Nura's First Eid

we in waterloo celebrated eid on friday oct. 12. didn't really feel like eid, until we went to peoria on saturday (peorians 1st syawal, oct. 13).

it was nice... seeing friends and enjoying the food. nura was a good baby... a bit off schedule feeding wise since she and i were out of our normal surrounding. i paid with pain of engorgement...

i love this photo of her, taken in the van on our way to peoria. all pictures are here.

Well, Selamat Hari Raya to all. forgive all of my wrongdoing.

First Immunization

She went out happy and smiling...

came home cranky, with bandages on both thighs...

so, she got her first round of shots. why do they have to use long ass needles?? they were close to an inch long... i was afraid they'll poke her bones. anyways, next immunization will be in 2 more months.

she weights 13 lbs 4 ozs... no wonder my arms are errmmm... more muscular. she's at the 95th percentile weight-wise but at 21 inches in height, she's only at 5 percent!!! my short and chubby little angel.

Nura is 2 months old

nura will be 2 months old tomorrow. she feeds every other hour and naps in between boobs, so as soon as i'm done feeding and burping and changing her diaper... it's feeding time again!! so exhausted at times, hard to breathe.

but she makes up for it with her smile, cooing and funny faces.

at 2 months, she sleeps longer at night. usually 5 hours before she asks for food or i wake her up.

her lashes are long and thick... but the eyebrows are a bit scary looking. hopefully they'll grow less of a unibrow... (I BLAME CHOT) : )...

and i think she has a dimple on her right cheek... i think...

she weights 10 lbs 8 oz or so about 2 weeks ago. and grown a bit taller.

ok... times up.
