Yup! We dedicated you to the Lord last Saturday, Nov. 26th, 2011. Your granddad, grandmamang, Tita Amore, Tita Maemae, Kuya Aschy, and Ate AD were all here. I should post a picture so I don't have to enumerate everyone who made it. Well, you have a lot of Ninangs and Ninongs but only a few were able to come. The only one who lives quite farther away that came was your Ninang Jean. Oh well, basta, you looked so adorable in your little barong, a gift from Ninang Cecile. You got so tired during the long ceremony that when it was already time for pictorial, you dozed off. The songs I chose were sang beautifully by your ninangs Malu and Sharon and Cristy and our Kumpare Norman and his friend Junior Banig.
Your lola and lolo and the rest left last Sunday night. Tita Amore stayed though.
Today, you are exactly four months and you did something amazing. I lay you down on your back with your head on the groove of your special pillow and I went back working on my computer as I was trying to finish the brochure that we are going to use for our booth in Manila. After a few minutes, I heard you making strange noises, and something keeps banging at the side of your crib. I put away my computer and sat up and lo and behold, your feet are on the pillows and you are hitting your head on the footpart of your crib. Goodness, you turned 180 degrees! I scolded you and you looked up at me with your toothless grin.... so adorable!

to manila and back
The past week has been fun and tiring at the same time. We left for Manila on Sunday morning. Scarlett behaved really good, we didn't have any major mishaps along the way. We drove via SCTEX where we ate lunch at Kenny Rogers. I missed KR food a lot. :)
We finally got to SIL GH after a few wrong turns but your dad managed to find our way. That afternoon, we rode a taxi to SM North to meet your tita mai and tito dave and ate AD. We had dinner at The President but you went fussy and weepy the moment you woke up. The food was great! It should be, as it was so expensive! Hehe! So my focus turned from the food to trying to get you to settle but you won't have any of it. I tried to nurse you but you scratched at me instead so I asked papa to go get you a pacifier. He found a grocery many floors down and we washed your pacifier with tea, stuck it on your mouth and you went all quiet. But after a few minutes, you started to fuss again so I know you must have been so tired. When we got home to the GH you cried like something hurts and you only stopped when I laid you down, applied some lotion on your tummy and massaged it. We slept in one single bed and papa slept in another opposite us.
In the morning, we went to the dining hall for breakfast. You met Donna & Ron Schumacher for the first time. Tita Marilou came to sit with you. You also met Ninang Lani, Sue & Ian McQuay and others. Mama had her meeting but she had to come feed you every one and a half hour. The meeting went on and on but we finished at 5PM. Your cousins and Titas and Titos came and we ordered pizza, lots of it, and we ate at the poolside.
The next day, I bathe you on a faucet, that was hard. :) Then we got into a taxi to the Greenhills shopping center. We were supposed to buy you a suit for your dedication but you are so heavy, it was a challenge getting around kaya umuwi na lang tayo. Kinaumagahan, umuwi na tayo pero si Papa, nag-experiment pa kase kaya nagkandaligawligaw tayo sa Blumentritt bago pa tyao nakalabas sa NLEX. Dumating tayo sa bahay ng mga 1pm after 7 hours of travel. :) Over-all you are such a good baby sa travelling, di ka masyadong maarte at fussy.
