Yesterday was my baby's 8 months birthday! Before the pictures let me first summarize his milestones: 1 month: lifts head when lying on tummy, can hold his head at 45-degree angle respond to sounds stares at faces vocalizes oohs and aahs smiles started to gurgle and coo 2 months: gurgles and coos notices his hand holds head up for short periods until he mustered his strength to hold his head steady for longer period of time makes smoother movement lifts head and shoulder when lying on tummy (mini-push-up) 3 months : recognizes my face and his dad's face as well as our scent visually tracks moving object squeals, gurgles and coos started to blow bubbles recognizes our voices does mini-push-up turns toward loud sounds attempted to bring hands together smiles and laughs started to eat solid food starts "finger-sucking" 4 months : smiles and laughs can bear weight on legs coos when we talk to him started to grasp some toys but not his bottle (I wonder) imitates sounds-lal

Yesterday, we slept early around 6:30 pm after Hyzyd's bath and dinner. Around 1:00 am he woke up for his milk. After that, I expect him to go back to sleep but he's wide awake already and wanted to play with me! Oh, I'm soooooooo sleepy. Good thing that my hubby took care of him. He's defecating and my hubby took care of it. After awhile he started whimpering, crying and bawling! It's very unusual for him. I'm alarmed...something is wrong! I thought he's having flatulence so I apply Manzanilla on his tummy and let him take Gripe water...Still he's crying violently. I'm already crying while praying for God to touch my baby and heal him from this predicament. He was asleep almost 4:00 am and I'm already dizzy! When he woke up around 6:00 am and started crying again, we planned to change his diaper only to find out that his bottom is red and irritated. It's diaper rash! I wonder why does it appeared so suddenly....I bathed him last night, clea
My entry No.1 , No.2 , No.3 , No.4 , and No.5 were already submitted but my mind is still sketching some words and phrases to make one last entry, YES, my last entry I promised...he..he...So here's my No.6 entry: Do you agree that extraordinary people do extraordinary work through blogging ? It's already obvious that I do agree. Why extraordinary people? Because blogging requires beyond or out of the common order or method of thinking to be able to express oneself remarkably. They are the kind of people who loves adventure , exploration, and discovery. Why extraordinary work? Because they employed themselves upon an unusual or special service as a blogger. Not everybody can be a blogger. Only those who are committed, diligent, wise, patient and devoted people can survive in blogosphere...*wink*.... Enough with my babbling...This slogan contest is hosted by the two gorgeous sisters, Rosilie of Rosilie: My Blog and DJ Tammy of Anything Under the Sun . It just started last M

October 23, 2007 marks the day of my hubby's first step to fatherhood. I'm sure he's someone whom my son wants to grow up to be like. I saw how he acted as a hero to my son, a guide and a friend. He is always there for me and my son with his unconditional love. That's Hyzyd's dad! The following pictures will prove how my son loves his dad and how his dad loves him so much. They're great blessings for me from Heaven above. Visit Mommy Moments to join this week's theme: "That's My Dad!
...yeah...you heard me right. There's an ongoing slogan contest hosted by the two gorgeous sisters, Rosilie of Rosilie: My Blog and DJ Tammy of Anything Under the Sun . It just started last May 20 and will end on June 20, 2009. All you need to do is you must have a unique slogan about blog or blogging. You could enhance it through any decent and unique graphics. If you're like me who's not good in graphics design, don't be discouraged because what's needed here is your SHORT EASILY REMEMBERED PHRASE INTENDED TO BRING AN IDEA ( about blog or blogging as I have said ) TO A PUBLIC NOTICE. Without much ado here's my 4th entry: Once you're deeply engaged in blogging, every time is precious and you can't afford to waste a single minute faffing about. You use your spare time and even your siesta hours to blog because you have something to share and that time you spent with your readers are never wasted. This is how bloggers view their time. Actually it
How I wish I could spend my weekend on a spa...I just need some space...a breather... It would be lovely...but realistically this is not going to happen right now. I read some easy ideas for a quick recharge for a busy mom like me. I wanna share some with you: * Take it outside . I see to it that after work, I head out for a walk with my baby in tow. On Saturdays, I walk in the morning with my baby doing my gratitude walk . It makes my day much lighter and more empowered Fresh air and sunshine have a way of making everything seem a little less intense, too. * Stretch and breathe . It has been said that a couple of full-body stretches and deep-breathing exercises will get your blood flowing, reduce muscle tension, and kick-start the release of feel-good hormones in the brain. I try doing it after waking up and before heading to my work. * Write it down . I always keep a notebook to write everything. I wrote down my prayers, my discouragements, my questions, my thanksgiving and anythin
Hyzyd has already four teeth when he reaches his 7 months. Do I need to brush them now?...and I read that the answer is definitely YES!!! I thought that I begin brushing his teeth when he reaches one year old. My friend told me that though his primary teeth may be replaced during the early school years by his permanent pearls, still it's important to take care of them now and to establish the habits that will lead him toward a lifetime of dental health. So, what should I do now? Searching google resolved my query....It's confirmed that tooth brushing can begin as soon as those pearly gems have poked through the gums. This is what I'm going to do: Use a clean, damp washcloth, a gauze pad, or a throwaway finger brush to gently wipe clean the first teeth and the front of the tongue, after meals and at bedtime. Actually I've been doing this before, minus the teeth...he..he..My sis-in-law commented that Hyzyd got a clean tongue...*wink*...It's my father who taught me thi

The day I saw the other toddler who's taken care of by the same Grandma who takes care of Hyzyd that he has cold, I worried that my baby will be infected and he is! Hyzyd sleeps late tonight. My heart hurts seeing him suffering. There's no cure for the common cold but I did my best to make my baby recover and make him more comfortable as he works through the infection. I provided him plenty of fluids-water is the best!I keep his nasal passages as clear as I can by wiping away snot frequently. I do it very gently.I let him sleep with an elevated head- I put something under his mattress. I hope it will keep him comfortable this night. I believe that a good rest is important to speedy recovery. A cold is not fun but on the other side of the coin I can take comfort from the fact that the exposure to these viruses helps my baby develop his immune system to help him stave off more infections in the future. Will you agree with me?
It's been a while that I've been posting here coz I just have hectic scheds at school.As you've noticed, this is my first entry since I got my new header designed by Femikey Designs . I just told her the concept of my blog, and she gave me "something" beyond what I expected! I also changed the blog's title from Hyzyd's Diary to Our Adventure Together because this blog doesn't only discuss Hyzyd's milestones but also our adventures together as a family and I wanted to include here our testimonies of the great things God has been doing in our lives. By the way, I only changed the header since I love the lay-out installed to me by Femikey Designs . She gave me a free blog make-over last April and I just love her work. If you get tired of your blog template or lay-out, pay a visit to her site and pour out on your heart's content on how you would like to have a template/lay-out that suits your personality, your theme or whatever, I'm sure sh
I missed coming here for my bay's update. I wanna post some in the coming days. It's just that I don't have enough time. Today, my baby is clapping. Grandma who's babysitting Hyzyd told me he started clapping few weeks ago and I just notice today...Oh, poor me..I'm not there seeing my baby's success in clapping...Anyway, I'm so glad for this milestone. Another thing that grandma said is that Hyzyd's left hand isn't yet too strong to hold things but I noticed that he could hold books and some toys here in our house using both hands. If he's not interested on an item, he will not really hold it. He's not yet holding his bottle...and will not use his teether..he prefers his fingers....I'm just glad that he's so fine now and growing fast and healthy. I also noticed that the tooth on the upper gum is already visible! He has 3 teeth today!...he..he...
