Zack Loves Music

Feb 13, 2012 by Paula

My baby is fond of the iPad. It’s where we watches his favorite music videos. Whenever he sees the iPad, he will get agitated and point to it. He will only stop when we give it to him and play his favorite video. If he doesn’t like the music he will touch and attempt to play another song. At one year old he is already humming some parts of the song, “Today is the Day” by Lincoln Brewster. I only discovered it by accident. I didn’t have the iPad within reach that time so I sang it to him instead. When I stopped to my surprise he continued the song by humming.

Hubby put together a video of his song. It’s not that clear but he was really singing there.

I guess our baby took after his dad when it comes to his love for music. I know hubby is thrilled that his youngest son is showing interest in music. Pretty soon he would be buying a williams encore digital piano or a children’s guitar for my baby’s little hands to practice on. My wish is he grows up as talented or even better than his Dad.

Christmas Shopping Done

Dec 22, 2011 by Paula

When we went to the mall yesterday I thought I wouldn’t be able to buy something for my husband. We were so tired looking for gifts for the two little ones that by the time we finished it was almost night. But after eating dinner, we got the energy to do some more shopping. I told my hubby I just had to buy something and he told me they’ll just play at Timezone.

So off I went but I got sidetracked because the clothes and accessories at Tomato were so stylish and affordable at the same time. Seriously! You should check it out. I almost blew my gift money shopping for myself. hahaha! Fortunately, I was able to control myself.

I wanted to give him an alarm clock because he has to wake up early for work. No, cufflinks won’t do for him. He’s working at home now. But when I had the alarm clock checked it was defective. So they got another one and another but these were not working as well. So word of advice. Have every thing checked even if you’re on a hurry. That’s more time saving than going back to have it replaced.

After getting the third broken alarm clock I said to stop testing altogether ‘coz I won’t risk it anymore. So I opted for a super big and comfy pillow instead. Why a pillow? Hubby complains he always get the smallest pillow. I realized he’s right. haha So now he has his own big fat pillow. And we’re not allowed to use it. haha!

Anyway, when I got back I found hubby and our eldest hunched over a game.

Seems innocent enough but my eldest confessed they bought me my Christmas gift while I’m away. Gotcha! Until now my hubby is still denying and insisting he didn’t buy any but his son has already made a full confession. LOL!  So now we’re all set for Christmas.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Baby News

Aug 17, 2011 by Paula

Our baby is already 8 months old and I am regretting our decision not to buy a crib. Since he has become really adept at crawling it meant I have to watch his every move – literally! One wrong move and he would end up hurting himself which he has done so once or twice already.
That’s why I’m being extra vigilant in watching him even if that means I lose some precious time for myself. After all a mother’s job is to protect her offspring.
But how can you protect your baby if what you thought was safe was not at all? That was the tragedy that befell some of the users of the epileptic drug, Topamax. This prescription drug was approved by the FDA to control epileptic seizures and migraines but it was later found out that if taken while pregnant it increases the risk of the baby being born with cleft palate defect. That’s a real tragedy indeed. Good thing there are Austin personal injury attorney to help them get at least the compensation they deserve.

Smile, You Have Mister Donuts!

Jul 15, 2011 by Paula

Hubby brought home some Mister Donuts today and we shrieked with delight! We love it when he comes home with little surprises like this. We wanted to eat it right away but I got an idea first. Look at the photos we took playing around with the Mister Donut box!

Six Gifts for Father’s Day 2011

Jun 4, 2011 by Paula

I can’t believe it has been six years since my eldest son was born, making my hubby officially a father!  He has been a devoted Dad to my sons and I really can’t ask for anything more. Me and my children are sooo lucky to have him and I can’t thank him enough for not giving me a headache. LOL!  I want to make him feel special and loved this Father’s Day that’s why I decided to give him not one, not two, but SIX special gifts this Father’s Day – with the help of our two kids, of course!

Wow, preparing all of those things will surely keep us busy these next two weeks but I know it’s the least we can do for him. One thing that’s keeping me nervous though is the last item on our list. I wonder what we can give him with our limited budget not to mention the fact that I’m always at home. If he’s into hunting then I might give him some bushnell rifle scopes but he’s not. Hubby is a musician by heart and giving him a guitar is out of question. Anyway, this would just give me something to think about the next few days so wish me luck!

Before going out

Jan 3, 2011 by Paula

Z gamely posing for Daddy before we went out last Monday. We hardly see a genuine smile from him in pictures these days and I’m so glad I see a tiny smile on this one. My first born is definitely growing up fast! *Sigh

Anyway, the reason why our little boy is smiling is because of Daddy’s new ipod touch. He would not smile if we take a picture of him using our old digicam but if we take his photo using the itouch he couldn’t help but smile. hehe
