Fifth month - Mia my baby

Mia is now 5++ month old. God!!..time is running way too fast.. seems like yesterday i gave birth to this angle..as you might wonder where is Mia, well Mia is now taking her afternoon nap..or otherwise i can't be here.Hehehe..Through my reading, Mia's development is so far so good. Below are some of my reading if you might thinking and wondering what are the development for 5 month old babies.

• Sounds and bubbles - baby has discovered many sounds that she can make with her tongue and lips. You may observe her delighting in bubbles and razzing sounds, sometimes even as she drinks or eats. These sounds may make you laugh or turn away. She is exploring what sounds she can make, and you probably hear the same sounds over and over.

Early morning, it's not alarm who wake us up..but Mia's voice..so loud that makes us awake..hehehe.. should thanks Mia for this..During playtime, she always make funny and freak sound. Now, I can recognize the sound when her mood is good or bad..i like to hear those bad mood sound..hahaha..don't confuse..its not a crying sound ya..

• Sense of humor - Another precious sound often heard around this time is baby's laugh. Without knowing, you may do something silly that tickles her funny bone and out come the first chuckles. These are priceless sounds that most parents want to hear again and again. Your wandering fingers all over her pudgy belly, accompanied by the inevitable parental "gitchee-gitchee-goo" are bound to entice more giggles. Another way to make a baby laugh is to laugh back at her jokes. If she thinks you or she has done something especially silly, laugh with her. There is always time for a few shared belly laughs with your baby.

  Does your baby smile when you sneeze? Perhaps because of the funny sound or the contorted expression on your face. If you repeat the sound that you just made, "Ha-Choo," it sounds a lot like a popular vowel-consonant combination of babies, "Ah-Goo." Some babies repeat this sound over and over. Say it back. She'll love the attention and think she is having an important conversation. Try to figure out if she is using a particular sound when she is hungry, tired, or wants to play. These are important sounds and she is learning how to use to tell you what she needs.

Indeed..it's all true..it's all what happen with Mia..either we sneeze or cough, she will laugh..but there something weird about Mia..She likes loud and sudden sound.. she will shocked at first and then laugh..What laaa.

• Physical development - Around this time, a lot of babies enjoy being put into a sitting position. Baby loves this vantage point as she can watch her own body and all the interesting things around her. She probably has a somewhat curved back and may put her hands in front of her to prop herself up. She is getting stronger every day.
  
  
  Occasionally she may straighten up or let go of one hand to grab a toy. You may want to surround her with soft cushions in case she topples over. She will be thrilled when you sit beside her. Watch how proud she is to be in the same position as her parents. Now she is ready for sitting in the high chair and joining the family at meals. This is a major accomplishment that makes a baby feel like part of the family.

Mia always love sitting or standing position. But of course me or husband need to hold her.. tired because when standing, she is so active..turn here and there, try to grab things.. well, that's my Mia. If you hold her to stand or sit quietly, she will make a bad mood sound..hehehe

Diaper change time is the most struggle moments as now Mia is mastering the art of rolling over, kind of martial art she know..hehehe..so I've learnt a Kung Fu's techniques to make her stay..hahaha

Long time no write

It's amazing how time flies,huh? i am really a horrible blog-keeper, right? well,admitted. Hehehe.. So much has been going on and i'm going to try to summarize my life to all of you up here. There is so much happiness, so much fun and yet so much painful i faced since my last post here. But don't worry. Fun + Happiness - Painful= Neutral...Gladly, i have a normal life.

Below are my life in bullet point(easy way to summarize)

• A new chapter in my life. 19 Jan 2010 is the date when i feel so much pain but ended with so much happiness. Yes..Pain of childbirth will be recover as soon as you see the cutest face on earth. Trust me..because its happen to me..no doubt..Little angel name is Damia Husna..Means "most beautiful wisdom" . The moment I saw her..feel so relief..Her little face, little toes, little fingers..hehehe..That moment I was thinking.."hah, this is the one who always kick my tummy from inside..now I know her face..you are so naughty inside there"..hehehe. Anyway, million of thanks to Hospital Pusrawi, Kota Damansara esp Dr Zulkhairi. At first,I was hesitated because he's a male doctor but hubby was so calm..saying no gender differences only how they treat their patients besides hubby was all the time right beside me. Start from the antenatal check-up to giving birth, my husband is always with me. By the way,Dr Zul deserved appreciation from my family for his kindness and a very comfortable environment he gave us. Credit to Dr Zul..and not to forget to Mr Zulkarnain Jamali. Thank you for being there and making it less painful for me.

• 9 Feb 2010 my little angel, Mia..was admitted at Hospital Pakar Kanak-Kanak An-Nur, Bangi and only discharged 4 days later which is on 13 Feb 2010. Reason..flu and cough. Her Paed, Dr Siti Arbaiyah was worried because Mia is a newborn baby which is only 21 days.. so they want to closely monitor her simptom as they afraid it became worst or even affected by asthma. Luckily, Mia is now so so healthy..& may she maintain healthy forever n ever..hehehe..I cried a lot during those 4 days..so poor my little angel..Husband was so kind to take 1 single deluxe room at Hospital An-Nur for me as to be near to our baby and also because i am still under confinement period. Mia was warded at Special Care Nursery which is I was so lucky as it is the same level with my room..All the nurses at this level already know me since I always passing through their area..I make some friend there too..Hmm, whatever it is, i pray hard that Mia will never ever has to come back here.

• 3 March 2010 was a last day of my confinement..But I still 'pantang' on certain food such as yam,"pucuk rebung", young coconut and definitely no-no to ice...well to what elders always said as to maintain youthful looks we must sacrifice certain desire..hehehe..sure i want to look young forever,aren't we? Confinement is super important to allows the body heal after pregnancy, of course..Personally, for me..confinement is not that bad..because we will having a very good rest time for 44 days after the struggle of giving birth and the 9 months challenging journey..the only thing that I do during my confinement period is all about my own health and take care of my baby.. Things like massage, hot stone (tungku), body's wrap (barut) and herbal bath is something new to me and yet still ok la with me..During those time, my mother even not allowed me to sweep the floor :) n definitely most of the time i was in front of tv..hahaha..about the food, well i am not big eater..so i'm ok with the foods..

• 30 March 2010 I had infected by chicken pox..poor me..i was not allowed to touch Mia until the red rash with blister gone..it's take about 7-8 days..huhuhu..when Mia is around , i wear mask to avoid Mia from getting infected by me..I was damn worried..not about me..but Mia..she still a baby..poor her if she get infected..

• 16 April 2010 Husband also infected..adohai..but it's took longer for him to recover..the scar until now in June is so obvious..maybe because his skin is fair so the scar looks this way..maybe..He get MC around 10 days..But he is now ok with polka dot body..hahaha..don't worry hubby, in my eyes you are still sexy as sexy leopard...Grrrr..hahaha
