Sofia reached 8mo

Bila terbaca this article kat page Dr Zubaidi, terus teringat Sofia
Cepatnye Sofia dah reached 8months
day by day i'm missing her more. penangan anak kalini lain macamla than HM, maybe coz i still bf her and i prep her food weekly (yes homemade!)

That article says a mom worried that her 8mo son tak reti meniarap and merangkak
Sofia plak, meniarap reti, duduk pun baru je last week reti dok sendiri. merangkak? 3-4 kedepan then dah. more to mengesot yelah. berat bont or malas dia ni?
According to MIL, sofia ni macam ada potential ikut the ayah. no crawling tetiba dah duduk. Then tetiba dah berdiri then walk. Which ever pun, i hope she still healthy la. lambat or cepat i still will monitor and only pray that's minor prob je. Different baby different milestone. It takes time. So parents kene be alert of all this. If lambat sangat then you'll need to see the paed to get their opinions/concern. 

Every weekend now i am packed cracking my head to prep Sofia's food. I did share on my instagram and Fb too. reason being is to share with other mommies and also as a record for future,  milestone i did for Sofia hence can refresh my memory on that. Tak kiralah bila anak dah berapa pun, sure akan ada memory loss on parenting/weaning/baby..hahah trust me. Such never ending journey

SP - sweet potato w dried apricots
PC - potato w green veges (celery, broccoli, peas) and fish (ikan merah)

with mek esah - 8mo

alhamdulillah such a healthy 8mo 2wks baby

Now sofia love to clap her hands. bangun tido nampak muka kita senyum, no wining crying whatsoever. Then clap hand.  Alhamdulillah both my daughters macam tu, such a happy babies. Senang to handle. Not so fussy eaters pun. HM je start 3yo onwards ni a bit choosy on food. Tu yang badan sekeping je. But look at the parents too la, jenis sekeping gak. So the gene runs in the family i guess. As long she's eating, drinking and healthy i have no reason to be worried

baby food exploring

my weekend has been extremely busy and tiring
u asked what did i do? 

• i have been having this sakit badan for quite sometimes. Due to lenguh, tired, banyak jalan and i noticed its been 2 months i tak pi urut badan. normally i will have it once a month (yeah kinda my monthly routine now as it helps me to stay fresh and buangkan segala angin dlm badan) And i have this one favourite kak urut yang datang myhouse everymonth. Not only she do normal body massage, she also can do Urut pantang, cukurkan newborn baby hair etc. if you need her contact pls pm me (now my directory list has gone wider, kak urut pulak. LOL). i still remember that few of my friends used to called me a mobile directory. Whenever they need kerja they'll find me, if they need kak cleaner contact, find me. recently in FB, need tailor that can jahit nursing zip, asked me. LOL. anyway, i'm happy that i can help others. I know the feeling if we need help so here i am. Just buzz me if ada info i can share :)

•  Since i did my groceries last Friday for Sofia's food prep, i have figured out her menu for this week. I tried to search Annabel Karmel's menu and some others from the FB page. My menu was :  chicken sweet potato with peas, pumpkin w sweet potato and grated cheese , apple and pear puree and also bubur nasi with salmon grill and broccoli. Apparently only first two menus je ada pic lain semua takde hahaha tak sempat nak snap. I hope Sofia enjoying her meals that i've prepared with so much love, sayang. The tips? cari menu ikut Annabel's (based on my choices). mix and match as what suits. so more to agak2 and campak2 je. below i append the ingredients :

A) Chicken sweet potato + peas

sweet potato, peeled and diced *

peas (i used frozen) *

chicken, diced *

onion, peeled and diced

unsalted butter

chicken stock

- masukkan unsalted butter and onion, sauteed kan few minutes - masukkan sweet potato, peas and ayam, simmer for about 5-8minutes, put chicken stock and done- after sejuk blend kan

* steam/boil half earlier

B) Pumpkin w sweet potato & grated cheese

sweet potato, peeled and diced *

pumpkin, peeled and diced *

cheese block (i use beqa red color)*

chicken stock

* steam/boil the items

- after all * done, grated cheese and wait till it melted, put chicken stock. then off for blend 

C)Apple & pear puree

apple, peeled and diced 

pear, peeled and diced

- this more straight forward, steamkan semua bahan and blend it. put water/BM to make it smooth

D) Bubur nasi with salmon grill, broccoli and pumpkin

beras *

salmon ( covered with lemon and di grill kan with unsalted butter/olive oil) -cooked separately

broccoli *

pumpkin, diced *

* since i'm using mixer yang all in used, so i put beras, pumpkin and broccoli all in, cooked together

- once the above * done, carikkan isi salmon and put chicken stock w bit of grated cheese and blend all in

managed to get 3 servings for each menu. So one week menu all covered. I prefer steam all the ingredients as it will preserved the nutrition better

Rajin much? hahha actually i forced myself to learnt and do all this for Sofia.

