baby iyad is 5 month old

alhamdulillah, baby iyad turned 5 month old recently..how time flies...baby iyad had been in a very good health so far...developmentally, he was catching up fast to be at par with typically developed babies at his age...now he can turn from supine to prone a few times, and can also change his direction and position while turning...he loves grabbing stuffs within his reach and very much love to talk and and giggle and wiggle with people around him...he is such an adorable baby in our eyes...

he weighed 5.4kg, and got his 3rd DPT-Hib-IPV vaccine...and on the same day, he got his OKU card the card for special needs children..yeay! with that card, he's entitled to some discount on public transport tickets and many more privilleges...not to forget a 50% discount on tutti fruitti frozen yogurt!

baby iyad is still exclusively breastfed and during the day he drinks 3-4 bottles of 4+oz of expressed breast milk...he is able to sit in the bumbo seat with his head strongly held up..he had started sitting on the seat since he was about 3 month old when he attended his class in kiwanis...

mama had been very busy these few weeks catching up the deadlines for the final exam..so baby iyad was left with papa during the weekends, and they had wonderful babywearing moment together...baby iyad behaved very well, and did not complain much..when mama came home, he couldn't let mama go and we had our intimate moment together, breastfeeding and babywearing...

my name is I.Y.A.D

my dear hubby is into photography so much..this is one of his wonderful piece of work that i adore so much..and iyad had so many things to tell you about his name and very much excited indeed...

we were on national TV

yeay!! so we started our new year with a BANG! (well, at least it was for baby iyad) :) .. baby iyad and i were featured on national TV! we should thank our dear friends, Rita of Bebe Sachi and Shida of SlingMeMama for giving us the opportunity to be in a babywearing segment in Selamat Pagi 1Malaysia morning talkshow on RTM 1...

we woke up and got ready very early in the morning as we needed to be at the studio by 7.30am..there was a bit of traffic jam, but we made it in time...we even got to park our car at the VIP parking lot in front the wisma TV (as we brought a baby with us)...

so, we waited in the waiting room, i got touched-up by the make up artist and iyad behaved very well indeed...there were 2 other friends with us, shida and ajui with her baby audi, to be on air as well...the segment was aired live at 9.50 am, thursday january 3rd 2013 on RTM1...

iyad was asleep throughout the show, nicely snugged in Bebe Sachi's wrap...he woke up after the segment was over and cried for milk...we had laksa johor for breakfast after that which were prepared for us by RTM...we took some photos as well before leaving for iyad's class at 11 in kiwanis...

so, iyad had a tiring day..after the show was his infant stimulation class...but he did quite well in his class (with some screaming and crying)...

alhamdulillah, everything went well..we hope that the segment will spread our babywearing love to the audience..
