A silly 'you always make me wanna' poem!

You always make me smile and laugh,

You always make me yell and scream,

You always make me want to leant cook and bake,

You always make me want to improve my language and vocabulary,

You always woke me up and cry,

You make me wake up and smile,

You always make me think twice,

You make my make-up all glowing :)

You always pull my scarf but I still look gorgeous because I carry you hall full and people adores you till they forget I look horrible with my upside down scarf! 

You always mess my dress because you're a sloppy kid. 

You always make that silly wiggle dance,

You always raise your hand when I asked you to,

You always bite me and my tits! 

You always make me feel uneasy when I'm at office especially 4pm,

You always ..Always!

You make me feel so confidence with the red jungle lipstick

This is all because you make me feel like a woman!

and

You make me feel so complete!

You are 15 months yesterday and I'm turning 26 next week! InsyaAllah

Bonda loves you!

His 15 Months-Old's Language & Cognitive Development

Hi everyone. I hope everyone is in the  pink of health. I want to share with you all and also for our future reference of Al-Farrel's Language & Cognitive Developement... 
By 15 months, the majority of children may have vocabulary. As for Al-Farrel (14 going on 15 months old) see list below the vocabulary & his baby talk:

My 15 months old toddler can also follow and understand few commands such as..

Heyy! No! No Al-Farrel!

Yummy-yummyyyy time - means time to feed u!

You want? And he'll nodding if it's yes or no! Haha

You poo-poo?

Come here, Al!

Bring me the ball,baby!

Look, cat!

Anak bonda is still not favour in walking. He really loves crawling instead! Let say if he walks 10 steps, then he'll mengada make himself fall and continue crawling! Haiiiiiih! It's okay :) I'm not worried at all, because I know insyaAllah soon he'll walk like all his friends.. Sooner or later!

Every baby is unique! 

 No matter what you are/ will be, insyaAllah Bonda & Ayah will always set a good example and will always be there for you, Al-Farrel! You are our ultimate unconditional love! 

Bonda.

Alfarrel 1st Ward Experience

It's been a challenging week for us. First it was your body temperature, then rashes all over your body. Follow by major cough and flu. Then you lose your voice and weight of course! and then your temperature when to normal. Still coughing & Flu. The next day you got fever again!  How bonda & Ayah wish we could take those pain but then again, we know our boy is a SUPERBOY insyaAllah & Alhamdulillah with barakah duas from us & all. 

Hi everyone, mothers/ mom-to-be/ father (if there any guys reading this)/ friends,

I'm Putri Rex. A mother of One Little Sweetheart, Al-Farrel Ridzuan. Special gift from Above! Our son is now 14 months and growing Alhamdulillah. It's part of child development where he got sick. Like Very Sick. That is when he built his antibodies. As a mother, I have to keep positive and always keep my head high also keep praying for my his health. Lemme share with you, what hit us last week. Al-Farrel's got sick -part of our parenthood challenge. As a parents, husband and wife, we became more closer and unite in handling his not only sickness but also part of his developement and for that, I thank Allah for everything.

Things really happened for reasons!

 Drafted: Timeline of his 1st Ward Experience.

The first day he got fever was Wednesday 13/06/12 late at night  and we didn't bring him to the Doctor, just monitor at home give him Paracetamol 120. 

The next day Thrusday 14/06/12, my concerned was the rashes at his hands and legs also Fever 38 brought straight away to Serdang Hospital because hate to see the rashes. Doc asked if he got:

'muntah-muntah/ cirit-birit' -NO '
desire to food' -Yes Okay!
Active - Very! 

So Doc say, no worries the rashes naik due to body temp too high. Can go home but there is still fever in 3 days please come back. So Doc just gave us Paracetamol & Moisturizer Cream. Thanks Doc!

On the 17th of June, no fever alhamdulillah but still minor rashes and bad cough I tell you! Government Hospital don't advice ubat batuk given to baby below 2 years old. Fine!

