sleepyhead

One of the only activities that our baby does right now, aside from drink milk, is sleep. Mateo sleeps most of the time and yet with all those sleeptime, you’d think Ramil and I would be as well-slept as him. He wakes up almost every 2 hours which translates to insufficient shut-eye for us.

our little angel

Ramil and I have been trying hard to get a shot of Mateo whenever he gives small quick smiles. We haven’t been lucky. But my mom was.
According to a book I’ve read, babies’ first smiles are because of gas and not a voluntary thing. Although this smile was totally involuntary, the picture totally [...]

pooping face
Mateo has this expression whenever he is pooping. It just cracks us up The first time Ramil and I noticed this expression, we didn’t think much of it. Then we started noticing it everytime he is pooping. Everytime we see this kind of face now we go, uh-oh!

We finally brought our baby home. After staying in my parents’ house in QC for almost 2 weeks, Ramil and I decided to go back to our place in Taytay and really start the nitty-gritty of family life. Another reason is Ramil’s paternity leave which ended last Friday.
So yesterday, Ramil went to school and I [...]

Mateo had his first check-up since being discharged from the hospital last Friday. He weighed 3.14 kg upon birth and we were very excited to find out how much he gained/lost. We were betting on a weight gain since he is definitely rounder though I’ve read that babies tend to lose weight during the first [...]

With my boys.
These two people have been making my day lately. I only have to look at them to know that God has blessed me with so much. Nevermind that we’re not as financially comfortable as we want to. I have all the riches I’ll ever need.

our satisfied milk guzzler
This was taken right after consuming almost 3 batches of 2 oz of milk. We have yet to check his weight on his first pedia visit on Friday but judging by the enlargening chin and the now-cannot-be-seen neck, we don’t need to guess that our little angel is on the road to [...]

We are currently struggling right now with breastfeeding. I say we because it has been a team effort so far, Me, Mateo, and Ramil. Mateo has successfully fed from me yesterday. Or so I thought.

Whenever he wakes up, it's usually because he's hungry. He usually wakes up every 2 hours more or less. He would [...]

first day parents

Ramil and I are lucky parents. Mateo has been a well-behaved newborn. We think God gave us such a good little angel because Ramil and I sucked from day 1. Hehe!
I was dead-set on breastfeeding Mateo even before I gave birth. There were just so much more advantages of giving him breastmilk than formula. So [...]
