Half a Year of FB Status Msgs

Woke up early and tried to go back to sleep, eh tinatandayan ako ni bunso, so bumangon na lang ako. Makapag Speculous Cookie Butter na nga lang, di ba Sancha?

*~*~*

Ang tanong... Nasan na lahat ng ID lace for these? Haha. 

*~*~*

Pappie Jojo is home... Labeeeetttttt

You know you're a breastfeeding success when
1) Your child gets sick, and your husband still thinks to thank you and God that you're breastfeeding said child... because he knows said child is being protected and will likely recover faster;
2) Your husband does not suggest formula or whatever vitamins when people comment on how lean your children are... for he knows the value of what your children actually ingests;
3) Your husband encourages people he deals with, a preggy woman or expecting dad, to contact his wife for breastfeeding information and support; and
4) Your husband has attended breastfeeding seminars (and is even aware of the Milk Code) and will even sometimes correct you or prompt you when you're trying to teach a bunch of new moms how to breastfeed properly

I really would not have succeeded in my breastfeeding journey (going on 6 years now!) if not for the great love and support of hubby Jojo (who even called L.A.T.C.H.to register for our first ‎#breastfeedingph talk). He definitely knew‎#BestStartsWithDad meant being there for me, cheering me on and believing in what God/Nature has provided... I am so lucky, so blessed and so grateful.

Happy father's Day to the crazy father of my two sons... thank you for believing that the best starts for our kiddos are the same as Best Starts with Dad.

Wooden blocks richer... How long kaya before they start throwing one at each other...

Or worse... At us, Pappie Jojo? Hehe

*~*~*

What a privilege... Watching your grandchildren play.

Hopefully Pappie Jojo... We get to enjoy the same, and not because our kids will be dads in their teens. Hehe.

Mahal Mec ano ba naman ang anak mo, pumunta lang ako sa kabilang bahay, nahuli ko nang naghahalungkat sa baonan! Sana di makita ni Momsie Sonia ito, baka maisip niyang bilihan ng bilihan ng kung ano ano si Yamyoy! — with Bbee Kkhaa and5 others.

*~*~*

Yakee: Mommy, just read to me from the tablet ok?
Me: Are you sure? Don't you wan the tablet to just read to you?
Yakee: No... Read to me from the tablet. It's because I want to hear your sweet voice ok?
(Hubs is asleep na... When he reads this, he'd wonder again how our sons could love my singing voice... But not his... Me being tone deaf... Haha... True devotion from sons lang!)

*~*~*

Hayst.... Letter H na naman kami in bed, with Pappie Jojo and I precariously perched on our respective sides' edge.

*~*~*

Awww... Perstaym that Yamee said "i love mama" and "i love papa"

Prompted by raisinets... But still.. Awww

*~*~*

This was the first ever Mother's Day gift I received... As a pregnant woman some six years ago.

I find it really nice that the boys actually fight over this book which was intended to help me mother them...

Thanks again Pappie Jojo

*~*~*

Just got home from super sulit, super sayang Aerosmith concert.

Steven Tyler was crazy amazing... Even if they didn't perform those songs.

I am such a Mom though... Couldn't wait to go home to my boys.

*~*~*

The boys love listening to Akon... Singing a Hindi song (Chammak Chalo). Haha. Maybe we were Indians in our previous lives that's why we're so into Bollywood. 

*~*~*

Hubs and I were late in joining The Voice fans so we were doing a marathoner last night of Season 4.

Me (kasi clueless nga): Sino'ng previous The Voice winner ang sikat?

Pappie Jojo (without skipping a beat): Yung ano, dating asawa ni Lorna.

Kaines!

*~*~*

So glad that bunso is starting to talk more, I just need a dictionary were i can look up that "babus" means "bubbles"! — (Pappie)

*~*~*

10 minutes into their first day of vacation and the boys already had a pet bird (Flapper). They played with at least 3 different kinds of crabs (caught some too), played with bugs (Goggles was a huge beetle), chased frogs, helped light bonfires, toasted marshmallows, swam everyday and rolled in sand for an entire week.

It would have been a very Waldorf holiday if they didn't end up killing the bird and crabs. Hehe.

*~*~*

My tweet to Pappie Jojo yesterday:
"wahaha, I don't follow you here pala. Now lang"

His reply:
"bwahaha, ok lang, I don't follow you din"

My... Aren't we sweet? Haha

*~*~*

And I can't get the smile out of my face after discovering that bunso has learned to paddle board on his own and insisted to carry the paddleboard back to the house... I am truly blessed and happy, thanks Mommy Sonia and Daddy Ruben for a wonderful place to vacation in!!! — with Mec Camitan Arevalo at The Best Beach House in Gasan, Marinduque.

*~*~*

I have panganay thanking me for a wonderful day 1 and kissing me goodnight for a wonderful movie (after watching a video of Ironman)... Now I am vacationing in paradise!!! — with Mec Camitan Arevalo at The Best Beach House in Gasan, Marinduque.

*~*~*

Yan ang epekto sa mga bata ng 12:30am na Roro ride pa Marinduque — with Mec Camitan Arevalo at Dalahican Lucena City.

*~*~*

Pappie Jojo... Yakee says you three are my 3 idiots, and he's Rancho daw. Sino ka?

*~*~*

Can't say yet if it was a bargain at P1900 at the scholastic sale but we're already at ladder 12 (2 sessions, maybe 30 mins total). The boys love the tiles and Yakee has been spelling other words using them... It's cute.

A sitting down alternative to our jumping spelling ek.

*~*~*

Crazy met crazier  Right, Pappie Jojo? 

*~*~*

13 years ago tomorrow (posting now lest I forget), Pappie Jojo and I met online (exact details might embarrass relatives and will definitely tickle friends)... 

Just goes to show... God's plans are more perfect and He thinks long-term. 

The best is yet to come!

*~*~*

mahal, alagaan mo naman mga anak natin... He looks doogs, doogs, doogs, doogs...

*~*~*

Valentines... Always a good excuse for Pappie Jojo to come home bearing flowers.

Love it! And of course, I love the giver to bits.

*~*~*

The whole family went to the dentist for a cleaning and checkup. So proud of the two tykes. The dentist commented that kuya is part of the 2-3% of children with very healthy teeth that he seldom sees. While for bunso, the dentist had started setting our expectation that we might just end up trying to see of he would sit on the dentist chair, the most see if he would open his mouth (given that it was bunso's first dentist check). To his surprise bunso was the one who sat himself on the chair, and he even got to clean Yamee's teeth! Good Job Kids!

*~*~*

I guess its becoming our yearly tradition, I'm with panganay watching the Chinese New Year countdown, can't wait to have bunso tag along!!!

Pinabaunan ko ang mahal kong asawa ng tutong na kanin, kasi walang kakain.

Umuwi syang may dalang J.co donuts.

Padalhan ko kaya ng sunog na kanin bukas...
