3 weeks old!!!

Time really flies very fast ... Siti Aisyah is already 3 weeks old. Can you imagine that ... seemed like it was only yesterday that she arrived ...

Here she is, after bathing and dolling up. All snuggled up in her bed ...
After a while ... she would fidget and fidget and presto her arms are free. She prefers it that way ... wonder who she is looking at ...
Close up of Siti Aisyah ... doesn't look quite pleased ... well ... she is sleepy now. So she prefers the bed more than the flash of the camera :)

Nevertheless ... Syukur Alhamdullilah to Allah who has blessed us with Siti Aisyah. Guide us to be good parents and guide us in the path to bring our children up to be good people. Amin ... Guide us in our path to build our family and grant us blessings, health and happiness. Amin ...

Bathing time ...

Snapped some shots of my princess bathing ... from the looks of it, it seems like she doesn't quite like water. Wonder why ... Ashraf loves water, he hates it when he has to leave the tub.

Dear princess in Abi's arms ... Abi is heating the betel leaves for Aisyah ... tuam her body so that she will not suffer from wind or cold.
Close-up view ... all snuggled up nice and warm ....
But not before she screamed her lungs out ... the problem is that she disliked being wake up for bath. So the moral of the story is to wait for her to wake up and then bath her ...

Cool Dude!!!

Lately Ashraf has gotten himself a new license ... license to drive the scooter (the 3 wheels version). Here are some pictures of him ... showing off his new interest.

Hehe ... so how do i look???
Just a year old but knows how to make himself a cool dude ...

our little princess

Our dear Princess Aisyah ... with her sidekick ... CareBear!!! Wonder what they are looking at???

Here she is after bathing ... she doesn't like to be bundled up ... just like her brother ... she will try to break free when she can.
Here she is, posing with a baby hat ... all dressed and dolled up from head to toe ...
Ssh ... do tread quietly here. Princess Aisyah is falling asleep in her grandma's arms ... so comfy and nice ... Rock a bye baby in grandma's arms ...
All snuggled up and ready for sleep in her little basket. But now she has upgraded herself from basket to mattress. She's like her mom ... claustrophobic, doesn't like to be constricted by space :P [hates it when my space is being invaded ;P]

Allahu Akbar!!!

On this very day, Ashraf was very restless during Maghrib. Wondering why ... we let him out of his playpen. He headed straight for the prayer mat and started to sujud while reciting Allahu Akbar. At first it seemed like coincidental ... but when he started doing again and again ... it's no doubt that he is copying us doing our prayers ...

This time, we put on the sarong on him. Macam pak haji kecil sedang dengar khutbah!
Here he is, sujud in his own way ... May Allah bless him and guide him always :)
Here he is, posing and all ... how??? Ada tokoh Ustaz???

Ashraf 1st Birthday

As promised ... here are some photos of Ashraf's 1st birthday party. There are other photos too ... but available on my yahoo photos. Just follow the link on the sides.
Here Abah Long and Mama Long together with Kak Atiqah and Kak Aliyah helped to put the decorations together ... after much puffing and huffing ... tada ....










Next comes the performance by all Kakaks ... following the tune from the electronic organ, Kakaks sang and danced several songs ... all prepared for Ashraf :)










It started as two of us and now there are four, Nazzer, Ashraf, Aisyah and me ...

Someone is a year older ...

A year ago at 1139 in the morning, a baby's cries was heard from the operating theatre. A year later, the baby has grown a year older with all the energies and spunkiness in the world ... the baby is none other than Muhammad Ashraf Bin Mohammed Nazzer ...

Happy Birthday to You

Happy Birthday to You

Happy Birthday dear Ashraf

Happy Birthday to you ...

So what has he achieved so far ... alhamdullilah ... one of his common vocab is Allah ... followed by Abah, Tok Bak, Kakak, mam-mam, and many more. He is able to grasp onto things and pull himself up. Even to the point of climbing up the gate :) (see the pictures in the previous posting).

But the most important part is that he has a loving nature beneath his hyperactiveness :) he loves his sister and he shows this by putting his head on his sister's head. What more can we ask for ... alhamdullilah ...

Watch out for more photos when we hold a simple family gathering to celebrate his first birthday ...

Ashraf's antics

Why does Tok Yang cover his nose with his hanky??? Any takers?

It's because Ashraf has just bit his nose! It's Ashraf's way of greeting his Tok Yang who has taught him to do so. Serious ... sounds unbelievable but it's true :) So do watch out your nose when you want to kiss Ashraf.
See the similarities between Ashraf and his Atuk??? Winning smiles :)
Nazzer is simply mad about Spiderman. Here is evidence that his Abi's interest is passed down to his son ... Ashraf is now busy climbing staircases and door gates without any fear. He is simply fearless!!!
So why does he climb the gate? So that he can reach the door bell and press the button.

