bebe @ 6 1/2 mos

Boochie… hehehe the names I come up with to call my bebe. it’s just so weird how I come up with these things and it sounds so natural saying it. Boochie, choochee, bebepoo, boochie-boochie, booboo. So funny. Hay… my boochie. He’s already 6 ½ months old and really getting to be so malikot! He can already stand in his crib all by himself. Yup, he knows how to pull himself up and we didn’t teach him that! Mother’s pride…  and he loves to smile a lot. It just gives me more energy when I get home coz the minute I open the door, he has this big smile on his face like he’s been waiting for me all these hours to get home! And sometimes he gives this giggly sound. Hehehe! That just takes away all the fatigue and tiredness of the day.

He loves to eat! Everytime he has his meals, he sways his legs like he’s just the most contented boy to just sit there and be fed.  when he sees us eating, he’d get our attention and ask that he be fed as well. The thing is, he doesn’t get fat. Tops says it’s all muscles that he’s growing. Hehehe musculadong baby. He loves to jump in his crib or even when we’re just holding him up. That’s when you know he’s far from sleep and hunger. And he doesn’t just jump, sometimes he gives out these small sounds like he’s singing and dancing, I swear! Hehehe… and he loves to dance! What I do is I hold both his hands while he’s in his crib and I sway and sing, and he gets all excited and tries to sway and jump.

Right now, his favorite toy is the rattle. And he loves to watch certain commercials on tv, seems more attentive to the commercial when sunsilk, Palmolive, or other ads with kids. I swear! I try to cover the tv with my body but he twists and turns, trying to get a peek around me. Naku, I have a potential couch potato in my hands! More like a competition on the remote control!

Then I try to read to him… as instructed by doc Gomez. I make it a point to read to him when his energy is starting to wane, and he’s getting a little bit tired from all his day’s work. It’s at this time that he can just sit quietly and seems to be listening to me read to him. If I don’t wait for this time, he’s not gonna stay put and he’ll just cry to let him up.

What’s next… :)

yum, yum! just look at those glorious crabs! their claws are as huge as my hands! and it was just divine - butter, garlic and such juicy crab flesh. and of course, we wouldn't get this glorious feast without paying gloriously as well! 1,000 PHP per person!

World Pyro 2008

last saturday, we were in MOA. my mom was able to reserve really good seats for us at the highland steakhouse. and they were really good seats coz it was outside directly facing where the fireworks are. imagine? eating your steak while looking at the fireworks. it was awesome! felt like a kid again just looking up at the fireworks with ooohhs-ahhhs. that day, it was france and japan and that day, it rained! complete with lightning and thunder! see? ayaw magpatalo ni God. he also wanted to join in the fun of fireworks and made one Himself.

another milestone

bebe said his first words... you know i'm not really sure now if it's really his first words coz i'm not at home all the time. who knows?? he might have already said mama without me or his yaya hearing it. but i heard it yesterday! he said memem. hahaha!! close enough!

and he's starting to crawl! he pushes his butt out to move forward. imagine a moving worm. hehehe... it's just so amazing! he just learns this all by himself coz we don't really teach him that. babies really have instinct.

2 front teeth

hehehe... my bebe is growing his 2 front teeth but it's on the lower part. so cute! that's why he gets so cranky easily. we're trying to get him to slurp on some soup or fruit extract, and he really seems to like it. his expression is so priceless! he looks like he's liking but but he'll grimace in the end. hehehe... tapos he knows na when to cry!!! aba! when i take away his toys, he cries out loud like he's hungry! kaya marunong na talaga ang bebeko. i just laugh at him... poor baby. cries his head out while mom is laughing. hehehe! just such a joy! he loves to stand up (stretches out his body and cries out when we don't push him up), he loves to be surprised (can giggle out loud na! especially to his yaya), loves different sounds - vroom-vroom, WAH, he giggles out loud when i tickle him on his tummy sides and his underarms, he loves to play with my cellphone and the remote control (hmmm... may kalaban na kami sa remote! hehehe), he loves his pagong, he gets easily bored with his teethers, he can now be left in his stroller (before he doesn't want to be left there instead he wants to be carried while malling), according to yaya, he already knows what "labas" means and gets super excited when he hears it coz he knows he's going outside with yaya. you know he's excited when he jumps up and down (yes, he jumps... but not on his own)...

hay.. i can drone on and on. but i need to get back to work. later uli, bebe!
