Sit, Stand, Crawl... Repeat

Kaelin is 7 months now and she is super likot! As in!  

She can sit on her own now.  She can also stand now when holding on to something.  And that's what's keeping her busy.  From pagkakadapa (lying down on tummy), she'll sit, play for a few minutes then hold on the bed rail or her crib railings and pull herself up to a standing position.  And she loves standing up!!!  She can do it for a few minutes and even do it with just one hand.  And while she's standing, she'll talk, laugh, shout, play peek-a-boo, look down, etc.  She looks really confident and proud of herself whenever she stands up, and mommy and daddy couldn't be any more proud of course.  Further, she can now walk when you put her down on the floor and hold her hands.  I'm one proud mama!!!  

Now, let's go to crawling.  My baby crawls everywhere!  She's a lot curious now so wherever she can crawl, she goes.  Whether its around her crib, our bed, the floor, the couch, name it.  She can't lie down (except when sleeping of course) or sit still for a long period of time, talagang nag-iiba sya lagi ng position.  It's even hard now to put a diaper on her.  Gusto na nya lagi dumapa agad and crawl!  Letting her finish her milk while lying down, putting a diaper on, etc. have become a challenge.  Hahaha!  

But i'm not complaining.  Truly, being a mom is one of (if not the) God's biggest blessings.  So Kaelin, bring it on!  Kayang kaya ni mommy yang kakulitan mo.  Haha. =p  I love you my baby! 

 

        

Problem with Solids

Forget my kadramahan in my last post.  I am so over it! I declined the offer and true enough, something better came along.  I'll share it to you once everything is finalized already. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one!  I hope this is it! =)

Anyway, i'm worried about my baby.  Ever since she started eating solids, her milk intake became less and less.  Mas gusto nya kumain talaga rather than dumede.  I'm just worried that she might not be getting the right amount of nutrients that she needs, afterall her solids intake are still pretty limited.  Mas maganda sana kung malakas sya kumain AND magdede.  We told her pedia about this, and he advised us to use milk as her panulak rather than water.  Nothing to worry about daw since her weight is still normal.  She didn't lose any weight but she just gained 0.1 kilo (when before she gains almost 1 kilo per month!).  My other mommy friends told me it's normal and some of their kids went through the same phase.  Baka nagsawa lang daw sa lasa ng milk and excited lang sa ibang lasa.  Sana nga....  Sana din bumalik na appetite nya for milk. 

Give Me Chocolates

I've been feeling kinda low since last week.  I'd rather not go into details but the gist is: I applied for a job, went through the process of technical exams and series of interviews, i guess i did good since two department heads are "fighting" over me, got an offer but it wasn't the offer i was expecting.  I know i shouldn't let it affect me but for some reason, it does... big time... I don't even know why.  It's not as if it's my dream job so I should be able to just shrug it off.  So, why can't i???  Arg!!!!

tama! couldn't agree more!

need i say more?

tomorrow, here i come. =)

i believe in this.

oh yes. =)

sayang, magnum is hard to find nowadays. =p

my ultimate happy food! =) if all else fails, chocolates won't!

But hey, it's another week so it's in the past now.  I shall move on!  Baka nga, it's not meant for me.  Oh well, my dream job I will soon find or better yet, it shall find me. =)

Happy Holy Monday everyone!
