Zara's very first Mobile Phone

The other day, hubster and I went to Hamleys at One Utama to look for our niece, Khyra's birthday present. We stumbled across Leap Frog's mobile phone toy. I recalled reading in Baby Center that mobile phone exercise is good to encourage babies to communicate. The phone encourages interaction by having your friend Monkey to say answer your call (when you press the button) and sometimes call you back). What attracted me most was the song that the phone sings: 

" Hi! Sing with me! '123 Thanks for calling me; 321 say Good bye when you're done!' Goodbye!"

By the way, I love love love Leap Frog's toys and think that they are totally awesome! Without thinking that much, we bought the phone for her. She's such a lucky princess. I got my first phone when i was 15 years old! LoL! Anyway, both hubster and I are big fans of toys. Not really sure who is more excited; us or Zara.

Anyway, today, since hubster was off to get his knees checked by Dr Zul of Gleneagles (super awesome and modest doctor), i decided to call him to ask how it went and check on my daughter. I went to my address book and typed 'Z..A..' Urmmm.. Why is there no result? It took me awhile to realize *take a deep breath and shamefully admit* that I was trying to call my 4 months old daughter!!! Haha!!!

Gosh! What was i thinking? Zara was going to answer, "Hi mummy!"?!!! Haha!! Things that happen when you are a mom. :p

Zara with the Phone

Hives!

Zara has a bad case of hives due to an allergic reaction after being bitten by some insect. Saje je die ni taknak mummy dia masok office. Cheeky girl! Well, hives didn't stop her from being curious. After visiting Dr Altaf, we brought Zara to Devi's Corner for a quick breakfast. She lifted her head up to look around! LoL! 

Check out this curious kid! She should be sleepy after having her medication but instead, she wanted to play play and play! LoL! Budak priceless!!!!! Can't complain about it because I am actually enjoying myself! Here's to a day of quality time with my priceless princess! 

"Nutcracker" at Avenue K

As a child, I've always loved all of the festive decorations. It is so fortunate that I live in a multicultural country so I get to see decorations almost all year round. The lights and sparkles always get my all hyped up. However, since i'm no longer a child, I don't really have a reason to look like an overexcited lady to be taking photos with the decorations as if I am a tourist. I mean, I do look pretty Malaysian right? LoL! Thank god for my Lil Chica because now I have a reason to be taking pictures with decorations. Here is our photos with the nutcracker at Avenue K! 

Zara and her "friends"

As a baby, Lil Chica is very restless and curious. She likes to be on the go and talk to people. It's really not that easy to make her stay in one position as she starts making a lot of fuss when she is bored. So, today, I put her on her bumbo seat and set all of the soft toys around her. This was the longest position she stayed. Why? She was busy talking to her "friends".

"Bbefgrhhhh ablerghh ablurghhhh veuuuuu" 

That is until she realized that her friends doesn't talk back! 

Hahahhahaha!!!!!

Well, my brother in law did have a point by saying that IF her friends start talking back, then I should be worried. 

*psycho theme playing in my head with an image of Chucky* 

Errrr... Yea... But it's totally cool if the toys come to life like toys story or the cartoons in disney junior! 

Can't wait for her to be of age to wear tutus and have a princess tea party! 

My first jog after 1 year and Zara's first stroll at the park.

I've just completed my 100 days confinement so it's the time that I've been waiting for... The time when my feet can say hello to my lovely sports shoes. Oh how I missed them. I was unable to do any sort of sports during pregnancy due to a case of bleeding and after 100 days of confinement, I can finally work on those muscles which has been resting for slightly over a year. 

I was so fortunate that my husband was very supportive in my attempt to be fit and healthy. He agreed to take care of Zara while I jog. So, we got up early yesterday morning and prepared our lil Chica to go for a walk at the park. I can't say much about her stroll at the park because I wasn't with her at that time. Hubster said that she was very calm and being her usual curious self looking around. I on the other hand was struggling and trying my best to complete one round of jog. I managed to complete 2 rounds but of course i walked once a while. I just need to push myself a little if not i'll be succumbing to the luxury of losing weight via breastfeeding and telling myself that taking care of my baby is enough of an exercise for me. All I can say is that it felt very heavy when I started to run. Lifting my legs wasn't as easy as it was when i used to run mile after mile. It felt as if all my gears are rusty. Even though it was nothing big, it's still a step closer to my fit and healthy self. 

Uuuu..... I'm in the Stroller...

Urmm... Mummy, Where are we going? What is going on?

Hubster and Lil Chica

Hubster went ahead on a date with his new "girlfriend" while I stretch and prepare for my jog.

Back to rocking my New Balance after a long time.
