You've Got A Look-A-Like

Let's! play a game.

Some said I look like my dad, some said I look like my mom, while other said it's a mix. Well, just look into the photos below and let me know your opinion by leaving a comment below (photo from left: my dad, me and my mom).

Have fun.

Have a nice day,

I'm One Month Old

This coming Sunday, I'll be one month old. What's up after a month snoozing, crying and feeding?. At birth, I had no idea that my arms and legs were attached to me. That's all changing now as I starts exploring my body.

I am still being breastfed exclusively (mom is determined to do this up to my 2nd year). Aside from the rashes I have right now, everything is okay. I gained 0.15 lbs and I now weighs 8.14 lbs.

There are several milestone a baby might achieved on the first month and these are:

• Lift head 45 degrees when on stomach (I did this when I was 4 days old)
• Vocalized in ways other than crying (e.g. cooing)
• Smile in response to your smile
• Lift head 90 degrees when on stomach (watch the video below)
• Hold head steady when upright
• Bring both hands together
• Smile spontaneously

I am still practicing the tummy position and I am almost done mastering this skill.

Have a nice day,

20 Days After

Mom's womb was a warm and cozy environment, and it takes time for me to adjust to the various sights, sounds, and sensations of life outside her womb.

The only way I know to communicate is by crying (usually when I am hungry), but they can communicate with me through their voice and their touch. (I can now recognize mom and dad's voice and pick it out among others.)

I should be put down on my stomach for "tummy time" when I am awake. I should sleep on my back, but I also need to spend time on my belly every day to strengthen my neck muscles, which help me push up, roll over, sit up, and crawl. Tummy time will also help me avoid developing a flat spot on my head from being on my back.

By the end of this week, baby may lift her head (hmm , I did it for the first time when I was just 4 days old) briefly and possibly move it from side to side when she's lying on her stomach. Soon, my nervous system and muscle control will mature and my jerky movements will become more fluid.

Above photo was taken 3 days ago. After I was exposed to indirect sunlight, I bought pandesal and coffee for my parent's breakfast (just kidding).

Have a nice day,

My First Check-Up

Here's a video of my first visit to my Doctor, it was also my 2nd vaccination (BCG or anti-tuberculosis) after being vaccinated with Hepatitis B. I also gained 0.45 lbs. and now weighs 7.55 lbs.

A Song From My Daddy

Here's a song composed by my father entitled "Langit Na", it's a song written just for me :D

LANGIT NA
Words and Music by: Ricky Pascual

Anong ligaya ang aking nadarama
Nang una kang masilaya't makita
Kislap ng 'yong mata'y sadyang nagniningning.
Ang 'yong tinig ka'y sarap na marinig
Sa 'king puso'y parang isang awit

KORO:
Langit ang aking nadarama
Sa pagdating mo sa aming buhay
Munti mong mga ngiti dulot ay ligaya
Ang puso ko ngayo'y sadyang tuwang-tuwa.

Bawat oras ako'y nananabik
Na makita ka habang nahihimbing
Damhin mo ang aking mga halik
Mga yakap at aking paglalambing
Sa 'king bisig ikaw ay mahimbing
(KORO)

Have a nice day,

P.S.
Here's a short message from my 5 year old cousin Kuya Luigi. Thanks Kuya Luigi!
