It was Nicholas’ first time to go in a commercial playpen. You know, a playground inside a mall, wherein kids get to play with lots of toys and interact with lots of other kids. Well, it was one boring Sunday and so I decided to bring my angel to the place for him to experience different toys and see lots of kids.

I invited my sister and her daughter Sky as well as my other niece Keeshia. I can tell in Nicholas’ smiles and laughters that he had a lot of fun! And he actually had a stalker too! A very pretty young girl who fell in love with my angel and wants to be his sister. Babu (the girls’ name tag says) follow Nicholas around and wants to play with him. Well, sometimes, Nicholas would play hard to get and would push the girl away, uh-uh. But overall, he was friendly with her admirer and let her push the toy car while he drives it around.

Nico played with the colorful balls, with the different music gadgets, with all the trucks and trinkets, stuffed toys and more… but his two favorites were the small red car (that he pushes around) and the big red car (that he drives around).

Ahh! I’m sure I’m gonna bring Nicholas again to one of these playgrounds. But maybe by then he could walk on his own (Oh, he’s been walking 2-3 steps by himself, until he realize what he’s done, give me that mischievous smile and pretend he’s falling, all the while hitting the floor with his bottom). Oh boy, he will be running around then and it will be difficult to stop him from doing this and that! I need to store up energy if I wanted to keep up to my son’s energy!

Another month passed by again, and Nicholas has not only grown 2 centimeters and 450 grams in 31 days, he has also become a very clever and talkative baby! Gosh!

Look at him biting his lower lip!

And he wants to click the camera as well huh!

And yes, he wants to go down as if he can walk…

And he loves to be a winner too!

Hey! Are you drooling all over me? Huh!

I don’t think he’s in the mood now…

Oh well, he’s still the cutest of them all!

I can’t believe 7 months really passed that fast! I look back to those months and it feels so good to be able to pass through all the hardships of single parenting… It was fun though. I love my little baby so much, I just hope he knows that Happy 7th month my darling…

Sigh…. What a handsome baby…

That smile melts away all my sadness and takes away all my pains. He’s so charming and simply irresistible that even if he never allows me enough sleep, I still find it easy to smile and be happy.

I love my little angel, my little Nicholas more than anyone or anything else.

Everytime I see him smile, I can’t stop myself from thinking, “How many women will go crazy over him when he grows up?” or “How many times will he get away with something just because of that smile?”

Well, one thing is for sure, my little angel is the greatest gift that God has given me.

Isn’t he cute holding his Taz bottle?

When Nico and I go to the mall, I usually carry him, and I mean carry him with bare hands. Well, a stroller is a little inconvenient to bring along, because it’s really heavy and rather bulky.

But last Wednesday, I decided to put him on a stroller to take him for a stroll in the mall. I have to buy his stuff and we’re kinda short of people at home so no one will be able to look for him, Mommy has got to bring him along for shopping

I felt like (ahem!) a celebrity that day. Why not? Everybody stopped and took a good look at him in the mall. With a smile they tell me what a cute baby my little angel is. Awww! I’m so proud of my handsome darling. He made everybody go “ohh” and “ahh” with his cute smiles too and his cute “hand-playing”.

But when it was time to take his pictures, he (what else?) stared at the camera, which erased the smile from his face (replaced with a serious and intent look).

So, have you figured out what’s Mommy’s favorite color? Yeah, green stroller, green bottle, and I was actually wearing green!

He’s super duper cute alright!

He is struggling to get his head up on that pillow, it doesn’t show does it? Well, he knows there’s a camera somewhere and when he sees one he looks at it intently as if it’s something from outer space, so there.

But my little darling is really getting his arms and legs exercised nowadays. He’s nearing his 4^th month mark and he’s ready to crawl! I’m sure it will come sooner than I expected and by then, it will be very difficult to just leave him alone on the bed! Oh my!

But of course, I am excited!
