Lotsa Bumps, Lotsa FallsYou are always trying to stand up and love crawl-climbing the bed.
You also end up bumping your head lots of times now, or eager to get something, end up falling off the sofa bed or miscalculating your lunge.
You like trying to scare off your older brother by a scream.... or making properties and territories by screaming. Sometimes, when Kuya sees you going after his chair, he'd get it, and you'll start screaming at him with teeth clenched.
And yes, everything your Kuya is using, playing with, or just anything that's near him... you want.
You have lost most of your eppetite. Where before, we could fill your plate with food, now, we have to settle for a few bites here and there. I hope it's because you've been teething and has gotten sick a few times.
You tend to be surly, especially in the afternoon. But at night, you're usually a gleeful boy. And usually, you get fussy around the time a month ends/begins... fussy enough for me to put you sleep downstairs so we don't disturb your brother and father.
You are the apple of your grandfathers' eyes... they both say you're their favorite, and I think you know it.
You can be such a drama queen sometimes... typical of the baby in the family where you pretend to cry, or use crying as a weapon against your brother, or would wail for effect.
You really look a lot like me and Lolo Buboy... but I see a lot of Pyro in you too, esply with the gaps in your teeth.
You started standing by supporting yourself on your own before you turned 9 months. That had me surprised because I didn't expect you to try standing so soon.
When upset or happy, you babble "a-ti-ti-ti-ti" and would call out "mama" when you want me or feel needy.
Despite seeing you as competition, your Kuya still refuses to 'let others take you away' :)
I heard you wheeze while breathing today... and I'm sad. 3rd day into nebulizing you and I hear that... I don't want you to have asthma.

Yey... Yamee just gnawed his toe kanina. hehe.

*~*
cannot invoke "I just gave birth" as an excuse for all the flab anymore... 'coz Yamee is now six months old! :)
*~*
watching Yamee try to catch bubbles is an exercise in AMAZING :)
watching him try eating them... an exercise in futility :D
*~*
watching a baby scratch his head or pull his hair... adorable!
having him try and eat your hair... ewww!
*~*
In the midst of invoking will power that antihistamines will be enough for my allergy attack last night, Yamee learned to slam his face on the bed and giggle over that. My morbid thought was, "Heck, at least the brothers are amusing each other as I go."
I am just thankful this allergy attack was a mild and slow-acting one, puffed eyes and all.

The other day I was aghast to see Yakee hitting Yamee on the chest. When I asked him why he's angry, he said, "Yamee kicked me on the face." *oh gosh, start of my referee-ing days*
*~*
If it's really the end of the world at 6 PM today... one thing that I think will sadden me for sure is not having seen Yamee walk. Since the baby is my spitting image, I wanna see if he walks like a duck like me too :D

We are naturally attracted to power. Case in point: Yamee will start kicking and gurgling with excitement, sometimes even really crawl, for our drab-looking, gray-colored TV remote... but NR ever for his plushies and rattles.
*~*
I have been feeling it for a while now but it was only tonight that it finally erupted for some visual proof... Yamee has one tooth! Good luck nga lang seeing it for he guards it so well with his tongue :D
*~*
wanted to sleep but Yamee had udder plans...
*~*
One of the perks of being a sahm is waking up and being given that smile as if you're the most beautiful thing in the planet... everyday... I am missing it though because even before Yamee can smile at me that way, his Kuya has already dived and gigil-d him.
*~*
yakee put the ribbon on, pirate daw sya. i don't know how... haha. then yamee wanted the ribbon too.
lagot tayo kay pappie.. but at least, if we have a girl, hindi naman pala masagwa :D
*~*
while kissing Yamee's feet
Yakee: "Mmmm, the best brother in the world Mommy"
super tender moment sana if he didn't also just wake the best brother :D
*~*
It's bittersweet that you are now 7 months old.. where has our baby gone? But we love you and we just know it, you'll learn to talk earlier than you'll walk :D
*~*
Amazing to see Yamee already knowing how to hide in my arms when he's playing with Yakee. But nothing is more amazing than waking up together, the three of us, and smiling as I watch the brothers turn to each other to grin at each other. *bliss*
*~*
My son is trying to exert ownership and it's cute... but sorry darling Yamee, the bike ain't yours. The guitar too. And all remotes are mine :p
*~*
ang prob na lang.... we went so organic, you don't like jarred baby food... argh
*~*
Is really wondering how Yamee can grind his teeth, when he only has two teeth in his lower gums and they're just sprouting pa lang. I can't help but wince whenever I hear his grinding noises eh. Sus.
*~*
These days always find Yamee gleeful, like a pirate over stolen treasure, over some forbidden something he's managed to grab or crawl to. Heaven help me, I have another typical boy. *when he woke up, he turned to Yakee and babbled, "Ey, kh-ya"*

Train your baby to master crawling... set him after an ant :)
Labyu, demanding Yamee!
*~*
This week... I have to bring Yamee for an allergy consult; attend my first PTA meeting; celebrate that our bunso is 9 months old already; finalize HK IT and lists; support LATCH at the All About Baby Fair.. and hopefully buy more Eden stuff (right Jojo?) :D
Put this way... I am reminded again of how blessed I am.
*~*
Yamee on a walker means a lot of things crashing on the floor... and a very stressed Yakee over his toys.
*~*
... only 3 more months and it's your birthday already baby... and Mommy still hasn't done anything for it! Meanwhile, thank you for letting us all sleep last night, eventhoough you had a bad cold too. Love you
*~*
Pedia ok'd ice cream for the wee one... for his teething woes :D Guess who's eating ice cream though...
*~*
After caring for Yakee to get better... Yamee naman. Just told hubs I really don't want a 3rd child na 'coz we're a bad, allergic combination. *exhausted mode*