Surprisingly, on the 19th June, I got home little early from work. Took Alfarrel from his Opah and brought him to chillax minum-minum petang with my girl friend. I was breastfeeding him and suddenly I feel his body was soo heat! There's no way! It's been nearly 1 week! What really happened. I call my dad and asked him to accompany me to the Hospital. Fadhil was working at first I don't wanna make him worry. So we when to DEMC, took the blood test (this time Fadhil was on his way home, he had to urgent signout) .. He was 39.5 fever and the blood test showed that his white blood cel is very high 38 normal only 15. So there was an infection going on some where! Doc advised to warded, I asked for for letter to transfer to Serdang Hospital. - That was 10pm. When home and grabbed clothes and all and shot to Serdang. 

Was at the Emergency Department and got our bed at 20/06/12 @ 1.30 in the morning .

If you asked How was Farrel that time? ! He was very Active and Cheerful! Alhamdulillah. 

So yes, 4 nights at ward. Al-Farrel was on antibiotics straight from his vein. Very painful I can see, but the Doc & Nurses really know how to tackle him! There's one night he has to sleep with oxygen because his heart beat was too fast and his breathing was very fast. There's also one night they have to sucks his flame using this tiny tube! Oh my! I cried!  He has to take Nebulizer every 4 hours, but he hate it very much! He's on too much medication! But Alhamdulillah, he understands :) Alhamdulillah, with all these sickness, one thing I was very grateful - He's not even Cranky yet very Cheerful which I questioned - Kenapa anak sakit ni.. Saja nak bonda dapat Compassionate Leaves so dapat Spend Full time dangan bonda yea? Hehe.. Haa As for that part tu, mmg best lah! I dapat hold and see him growing FULL time! :) Happy nya! Syukur :)


Now let the pictures tell the story! .. Enjoyy :)

Doa bonda agar anak bonda sihat cepat! ;)

 Cheerful Alfarrel! Gerammmm!

Baby Swagger! Alfarrel playtime with Pak Long!

Little sweetheart playing with food on bed! Anakkkkk! ;) 

The sesame street never fail to cheer him up! ;) Thanks friends!

It's fun seeing AlFarrel's progress :) Such a strong kid he is :) I love you baby! Makin hari makin sweetheart :) Setiap pagi atau setaip kali bangun tidur mesti baring bawah ketiak & kiss Bonda & Ayah :) Aduhh cairrr tau! I'm at work now. Feels like going home now, unfortunately ada meeting petang ni!!! Lastly, ..

 You really do Alfarrel???? Hahahaha InsyaAllah one day okay :) Bonda and Ayah will make one for you to play with ;))) Hehe.. we love you Al! Oh you don't know how much we care for you baby! Assalamualaikum

Bonda you.

It's been a while...

..Since I last met these lovely people ..

Rindunya nak jumpa this circle of friend! Farrel pon rindu nak main dengan kawan-kawan dia.. Kesian Al-Farrel sekarang ashik main kat rumah je. Looking at Farra's post almost every week,once, mesti bawa Thaqif pegi playground. I dah tak boleh wish I berhenti kerja, but I can only wish that rumah kita dekat, so petang-petang Auntie Farra ambil Farrel  and Farrel can join Thaqif! * I wished! 

Tapi it's okay, Alhamdulillah I'm so grateful & lucky for me & my family. Recently, I was in Indonesia for work purpose. I'm truly blessed with what Allah has set for me & my family. Betullah! Kalau kita melawat negara-negara lain we tend to be so grateful dgn apa yang kita ada. Just wait my post for my Indo trip k?

Pictures below, during Thaqif's 1st birthday bash which was a while ago!!! Sorry Qif! Major delay! I miss you and all of you in the pictures below! Wish we could spend more time and have a quality time anytime soon before you kids semua masuk pre-school! What!?? Noooo..    Nooo!! Parents please, let's meet up!

 My husband, Fadhil with the two kiddos! Thaqif 12 months & Al-Farrel 13 months.

 Adorable Mia. 

9 months young, wasn't you Mia?

 The mommies! :) Major catch up needed!!

