Apa Apa Apa

Kemaren malem saya kaget denger Asha ngoceh dua suku kata dan kedengeran seperti, "apa,apa,apa". Hehe.. Dan dia ngulang2 terus ocehannya itu. Wajah dan bibirnya itu loh waktu bilang "apa,apa,apa" ga nahan banget >_<

Setelah sebelumnya dia ngoceh, "ngga ah", sekarang tambah lagi vocabulary nya, "apa,apa,apa". Jyahahaha :D

I'm so happy and excited that Asha achieved another milestone at her 6+ moths. Just a couple days left before she turns 7 months old. The time flies so fast :')

Asha Won't Sleep

Asha is almost 7 months old now. Lately she had new habit : she poo almost every night. Often i didn't notice that Asha already poo on her diapers. It's all because she didn't look like she wanted to poo, i thought she just fart. Hee.. So we continued playing around in bed, giggling, tickling, hugging, until she finally got ranky because she felt asleep, but she didn't want to sleep. At first i didn't know what was a matter with her. Until i decided to check her diaper and voilaaaa the big bumped waiting to be cleaned! :D

It happened several times. Now i know whenever she looks asleep but she just can't sleep, that mean she had done big bussines on her diaper that needs to be cleaned. If she able to talk, maybe she'll say "mommy clean my butt please, it moist and uncomfortable down there, i can't sleep". Hehe..

After i cleaned her butt and changed the diaper, she slept right away. What a smart baby. You got me amazed, dear baby! Now whenever she won't sleep, i'll just check the diaper, maybe she just done another big bussines down there. Hehe :D

Jempol Kakiku

Asha sudah 6,5 bulan. Makin besar, makin tinggi. Sekarang kakinya udah mulai panjang dan bisa digapai oleh tangannya terus dimasukin ke mulutnya :D Sebenernya udah dari minggu kemaren Asha udah mulai melahap jempol kakinya. Tapi awalnya masih sering lepas2, sekarang makin mahir masukin jempol kaki ke mulutnya. I think that's another milestone for Asha at her 6 months old :D

*btw ada fotonya sih. cuma karena satu dan lain hal, masih belum bisa upload foto di beberapa post terakhir. sigghh..

Sekarang kalo dibiarin mainan sendiri di kasur, dia pasti sibuk menggapai2-gapai kakinya dan berusaha masukin jempol kaki ke mulutnya. Seru deh liatin usaha pantang menyerahnya dan muka2nya yang penuh semangat ituuu. Hiburan saya setiap malam sebelum tidur :) 

Another milestone this month is, Asha sekarang ngocehnya lebih jelas. Dan terdengar seperti dia bilang "ngga ah". Dan dia hobi banget mengulang-ngulang ocehannya yang "ngga ah" itu. How long does it take for her to start calling me "ibu", yaa? Ga sabar nunggu Asha bisa ngomong... :D

Ahhh..the baby grows so fast. I wonder what will she do next?

The Milestone Day

Sabtu Minggu adalah hari dimana saya dan suami bisa menyaksikan milestone nya Asha. She grows so fast lately. Sabtu Minggu kemaren Asha sukses membuat kami terheran-heran dan terkagum-kagum dengan tingkahnya. Beberapa milestones dia weekend kemaren :

1. Asha mulai belajar berdiri dengan cara menyandarkan badannya ke badan saya (tanpa saya pegangi loh). Kalo dia mulai merasa cape, dia duduk deh. Pantatnya itu lohh megal megol banget deh kalo berdiri :D

2. Asha mulai bisa duduk dengan stabil dan bisa mengangkat sendiri badannya dari posisi duduk senderan ke posisi duduk tegak. Horeee :D

3. Asha minum sendiri pake Doidy cup nya. Walau pada akhirnya baju dan kursinya basah kuyup semua. Soalnya hampir sebagian air di Doidy cup nya bukan masuk mulut, malah ditumpah-tumpahin. Hehe.. Mau belajar mandi sekalian kali yaa.. :D

4. Asha makan semangka sendiri. And she loves watermelon so much! :D Akhirnya berhasil juga BLW-an walau berkali2 diprotes sama ibu. Haha..

