Mommy Moments: So Little

When Jacob was borne, he only weigh 4.3 lbs. He was so tiny for his age. The reason is that he was borne two months early (preemie). And so he stayed at NICU for a month just to gain weight; he had no medical condition that needs treatment or anything like that for that matter. So here are few of the photos taken three days after I delivered him on c-section. T'was our first time to see each other and my first time to hold him.

Here with the very happy and proud Dad :-).
And with his very proud first time grandparents. My share on this week's....

Jake Lost His First Tooth.

Jacob lost his first delicious tooth this morning. A week prior to that, he has been telling and showing us his loose tooth. Finally, when he woke up this morning, that tooth came out! He was very excited for whatever reason, lol. The thing is that we couldn't find it anywhere on the bed. It is probably somewhere on the floor in our bedroom. The tooth fairy on the other hand put a dollar under his bed the next morning, and Jake was very happy! One thing for sure, my son is growing so fast and I couldn't stop it. I want my baby boy back!

Mommy Moments: Jake's Fave Color

When Jacob was three year old, he used to like the green color. He even used one color when he was drawing and writing or scribbling.

Now, his favorite color is blue.What about your kid/s? Share it with us here on....

Missing Karate Lessons on Wednesdays

This day light saving time is not rally helping me nor Jake and his Dad at all. I prefer waking up still dark in the morning than taking my son to his karate lessons on a dark 6 o'clock evening. Yup, for the first time, Jacob missed his Wednesday lesson. Why? because I don't want to deal on heavy traffic that time...and I don't want to drive at night period. I also hate that hubby has to drive to work on a busy interstate with those crazy Texas drivers. But what can we do? He needs to work and all we can do is pray for his safety. Crazy drivers almost drove him off the road twice and that terrified me. Thank God, he is always protected and safe. Talking back on Jake's karate lesson, we are very excited for the coming exam/test in December. His instructors are busy teaching them steps and movements to prepare for that event, hopefully Jake, Seth, and Nicolas pass the test so their white belt would be replaced by an orange one. He is pretty excited....just the thought of getting new belt inspires him to listen and concentrate more to what his instructors have to say and do.

MM: Jakes Fave Shapes

This weeks theme for Mommy Moments is all about shapes. My son's (Jake) favorite shapes are circle and square. He loves to play ball games like basketball and baseball with friend and us. His loves for books tells me that he also like square. He loves to read books with me and by himself...and so we always go to the library to borrow books. This little guys will never sleep without reading books first. Blocks and Legos are his most fave toys.
