Circumcision done

Last Saturday, Ahmad disunatkan. Alhamdullilah, the procedure went smoothly. Reaching the clinic, the nurse gave him some medicine to calm him down. After half an hour, he went into the surgery room with his Abah. 20 minutes later, both of them came out. The procedure was done. Surprisingly, we, including his Aunty Erah, Uncle Gee, Kak Hannah, Kak Hannis ... did not hear him cry. But the calm does not last long. 10 minutes after coming out of the surgery room, Ahmad started crying and crying non-stop, putting everyone in a frenzy. He was cranky ... but for the afternoon. Come evening ... he's back to his normal self. Alhamdullilah :) At least we don't have to worry about his circumcision when he grows older.
Here, he is ... calling his Abah Long, asking him to pick him up. This is after we have returned from the clinic. If you look closely, he follows some of his uncle features. Well ... now, it's a mixture of many features. Bit here and bit there ... but guess, Ahmad is satisfied now. His uncle, Abah Long, has finally carried him!
In the evening, after the circumcision, we realised Ahmad started sucking his fingers. Here, we caught him in the act. According to my aunt or to Ahmad's grandaunt, Nek Cuk ... babies who sucked their fingers will grow up to be smart. Not sure if it's true of not. To me ... it's an indication of him being able to make himself comfortable. An indication of his development :) ... it's a sweet sight, seeing him slowly putting his fingers to his mouth or when he moved his face so that he can put his mouth to his fingers.
As per normal, Ahmad's favourite activity - bath time. Now we need to soak his wound in salted water. We thought he would not like it or be difficult. To our amazement, he remained calm with a satisfied look on his face when we were soaking him. But he can't wait for his body to be soaked too ... kept moving his legs into a standing position so that he can move to a bigger bathtub.
here, i can't resist taking pictures of him in his new jumper, just after his bath. Ahmad is simply adorable here ...
