wonderful weekend!

misses grandma

Yes! We are missing grandma big time. Its been quite some time since we saw grandma and grandpa, and yes! we are absolutely missing them. big time. Hoping to see them so soon. I guess aunt trace will be having a party in her place, in a beautiful place. In the lake.

They are living in a beautiful lake and Lukee had experience his first boat riding. It was fun. Hoping for a repeat. hehe!

And, for surely, grandma and grandpa will also be there.

Convinient of having a Motorhome

Every Summer season, My in-laws love to spend most of their time at the campground. Aside from traveling, camping is one of their hobbies. Having a motorhome is great. How would I know? I don't have one. Well, my in-laws has. They have a beautiful hotel like motorhome. I love it. I wish I have one. But, I believe its pricey. I can't surely afford. But, my husband's dad offered to buy him an EV but my husband is so picky and has an attitude problem. His dad was about to buy him an RV that 17k US Dollars for a 27 feet long RV but, again he is so picky that he wanted to be the one to pick what he wants and get it. He wanted a motorlite XLT, 18 feet long, made by flagstaff, but the price is quite high for a small rv, so his dad is not going to spend that kind of money anymore. At first they were willing to buy him as much as 17k, and now, I guess they've change their mind. Who won't anyway? Beggars can't be choosy. But hobby is. That just ruin everything. I am not sure now, if his dad still willing to.

Pacifiers

I am not sure how many kids, or the actual ratio of babies loves to use pacifiers, and the babies that don't. Luke is one of the babies that doesn't like pacifiers at all. I have tried to give it to him and I am not sure if refusing means not liking it. Yes! He refused and cried even harder whenever I put the pacifier into his mouth, he prefers boobies. hahahaha!!!That's for sure.

Moreover, before I was discharged by the hospital and whom my Doctor approved, one of the very kind and helpful nurse educated on just about everything, from bathing, cleaning his umbilical cords, breastfeeding, dressing and just about everything. It made me feel so equip with the knowledge of an expert moms. I listened and hid their useful and helpful advices. And, one of the things, they told me was about pacifier. The nurse said that pacifier helps reduce SID. She also added that, some babies sleep longer than it should which isn't good. I was scared. But, with pacifier it will help babies to be aware of their surroundings from to time. But, my Lukee never use any of his pacifier he didn't like it at all. And, since the nurses told me about babies sleeping disorder I always made sure that I wake him up, to feed him or simply change his diapers to make sure that his sleeping is normal.

Now, my question again was, how many is the ratio of babies using or like pacifier and, so the babies that don't. Any idea? I think I got to research about this. Astonishing.

teething

Oh! by the way, our little man has long been teething, and these past few days I noticed a tiny tooth in hi gum below. it took so long for his tiny tooth to come out. but it is starting now, He is closer to have some teeth. awesome! I still can't believe that my darling Lukee will be six months. Whew!!! Time flies real fast. Indeed. His dad has been very supportive all throughout, he had been the one buying all the Lukee's need. He is always been there. All the time. Happy and content with his son. He'd been buying different kinds of teething rings, but, Lukee never really fuss a lot. I heard moms says that their kids didn't let them sleep for four nights while teething, but, so far, thanks goodness, Lukee boy isn't like that.
His dad and I argued, because he wanted me to put some gel in Lukee's mouth to help him with his teething process, but, I argued as an old school belief, If old days people didn't even know teething gel and nobody used teething gel in those early years then why the need? It is part of the process of growing, let him feel the pain, I don't even think he would feel or remember the pain. I didn't, that's I am sure. But, these days people has answers to every pain. As far as old school belief is concern I don't tolerate to provide medicine for Lukee of any sort, unless badly needed.

exposure to medicine in early age will lead to an addiction. Isn't it? anyway....

Help develop the love of reading

There is only one dream that a mother could ever have and wish is for her child to be smart. Isn't it? How to be smart? Intelligent? Could it be enhance or genetic? If it could be enhance I would love to spend the rest of my life just enhancing my Lukee's love for reading. I guess it start there. Once a child loves his books more than any toys certainly he would do good academically. Isn't he? But, there are cases that no matter what moms do, children do and choose what they wanted to, and as if they have their own mind. I have been purchasing tons and tons of books for our Lukee, and we are simply hoping he would love it. We are hoping that we could help develop his love for reading. I am certain that with parents guidance somehow like trees, it shall bear fruits.

Loving water melon

Lukee boy loves water melon, big big time. Whenever we were in a restaurant and I was ready for my dessert, which I usually just prefer fruits, Lukee boy would eat water melon too. Amazing, how he likes to suck the water from it and his dad is even scared that he might choke from biting a piece of it. but, we can't simply stop him, he would cry like crazy. I guess, he likes the taste of it, and since its kinda cold perhaps it may feels good also in his gum. Since then, his daddy, was buying a water melon already, stuck in the refrigerator. So whenever, I am eating, he does too. In fact we just done eating half of it. hehe! This time he bite a huge chunk of it, that I needed to get it from his mouth using my hands to make sure he won't choke.

Little man

My 2 L.D.L. This is funny. I love to take pictures of these 2 guys. The funny part was whenever his dad turned his head on either left or right, Lukee boy did too. I was like, Oh! man! This kid is funny. hehe!!!

We had so much fun. As much as he likes to be outside, any outside affairs would be so perfect for him. He was looking around too as if he knew what is going on. he is such one of a kind little man

baby sitting job

This little boy here name is Daniel, I baby sit him once from 7:30-5:30 for free, and I guess it will never happened ever again. he is huge and heavy. I guess he is healthy. He is a month older than my Lukee.

It is actually nice to have playmates around. It made me see the differences. Daniel has his teeth for five months, Lukee doesn't yet. Lukee is kinda slender and Daniel kinda bulky. Daniel is good on the floor, he can turn and turn for a long period of time, while Lukee gets irritated and needs to be picked after few minutes but Lukee loves to stand, while Daniel can't.

It was an amazing experience being able to see the differences of a children.
It made me feel good. Good in a sense that I may be doing right in taking care of my own child and made me change on the things which I think I am not. Change for the better, however, taking care of two child is a huge responsibility. I was tired, exhausted and I was deprived with my nap time. I will never baby sit ever again, unless I am being paid. hehe! I would rather spend the rest of my time with my Lukee than baby sitting someone's child for free. ewww!!! Baby sitting job is pretty hard.

Lukee boy is good enough for me right now.

with grandpa

Grandpa hold Lukee while we were visiting my hubby's daughter who just gave birth to her son, Jack. Lukee was kinda fussy while in my arms so the grandpa volunteered to hold him, and to my amazement, he was doing great in his grandpa's arms. I am just so happy having my husband's family. They are so incredibly a great people. They may have some flaws, but, who doesn't? We all have, but in my eyes, they are simply the best. I think grandpa loves his Lukee too. He is always staring at him every time we were at them. He can't simply take his off of our Lukee boy. He even told us a short story about their friends, who happened also to have a grandchild as old as Lukee, and they thought their grandson is cute, and the grandpa said, since they are their friends of course they can't say, No! He isn't cute. So they simply go with the flow and said also the magical word, oh!!!! He is so cute..." but, grandpa said, "the kid isn't cute at all, and Lukee is cute, I need to show them the real cute" he added. Hehehe!!!

Grandpa loves the Lukee. That's I am sure of. hehe!!! Love you too grandpa..you are the best.