5. Asha naik ojeg!! Ini yang paling seru. Sambil saya gendong, Asha nampak kaget naik ojeg (motor) pertama kali. Asha mencengkram erat baju saya sepanjang jalan naik ojeg, sambil melotot ngeliatin jalanan. Seruuu :D


Oya, Sabtu kemaren kami sempet foto box di Papyrus Foto @ Ciwalk. Asalnya mau foto studio sekeluarga. Sesuai rencana saya semula yaitu, mau foto studio tiap 3 bulan sampai Asha umur 1 tahun. Tapi karena Asha udah kecapean habis imunisasi dan hubby juga kayanya males (lemes berhubung puasa), akhirnya batal deh foto studio. Tak jadi foto studio, foto box pun jadi. Sayang bo, Asha udah saya dandanin cakep-cakep dan saya juga udah sengaja pake make up dari rumah. Haha..ogah rugi dasar. Kali ini Asha agak bisa diajak kerjasama foto studio dibanding waktu dia masih umur 2 bulan. *yaiyalaahh ini mah emaknya sableng ngajak bayi umur 2 bulan foto studio ;p* Walau cuma 1 frame doang yang Asha nya liat kamera, sisanya dia malah melongo liat layar. Hehe.. Ah bulan depan mau foto box lagi ah... :D

Menu For The First Week

It's been more than a week since the first time Asha started the first meal. I gave her fruits for her first meal other than porridge because fruits are simpler to digest.  Fruits contain simple sugar, while rice or any high carbo meal contain complex sugar which needs more complex metabolism process. According to book i read, "Makanan Bayi Sehat Alami", fruits are better serve as baby first meal. So i was right :D

*by the way, the book is recommended. it explains healthy and natural food for baby, how to introduce meal to baby, do and don't baby food, tips, recipes, and so on. the book is hard cover, using high quality glossy paper. good book*

This is Asha's menu last week,

Asha's first fruit is red melon. Why? Because red melon good for baby poo. 

I gave cavendish for Asha because it's good for baby.

Avocado is Asha favorite fruit. She eat avocado alot and can't stop. Hihi.. :)

This baby orange, Asha didn't like it. Maybe it tastes like syrup she took at hospital and she hate it. 

Remembering her at the time she was sick. Just my guess.

Asha didn't poo for two days after she eat papaya. But at the third day, she poo alot :D

Manggo. I don't know if she likes it or not. 

Because i wasn't there to see Asha eat her manggo. But my aunt said, it was okay.

I follow the rule to give each fruit in two or three days before i change into other fruit. This is important to see whether Asha allergic to any of that fruits. Asha ate twice a day. I added breastmilk into the fruit to adjust the consistency and to help Asha swallowed the fruit.

To smashed and served fruits for Asha, i used this Pigeon Food Maker 

Pigeon Food Maker

This Pigeon Food Maker is so useful, i smashed and served fruits from the same bowl. It comes with small spoon that perfect for baby's first spoon. Asha loves her spoon, she often grabbed it from my hand and took it to her mouth :D

After two weeks then i can mixed two fruits in a day. Fruit section at grocceries now become my best friend. 

I love to see Asha eat. Her million dollar expression when she tried different menu is my favorite part. And my happiness is to see Asha opens her mouth widely when i spoon fed her. Priceless!

Half Year Asha

Yeaayyy.. Asha is 6 months old today. Happy monthlyversary dear baby! Mom and Dad love you so much :*

The time is running so fast. She has been with us for the past half year now. Tough there were so many up and down through this past 6 months, we're so grateful that our baby girl grows healthy and beautifuly. Celebrating her 6 months old is also celebrating my self whose able to provide enough breastmilk for her. Thanks God. I'm not saying that Asha had exclusively breastfeed. Because right after she was born, hospital gave her formulated milk. And as i said in previous post, i gave Asha her first meal 5 days earlier before today. So, is it still count as exclusively breastfeed or not?

My 6 months old baby girl grows fast. She learns how to grab stuff and put it i her mouth, she learns to chew food, she learns to sit, she smiles a lot, screaming and babbling a lot, she's no longer fits in her 3-6 month onesies and her 0-6 month legging. She is my precious. My love to her grows stronger everyday.

Happy 6 months old, dear Asha! Enjoy your meal, darling! Stay health, stay great! Hug and kiss from Mom and Dad.
