Amani Is Five Months Old

october & november were busy months for us that i've forgotten how fast amani grows. one blink and she's about to wean. i'm all excited to get her first food ready - i've taken out the steamber/blender and will get it thoroughly cleaned, i've taken out the baby food recipe books, i've saved baby food recipe photos. her brothers are also doing countdown for her big milestone.

amani had her 5 months check-up on the day amir's upsr results came out, which meant the whole team was at the hospital, which meant super noisy and super hectic. amani now weighs a whopping 7kg, just a little bit more before she is triple her birth weight, which is the ideal weight for a baby once they reach a year old. she's super fast on that count then...


amani's still a bit behind on activeness. she refuses to be put on her tummy. she'd put her head up for a bit then bring it back down and start screaming to be turned over. i give in to her sometimes, other times i scold her and get her to stay in the position longer than she wants. she needs her exercise, this girl! having said that, she's slowly showing signs of turning over. the top half of her body has turned, now its the bottom half that needs to follow for a complete turn.



amani's very alert now. she follows movement of everyone around her. she's looking around for people when its all quiet. she would scream to be carried when the quietness get a bit too much for her.

like her elder siblings, amani is a creature of habit. she wakes up at the same time, naps at the same time, asks for her bottle at the same time and goes to bed at the same time. now she's sleeping slightly earlier but wakes up when we're about to sleep to ask for her bottle. she's filling up her cot halfway and filling up her new rocker almost completely. she's such a big baby compared to the ickle amani who came home after her 5-day stint at the hospital.




amani's laughing and talking a lot, interacting a lot with all of us. cant wait for her to join us and our hectic-ness.
