Mommy made me look like a newborn again boo-hoo-hoo :(( Not fair! I just turned one! Give me back my hair! LOL!

Honestly, I actually enjoyed my first haircut Too bad Mom’s phone doesn’t have a cam, she wasn’t able to capture my first ever haircut (or hairbald??? hihihi!). Grandy Jane however took pictures and a video so I’m sure Mommy will ask for them and have them printed as well

So what do you think of my new look? I know I know, it’s an old new look I used to look like this last year, so nothing much is new except that I’m bigger and taller now, and hey! Don’t forget more handsome too LOL! See? Mommy wants to show off how handsome I am with or without my hair… hmmmmm.. I know! I look like Daddy Mark now! See how handsome we are? So handsome that we both captured my Mommy’s heart Yes, she’s madly inlove with both of us

I’m 1 year old! Yipee! I’m a grown up!

Mommy and Daddy really went out to make my birthday celebration a huge one! Why huge? For so many reasons. First, my happiness is so huge I am with my Mommy and Daddy called to wish me a Happy Birthday. Second, a clown hosted the party. He looks huge and a little scary with his face white but I didn’t really cried. I’m a big boy now Third, a huge version of my Mickey Mouse stuff toy was there and danced for me and my friends! Yipee! Fourth, I was able to get huge smiles from my guests with my Micky Mouse and friends’ cupcakes and giveaways, and games, and prizes, and more! It was a very wonderful day!

Mommy hired someone to take pictures and take a video too. But I can’t post the video here, it’s too large… So you can visit my Mom’s Facebook photo album and see all of my pictures there.

I really enjoyed my party. Many kids came and I received many gifts too! LOL! I’m sure my guests enjoyed themselves too especially with the clown’s magic tricks and games, Mickey Mouse’s dance and picture taking sessions, the overflowing softy ice cream, the yummy mickey mouse and friends’ cupcakes and all the mickey mouse goodies that they get to bring home!

I also enjoyed the company of my loveones, aside from my one and only Mommy. There’s GrandPa and GrandMa, my aunts, my cousins and my many grand-aunts! Ahhh.. I love celebrating my birthday!

By the way, Mommy made changes in my blog just in time for my birthday. She thinks making it look brighter will mirror my sunny and happy disposition. Yes, I love being happy, I smile and laugh a lot. Why not? I have a Mommy and a Daddy who both love me so much, I have grandparents, aunts, cousins and friends who care for me… who wouldn’t be happy? So do enjoy my blog’s new look and share happiness and contentment with me…

Hey! Happy Birthday to me!

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!

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!

…fast!

My little angel is ok now after 2 days of flu and fever. He is back to his normal happy and bouncing self. God! It feels good to see him smiling and to hear him laughing again

I watched him as he sleeps and I am so thankful that his health is restored. Look at him, sooo cute, looks like he’s dreaming You should hear him giggle while he sleeps, it’s as if angels are tickling him, it never fails to put a smile on my lips.

It’s surprising though that he won’t drink his milk anymore (Promil Gold) so I switched to another brand (Bonnamil) just to see if there’ll be a change on his drinking pattern. I was surprised that he liked the other brand so much that he didn’t let go of the bottle until it was out of content. I was thinking it was just a glitz and that his dislike for milk has already worn out so I went back to his old milk on the next feeding. Still, he won’t drink, I was forced to mix another one using the other brand when he cried. uh-uh, the illness changed his taste? Oh well, as long as he stays healthy and happy, I don’t mind changing formula (the other brand is also cheaper, by almost half the price) Thank God for my angel’s good health
