sit-training

I can't sit up on my own yet, but Umi and Baba have been trying to sit-train me..

They started with the Bumbo baby seat in Baba's house in PJ. The seat is actually cousin Aimar's, and I've been using them freely since he's having so much fun blending in with the Japanese in Osaka. (Auntie Alma, gomen-neh!! We're using a lot of Aimar's stuff here, including but not limited to the baby seat, beep, playgym, diaper changing pad etc.) The seat's kinda funny looking, and if you turn it upside down you can clearly see the shape of a baby's buttocks!

What if you don't have a Bumbo baby seater? Well, don't worry... You can follow Baba's idea with an improvised seating device:

There is no rush to get me to sit up. After all, a baby's back is a fragile thing and it's only natural to let me grow up naturally and let nature take its course. Plus when I still can't sit up or move around on my own then I can get Umi and Baba to put me on their laps or carry me around, which is something that I really really like!


[Disclaimer : There are reports all around the Internet of hazards and accidents involving the Bumbo baby seat. So if you don't have one and thinking of getting one, I might as well get you informed. If you already have one, then do take care of your baby when using it.]


By the way, congrats to ChuNa for your excellent SPM results!! Yeay, we're gonna have a doctor in the family soon...!!

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!!

jumping jacks

You might be wondering what the previous post is all about. Actually, I'm trying to enter my first contest, happy moments. The Top 10 entries might stand a chance to win some cash. However, to get into the Top 10, I'm gonna need as many votes I can get from you guys. Apparently you can vote as many times as you like, so keep on voting!! The contest ends on the 31st of March 2008.

I've also entered the video below for the for the video category. It's my so-called new "skill", which Umi likes to call "Jumping Jacks". It's sort of like jumping, but a 6-month-young jump, which as you can see, isn't very high, and needs some backing from Umi as well. But I only do it when I'm really really really happy, and it's obviously a very happy moment for me to jump!! So vote for the video also HERE!!

Here's more of me and my "happy-maker":

it's so soft...


...and so huggable (although it's too big for me to hug)


and I love it because...


...it makes me happy always!!

So don't forget to vote for my BLOG and VIDEO everyday okay!!
