Developmental Milestone : 9 months

Assalamulaikum,

Lamanya tak update blog with Firdaus' progress. Last milestone recorded was when he was 6 months. Sekarang dah 9 bulan. Terlampau banyak perkembangan dia sekarang.

OK last check up, he dropped a little weight ; currenly 8.9 kg with I think dalam 73cm length kot. I don't think the nurse record this in his chart. Nevermind. 

Dia sangat aktif sekarang dan dah ada kehendak, which means kalau dia taknak, dia akan toleh dan tepis dan kalau dia hendak sesuatu, dia akan bergerak ke arah benda yang dia hendak tu lah.  Sekarang dia dah pandai merangkak. He started crawling dalam 7 1/2 month and got stronger dalam 8 bulan lebih sikit. Now dah 9 bulan, dia dah pandai berdiri dan meniti along the furniture. Harap-harap tak lama lagi berjalan la tu.

He is still breastfed dan sangat susah nak makan. He can live a day tanpa solid food and he hates solid food - tak kisah la apa jenis food pun. Since he is a picky eater, my mother suggested Cerelac. I never wanted to give my baby Cerelac / Nestum or whatever processed food like that tapi memandangkan kalau suap real food kat dia, dia tepis/tolak/menangis/terajang semua, I had to consider the option so I tried bagi Cerelac and he likes it. Aduh anakku ini. Why? But considering that dia memang takkan makan anything else, I had to relakan he eat Cerelac once a day and in between, I try sneaking some mashed rice or fish or sweet fruit into his mouth whenever I am eating. 

He is also now very vocal. He says "ababah" or "bababababa" sometimes "papapapa" and occasionally kalau dia menangis and I dont care, he will say "maaaaa". Not sure if he intends to call us or just saje suka suka blab bunyi bunyian. 

 

My father says he is such a jovial kid. Memang pun, he smiles at almost anyone and whatever tricks. 

Two days ago, I started him on a routine. Kerananya, dia selalu tidur jam 2 pagi. Balik dari taska, selepas penat lelah bermain, dia akan tidur jam 7 sampai jam 9 selalunya dan terjaga dan tidur semula at 2 am. Oih, I cannot do lah liddat. Penat kot. So, 2 hari sudah, after returning from Taska, I fed him solids (Cerelac), mandikan dan carry him around the house agar dia tak tidur. And then we play together and let him watch babytv for 30 minutes sampai la dia mengamuk. On the first night, he slept at 10pm straight sampai pagi with 3 to 4 hours interval wake ups in between for comfort nursing. Semalam, he dozed off at 8pm, sama juga terjaga di tengah tengah malam 2 3 kali untuk confort nursing. Overall, it has been going on well. I got more sleep to walaupun, sebenarnya pagi pagi memang senantiasa mengantuk. I hope he can stick to this routine.  

 Masa ni dia dedor dedor nak demam, kita tak perasan dia tak sihat. Keje menangis tak renti renti. Memang agak naik darah jugak la.. tergertak sikit kat dia - ape ni keje nangis tak renti renti, penat la macam ni - terus dia merajuk tersedu sedan kat hujung katil. 

Tak lama kemudian, dia datang balik kat dia, baring cam ni... Ye la, nak merajuk dengan siapa lagi kan. Dengan Mama dia je la walaupun kena marah. T_T. Kesian baby! I put him to sleep, and then in his sleep baru terasa badan dia panas. Demam rupanya. Patutla merengek tak renti renti. Sorry, sayang! 

I kiss him like hundreds of times every day. Last night, since Firdaus is under sleep-training, my husband couldn't play with him lepas balik keje. He watched him sleep and then menangis, tacing sebab tak dapat main dengan anak. Ahehehe. Tak pe lah, for his own good jugak tidur awal kan. 

We love you, Firdaus. You are our everything!
