mom and mms

oh how i love mms (and my mom)!

the other day, i was feeling so stressed at work and i got 3 messages from my mom. i was surprised to see that she sent me pictures of my little gabriel. too bad, her phone doesn't have 3g. i could have seen gabriel live. haha!

here goes..

the other surprise was, he was (finally) playing on his rocker. we bought it as a present for him when he was just a month old. now, he is definitely enjoying it!

overalls, toothless smiles and pointing fingers

everytime we get gabriel new clothes or stuffs, i would always ask myCoco to take pictures. that's why currently, my laptop HD is almost out of space (i'm exagerrating of course!).

we got him another overall the other day since he looks so cute in it at night. and.. he looks equally cute when wearing his sando w/ pampers during daytime!

lately, he's been very playful and it's also easy to make him smile (well, for dax - yes). myCoco imitates donald duck and this would give us a toothless smile from gabriel. after a few minutes though, he'll be tired of smiling and he'll look at us with big big eyes! very funny! he also has a habit of pointing at me.. and himself. he points at me when you ask him "sino ang kaaway mo?" and he points to himself when you ask him "sino cute?".. i know it's all coincidence, but it still makes us laugh.

last sunday, we went to zapote (where we used to live) to attend his 2nd cousin's 4th birthday party. we dressed him up but he slept almost the whole time. and during those times that he was up, all my tito's and tita's were playing with him - as well as my cousins. how i wish he could grow up in that environment. cavite is a bit too sad for mylittleCoco.

gabriel's semi-tagaytay trip

last january 28, we went to pink sisters in tagaytay to visit dax's lola madre. it was her 75th birthday and everyone from their family was there. we thought it was a good idea to bring our little angel so that everyone will see how cute and big he has become. true enough, everyone was so excited to see him except for one (who said they don't bring babies out at 2 1/2 months) haha. yeah i know he is too small but we just wanted his lola madre to see him. we got her blessings for gabriel though!

myCoco's brother, boogie, and sister, divina (aunt ann to gabriel) were there as well. does aunt ann look like little goobie (well, she calls gabriel that)? i saw her baby pictures once and gabriel does look a lot like her then.

gabriel's many faces

we so love to take pictures of gabriel!

gabriel: before and after bath

one of the things i thought i wouldn't be able to do was to bathe gabriel. he was soooo tiny during his first few weeks so i didn't dare do it. my lola was the one to give him his first bath at home. then everytime after that, i always make an excuse and ask somebody else to do it for me. well, even my mom didn't dare do it. haha!
myCoco and i, during one of our looking-for-baby-stuffs-mall-trip found a very cute (and very expensive!) bathtub from fisher price. i thought it was perfect for gabriel.. so the day after we took him home, myCoco went out to buy it. and now that i am doing the bathing, i would say that it's a must to get one for a newborn baby. very easy to use and really convenient for both me and myLittleCoco.

he was only 1 month old in the pictures above

gabriel's pix

there's quite a number of friends asking for updated pictures of our little angel. then i realized that the last that i posted here in my blog was taken during the day we took him home.. which was 2 months ago!

1 month old - december 16, 2006 (was he smiling?)

new year's day 2007

he was crying when this picture was taken. i bet he was hungry at this time. little gabriel only cries big time when hungry.. just like me.. i hate it when im hungry.

2 months old which was just a few days ago - january 16, 2007

just this morning - so adorable

2 months & 2 days

gabriel is now 63 days old. turned 2 months 2 days ago - which means i am already back to work. i hope SSS gives 1 year maternity leave for normal delivery. i really can't get enough of myLittleCoco and i am having a hard time every morning when myCoco and i leaves the house for work. like this morning, it took us awhile to leave because he threw up. and on our way out of the house, he was looking at us with those eyes again.. it looks like he was begging for us to stay.. then he cried (well, i think he cried because he was hungry.. haha).

i miss:
- giving him warm baths on his super cute bath tub
- dressing him up
- cleaning his ears and nose
- trimming his really small finger nails
- looking at his face while he is sleeping
- looking at his face when he is smiling while sleeping
- looking at his eyes
- his eyes looking at me
- his "uwaaaaaaaa, uwaaaaaaaaa"
- his catlike cry when he's hungry
- sleeping beside him anytime of the day
- everything about him

arrkkkss. i want to go home.