A mom gotta do what she have to do, despite you are a SAHM/FTWM. 

We want the best for our kids kan? 

Birthday dan swimming pool

Both combinations yang sangat menarik perhatian bebudak 

kalini birthday zara. cucu kepada anak kakza (sariza)
heh mudanya dah title cucu ye. heheh nanny muda yang masih lagi jadi crew

location wise was good coz nearby pool haha. and the pool ain't the normal pool ye
it has slides, air hujan bagai and lotsa trees so redup sket and animals figures
(it was in my IG)


meantime, it also a mini SCFM gath hahahah coz yang datang byk from geng scfm je. anyway we enjoyed ourself. food was yums
Sofia the first as usual in a center of attention where everyone geram with her chunky thigh
and siap one of my friend really bite her till nangis, geram sangat katanye. lol

the birthday girl and cake

i so love this pic. nak frame it

Sofia at 7month

Sofia oh Sofia the first!
she really seized my day everyday. with her laughter, cheekiness etc
with all her new milestone and everyday updates from Wan (my MIL)
i am so proud to be your mom and to have you around us

Every baby is different, that's for sure
those similar between HM and Sofia are :

• an easy baby to handle. no fussy. only crying for milk, sleeps, attention  (who doesn't. lol )more to cheerful, smart, friendly baby
• has long eyelashes. but no curles like HM. Super melentik
• i think both suka jalan2. hahaha obviously tiru mak dia ni

Here are some of Sofia milestone from 6mo onwards :

• i have started giving purees to sofia. Towards the daily menus, i noticed she had bit of constipation problem. So i gave more on fruits/veges  to ease that ie : papaya, peaches,  apples, pumpkins, sweet potato etc. But she also has her picky eater habits to certain food ie : broccoli and sweet potato (japanese one yang kaler purple but i so love it, end up to my mouth instead haha).
•  at 7mo i intro her cauliflower (she take it 50-50), banana, blueberries (she has show her rejection also), potato. My routines are every weekend to preps for her 1 week consumption. 
• now she is into crawling. No sign of nak duduk on her own but she can seat (paham dak ayat aku ni?) so now dah into four while goyangkan her body..so cuteeeeee
• her separation anxiety starts at 7mo especially towards me. If in my room, put her on bed and i keluar sekejap je dah merengek. Also pandai nak suruh kita dukung dia whenever she see me
• Alhamdulillah tho i mix FM +BM, my BM supply still kick in and i am still pumping at work. counting for more and hopefully reach 1 year
• She is good on choosing her toys now. Takmau the norm and ordinary toys but the adults one like remote astro, handphone or anything that is colorful that's beyond her daily toys
• it's good to know that she has this sleeping time ( not that i fully trained her but as her guideline) which normally she sleeps between 8-930pm. The latest she 's been is at 11pm! ni jenis kes tahan mata. lately memang selalu tido sendiri coz dok tahan matalah! Tapi on positive side its good so she can be independent sket ( to a 7mo baby? memang aku kiasu -___-)

while at Cherating

starts with pumpkins from BEBJ

7mo 

Other than that i have nothing to complaint. I am so grateful and bless her t=in my life. Obviously she has put her weight, the last one at 5mo was 8kg yang penting she is sihat. Tho sometimes ada sign of flu, so i cepat2 buat garlic oil/socks. Yup dengan sofia ni i have learnt so much that i want only the best and natural for her (every mom wants that obviously). 

VCO (virgin coconut oil) - i use for almost anything on her. i put 2/3 drops in her puree, sapu her kulit for any rashes/allergy/bekas nyamuk gigit and as her moisturize. even if she have nappy rashes i apply that. InsyaAllah in 2 days dah hilang

Purees - i use organic and fresh fruits/veges. and normally beli kat cold storage/jusco or any kedai buah. from her peaches, avocado, banana, papaya. for pumpkins and orange sweet potato and sometimes apple i bought from Babyeatsjustbylixa. A friend that sell homemade food for baby and toddler . They have their own menu and packages.
