The Baby Blog

I know it's already Wednesday, but I have to share with you all how my weekend went.

First we took Git in My Belly for his pictures (ones that we are going to include in the baptism invites). We decided to go to Photo Galleria at Sunvalley...cheaper and you get more pictures in about an hour (yeah right!) Let me just say that it was a madhouse that day...We had prom couples, regular couples, people who think they're hella cute that wanna take solo pictures, and teenie boppers dressin in the same outfits! Then there was us! Because GIMB has been throwing up lately I decided to change him at the studio right before the picture...

Why was I the one sweating during the photo shoot. Because he is a baby, the photographer used a whole roll of almost pictures on him. It was fun trying to make him smile... So, we were able to get a few good ones in there! then in changing the props we tried to sit him up by himself.... Aside from tipping over on his side.. it was quite successful. Even people in the mall stopped to watch him! I now have proof that he is the next Gerber baby!

Well, taking the pictures was the first part... waiting for the proofs and picking the pose you want was another. Have I mentioned how flustered I get when I am under pressure. Brahma Bull got a little peeved when it came to this point! I couldn't decide how many I wanted of each pose! He does have a side profile looking downward that would make a perfect CD cover! Once that was decided... I let BB go and buy a jacket at Macy's to hopefully make him feel better! I think it worked!

By the time all the photo stuff was over it was already 8:30pm..."Should I still go out tonight with the girlz?" By the time I reached our place, I made my decision to drive out to the city and join my friends! BB was going to stay home and sing his heart away with Cover Brutha anyways!

It has been over a year I believe since I had gone to a club to go dancing. I mentioned to Voodoo Child, we've only gone dancing at weddings! So, not only was I suffering from not having anything hip to wear, but wondering if I still knew how to dance. The moment we walked into 330 Ritch I got scared cuz I had no clue what song was being played, and everyone looked so different from the last time I saw them.

Okay, it was fun....dancing to the ol' skool music and bustin' out the moves from way back when... man, I even forgot about my "box"... thanks Weekender for reminding me! I tell ya.. if it weren't for Boy Wonder and frenz, I probably would have ended up dancing by myself! Well, after what seemed like a marathon of dancing.. We finally decided to call it quits...Thank Goodness!

As I we said our goodbyes I couldn't help but think that the reality is...I won't get to do this again for a long time...You wanna why...
I ended up getting home at 3am...I couldn't even wake up to do middle of the night feedings! Then I lugged myself to practice.. which was such a task for me... Even up til yesterday, I wasn't back to my regular irregular sleeping pattern! Man, I did not realize how much energy going out can be... But it was all worth it... not quite sure if I can go out freakin' guys anymore, but I will always be down to party with my friends!

He is sitting up! john posted him up in his crib in front of his "kick piano", and there he was sitting on his own, watching the moving lights light up!! It's pretty cool to watch him develop these skills. He hasn't rolled over yet, so i am kinda worried! He stands pretty stongly though. I wonder if it's possible to just start walking and miss the whole crawling thing?

AJ's girlfriend was born on Wednesday! Congrats to the Atendido's who gave birth to their beautiful baby girl, Isabelle! John and i went to visit mom and baby, who are doing really well. John says they are going to be figure skating partners... "the first Philippine representative". [Any other suggestions for the "pair"]

Moe just said to keep our son away from their daughter...

John says, "How do we know it's not the other way around?"

Anyways, I couldn't even remember AJ being that small with the "newborn" cry. But it just gave me chills seeing how excited mom was..and tired! That part I can't seem to forget! I told John that I want to have another... but only after AJ starts sleeping through the night!

Take easter bunnies!

PARTY TIME
this weekend we celebrated the first birthday of AJ's kuya matt-matt! Kuya josh also came up from lala land to join in on the festivities. So, for the whole weekend, the 3 stooges were complete. Now, all we have to do is wait for the 2 PI uncles to arrive and the Basketball team will be official! Sunday we all went to church (yes, I go to church!). AJ was making his "I'm tired, but I'm gonna try and cry anyways" cry. Then Josh was talking cuz he saw all the pictures of Jesus everywhere. Finally add Matt-matt to the choir who is wailing cuz he claims he is really talking, but just comes out like a loud "ahhhhhhh"! The funny part... they were the only kids making noise in church!

Back to the birthday party...it was the most hectic I have ever seen. There were kids everywhere! Picture this if you can.... About 30-40 adults, which is already a good sized get-together, right. Then add about 20 kids to that! That is on average one kid per couple! John and i had to leave for a little breather and walk around the mall!

BABY UPDATE
There was a laugh! AJ finally started to laugh. It must be contagious because if you hear him, you cannot resist a laugh either! His grip is getting stronger and stronger. With adult help and supervision he can even stand himself up! We think he is just going to skip crawling and go right into walking. However, after this past weekend, I'm not quite sure I want him to walk yet... I am not ready to run around after him!

I had gotten my haircut (nice and short) in SF with my aunt. Daniel's station was upstairs in a loft area, so auntie and AJ stayed downstairs enjoying the nice weather. In the middle of getting my new do, i hear these "duck" sounds... It was AJ laughing! Apparently he is very ticklish right under his chin, specifically the left side!

We are really enjoying our new ride though! Just got the windows tinted, so it's a little easier to keep the baby shaded from the sun. I finally saw another Matrix in Vallejo... just like ours, too! oh well, the glory lasted for awhile!

PET PEEVE
okay i know all you smokers out there were already pissy that you are not aloud to smoke indoors. Meaning you gotta stop your groove just to go outside and enjoy your smoke. Well, I'm sorry, but also... don't smoke anywhere near a baby either! My aunt and i decided to grab a couple of fraps from Starbuck's. Since it was a nice day we wanted to sit outside so the baby can enjoy the fresh air! Then a few minutes later... these two guys decide to sit at the table right next to us (there were two other empty tables also around the corner!) and SMOKE! We had the baby stroller, which is hard to miss, but they still decided to smoke right next to us!

Is it wrong for me to be mad?
