Brotherly silliness

“No baby!” yells Ayub as Sulaiman clutches tightly to one of THREE Ultraman figures while pretending he can’t hear Ayub’s pleas… Ayub stares down at his little brother in building rage and threatens to...

Ayub’s new haircut

The hubby was shaving with his electric clippers outside in the front yard the other day for some reason. I didn’t ask why. He’s an anomaly. He talks a lot about nothing related to...

Sick Babies

Sulaiman and Ayub are both sick. Fever, cough, runny nose. Sulaiman’s phlegm made him vomit twice today. However, they don’t seem to have noticed anything. Still energetic little balls of mischief. Spent the evening...

Best Malaysian Breakfast

We usually have breakfast after the show because we start at 5am and don’t stop until 10am. And seriously, who has the time and the stomach to eat before 5am? One morning the boys...

Children Studio Photography

It has come to a point where it is impossible for me to take pictures of the boys together posing. Mostly because Ayub is either not in the slightest bit interested, or he’s overenthusiastic...

Homemade outdoor jacuzzi

Ayub’s new thing is to bathe outside in the dustbin. Ah youth. His imagination and practically definitely comes from his father. I don’t think I ever initiated anything as creative and fun as this....

The Best Child Care

I was 21 when I had Ayub. I knew nothing about child care. I depended heavily on my mother, which isn’t a bad thing, but in retrospect, I should have depended on myself. Fortunately for...

Superawesome Babycake

I receive weekly updates on my babies’ development from babycenter.com and this one came for Sulaiman today: Hmmm… “precrawl” exercise? My fat Sulaiman has been crawling since he was 5+ months. He’s so awesome....

Baby’s first tooth!

 After weeks of chewing on his fingers, sucking on his gums and sticking his tongue out, a tooth has arrived!! Sulaiman has been a little cranky, but because he’s such a good-natured baby, his...

Bubble the Bunny

Two weeks ago my dad rescued a bunny that was stuck in the middle of the road. He was tiny and malnourished and trembling in fear. Brought him home, put him in the garden...

Playtime with the boys.

I brought the babies out jalan jalan the other day. Ayub loves the arcade; he tries out everything, once in a while I’ll change money to tokens and let him play for real. But...

Boys fight a lot

Why do boys fight all the time? Adam never put me in a choke-hold when I was a baby. I never pulled his hair out when he was a toddler. Adam never pressed his...

Little jailbird

  Last week I brought Sulaiman upstairs to take his bath. Put him sitting down in his cot. Turned to fill the tub. Turned back and he was on his feet. 0_0 I think I...

Daddy and his babies

Daddy loves to kacau and kiss his babies. They don’t like it so much. As in, not at all. Smile! Sulaiman Sulaiman! Smile! “no kissing Daddy…” “Noooo… kissssssssing…” “I said NO!” Anyhoo, I was...

My babies.

It’s become impossible to get the boys to BOTH sit still long enough and look up at the same time to take a decent picture. You have to take multiple and just post them...

My Niece.

My Niece.

My niece is celebrating her 7th birthday tomorrow. My family hosted our Raya Open House today and this is the conversation my brother Adam and I had with her. Me: You’re so quiet today....

Baby be eating.

Sulaiman hates bananas. Loves carrots. And sweet potatoes. Got constipated. Bought him prune & apple juice. Haven’t tried that yet. Pears tomorrow. Disaster case. Other days are not so messy. Some days are worse....

6 month baby jab

 Sulaiman had his 6 month check up and jab last Saturday. He’s a big big baby now 🙂 Hitting quite a number of milestones early – sitting up on his own, crawling and pulling...

The baby in the mirror

Sulaiman gets little attention from his idol, Ayub. The odd times that Ayub looks in his direction it’s usually to scold him for touching his toys, to push him out the way of his...

Baby’s first meal!

Sulaiman was 6 months and 1 week old last week. So he had his first semi-solid food. Carrots! He like it. He like it a lot. He fat. So fat. Tasting, thinking, hesitating. Quite...

Raya Gaya Sedondon

Is that how it’s spelled? I dunno. I’m a banana. Prem got so excited and tickled last year when he discovered Malays wear the same coloured baju on Raya. I guess it is weird....

Sulaiman is 6 months old!

Happy Half-Birthday little munchkin of fatness 🙂 HAMAIGAAAD he is so damn cute. Masya’Allah. I love you Sulaiman. He can sit up if I put him in a sitting position, and move seamlessly to...

Langkawi Babymoon

Three years ago we had our first family holiday to Langkawi when Ayub was 1 year old. It also doubled up as my honeymoon coz the hubby and I never had one after we...

Prison Break!

Sulaiman tried to chew his way out of his cot the other day while Ayub and I jumped around on the bed next to him. Silly baby.              ...

Sulaiman is 5 months old :)

The fat one turned 5 months old last week. He’s been trying to crawl. Gets on his hands and knees and sways back and forth before tumbling over. SO CUTE I WANNA DIE! Big...
