It was Adie’s first birthday yesterday. It was snowing all day, but that didn’t stop friends from coming over to celebrate with us.
It was a fun night with the girlfriends yet crazy as well coz the kids (though they were only three), caused a lot of riot. They opened Adie’s gift, they were fighting over the toys, and they were even crying coz they also wanted to blow the birthday candle. But the birthday boy was cool over it and didn’t mind the competition at all.
Adie got lots of clothes, and few toys, thanks to her beautiful titas. At his age, he still doesn’t know what he wants. When he’s big, he might request for a bike, iphone, rustic furniture or scooter.
Big sis Caity was too quick to open the gift before Adie can even get to it. Hahaha
Caity with Nikki tearing the gift wrapper. But where is the birthday boy?
Again, where’s Adie? hahaha So hilarious!
This morning when I looked at the pictures from our camera, and that from our friends’, I found out that Adie doesn’t even have a decent picture of his special day. So I put on his birthday clothes and set him up in front of his birthday banner and took lots of pics. With just me and him, the pictorial went well. That’s the first pic posted above. Shhh It’s a secret between you and me, ok?
This little boy will turn 1 next week already! My baby is going to be a toddler!
He’s a fast walker, almost running. Even if I put him at the end of the room, he still catches up with me. Whew! It’s funny when I move around the house, he follows me like a shadow. Sometimes when I open the door to a room, he goes inside before I do! One time M went to the hallway to get something then came back in and closed the door. He didn’t notice that little Adie went there too. So the little boy was left behind in the hallway. hehehe
a little trivia:
When Adie was 6 months old, he has the same weight as when Caity was 12 months.
Adie’s 10 months weight = Caity’s 18 months weight.
He’s really big compared to Caity. I don’t know where to took that from. I am small and not fat (ehehehe), even if I keep mentioning about best diet pills. Maybe he got it from M’s side. The guys from their side are tall. One friend calls Adie a giant baby. hehehe Someday, he will be towering over me na! Yikes!
Yipeee! I’ve mentioned before that the little boy had walked twice already but I wasn’t able to record it. Yesterday, he walked again in many steps. I then had the idea of drilling him to walk, until he gets confident in himself. I’d let him stand beside the sofa so he can hold unto it, then I’d call him to me. He’d walk towards me still holding on until he lets go and starts taking few steps on his own. I did this many times and since yesterday, he has been walking a lot!
He’s getting the hang of walking yet. Sometimes he still crawls but I can say that he’s walking like 70-80% already. At 10 months, it is quite advance.
So this was yesterday:
And this was earlier in the morning:
He is improving!
So now I should be worried coz once he masters the art of walking, he will conquer a wider territory and will be able to reach more things. Pretty soon I will be seeing him run around the house. Running after him won’t be such a bad idea. It is a good exercise for the heart and for the body. Yeah! I’m feeling conscious about body weight after reading lipofuze reviews in the internet today. teehee! Anyway, I am really happy with my little boy’s development. I am looking forward for more surprises to come!
The little crawler is fond of going under the tables and other small, tight spaces. Even if I put boxes to block him from crawling under, he still finds a way to go through the barrier. I get exhausted picking him up and putting him to the open space, only to find him crawling back when I’m not looking. Whew!
I’ve made a slideshow to share with you what the little boy has been doing.
It can be amusing and cute, but when I have to do other things, it isn’t funny at all Adie! Well at least I won’t be needing compression stockings with all the running around I’m doing with this little fellow. I know this is nothing, compared to the time when he starts to walk! Ayayay!
Ever heard of the Christmas song that goes “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth…“? Well, maybe my baby Adie had the same wish too coz his second front tooth has already come out, and it’s not even Christmas yet.
He made six steps again today, but unfortunately I didn’t get to record it! huhuhu! I hope next time I’ll be lucky!
In the past days, the little boy’s development is surprising! Last Tuesday, he already made his first four steps! It happened so fast, I didn’t even expect it would happen. I was holding his hands while he was standing and I slowly let go of his hands, and he took two steps forward! Then he stopped, gained his balance again and took two more steps! Then he fell on the floor on his butt. Whew!
Yesterday, he also surprised me when he climbed up the sofa bed and unto his dad’s PC table. Yay! His movements are quick, he even successfully grabbed the battery lying on the table. Can’t stay in this PC room for long coz he might climb on the bed again while I browse the net for the latest in fashion or home remedy for acne, etc.
Baby A was grinding his teeth lot the other day again.. checked him out, and found two more (upper) teeth growing simultaneously. He’s got a total of five teeth! Although the process can be annoying for him, I am excited with this development coz it means he will be able to nibble fruits, crackers and other solid food soon. This will give me many options when it comes to feeding him. I’m sure he will also appreciate tasting different flavors. As of now, he can only munch on bananas and crackers that melt in his saliva. hehe
OMG! Adie is already 10 months old! This is what I mean about children growing fast! He’s with me 24/7 and I still feel like I’ve been with him shorter than that. It’s like he’s growing heaps when I am asleep.
I don’t know why he’s a chubby baby. Caity was then a slender baby which we assumed was caused by her being active, but baby Adie is super active too yet he’s more meaty. He actually looks cute being chubby and with cheeks that almost seem to fall off his face. haha
It’s not something to be alarmed though. I have known many children who were fat when they were still young. It made their parents worried that they’ll gonna be fat until they get older but somewhere along the way, they lose those fats and end up having normal weight. Usually when kids reach adolescent stage, they get conscious about their looks so they themselves make an effort to lose weight. They are yet young at that age to use the best weight loss supplement, but by curbing their food appetite and getting into sports can help solve their weight problems.
Anyway, here’s a comparison of Caity and Adie at 10 months old:
Caity girlwhen she turned 10 months old…
Adie boy whom his dad lovingly calls “buřt” (which means sausage).
Adie is growing his third teeth! I found out only today coz I noticed that he was drooling a lot and was grinding his teeth. I thought, maybe he has a new tooth. My suspicion was true when I ran my fingers in his gums and felt a sharp thing growing out from it.
It’s a relief that he doesn’t have a fever like with his previous teeth but it might be causing him discomfort cause he is still awake at this late time and still so active! Usually he should have been in deep sleep. Oh well, it seems we won’t be having a good night’s rest as well for the nights to come.
I’m waiting till he gets very sleepy while reading on ephedrine diet pills and while M watches Big Bang Theory with little Adie sitting on his lap. At least, the little dude isn’t cranky and just sits there comfortably.
Baby Adie is catching attention anywhere he goes! He makes people smile (even guys) with his own adorable smile. Just one look at him and he can make you melt! hehehe Mama is exaggerating! Beware of his smile!
This was when he was finally able to sit on his own.
On our stop over in Korea airport.
Chubby, chubby! His legs and arms are more meaty than Caity! He can be a good model for baby’s milk or food. Heehehe How do you like being a model when you grow up little Adie? Or would you rather be a doctor, or deal with accounting jobs? Who knows you’d end up like your dad, a computer geek.
For now, this little guy enjoys standing on his crib, observing his surroundings. He is drooling a lot too! Maybe he is teething. He likes grabbing anything and putting it in his mouth.
Oh my! He’ll be 8 months next week! I can’t believe it! He’s growing so, so fast!
Shhh It’s a secret between you and me, ok?
