Today we celebrate the arrival of another new year - Ma'al Hijrah.
I have to admit, normally this does not carry any profound meaning to me. But being a mother now, everything is in different perspective ..
This morning, I woke up to your cuddles and the classic Ma'al Hijrah song..the song that is familiar to my generation even from the schooldays. How timely i think.. cos with the resignation, i am going through a 'hijrah' myself. Suddenly i got goosebumps listening to the song. Maybe it's just me.. but parting away from a conglomerate that has a very big part in developing me from just a school leaver into a person i am now is kinda big deal. But i'll save that for another post come my last day laterlah.
Anyway, few other small 'hijrah's has/is going to happen to you too
- We have (re)started you on solid! So far we've tried the usual bottled stuff but last week I introduced cereal (rice). Since your check up is due next week, i'm holding off other stuff first till i get clearance from your paed. So far so good.. bowel movement is excellent and you're sleeping better and take less frequent feeds at night...so all is well!
- Your car seat/infant carrier fits you (too) snugly now.. that we're thinking of upgrading the seat to a bigger one. In fact we will no longer be able to use the travel system since the car seat is out now. So my boy, you will be berhijrah from the snug infant carrier to the stroller soon. That also means you will be facing the world (and not us) whenever we're out and about..that dear, is a going to be an exciting thing for you.
- You have started to learn to sleep on your own in YOUR COT now. Just the other day, i left you gazing at Mr Pooh (the yellow smiling character on your cot bumper) and slowly dozing off by yourself in your cot and it wasnt until 2am that you woke up and 'insisted' to sleep with us. It's a long way to go but you seems ok and adjusting well to the new routine. Hope your white cot wont be white elephant for long.
