Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today is my hubby's birthday.

For the past few days, I've been trying to find him a gift without him knowing it since he likes to join me whenever I go out shopping. Finally, last Friday, on the pretext that my Mom and I were out for some "girl's only" shopping, I found what I was looking for. It took too long that hubby was already calling me (to say that he and Yaya was having a hard time pacifying JT because he wanted my milk) before I've even bought the stuff. So, my Mom and I connived that she'll be left behind so she can buy my gifts while I rush home. Once I got home, I saw my husband took a subtle peek inside my bags (which he now completely denies) so I was really glad that I schemed with my Mom.

With all these secrecy, I was able to surprise him today :) He thought I didn't have any gifts for him. I got him this casual yet smart-looking jacket and a pique shirt that almost matches JT's since he mentioned before dreamily na na-i-imagine niyang naglalakad silang magkaterno ni JT.


We celebrated his birthday with Sinigang na Baboy, his all-time favourite, and Pansit Bihon, for long life.

Happy Birthday, Baby! I love you so much! Mwah!

I Can Sit

Date: May 25, 2009
Age: 7 months 18 days

JT has started to sit on his own. From his belly he'd push his trunk upward, twist, then push away from the bed and viola! He's sitting up without help or support.

Here he is playing alone in his crib. We bought this TinyLove toy to motivate him to reach up and sit and stand.

Doting Grandparents

I've been out for the past couple of days. First, I had a cold. Second, I've been going out a lot lately, trying to find a gift for my husband on his birthday (this Tuesday) and on our first anniversary (this coming Sunday). Because of the second, I haven't been able to rest well so I still have a cold. It's been a week. And poor JT caught it, too. This is his 4th day. So, third, I've been busy suctioning out his sipon as often as I can, and nebulizing him (Thank you for whoever invented the nasal aspirator!).

Anyway, eto ang pahabol ko sa Mommy Moments :)

Grandparents Bonding

JT is the first grandson on both sides, so everyone was really excited for his arrival. Two things I've noticed:

1) The two Lolas couldn't wait to hold him during their first visit to the hospital (Still can't up to now) and if I let them, they won't let him go hehe.

2) The two Lolos just looked on proudly but didn't want to carry him. Later on, we realized that both were too scared because he looked so tiny and fragile. Eventually they got used to it (it took about a month) and were excited to hold and cuddle him, too.


JT loves playing this game. He is lifted gently up then we shout "Superman!" and then he giggles and grins. He loves doing this with my papa because he can lift the highest.
