First banana

We gave Justin his first banana today. But he seems not to like it. :( He really don't enjoy eating fruits so much. I hope he will learn it someday.

Justin have colds

Justin have colds. It is very hard for us to see him with colds. You would see it drip from his nose somethings. I hope he will get well fast. We cannot give him any medicine for he is still a baby. Water therapy is the only thing we can do for now.

broccoli and pears

Today we tried giving Justin Pears for his breakfast and lugaw with Broccoli for lunch. I'm kinda worried because he did not like the apple yesterday. But gladly, he liked it this time and he was able to finish it all fast.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away

We tried giving Justin apple today. When he first tried it, his face became different. He doesn't want the taste of apple. I wonder why Justin doesn't want apple. When Michelle is pregnant, she ate lots of apples. Even if Justin don't like it, we still forced him to finish everything. (sorry Justin mahal ang apple eh.) Hehe

Justin caught on video

Justin was able to sit on his own today. I was able to catch it on video. While he was on our bed, we saw him try to do something different. I hurriedly get my video camera and start shooting. Luckily I was able to catch it on video. Justin is really a big boy now, as he can sit on his own already. Initially I expect him to learn for about a week from yesterday. But I was wrong, it only took him less than 24 hours to learn how to sit.

Setting a new milestone

Justin's thick mattress was delivered this afternoon. Upon installing it to his playpen, we immediately place him inside the playpen. He is so happy and keeps on turning around. I noticed that he seems to have a new trick in crawling. I saw him bend his knees and trying to get up. Justin seems to start learning how to seat on his own. He can actually sit already for a long time, but he haven't learned how to sit on his own. We do hope that in the next coming days we'll see him sit on his own.

First word

Justin's first word is "mama". At first we thought that it's just a coincidence but it's not for he keeps on saying it repeatedly. Michelle is very happy to hear Justin say his first word. While I still wait when will he say daddy or papa.

Close open close open

5am today Justin is already awake. The had a tummy time and he keeps on giving us his cute smile. As we play with him, we let him do a close open. We knew that he already know how to do that but this time, as he do it, he stares at his hands and he do the close open fast. We believe that he already familiarized it.

We should start teaching him more things. Our next lesson is to teach him how to bless. Watch out for it.

Sit down, sit down

We saw another first from Justin today. When we put him inside his playpen, we are surprised that he can sit already. He can stay seated for at least 30 seconds to 1 minute while playing his new toy star stacker. Justin is turning 6 months tomorrow and this is another good development from him.

Finally a playpen

Justin is so "malikot" now. When he is sleeping he would always want to put his head on the headboard. He keeps on turning and he can't stay in one position. When you carry him, he will climb up from your stomach to your shoulders. Though this is a good development for Justin because we know that is is very active and his body is developing.

Since today is a holiday, we decided to buy him a playpen. Because he keeps on turning around from one side of his crib to the other end. We are afraid that he might bump his head. At SM North department store's baby company we saw 2 playpen that we like, the other one is rectangular in shape but the sides are not foldable. The price is 5,400. While the other one that we saw was square shaped and the sides can be folded. Price is 2,600 We decided to get the square one because its more convenient to use. We tried it on Justin when we got home, and he seems to be happy inside the playpen.

Justin eats potato

When I got home from work today, I saw Justin eating potato with congee. He is almost done when I got home. But he have few left over which in the end was for me to eat. This is his first time to eat potato and we will try other type of food after 3 days.
