keep this for future anak or sell it off?


2) Bumbo seat - lime green - terexcited tgk review dlm web..so decided beli je la. Torn between kaler purple or green ni..lastly bought the green colour sbb unisex sket..mana la tau in 2 yrs time Sofea ada adik boy pulak, kan?
3) Fisher Price Rocker - adoi...mama and Ayah Piya terpedaya. Masa Sofea around 3-4 mths, diakan payah to please..nak tidokan pun pyh, asyik nangis je. So, nampak kt Anakku this rocker, kitorg letak dia dlm rocker ni and she seemed to enjoy it very much! mama pun happy la...terus tak pikir pjg..beli. Sampai sekarang tak pakai...nasib baik ada Nuha. Blh dia pakai masa kt rumah Maktok :PByk lagi actually..tp segan la nak post sini. Nampak sgt mama rakus bershopping. Tp sebenarnya, niat mama nak Sofea happy..tgk dia suka sesuatu, mama pun beli.

Oh, her latest interest - Classical music! So mama bought her CD classical music hahahahaha...mahal tau!

Faces of Sofea - 8 months old

Sofea is currently 8 months old..going on 9 months old 23 dec ni.

At 8 mths, she fell of bed for the first time. We were so lucky that her playpen kinda slowed down her falling process. So, dia takde apa..nangis sikit je, then gelak2..

Mcm mana nak train her to stay in her playpen ek? IS it my fault for not introducing her sleeping alone from her early mths? I'm fully BF so senang if she sleep with me. Sekarang I felt a pang of regret tak ajar dia tido sorang dlm playpen dia.

U shld see her crying her hearts out bila kena tinggal dlm playpen....sedih sgt la konon..manja betul anak mama sorang ni.

Dia pun dah nampak ciri2 nak merangkak dah...blh la few steps, pastu dia malas and prefer to slide her body or guling2..lagi laju gamaknya kan?

And..at 8 mths old, she got her first haircut! Cut fringes dia je sbb dah masuk mata sgt2..semak la mama tgk! tp mama yg terlebih pandai gunting telah berjaya men'cacat'kan fringe Sofea...inilah hasilnya....SORRY SAYANG!

Oh lupa..on 1 Muharam hari tu, I was feeding her raisins (her fav) then terperasan rasa keras2 kt gusi dia..YEEEHAAA..finally, her gigi muncul jua! tp baru 1 kt bwh..mesti kelakar Sofea ada 1 gigi je..hopefully the rest will show up soon!

Faces of Sofea - 7 months old

Hmm..at 7 mths old apa Sofea dah pandai?

Suka stare kt org esp jejaka yg gelap2..I always accused Ayah Piya asyik kwn dgn bangla ms aku preggy yg menyebabkan Sofea ada fondness towards them :P

Suka menyeringai (sengih luas2 sambil mata dia yg bulat jd sepet)

Suka dance - dia gelek bontot (dlm walker) and pusing2 wrist dia..alahai anak mama....

Baru nak cubaan mengangkat bdn..tp dlm walker dia dah lajuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..tak terkejar eden

Yg ni sweet sgt - kalau mama dia tgh upset, she somehow can sense it and dia akan peluk kita and kiss kita..pandai tak? I was soo amazed.. betul la org kata anak ni peneman, penyejuk hati, pengikat kasih and semua2 la...

She still traumatized kena tinggal dgn maktok masa dia 3-4 mths old dulu (mama kena gi kelas)..until now, dia takut dgn maktok. Our theory was that, she somehow associated maktok dgn kena tinggal dgn mama...maybe that's why until now, dia tak berapa nak kat maktok. kesian maktok tau..she loves you soooo much! maktok selalu cakap," takpe, maktok sabar tunggu sofea pandai" ..huhuhuhu..i felt so bad...

Faces of Sofea - 6 months old

Cepat masa berlalu..in Aug 2010, Sofea turned 6 months...

