It's me, HYZYD!

There's no denying that feeding babies is a messy business! I'm AMAZED of how much mess one little person can create! I TRY NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE MESS and just enjoy these special moments with my baby. More cutie messy babies are found at Mommy Moments . Join us and let's have fun !

During bedtime, after our play , I read to him his favorite book " The Bedtime Prayers " . He's not just contented on listening but he wanted to " read " too!

Thanks Karen of My so-called world for the first two awards of my baby's blog . We really appreciate this . Best and lovely! Wow! This is way above my expectations...

Since last week Hyzyd is showing us his exaggerated cutie smile that shows off his big front teeth which makes everybody around him can't help but SMILE, too! We love it . You'll just say "smile baby with the beautiful eyes" and then he'll show you! Very good baby!

I wanted to keep the memory of my baby's first months fresh in my mind for years to come. I know that some of the mementos from this first year will be the things that my child is going to treasure when he grows up and has his own children! Here are some of Hyzyd's "firsts" with date. Yesterday, he was celebrating his 9 months birthday! By God's grace he can accomplish the following: * Chews on objects * Reaches for utensils when being fed * Turns head away when finished eating * May sleep between 11 and 13 hours a night; takes 2 to 3 naps (may vary) * Rolls all the way around * Sits unsupported * Gets on arms and knees in crawling position * Has specific cries for various n
