Head Gear


This was Gunc's bright idea. Very much like what he did to Ate Sam before when she was just about 6 months old ---> check here

Camera Shy?

I was just minding my own business when Mom sticks this contraption, with this little red light, in front of my face. Very distracting. Will she be doing this a lot?!...



TWO Months Old


Hi Joax!

At 2 months old, you love taking a bath. Even if you are crying and fussy, once you feel your bottom on the baby tub and the water touch your skin, you suddenly become silent and relaxed and begin to enjoy the experience.

At this age, you've started to smile, respond to our voices, and recognize faces. Of course, top on the list is me... I'm sure like all babies, you enjoy looking at my face and into my eyes. We usually hold each other's gaze and just stare and smile. You also really like gazing up at Ate Sam's face and enjoy hear sing and talk.

One other notable is how much sleep I (we) are actually getting at night. You seem to like sleeping in your crib and so far, you've been an easy baby. You don't cry to much and are easily satisfied after your feeding, a change of diapers and a burp. You are also starting to self-soothe by sucking your hand.

You're growing really fast and getting heavier each day. Milestone to look forward to this month is your first laugh ;)

2 Month Well-Baby Check-up


I went back to see my doctor at exactly 2 months old. According to her, everything is going well.

My weight has gone up to 12 lbs. 11 oz.! And I am now about 23 and 1/2 inches long (both in the 75th percentile). Whew! No wonder Mommy is starting to have sore arms from lifting and carrying me. I'm growing up to be a big boy! :)

I also got 2 immunization shots (1PV and DaPT) and one oral vaccine (Rotavirus). I just cried briefly when the shots were administered but was ok afterwards. With the oral vaccine, the nurse was surprised how I fought hard to keep the medication out!

Mommy was really proud of me ;)

First Disney Trip

Went to Disneyland last June 12 with Mom, Ate Sam, and Lola B to meet with my cousins. This was the first time I met Tita Joy, Tito Jeff, Ate Alex, Tito Rowie, Tita Angela, and my kuyas Matthew, Ian, and Timmy.

I was asleep most of the time and definitely expect to go back to Disney when I can actually enjoy the sights and rides with Mom, Dad, and big sis.

Me and Lola B


Lola B has been babysitting me this past month. She's been staying with us at the apartment and giving Mom a much-needed hand around the house. She's been great at burping me and putting me to sleep, especially with her made-up lullabies that have no beginning and no end! Hehehehe But most of all, she's just been great at giving me hugs and kisses and keeping Mommy and Daddy happy with her cooking :)

I will definitely miss her the next 3 weeks while she visits with my other cousins in Chicago and Wisconsin.