Oh my favourite mommyhood-girlfriend! Kahkahkah! Term apa pon I tak tahu but Farra I know you know what I mean!! Please jumpaaaaa lahh!!!

So mommies! If you heard me!! ...Or Al-Farrel/ Thaqif/ Mia/ Lili cepat BBM each other and let's playdate!!! Haha. 

Till next time.

Loves,

Bonda Al-Farrel!

I miss those time when we were in states!

(All pictures taken when you where 6&7 months while we where in the states!)

Al-!,

Bonda really miss our best time together.

Bonda really miss looking at you and see every second of your growth!

Bonda miss your very first 9 months where I raised you full time with my bare hands!

Bonda miss making Elmo sounds just to make you laugh!

Bonda miss everything about you and I.

Now that bonda is working so bad, I've no choice. 

I know, choice is in our own hand. 

However in life sometimes you need to sacrifices certain things.

I'm doing this for our best.

I'm not doing this for the sake of 'duniawi'

What ever I say pun, I may sound like I'm giving excuses.

I love you and nothing can ever change that.

I may sound bias , because I'm your mom, but trust me you are the most happiest baby on earth! And I'm grateful that I'm your forever (even though nanti after you marry your gadis idaman, you may have you own direction) 

 Tapi doaku selalu untuk mu.

Bonda sebenarnya dah burst into tears while writing this.

I love you Al-. In 2 days, you'll turn ONE. Nanti malam before you turn ONE, bonda belanja you makan Tutti Fruti Okayy! Becauseeee you know.. my water bag dulu burst masa tgh makan Tutti Fruti laaa :))))))

Can't wait for the weekend, son! 

Peluk cium,

Bonda kesayangan Al-Farrel!

Very soon!

 Hi there people! Al-Farrel is about to turn ONE!

 Alhamdulillah, Farrel is turning one soon. Very soon! In 3 days! :) InsyaAllah! 

I'm more than grateful baby! You've been nothing but a bless to us, alhamdulillah. 

Lemme update you his current behavior: 

• He still is breastfeeding! Alhamdulillah. However dah campur formula in day time while I'm at work except weekday-lah!
• He sleeps behavior during night time is pelik! Mesti nak baring on my chest/ fadhil's. (he sleeps with me mostly at night because that's the only time I have with him now ;/ )
• Farrel knows how to get off the bed. Very well! InsyaAllah
• He call me ..'nda' sooo cute!!! But haven't had the chance yet in video lah! Soon :) I'mma bit patience on that because I know when the time comes, I'll be the happiest bonda ever!
•  Farrel dislike baby food! He eats like adult now! He love chicken wings tau! Boleh hisap sampai habis manis si-chicken wing tu! Haha

• He loves elmo very much! Sampai kadang-kadang kalau nak pujuk Al- guna aja suara elmo, dia mesti gelak!

So many things to list down actually! Senang cerita nanti jumpa all on his 1st baby bash okay! I love you Al-Farrel! I really really do! 

 Al- bonda doakan alfarrel membesar menjadi orang yang berakhlak tinggi & insyaAllah berpendidikan tinggi. 

Ingat bonda selalu pesan, hormati menghormati tak kira kecik atau besar k!

Ohhh! Upin dah ipin pon favorite diaaa!!!! 

Betul betul betul!

I mean betul betul betul Upin & Ipin mempunya nilai nilai yang murni untuk tontonan anak anak kecil :)

Peluk cium,

Bonda!

At first Ayah mcm hesitance to let me go, because of my unwell condition due to major back pain. But, Bonda insisted nak pegi jugak! Alhamdulillah, your Arwah Auntie Shiela sanggup pick me up. (Oh I missed her!)

InsyaAllah mana tahu bonda sama-sama conceive dengan dia next year who knows? InsyaAllah. Haha Incase you wonder what conceive is! Don't ask! :) Just kidding ok sonny? Love you.

Counting days for your First Birthday.....


Peluk cium!

Cousins day out and a sleepover too!

Hello hello hello! 

Life is so colorful with fun people in it, right Al-Farrel?

