Bismillaah

I would like to start with our sweet Sarah. Tomorrow she will turn 1, insyaAllaah. My home birth was 1 year ago, and it still feels very sweet and will be remembered that way,always. One full year filled with blessings, cheeky smiles, bright days, beautiful nights, soothing giggles, energetic crawls and climbs, and meaningful cries. What not to love and be grateful with a huge blessing named Sarah? AlHamdulillaah.

At 1(insyaAllaah), Sarah is now able to climb the stairs super fast when no one was aware. She would smiled and babbled when caught in action. She has gotten four teeth that adorn her smiles beautifully. Everyday, her hair would be styled in the 'kelapa sawit' style. She doesnt refuse her baby meals anymore,and Sarah loves banana very much. She knows how to angkat takbir and rukuk and sujud whenever a sejadah was put on the floor, and Allahuakbar was proclaimed. She will follow along whenever the dua of traveling( or other verses from the quran) was recited in the car(in her own baby language,though). A baby's progress was simply amazing, mashaAllaah. Alhamdulillaah ya Allaah for your blessing.

Now, we move to Maryam.Maryam is a girl who has got her own unique personality. She loves hugs and affection, and would be very angry at things she doesnt like. She can be very loud at times, and be very quite and timid at other times. She would sit and do things that she likes whole heartedly, but would barely give attention if she was not interested. She likes drinking lots of water, but slowly reducing her foods intake. She still loves sweet, but cannot finish a lollipop by herself anymore. She loves upin ipin like Adam, and rarely paying attention to others cartoons or shows. The simplest way to calm her down was to just give her a warm hug.

Adam, our only boy. He is very talkative and energetic. He is very good at negotiation and mencuri hati. Drinks lots of milk,but requires constant reminders to drink more plain water. We thought that he needs more water since he easily caught runny nose and cough. He loves the trips to masjid and also a teh buih(teh tarik) session at the restaurant with abah afterwards. Knows how to read and write, but always wanted to speed read and write causing him to end up with lots of corrections to make. He was very hardworking when it comes to homeworks. Sometimes, loves to help with house chores and quite good at mengemas.

Hajar, our kakak. She is doing very good at Darjah 1. She is embarassed that her tooth fell out and now she is rongak. Another tooth is very wobbly now, and she refuses to go to the dentist. Not that she is afraid of the dentist, but she doesnt want to looose another tooth and making her rongak even more apparent. She would prepare her school bag and things she needed the night before by herself. She washed her shoes by herself too. Every morning she would go to kelas KAFA,the same place with adik Sarah, just at a different room and level in the house.so, sometimes, she would look after adik if adik was cranky. Kakak is a big help at home. She helps with adik-adik. Sometimes she can be very garang, but can be very sensitive  too.
