Baby's First Mass

We took RJ to mass for the first time today. He had one wet diaper, a couple of farts (that we thought were poopie diapers), and was only fussy twice... other than that, he was an absolute angel! Ahhhhh, we're hoping he'll be like that all the time... we'll see ;)

Filipino Curious George

Ever since my son was in my uterus, I read to him. Yesterday I checked out childrens' books from the library. The little guy is only 8 weeks old so I try to find stories that are short and that I enjoy reading. Since I love monkeys, it only made sense to get some Curious George books.

My mother-in-law is so adorable... she reads the stories to him and puts her on spin on the stories. For example, when Curious George was eating pizza - she taught my son that vegetables (gulay) are better than pizza, and he should eat that instead. So for a couple of days she kept asking him "You want pizza or gulay?"

Today she read another book to him, but in Tagalog. I love it. I'm crossing my fingers that my son will be able to understand and speak Tagalog :)

Baby's First Outing

My son is finally 8 weeks old - the age his pediatrician said he could "go out". So we took him to Babies R Us today so we could try on some baby carriers with him actually in them. It was weird - last time I was in that store I was pregnant with him... wow. His next outing will probably be his first mass on Sunday. Our parish priests have been asking about him and wondering when he's going to attend mass - can't wait for him to meet that Fathers and receive a blessing from them :)

Lastest Discovery

I recently clipped a coupon for Premium M&Ms and decided to pick some up when I went to the grocery store yesterday. Wow - my tastebuds were in heaven - Mint M&M's are DEEEEEEEEEELICIOUS!!!! Why hadn't I tried them before??? Oh yeah, they're like $3 a box. So totally worth it... I better slow down though, I've gotta lose the extra baby weight that I gained ;)
