Lance's 6 months pic at blow-up-babies

lance

We went to blow-up-babies last week for his quarterly schedule of pictorial (naks! parang artista! haha!). We're supposed to have 3 set-ups but unfortunately, we haven't started yet with the first set-up, lance started crying na. Ayun, i carried him until he stopped crying. We also have no choice but to change the set-up. Kaya we just have one pic na lang. Next time na lang yung other two set-ups pag he's in the mood na. Medyo nangingilala na din kasi si lance and he's not familiar with the photographer's voice kaya siguro he cried. I hope next time, we'll have nicer pics. I like this one though kahit medyo sad siya. :)

And so it happened...

Lance fell from the bed this morning. I just blogged about it the other day that I should be careful now that he rolls over na easily. Ayun, he fell from the bed this morning! I was sleeping pa when I heard a thump then a loud cry. Ayun, he fell na pala from the bed. :(

I immediately carried him and checked if he has lump or if he’s hurting on any part of his body. Poor lance, he was so cold and was sweating. But he stopped crying na as soon as I carried him. I also texted his pedia and my boss to ask what to do. They just told me to observe him and see if he vomits and also to put on ice.

When I left the house, he seems ok na. He still rolls over, smiles a lot and he also plays with his toys. He too just finished his bath and was sleeping na when I left. I do hope he’s ok. I just need to observe if there are changes in him and most of all, I need to be more careful now so that it won’t happen again. Some people say that it really happens, but still we don’t want our babies to get hurt di ba! Now I need to baby proof our room!

My Wish List

I turned 30 last month and I realized I was not able to make a wish list. These are some of the things that I’d like to have or would like to do. Like they say, it’s better late than never so here it goes (*not in order):

1. Spa (I can’t remember the last time I had one!)
2. Time with Paul (he was here for 2 ½ weeks during the Chinese new year but those were not enough, I really miss him)
3. Time with Lance (I only get to play and take care of him full time on weekends, he’s often asleep na when I get home from work on weekdays)
4. Travel / family vacation (siguro if Lance is more than 1 year old na)
5. DSLR!!!
6. And as soon as I have a DSLR, attend a photography 101 class.
7. Hard bound Harry Potter books (I only have 1 hard bound, HP6)
8. Get back to my pre-pregnancy weight (need to lose 10lbs pa)
9. Dive (and be certified!)
10. Finish my Black Belt Six Sigma Project
11. Learn digiscrapping (wish ko lang magkaron ako ng art sa katawan so that I can do this!)
12. Time for marathon watching of grey’s anatomy (di ako updated :( )
13. New set of clothes (the one’s I have now are boring!)
14. Laptop
15. Internet connection at home (there’s no facility available for PLDT and Globe and we just applied for Smart Bro but they haven’t visited our house yet)

These are just the ones on top of my mind, I’m sure I have a lot pa. Hopefully I can achieve them one by one. :)

First Time


Lance turned 6 months last march 27 and according to his pedia, he’s now ready to eat solid foods. So last Saturday, I tried to feed him with Cerelac. It’s so funny because Lance does not want to open his mouth. But after awhile, I don’t know if it’s because he liked the taste or he just wants the spoon because he cries whenever I remove the spoon from his mouth. He was able to eat half of the food I prepared for him then I gave him milk and water na. I now have to prepare food to give him for the following days. I was thinking of mashed potatoes, carrots, apple and banana. Looks like I need to ask around and read articles on what food to give him. This is going to be fun!

He’s also trying to crawl now, though most of the time, he’s moving pero backwards. Hehe! And I’m scared to leave him alone because he can fall from the bed na. He can now roll over easily and can go around in circles and getting to the edge of the bed. I sometimes put a lot of pillows so that he won’t fall.

And he’s also ready for summer! I bought shades from the store last week and here he is wearing it.

Here’s another pic and he looks like a girl!!!

