Rainy Weekend

It rained the whole weekend. A downer after last weekend's gorgeous weather. But rain or shine, I still love weekends :0)

I'm grateful that Aldwin and I have weekends off. It gives us time to reconnect (while doing our chores hehe!) and recharge. Now that we have Isaac, it gives us more time to get to know the little person he is slowly becoming.

This weekend, we found out that Isaac loves Tandoori chicken.

That he now prefers to walk (with assist) than be carried. (Although crawling still tops his list of ways to get around.)

That he actually listens when I say, "Isaac, no."

That watching Mommy tickle Daddy makes him laugh out loud.

That he likes the Chuck E. Cheese commercial (we don't know why).

That he is now able to get in and out of his toy car on his own.

That he is such a mimic!

That music still has a soothing effect on him (we were able to prevent not just one, but two (two!), major meltdowns just by playing his playlist).

To slowly watch this funny and charming person (not biased, promise! ;0))emerge from the baby is an additional treat that makes weekends all the more special.

Even weekends spent at home.

Some pics:


(Here's how he amuses himself while Mommy cooks.)


(He loves playing {with} the piano!)

(A weekend isn't complete without a trip to Target. Here, tryin' out some rain boots :0))

(After bath fun!)

Have a good week!

Getting back into the groove.

I missed the little boy today. Much more than usual, I must say.

Five straight days of taking care of the beneboy changed the pacing of my weekdays. Eat, play, nap... rinse and repeat. A whole world away from the hustle and bustle of an 18-patient day, to which I grudgingly returned to today. There's something about spending time with little ones that forces you to focus on the important things. The simple things. With that said, I should not really dwell on the going to work part of my days for they are not as important as the coming home part.

Coming home to messy faces.


And goofy faces.


And gigil faces.


The best one... coming home to sweet boys with even sweeter faces :0)

Prelude to Spring

We extended our three-day weekend and made it into a five-day one, counting Mom's day-off tomorrow.

Bebe boy was running a fever last night (teething sucks). He had enough of a temperature to keep him from resting comfortably, thus resulting into a restless night for him and Mom. Today, we stayed home to rest. Aside from being a little bit clingier and some whining here and there, he was his usual energetic likot self. He shook the fever and we even managed to go out front and enjoy a bit of the spring-like weather we've been having lately.

Valentine's Day 2010

The flowers.

The gift.


My dates. :0)

I'm a lucky, lucky girl to have two sweet boys to spend V-day with!

Little Boy Car Seat

Today we upgraded to a little boy car seat. We were sad to see our infant carrier go but not too sad that we were gonna pass up the 25% discount for the new car seat if we traded the old one in.

Here he is on his brand new Britax Roundabout:



(It started out shaky, but I promise, he is loving his car seat now!)

Another one of those moments where I sigh and whisper, "Don't grow up too fast, my baby."

Month Thirteen

This picture made me want to blog again. Somewhere along the way, my baby turned into a little boy. I haven't even gotten my fill of his chubby baby cheeks and thighs, and already, he is on his way to being long and lean. Yup, my baby is now a little boy. Which is why I want to record as many moments as I can before I blink and he turns into a man.
