Nicholas turned 11 months this morning. Just 30 more days and we will be celebrating his first birthday. Oh boy! I am excited but I’m also worried I may not be able to accomplish all my plans. It’s tough to be a single Mom huh!

Anyways, I am trying my best to give my little angel what he deserves — and he deserves the best. But I will post about my plans and what I’ve accomplished so far for my baby boy’s birthday on my next post. For now, I would like to discuss my angel’s milestones.

So after 11 months, Nicholas is already 28 inches (71.1 centimeters) tall, weighs 22.48 pounds (10.2 kilograms), has got 4 teeth, walking fast with one hand supported, walking 2-4 steps on his own, standing 5-10 seconds without support, saying “Mam” (mommy), “mal” (milk), “cat”, “tar” (car), “ber” (bird), “boh” (ball), “ter” (water) “baba” (Filipino for “going down”), “atyat” (akyat, Filipino for “going up”), knows (and loves!) “pasyal” (Filipino for strolling), knows and recognizes his toys by pointing at them when Mommy asks for each (there’s Mickey Mouse, Brownie, the musical toy given by Uncle Mark, and many more). He’s also remembering stuff he likes. One is the sound of the ice cream man. Well, my officemate once bought him ice cream from the ice cream man so everytime he hears the ice cream man’s music, he gets excited and points at the door with all smiles, hehehe.

Ahhh.. So much have happened in 11 months time. I never thought parenting can be both energy-consuming and energy-boosting I’m proud of my Nicholas’ milestones though other babies may have more teeth or more words or more growth, still, my little angel is one of the two best thing that ever happened to me.

My boys happily playing with each other, sgh... they look good together, a happy father and son :)

Hey! A month more and we will be celebrating his birthday! Oh boy! I’ll be busy as a bee! Oh gosh! I’m excited for my little darling!
