umi's little helper

I'm officially Umi's little helper since i turned 3... i show great interest in house chores and insisted doing it myself... and some times i will do it without being asked...

helping umi water the plants


so that the plants can grow and live


also help umi do the laundry


such a small chore compared to umi's never-ending effort to raise me up

although most of the time, i also like to play and mess around and never clean up later...

building my little small fantasy house


umi and baba will come clean up later yeay!

xtreme

When you were a baby/toddler, what did you wanted to be when you grow up? A fireman? A policeman? A lawyer? A doctor? Laaaaaame... I wanna be..

an Xtreme Sports Athlete!!


this is just a start to my rock climbing adventures


getting used to cliffhanging before I do the real thing

p/s: All action stunts are done with adult supervision. Babies, don't do this at home.

of names and books

love thy name

Baby names nowadays can get so... wow. I don't have a word for it. Gone are the days when our parents name us simple names, and it seems like we are outdoing each other in giving unique names to our babies.

Not so cool now : Jamilah, Rahimah, Rokiah, Hashim, Hassan, Kassim

So cool right now : Danish, Qistina, Seth, Ryan, Mikhael, Daniel

Well, all is well and fine, as long as you don't go all outrageous and name your baby Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii!!

let's learn the ABC's

I find that I love books right now. It's not the reading actually, it's the lively colourful pictures that I'm so into. And they're not exactly books, they're... magazines. Weehooo!! Less than one-year-old and my favourite magazine right now is.. Pa&Ma. What's not to like about it? It's colourful, with lots of baby pictures in it! And it's readily available cos Umi used to buy lots and lots of them. Now Umi's not reading them anymore, it's my turn to read them (and shred and drool on and tear them apart!!). Doesn't matter, put the Pa&Ma in front of me and I can get distracted for many minutes (well, not hours)...

Umi need to buy me some books. But I'm not that into hard-paged children books. Any books you can recommend?

habits 104 : toes chomper

After mastering the yoga moves, the only natural thing for a baby to do is... to chomp on my own toes!!!

mmmm sedapnyeeeerrr...


caught in the act!


toes-r-us


socks won't stop me

Umi and Baba says : Initially we were concerned and worried that nadhrah would hurt her back or legs doing this. But seeing her enjoying herself, particularly her toes, we just decided that it probably isn't something to be worried about. But to snap photos of her on it, you'd have to be really quick. Nadhrah would let go in just a split second (hence, the pictures turn out a bit blurred), it's not exactly the #1 position for her in level of comfort.

On another note... the election results are out, all the votes have been counted. As shocking and unexpected as they are, we're not suddenly gonna do a political analysis here. However, we do sincerely hope that, for the future of baby nadhrah and all the other wonderful babies out there, those elected will do their jobs responsibly and make Malaysia a better place.

Speaking about votes, there is still time to vote for baby nadhrah's
BLOG and VIDEO for happy moments!! It's still not too late to vote ;)

habits 103 : yoga leg-stretching

A little bit of YOga and LEg STretching keeps me healthy and flexible... I call them YOLEST for short...

stretchy stretchy


future national gymnast


can I just have them Olympic medal now?


look at me feet!!


try clothing me when I'm doing my routine here


and a double bumper habit special... yolest + mulut kemam = yomukem (I just keep coming up with these new words!! genius!!)

On a separate note, Umi started fasting today. She has like, a month to ganti becos she gave birth to me right before Ramadhan last year. So how does that affect me? Well, she's producing less natural juice for me, even though she just started fasting today. Umi eating less = less milk for me. Oh no!! I hope it doesn't dry up... I need all those vitamins, minerals, SA, DA (I just threw in these letters cos they keep showing up in all those milk adverts) and whatever else is in there. Plus, it's the best time for me to bond with Umi. Actually I won't be able to sleep at night without being in her lap, enjoying my daily dose of milky deliciousness. But Umi, I understand that you have to keep your duties to the Almighty.

So... Good Luck, Umi!!

habits 102 : jelir jelir

Warning : Please take extra precaution. This short video is very addictive. But it's perfectly fine for your health. You won't be, like, an addict or anything.

habits 101 : mulut kemam

New habit alert!! I dont' know when, I don't know how, I don't know why. But I just like to do it... All together now!

mmauuammmamamuamm

Umi & Baba says : It's a very cute habit, and we can't stop laughing when Nadhrah does that! We'd race to get the camera to snap her on it, but she'd stop and stare at the camera once she sees it. It was hard to get the pics, but here in this series of pics she did persist on doing it while getting clothed. But lately she's not doing it as much, maybe she'd drop it sooner or later. So this pictures are a dollar a piece!

rollin rollin rollin

Ever wondered how I got from this position...

..to this position??

Well, wonder no more!! Now you can view the action in all its full glory!! (I mean view the video below...)

Yessszaa... I can roll!! Well, it has been a while now, actually. Umi used to train me to do this by letting me lie down all by myself and she would stand behind me (the position of the camera in the video above). It's only natural that I try to find her by looking behind (while lying down, that is). I usually try to look behind and slowly, my momentum carries me to a face down position. Weehooo!! It's called "rolling". You can try to attempt this stunt it at home. I know it's not dangerous because even a baby like me can do it!

Notice that I rolled to the right? Well, unfortunately that's the only direction I can go all the way for now. Somehow I can't go left yet, only halfway. Yes, I'm more right-inclined. And I can't go back to lying down. Well, right now I don't really intend to, because this is my favourite position...

Beware of my newly-created 4 Kung Fu moves...

Sometimes, I just love to do this...

i can sleep in any position

so far this is my favourite one... meniarap..

i also like to put my hand in my mouth to sooth me... not just a finger or two... but the whole hand... and sometimes both hands...

i can sleep on the sofa when other grown-ups are busy...

i also like to have a companion to sleep... my umi here... (partially shown :) )

and my baba here....

i can even sleep in the hypermarket...

yes... i can sleep anywhere...

... even when someone's shaving my head!!

i'm online!!

Apart from just lying down on my back most of the time, all i do all day is poo-poo and sleep…. woohoo it’s a wonderful life…

I love umi and baba!!
