Baby Ticker...

Watermark, Surfers Paradise

Today is our second day in Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast. We've been very busy, tired, but having so much fun. We stayed at Tom's n Rini's place in Brisbane. It's nice to cathing up with an old friends. We went to Brisbane CBD just to try the Indonesian restaurant there. Satay Club, it's so yummy...but Rasha wasn't so happy I think because he's too tired from the train. We travelled  33 hours in the train from Cairns to Brisbane. My other son, Khalif he's enjoying the trip very much.

This morning we have to go to the Post office to lodge the form for our rental bond. And we had luch at The Australia Fair. This afternoon we're gonna go to the beach again because Khalif love to play in the beach, I've never seen him enjoying himself so much until now.

The arrival of our second baby boy

We would like to introduce of our second baby boy, Rasha Laith Ramis born on Saturday 11th August 2007 at 11.23 pm. He's weighing 3440 g and 50 cm in length. When the midwife  handed Rasha straight away after the birth, I forgot how small they are. I was very tired but still can't hide how grateful I am to hold my baby. I can't describe how I feel when I look at my baby's face. He looks so small and a bit slippery....but thanks to Allah SWT he's healthy and the labour is so much faster than my first one. Khalif is so happy with his little brother. He's a bit rough at the first time, it's because he's still a baby himself. But now he gives Rasha's a lot of kisses in every occasion. He help me with Rasha's nappy time, he help me to put the dirty nappy into the bin, and bring me the clean nappy. He's such a sweetheart. I have two boys now to make me enough busy during the day. Rasha's is bit quieter baby than Khalif when he's a baby. I love them both the same. They are my heart and soul.

My litte boy

He's my little man, it has been a while I never write again about our lil one. He's 20 months old now, he's growing...I don't know where to start to tell what he's like now. We went back to Jakarta couple months ago. And we went to photo studio take family picture, I got this plan long time ago to have our picture taken. But, the studio got this cutie costums for baby and toddler. So we try with Khalif, and the first time he's a bit uncomfortable with the costums but after we distract him with the toys....he forgot about it :D so.....yeah Khalif got some different costums to wear from the studio. He got the froggie, Turtle, Elephant, Eeyore, Winnie the pooh, and something else I couldn't remember now. When we left Jakarta, the album hadn't finish yet but we got the the copy of the shoots. I might do it for my second one, if we come to Jakarta again.

Khalif now, he's getting bigger, more cheeky than ever, more easier in some ways, absolutely a joy to our life. He can say some word perfectly like apple, no, in, out, hot, up, puppy, duck, wait, book, baby, poopy, bobo, duduk, fish, and mommy. It's amazing really watching him everyday what he can learn something new so fast. He try to copy in everything we do and says. He can count wan, tu, tii and if I count in Indonesian " satu...duaa..." he's gonna say "tigaa...". What else he can say in his own way...tutu (tutup), tdak (tdak), bish (abis), mo (mau), babi (baci), cod (cold), nyami (yummy), don (down), su (shoes), and a lot of his baby talk than only me and his dad who understand it.

I already in my 3rd Trimester, it's getting there. My last night shift would be 15th July. And after that I probably take a break until I'm ready to come back to work again. My mamah will come to stay with us to help with the baby. She will arrive here in Cairns on Friday 20th July. So I really looking forward to see her. I miss her so much. Hopefully the labour can wait at least until mamah is here...:)

KHALIF WITH GRANDMOTHER'S LOVE....

KHALIF'S COUSINS

                                                                    These three men are Khalif's cousins. A'Rasyad umurnya 4 bulan lebih muda. Jadi A'Rasyad sekarang umurnya 6 bulan. Lucu banget fotonya...."ayooooo mang..." Indonesia tulen dah. Kalo yang kiri, namanya Azim, umurnya 6 minggu lebih tua dari Khalif, kira2 umur Azim sekarang 11,5 bulan, kalo yang ini made in Australia. Foto A'Rasyad ini baru kita terima lewat email tadi malem. Kangen pengen ketemu jadinya, soalnya terakhir Khalif ketemu ma A'Rasyad pas umurnya baru 1 bulan. Masih beibih bangetkan, makanya kalo liat foto A'Rasyad yang sekarang tuh ngangenin ma beda  banget. Insya Allah nanti kita ke Jakarta lagi ya A'Rasyad. Dan Insya Allah bakal nambah lagi sepupu2 yang lain :-),kalo Azim ini fotonya baru wiken kemaren kita ambil. Pas lagi kawinannya Nisa & Rury.