We're taking or niece out with us. It was very last minutes plan as Khaira's mother has to fly.  

Mmg purposely on that weekend we wanted to bring Al-Farrel jalan-jalan and promised Farra & Thaqif to meet somewhere. Tapi tak jadi! Sad;/

 To cut long story short. Tengok la gambar-gambar during the Cousins Day Out and a Sleepover with Farrel & Khaira :)

Everyone buckle up! We're going out and aboutt...!

Baca doa naik kenderaan dulu Al-Farrel:

O-Allah please let us a save journey.

Amin

The parents in charge! 

Farrel -10 months and 20days 

4 teeth going on 5/ Can't walk yet/ Stands by his own/ Baby talks and responds well/ 

Loves to put everything in his mouth except a binky! Smiles and laughs are his middle name.

When I say.. Shiapa nama.. Al-Farrel Ridzuan.. Raise your hand..

Al-Farrel: Raised!

We love this place. I don't know. I think we just look to hang out at a grocer. Kalau pegi Tesco pon mesti kita org lama gila belek-belek barang. 

Oh tips kalau beli barang Tecso especialy the cookies/ candies. Make sure ada sticker make in UK on the packages. Guarantee best! 

Fadhil go gaga in there! 

Cheekily cheeky Little Al Farrel and Ayah you tak payah nak serious sangat lah :) 

During that day, we sorta delegate work. Fadhil dukung Farrel and I jaga Khaira. 

Yang bestnya Farrel tak jealous at all/ Relax je :) Tu yang I lagi geram tu!

 But after awhile I cakap kat Fadhil can we switch I nak dukung Farrel kejap. And lepas tu Farrel hugg I tight! Rindu agaknyaaa :)) Awwh and that moment, I feel like. Okay tak pe la. Tak puas main dengan dia lagi. Ada baby lagi bila Farrel dah besar sikit lah :) Tapi kalau ada kami terima happily. Kan Farrel kan?

  

Farrel dulu dari awak kenit kita org yang kena support belakang you kalau nak kena dokong. Now you yang support belakang bonda kan? Hihi I love you baby! 

Because I know I'll be handing 2 kids, so I keep it simple with just an eye liner and a gloss.

As for Publika, we nailed it! Love you partner!

Now let's Ikea baby!

Because Ikea so crowded (like you don't know) so we had a early dinner at Nandos. i don't favor Nandos btw.

Errr Ayah? Are you okay? ..Or u surrender? 

Haha

Quality time. 

Then, Uncle Danial Mescudi came. Purposely to meet you Al! Alololo.. Shosweet kan!

After that, head to the changing room and changed them in to their PJs. It was 9pm I guess. Haha and the kids saying byebye world! 

They slept all the way home, and Fadhil & I sempat singgah Burger at SS 15 Subang for our supper! Weehoo! I love that Day from morning till night!

Tapi kalau jumpa Thaqif lagi best! Kan Thaqif kan? Tapi unfortunately I forgot to bring my phone. Dayyuum!

The next morning the woke up late at 9. Bonda sempat be in the kitchen and klingklongklingklong (bunyi periuk/senduk/ lesum and all lah)

I cooked Nasi Ayam :)

I cooked two type in fact.

1. Nasi Ayam Grown Ups - For Bonda & Ayah

2. Nasi Ayam Toddler - For Al-Farrel

Sorry Khaira, you're only 3 months kalau tak Pincess dah buat Nasi Ayam Puree for you baby :) Hehe

Senang je! Tapi the Vege lame sikit. I guna Carrot for Nasi Ayam? haha sbb it was impromptu. I pinjam sayur Al-Farrel for Nasi Ayam Grown ups 

OM NOM NOM!

The sloppy kiddo! He loved the Nasi Ayam very much! Yayyy! I'mma proud bonda!

Thank you Bonda!

Picture of Ayahanda and Acik. Khaira calls Fadhil Acik btw.

Resemblance of how happy they were :))

Great Weekend Indeed!

God is great. Alhamdulillah! 

Peluk Cium,

Bonda/ Pincess!
