in the span of a few minutes ...

It's already past Maghrib and it's time for bedtime ... especially for Ashraf. But does he want to sleep tonight .... NOooooooo ... here he is, crying in protest and mumbling and babbling ... in his baby language, perhaps he was saying ... NOoooo ... I am not sleepy yet .... I wanna play!!!
The very next second, he turned around and looked up ... what happened next?
He started smiling and laughing away ... can you believe this little munchkin!!! He was crying one minute and the next laughing ... Nazzer and I cannot make head or tail of this except that Ashraf wants us to play with him ... Aww ... so endearing, right ...
He is ... putting his head down to rest finally with a smile on his face. So what he wants after all is for us to play with him before settling him down to sleep ... sigh ... our little son ...

all in a day of Ashraf's busy life :P

Ashraf is getting active and more playful as each day passes by ... here are some snapshots of him keeping himself and others around him busy ...

Nothing will get in his way ... even a small mattress would part him and the string which his cousin has used to taunt him ...
Okay ... here's the plan ... Kakak will put the jigsaw puzzle together and I will mess it up for you, k ... heheh ... yes ... he really messed up the jigsaw puzzles his cousins has put nicely together ... so moral of the story ... don't do jigsaw puzzle with him. Unless you want to mix the pieces up ...
Eh ... What's Aunty reading? Hmm ... the new paper ... any article interesting for me???

Eh ... where's Ashraf? Where there is curtain ... Ashraf will be around somewhere, playing with the curtain. Above shows him entangling himself in the curtains ... much to his glee. So ... no long curtains ... According to his Nek Yang ... Ashraf's ummi likes to hide herself behind curtains. According to his Wan, Ashraf's Abi like to swing himself from one place to another using the curtains ... so ... you get the picture where Ashraf get this liking for curtains ... :P

sleep time!!!

It's sleep time for little Ashraf ... but even in his sleep, he still is very active that he can no longer sleep in his own bed. He roams around in his sleep and his own bed is too small for him ... see below, the many different sleeping positions and see how he moves about in the span of one night ....

It started like the above with Ashraf in between his Abi and Ummi ... then ...
he turns to the side and decides to be closer to the pillow instead ... then
he prefers the other pillow and so he turns again ...
Nope ... not a comfortable sleeping position ... he decides to make a 180 degrees turn and sleep ...

So what happens to his Abi and Ummi ... either we keep waking up and turn him to the original position or we just follow him and change our sleeping positions. Well ... since you can't beat him ... join him ...

Play time.....

Alhamdullilah... Praises to Allah all mighty.. for his generousity and blessing... Ashraf have grown to be quite an active baby.
Yet Ashraf developments ... are genuinely his friendliness & active observation to his surroundings... and of course... healthy competition among his similar age group... as well

Ashraf Cukur Rambut

It's a tradition for muslim to practice ... "Cukur rambut"...which means.. hair triming. It's usually done for newborn or infant, form of appreciation to Allah blessing in providing the couple for a healthy baby and may we wish for better prosperity and future continous health.
In Ashraf case, it's rather overdue but it's better late than never. : )




Ashraf appears abit daze... See how comfortable Ashraf is, infact his behaviour during the whole ceremony was well behaved.
Ashraf did joined in the quran recitation at times... until he doze off at Abi's lap.... ; )




Tok Uchu... (moyang uchu)... Abi's religious teacher, start the ceremony.












Here's the bowl of water that holds ashraf curl, after it's being trim off.
Anyway, Ashraf need a real haircut after this, his hair beginning to thicken and cause him to look rather messy at times..
Barber time... i guess...

Yummy... egg yolk... : )

It's always a pleasure when it's ashraf feeding time now...
He have started consume food by spoon feeding.
Biscuits, porridge, nestum, cream puff, bread, fruit juice, papaya...
and of course... egg yolk...
Just look here...

Hide N Seek

We apologised for the long long absence... The main reason is.... we kinda misplaced our digital camera... searching high and low... finally... we found it...


Ironicly, there's so much to update of ashraf progress...

Look here... Even ashraf was trying to help us...


Abi.... Let me help Umi and you to locate the misplace digi camera.... Let's start under the chairs...














I believe.. it should be somewhere inside... please hold on... ya....










Aha.... this looks familar... could this be???

Eh eh.... that was the digicamera casing.... But where is the camera?? alamak... Where could it be?? Let me think....