Dan 2 foto terakhir itu Samson dan Khalif. Beda umur samson ma khalif kira-kira 1,5 tahun jauh yaa....apalagi kalo liat mereka berdiri berdampingan.....Samson tuh tinggi bangetttt....kalo di Indo pasti dia dikira umur 4 taun kali yaaa....sedangkan Khalif tuh yg mungil...petite hehehe....Foto Khalif diambil pas banget dia baru bangun tidur, rambutnya acak2an tapi tetep aja senyum kalo liat mommynya dikamar nungguin dia bobo :D...

LITTLE MONSTER

Semenjak makan siang kemaren, Khalif dah bisa pegang dan minum dari gelasnya sendiri dengan sempurna. Walau dia masiih suka sibuk merhatiin gambar yang ada digelas.

Trus makannya juga gak susah, kalo makan siang ato makan malem apa yang jadi menunya dia, selalu dihabisin. Buat seneng mommy & daddynya. Sebenernya akhir-akhir ini yang suka buatin makanan Khalif sih Deniz, gara-gara waktu itu Deniz berexperiment gitu buat makanan Khalif, chicken with rice with corn with vegies....trus rasanya uenaaaak tenaaaan....kita pas nyobainnya aja ampe ngiler gitu. Semenjak itu, Deniz jadi ketagihan bereksperimen buat makanan anaknya tercinta hehehehe. Aku sih seneng2 aja, abisnya kerjaan jadi berkurang satu.

      

MAMA MAU DATENG DARI JAKARTA

Yeeeeeaaaay.....mamah rencana mau nengokin kita lagi disini...well not really us....she wants to see Khalif more I guess. Anyway, whatever the reason.....I'm so exciting that she's coming....within 2 weeks. Mungkin kedatengan beliau kali ini lebih ke liburan. Blio kan baru selese operasi sekitar 1,5 bulan yang lalu, jadi masih gak boleh terlalu cape dan harus banyak banyak istirahat. So mom.....you're not allow to do house chores here. No cooking, no bersih bersih, no baking, no little this no little that.....relax and enjoy your time with Khalif. This is your holiday so let me do everything for you, like you always do for us love you...love you...muaaaah muaaah....yeaaay yeaaay my mamah coming....can't wait to see her....

Now back to the reality, seputar Khalif....sekarang dia dah bobo sendiri, enaaaknyaaaa....nangisnya juga makin sebentar, dalam waktu 5 menit dia dah bobo. Trus nih kemaren ceritanya lagi pengen banget makan Fu Yunghai...tapi berhubungan gak bisa buat yang versi originalnya, aku buat versi mamahku tercinta Fu Yunghai kecap. Ini aku coba ambil fotonya...tapi karena masih belajar....ya jadinya ya kayak gitu....standard banget. Gimana sih cara ambil foto masakan. Kalo ngeliat blog orang2....aduuuuh....sering banget buat perut jadi laper, abisnya foto-fotonya menggiurkan banget.

Trus hari rabu kemaren janjian makan siang bareng Lorena, temen ante-natal class dulu. Dia punya baby girl, Gabana, 11 bulan. Kita janjian ketemuan di city place, dia dianterin ma suaminya gitu, tapi dia gak bisa join kita makan siang, soalnya musti balik kerja. Jadi deh Aku, Lorena, Khalif ma Gabana. Gabana ini lucu banget, setiap kita say hello ma dia, pasti dia senyum lebar banget.....ramaaah banget. Matanya juga biru, ngegemesin banget deh. Sedangkan Khalif hari itu tuh lagi gak mood banget kayanya. Gak banyak senyum, tapi gak nangis juga. Waktu Gabana coba pegang tangan dan muka Khalif, eh Khalif malah buang muka. Huuuuuhuuu sombong bener dah anak gue, padahal biasanya Khalif lumayan ramah sama orang. Khalif juga ampir gak pernah nangis kalo digendong sama orang yang baru dia kenal. Mungkin kemaren Khalif lagi gak mood aja kali ya. Kita juga diundang ke ulang tahun Gabana yang pertama bulan depan. Abis itu mereka sekeluarga kayanya mau pulang kampung ke Argentina, liburan selama 3 bulan.

Friday is market day here, berlangsung cuman 3 hari dari hari Jumat sampe hari Minggu sore....jadi tadi sore jadi deh ke Rusty's market. Blanja vegies....tapi gak semua, nanti aja deh balik hari minggu. Sebenernya bisa sih blanja di supermarket, tapi biasanya kita blanja ke market khusus beli sayur2an aja. Harganya bisa bargain, dan lebih organic dan fresh. Abis Deniz selese kantor kita langsung ke Woolies yang di Earville buat blanja mingguan. Biar weekend gak usah sibuk pergi2 blanja, biar bisa relax dan istirahat.
