Sleep through the night

Published by

Vierte sleeps beside me since we got home. He has a crib which was inherited from my cousins and a new one as well a gift he got when he was baptized. When Coy was home for the holidays he insisted that Vierte sleeps on his crib and not with us but I refused too since I can’t sleep well when he’s on the crib. I tend to wake-up every five minutes to check on him and when its feeding time i would have to get up and get him. With him sleeping beside me feeding time is easy, I just need to give him his “nanan” right there and there both of us lying in bed, I get better sleep but not that long deep sleep I wish I could have.

I haven’t notice though if he’s now able to sleep through the night as when I sense him moving I either give him a hug or feed him. It would be ideal if he sleeps in his crib though just so he won’t be dependent on me or tita or yaya for him to sleep. I would like that he learns to sleep on his own.

Yesterday, I had a chat with a office friend and mentioned to me that I can actually teach my baby to sleep through the night by himself. And so I googled “sleep through the night” and almost all of the articles available suggests a similar thing. I printed out a few and have Yaya Mich and Tita Badet read it and suggested that we should try it on the little man.

I tried that this morning for his nap, I laid him on the crib with his daffy duck. He was calm but was now wide awake on the first 5 minutes, after a while he was annoyed and started crying. Vierte’s not a cry baby so when he does people on the house panics a bit. Badet and I was in the room with him. When he cried I approached and rub his belly and hush him down but he just didn’t stop. I was heart broken hearing his cry so I gave in and got him out of his crib. He was still upset and cried a whole lot, but after I said sorry and promised that we sleep together for his nap he stopped and immediately slept in my arms.

Hay naku! Ewan if I get to do this. The articles emphasize not to give in on the baby’s crying but see I get hurt when I hear him cry..

hay….

Photoshoot at Blow-up Babies

Published by
during my pregnancy I so wanted to have a photoshoot but coy declined since we need to save and when we inquired at Blow-Up babies it was quite expensive.
Last December though I managed to get Coy’s approval and we headed to Gateway mall for the photoshoot. This is our first as a family and first for Vierte as well.
The shoot was really expensive that Coy commented this be done on a yearly basis only unless I get to find another studio who does the same thing at a lower cost. Initially I planned to take Vierte monthly but can’t kasi no extra money for it.
Anyway below are the photos that we had printed out.

this is the only shot out of the 10 taken of us three that Vierte faced the camera.

we had a hard time making him smile. He was annoyed with the camera flash so all we got was a grumpy and poker face.

oh well it still turned out good.

First Tummy Roll

Published by

One of vierte’s first caught on camera!

Well, its actually the 2nd successful tummy roll he did for the day. Bernadette and I was beside him in bed when he just rolled and viola he managed to do so without our help, im such a proud mama!

When I told Coy about this his reply was “Love, make sure you sorround Vierte with pillows, and make sure that he’s not left alone in bed.”

Message for Vierte

Published by

baby love,

For two days now you refuse to be put down and be carried by your yaya Michelle or tita Badet when Mommy’s around.

Tita Badet discovered this week that we can actually sleep as long as your head is lying on our arms and our lips on your forehead.

This morning, Mommy got worried cause you suddenly cried out loud while sleeping and you refuse to take your “nanan”, even rattle play didn’t work. Tumahimik ka lang when I hugged you real tight, your head resting on my shoulder. Mukhang all you need was to get the bad air out cause after that you gave us a sweet smile.

Mommy and Daddy love’s you.

When to start with solid food?

Published by

My mom ym’d Badet that we can now start giving Vierte solid food at 3 months (mashed potatoes, cereals, or fruits), and that she gave us during this stage as well.

Whenever we’re eating he give’s this look saying “How come you are not giving me some of what you are eating?” … nakakaaawa minsan

His lola bing gave him his first taste of ice cream at 1 month without my knowledge I only knew about it when my cousin Dougs called out my name reporting the incident from our room. He loved it! Every now and then he get to taste some fruit and vegies from her lola.

I’d like to start feeding him with mash vegetables or fruits.
