The best - that's what every mother want for her offsprings. That's the reason I personally choose to breastfeed baby for six exclusively months. That's the reason I still breastfeed him today. That's the reason I'll let him wean on his own. And that's the reason I'm giving him vitamin C aside from his staple Nutri-10 multivitamins.

beaten and torned - this box of vitamin C was one of my to-buy-list again next time we hit the mall :)

Baby loves the smell and taste of his vitamin C. Yes, he smells it first before smacking the spoon to the last drop!

Vitamin C is more effective when taken with zinc because it acts like mortar and plaster to the hollow blocks which are the vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, making them much more effective and efficient when it comes to fortifying the immune system!

I'll end up this post with a video from Ceelin!

Baby's Top 5 Today

1) I smell competition between the first two boy apos (grandchildren) and my hunch is true enough I didn't let them out of my site. On these photos where my mom and dad (the lolo and lola - grandparents) and in between them are their apos - Jerson Clyde and Aljei. Baby Clyde seemed amaze and at awe at LJ (short for Al-jei), he's left his mouth hanging most of the time.

2) Baby JC always want to play with Aljei.

3) He just wants to do every single thing that LJ do, like playing on the phone, tablet, computer, even driving his "kariton" (toy car).

4) JC cries whenever LJ has to bid his farewell.

5) They have a love-hate relationship most because they want their lolo to praise and recognise them.

Two silly boys - I love them. <3

I'm Guilty of Being a Critic

It should always be done my way - it usually is good, I'm the one doing my research and assignments, but, honestly, sometimes... I mean most of the times, it is not good. Whenever hubby do the bathing, I always ask if the water is warm enough, he needs to use the freshly pressed clothes, not the freshly dried. That the baby have his own towel and he should not replace ours instead. That he should make sure all the things - from clothes, powder, towel, lotion and bed is set before taking the baby to bath. I am sometimes hard on him especially when it comes to our baby and I'm guilty about it. I'm just happy that he is patient with me.

I know the hubby is just trying to help with the baby, have a part of our baby's first year and apparently I'm always there ready to correct him. There's a point when he lose his confidence on taking care of our baby, became reluctant to move and initiate while I get more frustrated and resents him for not doing his share of responsibility.

I did made him feel a little less important when it comes to our baby, and good thing I grew out of it. I let the mundane things shrug off my shoulders, unless it's about our baby's general health and safety (remember, I'm the one doing the research) I now let him do his parenting his own way. As always, breastfeeding is "me and baby time", so I let him took care of babe when he can so he could have his own "me and baby time"! It was quite hard but the longer we do it, it became a ritual. Now, as I previously mention in one of my Baby's Top 5 Today is that bath time is our quality time together - the three of us. Just playing and having a good time!

That's it for my rambling... To end this post on a lighter note, here is a picture of the past about 8 years ago. When our baby is still in the stork's baby factory...

Sneak Peak to Elizabeth and James Michael's Big Day

The holiday vacation should have made me posts more often than usual, but as it turned out - it didn't. Guess what? Well, it's because we are too busy prepping everything up for my little sister's wedding on January 11! Not just that, I had to choreograph a surprise dance number! That's our little secret - I might share here. Ha ha

We are still busy, packing Beth's things away. You know the drill. But I will let you sneak in to what's we've been up to and if you follow me on Instagram (@gerilen) then you might already have the idea on the motif and the details. Nevertheless, here's to forever!

The view from our hotel room

the bride's bouquet

the matron of honor's flowers (and incase you are wondering... Yes, I am the maid of honor, married and all that. We consider ourselves best friends and worst enemies sometimes, we only had each other as sisters, besides, she's my maid on honor, too <3)

they had a lot of giveaways... and this is the only one who got online, for now.

this is a DIY wedding gown, details soon!

the boys got the same ties except for the groom

Will chop these down to bite sizes soon!

Congratulations to the groom and best wishes to the bride.