At 6 mths old, dia demam for the first time. Dia ikut mcm Ayah Piya..jarang demam tp kalau demam sekali, terus teruk. I was sooo worried. Tp dia not as cranky as expected..demam tp baik je budaknya. Cian dia demam....huhuhu

Faces of Sofea - 5 months old

I want to be a good mom so bad. I wanted to follow Doc's rule...dont feed ur child solid before she turns 6 mths old. Isu ni sampai jd gaduh laki bini. Mak pun kata bagi je la..dia lapar tu. Adoi, ditelan mati mak, diluah mati ayah betul la....

I think a lot of us new, modern mum have this kind of problem. Actually my mom ok, dia takde la bising2...tp Ayah Piya yg bising...dia suruh start jugak bg solid. Sbb piya tak berapa suka minum FM, she was getting thinner, crankier and difficult to handle.

Defeated. I went to the store and bought few tiny bottles of baby food. I read carefully and picked yg ada tulis from 4 months old punya.

Mmg she enjoyed her food so much. OK la..janji anak mama happy.

Faces of Sofea - 4 months old

In this entry, I let's talk about breastfeeding.
Before Sofea was born, I did alot of reading in the net etc...I was determined to gave her full BM until at least 6 months. I was soo determined sampaikan kat hospital, I told the nurses I wanted to fully BF my daughter.

Tp lepas bersalin, susu tak keluar. Mcm mana ek? Penat nurse2 tu tolong urut etc..my breast tak bengkak langsung pun, mcm takde susu. At the nursey, we can actually borrow their pump. So I went there try to pump..at least dpt bagi dia colostrum tu pun dah amat2 puas hati la...

I pump and pump and pump sampai penat la.....keluarnya secoet je. Peduli apa aku, tu yg paling berkhasiat tu...I asked the nurse to feed Sofea with beberapa titis BM aku tu.

But she was a hungry, crying baby...second day kat hospital, aku tak sampai hati biar dia berlapar....I let the nurse fed her formula. I regret the decision sampai skang.

Tp Sofea pandai..she knows what's best for her...

After the hospital incident and few days lepas balik, my milk still blm ada. Kalau ada pun she can't latch properly and she was impatient. Marah kalau tak dpt susu. Anak tahun rimau, garang betul!

Then, hasil google..I ordered Medela nipple shield with hope that she can latch properly from here. Voila! berjaya...and she happily suckled her milk :)

Happy sgt masa tu...rs mcm betul2 berjaya menjadi mama yg baik. I continued using tha shield sampai la my nips tu timbul sendiri dan dia dah blh latch.

Since then, I exclusively bf her till she turned 4 mths old. Then I had no choice but to top up with FM. Sbb apa? Coz my job was a bit demanding at that time. I had no time to pump at work. And to pump, I have to travel all the way down from 17th floor to 4th floor dgn lift yg mcm pun**k tu. And she started to drink more and more milk..apa yg I supplied daily was not enough dah.

So, to top-up to my BM, we decided to gave her FM. Then we discovered new thing plak..she was allergic to FM. Doc said it was protein allergy. We tried 5 brands of FM tp semua tak blh..red dots appeared keliling mulut dia. Lastly I gave her NAN HA1. OK...alhamdulillah. Tp cabaran baru - she hates that milk..still do till today. Paksa bg, dia minum about 2-3oz je..tu pun sbb lapar sgt dah kot.

Oh well, dia pandai...as I said, she knows what's best for her..HER MAMA'S MILK :)

Faces of Sofea - 3 months old

Asyik letak muka control comel je...nah bg satu muka ngamuk Sofea :P

Faces of Sofea - 2 months old

Sofea turned 2 months on 23 May 2010. I had to go back to work soon..Bila ingat balik 1st day tinggalkan dia, my heart sgt2 berat. I was heartbroken...rasa mcm fail to be a good mother sbb tak dpt nak jaga dia sepenuhnya. And I missed her sooooo much!

Sofea was a crancky baby..first few months mmg sgt2 mencabar.

She cried a lot esp when she is sleepy. We tried buaian, tu pun kejap je dia nak.....she only sleep soundly when I am beside her with her 'milk supply' ready and available next to her...ngada2 tau!

Look at her, baru 2 bln dah mcm 6 mths old baby