2 weeks already ...

Quietly the sands of time has passed by and now it's already more than 2 weeks since Siti Aisyah arrived. Here she is, catching up on beauty sleep ... babies need about 20 hours of sleep. Luxury huh ... wish I am a baby too ...

Now Aisyah opened her eyes after bathing ... her eyes is bit yellow due to jaundice. Alhamdullilah, now no more yellow eyes after days of sunning.
Guess what she likes now ... she likes honey!!! Serious! Hehe ... it so happened that we bought for her Winnie the Pooh pillow and bolster set. So she is like a little bear. The brother was liken to Donald Duck while the sister is like to Winnie the Pooh.

Brother & Sister

Will Ashraf get along well with his sister? Or will there be strong jealousy oozing out??? Syukur alhamdullilah ... when Aisyah arrived, Ashraf seem to be taken by his sister ... i shall let the pictures do the talking ...

Here is Ashraf first look at his sister ... he reached out his hand and with guidance, stroked his sister's head ...
Here he is ... showing his love by putting his head on his sister's. All done with his own will ... syukur alhamdullilah ...
Back at home with 2 sleepyheads ... Aisyah is busy with milk while Ashraf is busy turning around to pat his sister ...
Here they are together ... unfortunately with their mouths occupied :P ... will capture more of these precious moments ...

Presenting Siti Aisyah

Many apologise for the delay in uploading my little princess' photos. Need no further introduction ... here presenting Siti Aisyah Binti Mohammed Nazzer

After 16 hours in labour ... finally she appeared ....
Here she is just 1 days on planet Earth.

Arrival of Siti Aisyah

Alhamdullilah ... Many praises to Allah ...
We are pleased to annouce the arrival of Siti Aisyah Binti Mohammed Nazzer on Thursday, 2 November 2006 at 0659 hours at East Shore Hospital. She was borned at a height of 49 cm and weigh 2.82 kg.

Both Aisyah and I have discharged from the hospital since 3 November and now I am recuperating at home. So there is another Syawal baby in the midst ... same like the brother, Ashraf. There are some similarities between the 2 of them ...
1. Both of them are Thursday babies
2. Both of them are Syawal babies
3. Almost similar weight, Ashraf is 2.845 kg while Aisyah is 2.82 kg.
4. Almost similar height, Ashraf is 50 cm while Aisyah is 49 cm.

Due any time now

Eidilfitri has finally arrived ... and once again we meet the month of Shawal. And once again, it comes to the period when I am due to deliver any time soon. According to my gynae, I am due any time soon but it's life as per normal for me. Will continue with my duties in school ... no more classes, just being on standby for invigilation and preparing for the little new member of the family.

InsyaÁllah, we will be naming our little princess Siti Aisyah. I know that many of my friends named their princess Aisyah ... but we are smitten with the simplicity of the name. It just simply and pure. Get what I mean??? So I went online and look for the meaning ... this is what I get from http://www.muslim-names.co.uk/muslim-baby-girl-names-A-4.html.

Aisyah means ...

Life, Vivaciousness, Living Prosperous, Youngest wife of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

Budding musician

Ashraf has received his first birthday present ... very early birthday present, courtesy of his Atuk Yusof who brought it all the way from Malacca. For days, Ashraf has been playing with the box ... so today, we decided to give in to his curiosity and open it up.

Putting it all together wasn't an easy task. Ashraf was impatient and butts in the setting up process. Finally ... all put together and here it is, Ashraf's first performance!!!

Clap, clap, clap!!!

He poses with his organ before starting on the keyboard. He even move his body up and down following the tune ... moving to the groove, you see
Here is Ashraf playing around with the settings .... and checking with the speaker using his palm ...
Here he shows his cousins how to set the keyboard and playing with the keys to show the effects :)
Now is Ashraf at work ... with his little keyboard ... he has yet to see the microphone. Wait till we plug it in tomorrow ...

In short, Ashraf shows lots of interest in the keyboard ... (he better start practising to show his Atuk) so will he be a budding musician ... As he is, he is already playing around with his Uncle Haziq's guitar.

Should I enrol him in Yamaha Music School???

Pemergian seorang yang disayangi ...

Assalamuálaikum wr wb ...

Pada 26 Ramadhan atau 19 October 2006, seorang yang amat disayangi telah pulang ke Ramatullah. Hajjah Kamnah Bte Said telah meninggal dunia pada 12.30 pagi.

Semoga rohnya ada bersama mereka yang dikasihi Allah SWT.

Halalkan segala makan minumnya ... Ampunilah dosa-dosa jikalau ada terkasar bahasa ...

Amin
