Rafa's 4th month...

She entertains herself by playing toys or anything that she can get hold of. She holds her head upright when she's lying on her tummy. She giggles at the sight of kids playing. She responds when she hears her name being called. She kicks and moves her hands when she sees kids playing basketball.

She still breastfeeds.

Congratulations Gabbie!

Keep up the good work Ate Gabbie. We're proud of you and we will always be here to support you and help you achieve your dreams.

1st Honorable

All our hard work had paid off. Ate Gabbie will be receiving the 1st Honorable Mention, Most Talented and 2nd Place in Reading Quiz Bee Awards on Wednesday during the Nursery class moving up ceremony.

Congratulations Ate Gabbie. This is really a very good start. We will continue to work and study hard so you can maintain your good academic standing until college :) We are so proud of you 'Neng, we love you! :)

Goodnight little Rafa...

Advanced?

Pedia said, as of 3rd month check up that Rafa is developing earlier than most babies her age. At exactly three months, she could already roll over to her side and days after that she was able to roll back and even fully on to the other side. And then a few days more I noticed that she could hold her head up steadily already when she's lying on her tummy.

She also measures almost 2ft on her 3rd month although she's not gaining much weight, but it's just normal for breastfed babies.

Now at almost four months, she's starting to show interest in "other" foods, and she's showing some signs of teething (she bites almost everything she can hold) and she can hold her feeding bottle already on her own.

Bib?

Whoever invented this, as early as now, thank you. :)

And thanks to Rafa's ninang Macan who sent this all the way from Germany.

Scared No More

These entertainment stuff in malls and parks used to scare Gabbie away. But few weekends ago, I was surprised to hear her ask money from her daddy that she can put in the box in front of this guy so she can see it dance and she can have photo taken beside him.

Bath time fun time

Rafa can now sit on the baby bath tub so it's so easy na for us to bathe her.

She really likes taking a bath. After her morning nap she will nurse from me and play a little. When she gets bored she will cry but when I put her on the tub and splash water on her face, she's all smile na.

I vote for Rafa (3months) as the youngest Rusher in town :)

Last Saturday was a "hectic" day for us. It was Rafa's check up schedule in the morning at Capitol Medical Center in QC. We had to pick up a bag we sent for repair somewhere in QC also. We were invited to the baptism of my nephew in Sta. Ana Manila. It was also my friend Anna's birthday celebration in their house in Araneta QC.

And then there was the book signing of Chico and Delamar's books in Greenbelt 4 at 2pm onwards. We already missed the book signing last week in NBS Megamall. We arrived a little past 6, the book signing ended 6pm. Galing di ba! Haha. So this time I told Mike we should go, or we will forever regret not going and having our book signed.

After our check-up, we went to Makati, had some snacks in Bubba Gump also in Greenbelt then went back to QC for Anna's birthday dinner.

Happy Valentine's Day!
