Caroleen’s Treasures

When I woke up today Donald told me my friend Steph called me. It’s been three days that we are constantly talking over the phone about the latest happenings, the news, our businesses and on getting a credit card for emergency purchases and payments. Donald handed me the phone in case she will call back but Eman was very quick to grab it from his Daddy’s hand. He put it near his left ear and said in the cutest voice, “Heeyoo?”. Yes our little guy knows how to answer the phone! He also say “Ayoooo” when he heard a knock. He sometimes does the knocking followed by his “ayoooo”. Well it sounded like “ayo” or “tao po” but I prefer the “tao po” because it’s Tagalog although they have the same meaning. This is how we call at someone’s gate or door.

Another thing that he does that really makes me soooooo happy is to kiss me on my cheek. When I say “kiss Mommy….”, he will put his lips on my cheek. He does that to Donald and Ella too. He still doesn’t know how to do a smack but he is getting there soon. He can also comprehend what has being told to him especially when it comes to milk. When he is in the baby sling while we are riding the motorcycle, he sometimes wants to see the road so he starts to get so fussy and wiggly. But if I tell him that we will breastfeed (”Dede na tayo”), he would stop at an instant and let me position him inside the sling and wait very patiently. He knows if it’s time to eat solid too and when he hears the sound of his bowl and spoon he would get on his feet and hold on the rails, eyes as wide as the owl’s.

He is also getting better each day with his balance. As I am writing this post, he’s in his playpen beside me doing his walking practice and I saw him take his first two steps without support. Yay! He crosses the longest side of his playpen (his is rectangle) in warp speed and with a sound effects like that of a myna. LOL Looks like he will be running on his birthday in 24 days. I wish I can stop the time. I don’t want him to turn 1 yet. I want him to be my baby for the rest of my life but that is so impossible so maybe just delay it will be alright.

It’s Sunday and like usual, the internet is in slow motion. LOL  Last week, the little boy cut his 8th tooth and I can’t believe my baby has a bunch of teeth when he turns 1. He is also attempting to make his first steps. He crosses his playpen hands free and he does that in fast forward mode. He’s just too cute! I guess he will be walking on her 1st birthday and I am so excited. It thrills me because Ella didn’t have a single tooth and could not walk yet on her 1st birthday. Oh how many times did I mention it here? Read more… »

It’s already half past 3 in the morning. I am sleepy and hungry……I wish I can just go to bed right now but there are some tasks to do. I am not complaining though, rather I was so thankful that my sister Crislyn grabbed a couple of assignments for me the other morning. I am just so tired from our long day. We went shopping for fabric and other materials to three different stores. Doing that with a 10 month old baby who thinks he doesn’t need to be held makes this simple task challenging. He could break our back and hips. He is surely beginning to show some signs of hair-pulling days in the future.

So our little guy, who is 10 months and 16 days old today, can now clap his hands and he does it with great pride. The picture can tell. I realized that teaching my baby should be in a fun fun fun way and doing it just a couple of times a day is just perfect. So after showing how I do it for four days, he did it all by himself the other day!!!! Isn’t that wonderful? Sometimes he gets confused what he was asked to do, whether to clap or close and open his tiny hands. Can’t blame him because the two goes with a song that has the same tune. LOL So each time he closes and opens his tiny hands when I ask him to clap, I will hold his hands and clap it for him. He is really making us proud. Read more… »

This face looks like I have to keep an eye on him.

Mother’s instinct proved to be right again. He has plotted another mischief but this time it’s too cute and I can’t help but giggle. Ella was playing with her bears last Monday. She loves playing mommy to them. She tucked them to bed and left for “work” and this little guy thought it’s cool to join them. Read more… »

The little guy slept for 14.5 hours straight!!!!! That surprised me because he usually stays up late sometimes until past midnight. If he sleeps early, he will wake up and play before calling it a night but last night he slept all through out. These photos will tell why he’s knocked out.

Today our little guy turned 10 months old. Did I just gave birth yesterday? Feels like tomorrow he’d be running out of the door when he hears the ice cream man.

I am so guilty for not updating my blog lately. I was busy and will blog about that later. For now let me just share you my lay-out for out little guy who never fails to brighten our day. He is such a joy, the love of our life. Mommy, Daddy and Ate Ella loves you so much!

Don’t grow up so fast little guy!

Excuse the quality of the whole lay-out. It says there is not enough RAM so I used print screen, edited it and uploaded in photobucket.

At last I was able to explore farther in the back of the house. I can’t say it’s our backyard since our yard ends a few feet from the kitchen’s doorstep. hehehehe. I know there is a river down that cliff near the house but I never had the guts to go down there. When the kids woke up from their afternoon nap (and Donald was still snoring), I let them wear their pajamas and grabbed the camera so we can see even a bit of it.

There is the house, the second yellow house from right. Because of the tree covering part of the house, I can’t get a good view so I decided now is the chance to get a glimpse up close.

Yes our little guy has two front teeth!!!! He has been cutting his second tooth since last Wednesday. I didn’t know it until the other day when I checked if there is another tooth coming out because he’s been more fussy than before. He cries a lot and bites a lot too but he is still a very good baby when he’s asleep. LOL

I am in a rush…..trying to check on the site that sells safe and reliable box cutter for packaging needs.

If Ella will soon to be toothless, Eman will soon to have his first! Yeah, he is cutting a tooth and I noticed it this morning. He is pretty fussy and everything we do cannot pacify him.
