Avocado+pear puree

Avocado and pear puree is one of Asyfa's favourite puree. Favourite means kalau sua dia akan buka mulut tanpa paksaan.Cuba bagi carrot or pumpkin, hoh, berperang! Tapi mama takkan putus asa. Lepas ni nak try mix with chicken puree pulak. Maybe can improve the taste.

Avocado + pear puree

Makan sungguh sungguh

Mama tunjuk bakat seni fotografi

Licin! bagus anak daraku. Makanan faveret adalah jenisan mahal ye...

Lepas makan kena minum air, kalau tak mau tengok dia terkerut-kerut dahi sejam lepas makan. (a.k.a sembelit) This is the only way i can think of now of giving her water. Nasib ade banyak bekalan syringes taken from my clinic.

Review on Coway water filter

Since Asyfa dh start makan solid foods, it is a must for her to drink more water to prevent constipation. So baba & mama decided to install a water filter in our home. Semata2 taknak tgk asyfa minum air kotor..haha.Bertuah btol anak haji labu nih. After men-survey2, we got most positive feedback on Coway brand, so we agree to invest on this brand. Antara sebab-sebab we choose Coway :-

1. Ade hot & cold water. Takyah susah2 boil water/buat ais cube bile guest mai umah. (This function not so important yet for Asyfa since she's still fully breastfeeding,no need to bancuh2 susu)
2. Boleh bayar sewa bulan2. Mahal kot nak byr terus rm3k+.
3. Kelebihan bayar sewa bulan2 ni, org coway akan datang every 2 months to service our water filter. And its for Free!!
4. Its an RO water. with 6-step filtration. Nyah kau kuman2 sekalian..haha. InsyaAllah, dijamin sihat & bersih.
5. Their filter is certified Halal from JAKIM

Initially, kitorang pilih yang kecik comey tu, model Petit. button die gune censor , tekan sekali je. Once air dh penuh, die stop sendiri. Ofkoz mama sukeeee sgt. Hehe.

Tapi apakan daya, bile technician coway datang rumah, check our water pressure sangatlah rendah...5 psi sahaje...while minimum pressure required is 25 psi.

So terpakse tukar to the bigger one since this model ade own pump built-in. Function sume sama. Tapi yang beso nih tangki die 11 Liter !! Kitorg 3 beranak guna setengah bulan pun tak habis.

Nama saya Sally =)

RM 130 sebulan.

So far dah guna for about 1 week, puas hati la. Air pun rasa lebih sedap =) Tapi Asyfa still susah nak minum air kosong. She's just too used to mama's milk. Kene pujuk die bit by bit. Hopefully lama-lama die pun suke minum air kosong macam mama & baba. ( Really, we both drink plain water a lot . (And not to forget Aik Cheong's cofee tarik..ngehehe ) We only bancuh cordial when there's guest at home, and soft drinks like Coca cola tu sume lagilaaaa, never cross our mind!


p/s : Not sure about the water & eletric consumption though...will review about it after this month bill arrives =)

The 6 months old little girl who can stand by herself =)

Dear Asyfa sayang,
You are amazingly fast little girl u know...
Here are your achievement by your age of 6 month old.
Mama simpan kat sini untuk tontonan awak di masa depan yer =)

This picture was taken a week before asyfa turns 6 month old =)

Chasing the Astro remote control , eventually managed to grab the remote and put inside her mouth!

Able to sit without support at 6 months old sharp!

Yeah, you saw it right! She can climb her baba's leg on her own, and stand on her own foot. Of course, kene berpaut at least with 1 hand anywhere lah =) This is 1 week after she turns 6 month old.

Muka sedikit-gayat-tapi-bangga =)

Happily standing inside her playpen, shouting to get her mama's attention. "Mama,please get me out of here! I want to crawl everywhere! "

Finally, tumpas jugeeee. For about 40 mins sahaje...huhu.There goes her morning nap. Pastu bangun and perang dgn mama lagi. huhu.

Lain-lain perkara about this little genius :-

1. Makin kuat bubbling. Nyaring dan lantang!
   
2. Pandai sebut 'mama' & 'baba' & sometimes 'amma', 'appa'...well,obviously she doesnt aware of that what that words mean. But as her parents, we always get excited whenever she calls us like that.
   
