Security Pillow
Baby A misses her yaya. She calls her Tida (short for Ate Gilda). Tida is on vacation for two weeks. Napansin ko lang is that ever since Tida left, Baby A became more obsessed with Kitty. Kitty is Baby A's Hello Kitty hot dog pillow. I bought it on sale at a Sanrio store in Bangkok. Baby A loves Kitty. Pareho ang tawag nya kay Kitty and sa akin..."MIMI". I also like Kitty because it's so cute and huggable. But now, I realized hindi good idea si … [Read more...]
Mom on Duty
Julie is my childhood friend and one of my closest and best friends until now. We are both daughters of retired Army officers… were neighbors in Jusmag and went to the same school in elementary, high school and even college. When we were in college, Julie and I took the PMA entrance exams. Wala naman kaming balak pumasok. We just took the test for the heck of it. Julie topped the entrance exam (I passed but I didn’t top it). Julie, I think, took this as a sign and pursued her military … [Read more...]
Animal Whisperer
Baby A loves animals, as in! When she was almost 1 year old, she uttered her first word… "tish" (fish). Na-excite kami! We put up animal posters around the room and bought her DVDs like Brainy Baby Safari, Hi-5 with animals, etc. Super interested si junakers at naadik na. Problem ko now is isa na siyang Animal Whisperer. Ang Peg. Actually, Baby A can’t talk to animals. She talks and acts like an animal Me: Baby A, look oh, DOG. Baby A: AR AR! Me: Baby, … [Read more...]
The Spawn
The holidays is a time for people to remember good times, family and friends. It’s also a time to remember mga inaanak. I’ve been soo busy lately, kaya dehins ako nakapagprepare ng mga gifts for them… pero promise D, I’ll be sending one for Baby A soooooon… Between C and I, we have maybe about 10 inaanaks already. Saya diba? I’d like to think it’s because the parents actually think we’re good examples for their little darlings, coz I seriously doubt na dahil iniisip nila na madami … [Read more...]
A Poopoo Story
Tinatanong ako nila P and S kung mahirap ba magka-baby. OO NAMAN! Mahirap mag-alaga ng baby whether you’re a working mom or a full-time mom. Lalo na if ang baby mo ay sobrang kulit and demanding!! Si Baby A pa naman hindi prim and proper. Papalitan lang ng diaper, may habulan pa. Nakaka-ubos ng energy. But seeing your baby grow is enough energy booster. Mahirap pero masarap at the same time. For me, pinakamahirap yung first four months ni baby, especially if you’re a first time mom. Trial … [Read more...]
Toddlerama
Baby A learned to stand-up early. Pero mga 2 months pa after she learned to walk. Ngayong nakakalakad na siya, ang bilis nya ma-discover ang ibang bagay like RUNNING, CLIMBING, LIFTING, PUSHING, PULLING… AND LUPASAY-ING. Magkaka-heart attack ako sa batang ito!!! Eto so far ang magiging cause of early death ko: 1. Lumalapit siya sa ASKAL na tumatahol violently with matching laway! Hi cute doggie. Can Baby A keep you? 2. Pinipindot nya ang HOT water sa water … [Read more...]
Baby A’s Big Day
Nung isang araw nakatanggap ako ng text mula kay P… P: Gusto ko lang i-share na napanood ni mudra yung 7thbirthday party ni Pacman. Sabi niya, “maganda pa birthday ni Baby A diyan eh! Yun oh!! Kinilig ako! Bakit nga ba nakaka-pressure ang first birthday? When in fact, di naman maalala ng isang one-year old ang first party niya. Pero sabi nga nila, it’s a milestone which calls for a celebration, and we wanted to share it with all the people who cared, especially those who showed their … [Read more...]
Dear Baby A
Dear Baby A Isa kang bagyo sa buhay namin ni Daddy. Hindi dahil sa pinanganak ka nung Pedring, kung hindi dahil sa mga isasalaysay ko dito. 3 months ka palang sa tiyan ni Mommy, ang likot likot mo na. Ang sabi ni Dr. Lola, malamang boy ka daw… pero hindi, isa ka palang malikot na malikot na girl, na labis namang ikinatuwa ni Mommy. 2 months after, Mommy was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. Mommy had to inject herself with insulin twice a day para di ka … [Read more...]
