Picnic in the car

Hehe we planned to go for picnic at Mc'Crory Gardens yesterday. Mama packed nasi ayam while papa only had sandwiches for our picnic trip. When we arrived there, it was raining! How not lucky we were. Since we don't want to go home yet, we decided to picnic in the car..haha Mama and Papa enjoyed eating while Aliya was sleeping silently.

Alhamdulillah. Aliya is 5 months old today! I tried to upload Aliya's video but failed! Maybe the file size is too big. I'll upload Aliya's photo soon...

Tips for buying baby clothes!

These tips are from my experience with Aliya. Aliya growth so fast, until there is no cloth she can fit and we need to buy more and more clothes every month. What a waste when there are some clothes which not be wearing yet.

My tips:

1. Buy only a few clothes for newborn. Maybe you can preparing one cloth for one day (5-7 clothes) because babies grow incredible fast in their first month.
2. Buy clothes that easy to wear! Make sure the clothes are ease to access that allow quickly change a diaper or the pants without having fully undress your baby.
3. Do not follow the exact month of the dress, but follow the exact size of your baby.
4. Buy when you see a sale because normally infants aren't picky what they wear as long as it's comfortable. Go for cheaper clothes yet comfortable.
5. Consider the safety and comfort first. Place function before fashion!
6. Attention: Wash the new clothes first before you put it on the baby.

I bought this cloth because it's pretty! :(