Lance’s Weekend

Saturday morning was his schedule for immunization. It’s supposed to be on the 24th but I’m not available on the 24th kaya I moved it to 17. His pedia said that everything’s ok with Lance. He had 5-in-1 shot and he didn’t cry again. His pedia was joking na since Lance is big, macho talaga because he does not cry. He now weighs 8.8kgs. He will also start eating solid food na this month. I’m just waiting for his 6th month para official na 6 months siya when he starts eating solids, and that will be on the 27th. I’ll probably let him eat the weekend following that. I just do some research lang now on what to give him. The pedia advised to give him cerelac tapos one flavor at a time so that if he gets an allergy, it will be easy to pinpoint where he got it. Kaya eto, excited na ko magpakain sa kanya. Hehehe!

Saturday afternoon, we attended the first birthday party of Jinggay (my officemate’s daughter) at Jollibee West. I’m also excited attending this one because this will be Lance’s first time to attend a children’s party. Medyo di naman siya masyado nagsmile pero thank God hindi din naman siya umiyak. Tapos good thing din, my officemates carried him so di kami masyado nag alaga. Hehe! Tapos they were telling me na ang bait daw ni Lance and pwedeng manakaw kasi sumasama sa iba tapos di umiiyak. Hehe! As always, I had fun during the party, love ko talaga kiddie parties eh, and Jollibee never fails to make me laugh. Hehe! Ang babaw ko talaga. We got home at 7 and Lance was asleep na sa car. Siguro he got tired. Here are some pics during the party.


carried by my boss

with the bday girl (kami lang nung daddy yung naka-smile)

Come Sunday, we heard mass at 7:30. Tapos after lunch, my sister wanted to go to Makati because shops are on sale there kaya ayun, I went with her and brought Lance with me since her nanny is ironing our clothes. Lance was really easy to take care of, like what I said before, as long as he’s in his stroller, quiet na siya. Medyo nahirapan lang kami pag akyat-baba ng escalator pero ok naman. I was able to buy curtains (@P150 each) and I also bought a bed sheet for lance @ 50% off. Ang saya di ba! We also tried yung mga bed sheet don while waiting for my sister na namamakyaw ng curtains. hehe! We could have stayed and shopped more pero feeling ko Lance is a little tired na din kaya my sister and I went home na. Ayun, on our way home nakatulog na ulit si Lance. :)

My Vacation

This is a long overdue post. I went home to Manila last February for a 2 1/2 -week vacation. It was a holiday in Taiwan for the Chinese new year that's why I was able to take a vacation that long. When Toni was at work, I would be the one taking care of Lance. Sometimes we'd go for a stroll outside, bonding moments namin hehe! Like what Toni said in a previous post, kung mainit ang ulo ni Lance, ilalabas lang sya sa bahay tapos quiet na ulit sya. Sabi ko nga lalaking lakwatsero si Lance.

Here's a brief rundown of what we did during my vacation:

Toni and I, along with her sister, was able to catch the movie "Music and Lyrics". It was a nice movie. Toni and I liked the songs there that we downloaded them. Plus I was able to get some new moves!

We also had our family picture taken at blow-up babies. Lance only had a short nap that morning that's why he wouldn't smile very much during the shoot. But like the photographer said, a baby not smiling is so much better than a crying baby. He was so sleepy that right after the shoot, we weren't done putting our things back together he was already asleep.

We also had our 1st trip to Mall of Asia that time. We didn't stay very long though, just bought some stuff and checked it out since we were also going to stay at Westin, now known as Sofitel, for the weekend.

Lance also had his monthly check-up when I was home. The doctor was so surprised when she saw Lance's weight. She said he already had the weight of a 7-8 month old baby, and he was just 5 months at the time! We were told to increase his water intake to taper off his milk consumption.

In the times that we were home, I would just be at his side. I would talk to him, play with him and read to him. Just trying to be a father while I was home.

Belat

I was on half-day leave last Wednesday since it was my birthday. Mag whole day leave sana ako but I have so many things to do kaya half-day na lang. So ayun, upon arriving home, I prepared food ("prepared" = bought) tsaka went na din to the grocery. After that, I took care of Lance na. While we were on the bed, I asked “Lance picture tayo, it’s mommy’s birthday”. So here goes our picture,

Tapos I asked him one more time para isa pang picture (even if he’s a little fussy na, gusto na kasi nya mag drink ng milk) , and here are the results:


At least pinagbigyan niya ko! Hehe!
