Dear Baby,

Howdy, baby! You’re sleeping now. As usual, here’s Mommy writing a letter for you. I should have written you this letter a few days back, but, Mom’s very busy.

Did you know that today we (Daddy, Mommy, and you) ate at your small table for a change? Oh, not just for a change, actually, it’s more of making you feel eating time should be in a table. You don’t actually want your high chair anymore. You’d prefer standing on your high chair, or, rather, seat on top of your high chair! Good thing Mommy thought of letting you use your small (alphabet) table this noon. Whoala, and Daddy thought of eating there, too. Mommy followed. We took pictures! Haha. You’re so adorable, baby. You kept on going near the camera so majority of our pics then only got your face. You somehow ate well. Wow. That’s great. Dinner time somehow went well, too. I wish you’re always like that…We all ate there again.During the weekdays, we’d love to eat with you again in your small table, at least twice a day.

I want to tell you some interesting things and tricks you did this week. And you really amazed Daddy and Mommy!

Here goes:

When we’re at the McDonald’s, an Arab woman called her kids and said, “Taal! Taal!” We were too shocked when you mimicked her, “Taal! Taal!”, in the same accent and loud voice of the woman! Haha. You’re such a darling, baby. Continue reading →

Dear Baby,

I LOVE YOU, Baby.

I’M VERY SORRY, TOO.

Here I am at 1:12a.m. in our living room and in front of my laptop, writing a letter to you again, telling you how much I love you, and how sorry I am for being a bad mother at times.

Mommy is just exhausted. You don’t seem to grow well. It’s because you don’t want to eat at all. I understand that you’re at the age wherein you seem to be a picky eater and that you want to exercise your independence. But, my lovely baby, you’ve been like that since you’re two months old.

Daddy and Mommy were talking last night about you – how you’ve been when you’re still a small baby. You didn’t want to be massaged; you’d arch your back; you’d stand when you’re being diapered even when it’s already soiled with wee or poop; you wouldn’t take your vitamins; you wouldn’t drink your milk; you wouldn’t want to be bathed…

And, yes, my darling, now that you’re a toddler – you’re 15 months old now, you still love to act independently. Ahh, I need to add to the above list that you wouldn’t want your fingernails to be cut! Now you have monster nails both in your hands and toes. And how you love to scratch Mommy’s arms with your monster nails! :) Continue reading →

Dear Baby,

Hello baby! So sorry for not writing you letters for how many days now. Mom’s so tired lately due to a lot of things. You seem to be a handful these days. But don’t worry. It’s normal. Mom’s just kinda sad that you don’t seem to grow well. Lately though you’ve been eating a lot of mashed potato at the IKEA resto.

Mommy made her own mashed potato and gravy sauce. Hmmm. I wonder if I made it right, but, you did eat well.

It’s final. Mommy wouldn’t leave you in our hometown. I decided two nights ago that I’d leave you there for 5 months until such time that you’d gain enough weight. But I know that it would be hard for both of us. Tonight, I decided that we’ll make it together – you, me, and Daddy in making you grow. We’d have our vacation together, too. Mommy decided that it wouldn’t be good to have international flight if it’s just the two of us again.

You amazed Daddy when you showed him that you closed the cap of the milk (in sachet). You just didn’t close it by putting the cover; you twisted the cap by moving it in a circular motion. How did you know it should be closed that way? Continue reading →

Dear Baby:

Howdy, baby! I hope you get well soon. Your nasal mucus has been pestering you for over 5 days now. It must be because of the caretaker; he grabbed you without considering that you’re still a baby. He doesn’t know how to handle a baby. I think the weather is also a culprit. But usually your nasal mucus doesn’t last that long. I hope your appetite will get back soon so you’d have a strong immune system.

Other than that nasal mucus, you’re fine. I am sure that time will come wherein you’ll hit your growth curve. For now I am just happy that you’re perfectly doing all right. Continue reading →
