A different journey from others.. Part 1

My ordinary journey as a mother begun on 7 April of 2011.. I'm raising Eiman everyday with a big help from my family.. Thankful to my mom, Umi whom willingly to sacrifice her weekly class just for Eiman..

He is so fortunate to be surrounded by everyone who loves him so much.. He's everything.. Dia la anak, dia la cucu kesayangan, nephew and even a spoil great grandson to his Nyang.. Because my grandmother stays with us after Atok passed away..

He grew up just like other boys.. What I noticed, his milestone somehow a bit defer and odd from what he supposed to achieve accordingly.. 

2 months old - mengiring
6 months old - lie face downward (meniarap) 
8 months old - climb
10 months old - sit on his own
11 months old - stand up
1 year old - crawl
1 year 6 months - walk

I'm quite worried at first.. because he had a second cousin who was born the same day with him.. but she already meniarap by 3 months old.. but when I told the elders "biasalah budak lelaki memang lambat sikit".. OK fine.. just wait and see.. I told this matter to his Paeds and he advised me to do some baby massage to stimulate his nerves & muscles.. 

I'm so happy when he started to meniarap, but another problem occurred. He can't stop moving whenever he still awake, he almost fell over from his rocker when he tried to escape and move. I thought that he would skip his milestones because he could climb up any hurdle when he was 8 months old. A bit odd when he can sit on his own without crawl up first. 

Many people told me it's a normal case when baby skip to crawl and straight to walk on their own. I just believe that because he could stand up dependently to any sofa or grill at his age 11 months old. Ok, I just wait for the moment that he will walk to me on his own anxiously. 

But after his 1st birthday, the milestones reversed and he started to crawl. Before that, although he could climb, sit, and stand he will shuffle lie downward to move from one place to anther. It's a bit embarrassing when most of his peer age already walk and run, but he still crawling at that time.

But when I read an article says that 'The longer the better for kids to crawl when they are still baby' I'm a bit relief although the other part of my mind whispered "but he already 1 years old".

In terms of communication, verbally he's like other babies, babbling & responding when he's almost 2 months old.. I remembered he started to call my name when he almost 1 year old although he called me "Kak".. sheeshhh, because my family all called me Kakak. Started to call "Ke" for Uncle. 

Once he started to walk, it took only few days for him to master the movement and he ran here and there until everyone being assigned to look after him. I can't tell how active he is at that time and even now he still. 

And how do I discover his real condition and characteristic of Autism.. I shall continue on the next post because this part itself already too lengthy to continue.. 


Eiman - 7 months.. he already had few teeth at this time.. 


Guling-guling sampai masuk bawah kerusi..


Not even crawl yet, he could climb at this height to escape out.. Mushroom hair trademark began..


hahaha! didn't i mentioned before that he can be at anywhere he wanted to be..

That Precious 4 Years..

Assalamualaikum..

My blog being abandoned for 4 years since my last posting on Eiman's birth update..

And within that 4 years.. too many things happened, life changes, joy & tears..

When I read back my last postings, some sort of my work life at my previous workplace Homefield.. whereby I've left Homefield 3 years ago.. how time flies.. now I'm in insurance industry.. Nahhh! From property & development to insurance (takaful to be exact) industry? Even my husband was no longer in automotive line..

There's a story about my BFF Akma, her wedding day.. now she already had a pair of lovely kids.. In a blink of eye, our children all grown up and started their early education this year..

And for the past 4 years.. Despite of numbers of eventful & memorable days.. I've gone through a series of  difficult time.. Especially last year 2014, is the most testing year in my entire life.. to myself, my family and for the nation as well.. Sounds sad & melancholic? Well, those things are the reason of my 'comeback' to this space..

2 main things that I've aimed to write (type) about.. 1st is about my Ummi (mom), whom survived from her treatment of Blood Cancer.. 2nd is about my Autistic son.. Not much on the scientific terms of treatment & definition, but more on what I've gone through.. My experience & what not.. And still, the journey continue today..

Don't get surprise ok, will be back soon InsyaAllah.

Restart & Refresh..

Praise to Allah swt..

I still can update this blog again. I thought that it would be terminated due to inactivate for long period of time.

The last time this blog being updated by me : Aug 2011.. My son was only 4 months time at that time.. And all the ups & down to raise him up took place.. 

4 years passed by.. he is now an active and cheeky little boy.. too many things happened.. joy & tears

I don't feel like to go for blogging anymore, but for some reason, from now on I'm going to restart all over again.. I need a place to keep 'my journey' written and recorded. If it's not meant for sharing (but I wish I could share something beneficial & meaningful), at least I got this way this express my feeling, ideas and thought.  

Will be back soonest!
