He Is The Man

A new superhero is in town and his name is Pacman. He single-handedly stopped all crimes in the Philippines yesterday. According to reports there was no reports of violence and even road accidents. The 3-day mall wide sale was deserted. Streets on a Sunday were empty and that is saying much when you talk about the streets of the Philippines. Obviously, everyone was busy watching the fight. In my case, I was too busy with the kids to even watch however, I more or less know the outcome judging from the yells and countless blow by blow comments from the next door neighbors. What's the point? Manny Pacquiao was going to win there was no doubt in my mind about that. The dude has a lot of misses regarding his personal life but he sure can rock it in the ring.

Too bad Dad wasn't able to catch the fight. They will visit Las Vegas probably next week. He and my Mom are still in Illinois right now for business. Leisure comes next in the agenda. I was actually teasing them to pass by the chapel and have a quickie wedding just for fun, you know what Dad said? "Once is enough!" Anyway, they should try the casino slot machines while there. I heard there are so many different kinds of slot machines you get confused on what to choose. As for me, I'd settle on online blackjack or online slot machines games. This way I don't have to leave the comforts of my room just to experience the thrill of it all.


Baby Jacob @ 2 months!

My big boy is already 5.1 kgs. He is doing fine. He smiles, coos and ahhs. He especially likes it when we talk to him. I usually talk to him about his surroundings, about what his big brother is doing. Ozzy loves talking to his brother. He would show him his toys and Oz would get frustrated when the baby does not listen to him.

Jacob's cradle cap which was a concern for me a few weeks back is gone. The rashes (pimple like things) in his face before which is normal for a new born, is gone too. He sleeps longer at night waking up just 2 times now. He would nurse and then go back to sleep. I'd like to think we have developed a schedule for him already which is good because I function better with schedules. The only problem I have now with his is that he loves to be carried all the time. We always make it a point to put him down whenever we can even though its hard now, its better this way for in the long run he will eventually learn to sleep in his crib.

How's he developing?
Your baby can tell the difference between familiar voices and other sounds, and he's becoming a better listener. He can also show you that he's in tune with his environment. Notice how he looks to see where certain noises are coming from.

An ongoing conversation (although seemingly one-sided) can help your baby develop his sense of place. He may even watch your mouth as you talk, fascinated by how it all works. You'll be amazed by his ability to communicate with a growing repertory of coos (musical, vowel-like sounds), smiles, and unique cries to express his different needs. - Source
As for me, I had tenderness and redness in my left breast this weekend. A sign that a milk duct has been clogged. I have already applied hot compress and tried to express all the milk as much as I can. It is still painful. I just hope it does not result to anything serious.

In-Charge

Their off. Mom and Dad left for the US last night. They are scheduled to come home by the end of the month, their stay there would be short but sweet. They are planning to visit LA, Minnesota and even Las Vegas. If I was with them I would have wanted to visit Florida because many of my friends are there. I will do that if it was me traveling. Anyway, last night just before my parents left a fire broke out in a nearby school. We can clearly see the smoke and fire from the third floor of our house. Suddenly, I felt panic about being left in-charge of the house. I realized there was more to it than making sure the ref is stocked. I should also make sure the doors are properly locked at night, no lights are left on, no faucet is leaking and many little details I took for granted before because Mom was around. I especially should make sure electrical appliances are turned off and even unplugged when unused. Heaven forbid, burning the house down when Mom and Dad is away is NOT an option.
