18 Reasons Why I Love En

Walang halong etchos #18: En is child at heart. maharot. makulit. masayahin. madaling kausap. ayaw kung ayaw. yes kung yes. direct to the point. di marunong mambola. di rin marunong magsinungaling (o magaling lang ako manghuli?). walang arte sa katawan. di mahirap i-please. cowboy. maloko. bugoy to be exact.

Jana: the 16th Month

• weighs 9.8 kilos
• nagsuka 8x and then i lost count. hinang-hina na. even my breastmilk, her stomach was refusing. we're afraid she'd dehydrate. we went to the doctor. she advised us to monitor her condition, bring her to the hospital if she gets worse. we passed by a jollibee drive-thru and decided to buy us dinner. bumangon bigla ang bata. tinungga ang iced tea. humiga at natulog ulit. dyan po nagtatapos ang suka moments. kinabukasan, maligalig na ulit. walang bakas ng madilim na nakaraan.
• Bago maglagalag sa kwarto o sala, sinusuutan ng tsinelas/sapatos. Di sya pumapalag. Very good anak.
• sanay kumain sa high chair. walang pag-asang masanay sa car seat.
• kumukuha ng damit sa hamper, sasabihin nya kung sa mommy or daddy yun (based siguro sa amoy?)
• kukunin tsinelas mo at ipapasuot sayo pag nakitang nakapaa ka
• pinapainom ng dede/juice mga stuffed toys nya
• first words: Daddy, up, baba (down), di (dora), dede, Ji (jollibee), shoes, light

sips from her sippy cup with straw.
loves apple juice and daddy's chopsuey.

ganito kumain ng pancake

di na kelangan mag-syrup

kawawang reindeer. walang laban yan anak.

kusang umiinom ng vitamins

"baka makasuhan ako, child labor. bitawan mo yan anak."

bored na.

maglilinis na lang ako ng sarili kong ilong, mama.

our typical weekend

Jana, ang batang may-sakit

Jana is suffering from runny nose, sticky phlegm, and high fever (39.7). Thus the watery eyes.



This shot was taken this morning. Recently, she's imposing her freedom by sleeping on this Dora sofabed. No, she doesn't want to sleep beside her parents anymore =(



Ilan ba daliri ko... teka...


Stretching.


Nagda-dive. Aatakehin ako talaga sa puso.

She also found her little hideaway. En fixed this little corner and hanged some of her items. Pag di mo mahanap si Jana, asahan mo andito sya....


Naglalaro (or kumakain ng natuklap na pintura. Anaaaaaak! GRRR!)


Kausap nya tatay nya dito.