3. Kalau tersedar dari tidur, terus tergolek2 lantas terus terduduk. Pastu look around,tgk orang takde, mulela melalak.
4. Started to have stranger anxiety, especially guys! paknjang-pakndak-paklang (my brothers) & cik are-cikman (haji labu's brothers) - failed. paklong,cik ji (favourite), paksu, tok walid,atok - passed. Nangis bukan main kuat kalau nampak orang yang ditakuti.
   
5. Everytime nak tido, is like a battlefield for me. Taktau nape susah sangat nak tido anak daraku ini. Nak kene peluk, tepuk, dodoi bagai...sometimes may take up to 2 hours! End up mama & baba had dinner at 12 midnight! Takleh nak start masak since she totally rejects her baba time nak tido. Baba takde her favourite susu!
6. Suka sangat main henfon mama & laptop baba.
   

Our weekend - penyediaan bekalan bahan memasak untuk seminggu-

Semenjak berpindah rumah baru dan tempat kerja baru ni, Alhamdulillah, saya ada lebih masa untuk memasak di rumah. Suke la Hj Labu ku itu, breakfast bawak bekal, lunch pun ade bekal, dinner-homemade juge..hehe. Haji Labu memang tak suka makan kat luar. Saya pun happy,dapat sediakan yang terbaik buat suami & anak.Homemade kan lebih terjamin kualiti nutrisi & kebersihannye. Sedap tak sedap lain ceghita lah. So setiap weekend, NSK trade city adelah wajib dikunjungi untuk beli bekalan lauk pauk seminggu. (saya tak tahu dgn org lain, tapi bagi kami, berbelanja di situ memang sangat berbaloi) Balik dari shopping, saya spend about 2-3 hours di dapur, bersilat dengan ayam,ikan,udang,sotong,etc.. Siang semua siap2, bahagikan amaun cukup2 untuk 1 meal, gaul kunyit garam mana yang perlu, and siap packing dalam plastik kecik2.

Apepun, before beli barang, saya siapkan menu planner seminggu. Tak perlu pening kepale mentawaf NSK berkali-kali. Dengan cara ni, dapat jimat masa. Dah tau apa nak beli, just pilih n grab aje =)

Bawang dah dikopek

Siap di blend & di label

Inilah rupa nya freezer saya yang sangat padat. Ruang atas dan sebahagian bawah (belakang lauk pauk tu) penuh dengan EBM. Lauk pauk bersusun di barisan depan. Siap di label, senang nak capai.

Sayur-sayuran pun siap basuh,potong,packed & labeled. Kerja memasak pada hari bekerja menjadi super senang. Bangun pukul 6.30 pun sempat lagi masak sambal udang + sayur campur untuk bekal lunch =) (ok,aci la sebab dari rumah nak ke tempat kerja hanya 5-10min)

Bagi saya, bila kita memasak untuk orang tersayang, ia bukanlah satu beban. Ia sungguh membahagiakan tahu?
Nak pikat hati suami, ikat lah perutnya dulu kan?

Asyfa's first solid food- pear puree-

Saya start bagi Asyfa makan her first solid food bila umur dia 5 bulan 22 hari. Awal seminggu sebab mama terlebih excited! hehe. Her first food was pear puree. This is how i made Asyfa's puree.

Mula-mula steam dulu buah2 an yang dah dikopek & dibersihkan. For about 15 mins.

Then blend with sedikit air. Better guna blender kecik sebab makanan baby kecik je portion nye. Kalau gune blender besar cenggini memang susah skit nak hancur betul2. Btw, ini saya guna Philips Food Processor with Blender. lebih banyak function nye.

For the first time meal, better tapis dulu. I did that, tapi Asyfa tak suka coz too runny. So after that no more tapis for her.

Pear puree ready to ngap. 1 oz

Laju anak dara ku makan. Memula muka sedikit pelik, but she loves it! Siap tarik tangan kita lagi kalau suap lambat.

Licin!

Baki untuk disimpan dalam freezer.

Skang ni pegi supermarket mane2 pun mesti sibuk cari makanan anak. =)
