Smiley Face

This is the reason why I clock out 530pm sharp from office..or earlier :p

The other day, Emil tickled Shaqeel on his ears and he laughed out loud.... Ahhh just melts my heart...:)

Shaqeel's First Swim

We went to PD recently and stayed in Thistle Hotel. Emil had a business meeting so I followed him. It is very new, recently opened in July 2009. The hotel is beautiful but honestly, there's nothing to shout about.

Thistle Hotel, PD

While Emil was away for work, I brought Shaqeel for his first swim. We bought the swimming trunk a while ago and I have been dying to use it. Yesssssssss!

My Cutie Pie

Shaqeel loved the water. He was a bit dramatic initially, probably because the water was cold. He warmed up pretty fast. That's good since I looooooooove beach holidays. Anyway, I was alone, so there was no one to take a picture of Shaqeel in action. Next time, Adam Rizqin dan Emma will join kay.

Ampang Point

Semalam, aku dan Emil ke Ampang Point sans Shaqeel to buy a blanket for Pops. Pops is sleeping at our house tonight for Shahreel's wedding on Sunday. Anyway, after I was done with shopping, the salesperson ( a teenage boy aged probably around 15 ) said to me...

"Thanks, Aunty...................."

Huhuhuhu! I have to stress here that Shaqeel was not with me and I was casually dressed too. Macam mana boleh jadi Aunty ye? I thought I'm still a Kakak. Sheeeeeesh.

Note to self: Gotta spruce up my attire walaupun hanya ke Ampang Point.

Shaqeel and his Pediatrician

Right after Shaqeel was born, we were assigned a Pediatrician from Pantai Medical Centre, Bangsar. I did not like her initially because I felt that she wasn't too friendly. And she looks young, maybe in her mid 30s. Macam tak cukup experience gituh. I like old doctors.

Then, we decided to try a new Paed in Gleneagles by recommendation. I was hoping we would eventually change Shaqeel's Dr to the new one because he's old and it's also nearer to our house. This new Dr is fantastic with children. He made a lot of jokes with Shaqeel, although the one laughing is me. Hehe

Anyway, I asked him 3 questions;

1)Why does Shaqeel sound like he has blocked nose?
2)What is the bump/bruise I see on his upper arms? I freaked out a bit when I saw it the first time. It looked like a sting.
3)Kenapa Shaqeel bangun each time I put him down even though he is in a deep sleep. Haha.. nih pun nak tanya.

So peaceful. Macam ni 10 pun takpe hehe

The Dr answered:

1)That's completely normal for newborns because their airways are still small. So their breathing sounds blocked, but no need to worry yaaaa
2)Ohhh, that's the BCG marks. It's normal for the marks to look bruise like.
3)That's normal too. It's just what some newborns do. They have the startle reflex. When you put him down, he might flail his arms because he could not control it yet. The flailing arms will wake him up. The solution? Swaddling.

Alhamdulillah Shaqeel sihat. Butttttttt I paid RM463 to be told everything is normal kuikuikui

Flyingggggggggggg

Emil likes to hold Shaqeel in this position, with one hand no less. Shaqeel looks like he's flying. Maybe you want to be a pilot one day, son? Mommy can fly for free then...hihihi

Shaq looking berkilat but he's fairer now huhu

Love

Now I understand why some people can not stop talking about their children..huhuhu
