Dinky Aeisyah is One!

Last 31st of August, Dinky Aeisyah is finally ONE. Can't believe that my little dinky is now a toddler...

Dinky Aeisyah, weight at 2.97 kg and 58 cm long. Sleeping soundly in her bassinet before I was discharged.

Dinky's Aeisyah first bath.

When she was 3 weeks old.

On the day my parents and I brought Dinky Aeisyah back to Kemaman for good after spending my confinement back at parent's house.

Well, after I got back to my own house at Kemaman, the reality hit me big time. No time to do laundry, cooking, eating, you name it :) The transitional phase was challenging but Mr Vediaz and I got it through. Since I was new to my neighbourhood, I haven't make any friend with my neighbours. Now, I manage to know who can clean my house on daily basis :), the nearest confinement lady I could find, and even a weekly usrah group.

When Dinky Aeisyah was 4 month old, Mr Vediaz and I had decided to had Dinky's Aeisyah hair the deserving trim. Her hair was a mess! When we were at this newly opened barber shop, there was this barber who kind of "alim" type of guy. He suggested that we shave all Dinky's Aeisyah hair. After thinking about it, we said why not. After that "alim" guy shaved our baby's virgin hair, he wipe Dinky's Aeisyah head with a mix of Zam Zam water and some saffron. Sunah nabi katanya. Then we headed straight to a goldsmith shop just to weight Dinky'y Aeisyah hair. It was RM7++.++! Kaaacchhingggg!


Fast forward to 31st of August 2008, Dinky Aeisyah celebrated her birthday without her abah. Mr Vediaz flight arrived at 0100pm on that day. Dinky Aeisyah likes to eat on her own, more like playing around with her spoon really, she always looks this messy whenever she eats. All babies do. This picture was taken at my parent's house.

The cake..

To my dearest Dinky Aeisyah...

Teddy bears and seas of blue
Smiling in honor of you
An infant, not long ago
Now, one candle is aglow
You are growing up so fast
How quickly a year has passed
You are special, sweet, and wise
A present before our eyes.

For a year, I’ve watched you shine
An angel I can call mine
Sent from Heaven, just for me
Filled with hope and dignity
A blessing, now and always
You brighten all of my days
Precious child, I love you so
More than anyone could know.

Baby’s breath and sun-filled skies
Ladybugs and lullabies
Starry nights and bright moonbeams
Tender hearts and lasting dreams
Each, a gift within your view
During this time, made for you
May only good things come your way
On this, your very first birthday.
