This was taken last Christmas day during mama delia's family reunion held at lola Mila's house in Sucat. I almost told my mommy that Christmas day was supposed to be an eat-all-day event and not a talk-all-day affair.

Too bad I couldn't join them when they feasted on rellenong bangus, chop suey, lumpiang shanghai, embutido etc.

Good thing lola Angie told my mommy to take off my mittens so that my hands will not smell bad daw.

Yeah good thing because my hands taste better when my mittens are off. :-)

I now smile often, make my mommy and daddy and my lola laugh because they find me cute, I drink milk almost every hour, I amuse myself with all the things I see around me, and sleep with the music of the Eraserheads in the background.

It's 6 more days before Christmas! I'm excited to celebrate my first Christmas with my mommy and daddy na!

They're from Tita Chat, mommy's friend in college. Thank you Tita Chat! Mommy is excited to open it na, but then she decided to open it on Christmas day na lang.

That's me on top of my mommy's work table. Yesterday, my mommy had to do some work in the office and my daddy insisted on bringing me along. So while mommy was doing her work, daddy and I spent time bonding together. Daddy and Mommy's office was a sight to behold. It was very different from our house and from the hospital (two places that I have visited so far). When mommy was through with her work, we went to the Podium mall nearby! Yes, my first official mall tour happened yesterday. Unfortunately, mommy and daddy didn't know that there was an on-going sale at the mall that time. So, after buying some baby stuff for me, they decided that we leave the mall for fear of me catching some bad virus. So, we proceeded to daddy's sister in U.P. It was my first time to meet some relatives of my daddy. It was nice meeting my tita aura and tito Jojo with my little cousins, ate Jaja and ate AJ. Their older brother kuya Arwin was busy playing video games so I didn't get to meet him. Tita Aura was so delighted to see me and kept on saying that I so look like my daddy. After spending some time there, we finally went home. I was so tired that I slept immediately when we arrived home.

But wait, how come I don't get to drive it on my own? :-)

What is it with baby "weighing scale" that babies find it so nice to sleep on? This one fits me so well and it has soft matting too! I found out that Jolo enjoys his stay on this "bed" also.

Btw, the scale reads 4 kilos. Oh no! I've drank too much of my mommy's milk two weeks after my first weighing experience (3.2 kilos). But what can I do? I'm a baby! :-)

Are those muscles or what?...:-)

I am now one month old. To celebrate this occasion my lolo arthur bought me a chocolate cake which my lola delia, tito bernard, tita janet and her brother feasted on last Saturday.

And last Saturday was also my second visit to the Pedia. It was my first time to feel an abrupt pain after Dra. Aguirre took a shot of BCG vaccine on my hips. It hurt a bit but I guess I have to get use to it because mommy said there would be more.

Btw, I now weigh 4 kilos (from my previous weight of 3.2 kilos two weeks ago). That's loads of mommy's milk converted into fats in my body. :-)

This is how I reacted after my mom gave me a dose of a baby's multivitamins. It doesn't taste good.

Alright. This is what I do to amuse myself nowadays. It's my form of exercise also. :-)

Alrighty, here's the much awaited picture of me flashing the $100 million smile! My mommy was able to catch this rare moment after taking my breakfast (fresh milk from mommy's breast) :-)

These set of pictures were taken using my daddy's k750i camera phone in "burst" setting, (4 pics in one click).

Here goes... a nice smile ops...gotcha!

I've been sleeping a lot. I want to grow bigger as soon as possible. My lola promise to bring me to Mcdo and Jolibee everyday. :-)

Yes. I want those burgers and fries, but I'm sure my daddy will not allow me to have the soda.

zzzzzz

Infant life can be so tiring. All you have to do is sleep, feed, and poo poo. :-) I wish I could walk already, play with mommy's little mermaid collections, watch daddy's dvds or better yet visit Hong Kong Disneyland with mommy and daddy!

Since Tita Tina asked me and my early visitors have been saying different reactions, I am posting here my mommy and daddy's picture. Compare it with my picture and you'll be the judge. Do I look a lot like my mommy or am I my daddy's "photocopy"?
