Red House

Once upon a time, there lived Papa Red

 

Mama Red

 

and cute little Baby Red.

 

And they lived happily ever after.

The End.

My Cousin's Wedding

We crossed the border over the weekend to see my cousin get married. There's no need to explain the pictures of course which is just as well cos my brain juices have somehow dried up and I can't quite figure out what to write for each picture. It's self explanatory, no? And of course, every trip to KL must, must, must be gastronomically indulgent which explains the trip to that steakhouse. We also discovered that Carl's Jr is now in KL but the outlet at Megamall wasn't open for business yet. Boohooohooo!! We are soooooo going there again soon for Carl's Jr. I love, love, love (halal) food in KL!! Errr... How did something that's supposed to be about Fairul & Halimaton turn into a food-fest? We love, love, love Fairul & Halimaton too. Presenting, Fairul & Halimaton's wedding!

How has Huda grown and developed?

(This is an attempt to redo the progress report that I have killed off.)

One of my major concerns with Huda is her appetite and her (poor) weight gain. She's 7kg now, still below the 3rd percentile but not that far off. The target is to reach 8kg by her 18th month and I really hope we can achieve that. That caloric powder her dietitian prescribed may be helping her to gain weight. There are occasions when she'll eat a lot. She likes biryani rice, prata and corn kernels. If I cook her porridge with corn kernels and fish, she'll just pick on the corn kernels.

 

 

Sweet Seventeen

I was writing a 'progress report' of sorts, about Huda at 17 but I clicked a few wrong buttons (one of which is that X at the corner of the page), and my lengthy report disappeared.

Why am I writing progress reports? Could it be because I heard it's CA week in most schools and I'm not around to enjoy it? Heh.

E is for Exhausted

Lately, I notice that I have been exhorting people to enjoy their pre-baby lives and in the process, I may have painted such an unsavoury picture of motherhood.

-

I was about to write a long whiny post about how all pregnant mothers (and all females who intend to be mothers) must absolutely treasure all the free time they have now before the baby comes along.

But, I can't bring myself to do it. Because, when Huda's sleeping (like she is now), she looks like an angel and nowhere near the little Terror who tires me out in five minutes flat. (Maybe I need to exercise more)

-

I'm still awake cos I read A Thousand Splendid Suns earlier and can't get it out of my head.  It's an excellent read but why can't it let me sleep?

Sometimes

It's been a month (or two? or three?) since I last uploaded photos here. It's inertia. Which Mr KBW says is the reason why parents do not insure their children. But we're not such inert(?) parents cos we just insured Huda. Anyway, these are random pictures of Huda. Somehow, the parents didn't make the cut this time round. So here's Huda doing some everyday stuff.

And sometimes, the mother is completely irrelevant.
