On My Baby Naknak's 3rd Month =)

Marky's now three months old, circa yesterday. =) So, how's he now? Here's an update....

>> He's now REALLY noisier. As in. He makes "daldal" with everybody now, whether it's Mommy, Daddy, or his Titos, Titas, and Lola. He tries to mimic the sounds he hear (I even heard him once saying "Okay, okay," and "Opo, opo."). I'm not sure, though, if these already mean anything, but with his actions, I can tell that he sort of wants to say something but he just, well, makes up any sound he can do so that we'll know he needs something. And whenever his Mommy and his Daddy sings, he sort of sings along, too. He says, "Ah, aah... aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh" whenever we sing. =) Hahaha. It's really very funny.

>> He's grown to be REALLY, REALLY playful now, to the point that at times, we just couldn't catch up. He's got an awful lot of energy, and he always wants play, play, play!!! While he's playing or in the mood to play, you can't stop him even if it's for milk. You have to wait for him to get tired. And once he's tired (it usually takes about three hours of play now before he gets tired. Sheesh), he'll cry for someone to give him milk or to carry him, and then, he falls asleep.

>> He loves music and dance. He loves listening to music, and he loves seeing people dance. So, if you really want to make him smile, you gotta do those crazy moves in front of him. He'll laugh even. Never mind if we do look funny and crazy. Those little smiles and laughter would definitely be enough for a compensation.

>> Aside from milk, he also sips on bananas and mashed potatoes now. But that's just because we want to see if he can now take on a bit of solid food, since he's now notoriously chewing on his bottle's nipple. But of course, he can't eat the whole thing just yet. He just sips and chews on some, then Mommy eats the rest.

>> His neck and back are now more stable, and he no longer wants "baby carry" now. He wants to be carried with an upright position, or on his belly, so he could "fly fly."

Oh yes, that's Marky now. And I and Daddy really need to take vitamin supplements now to keep up to his energy. Hehe. Soon, we'll be making "lakwatsa" with him as well. =)

God, please continue to be with him. And thank You for everything. =)

Thank You, Pond's! (lol)

Pond's skincare products are really a godsend. =) I first got hold of one during a tour at SM Fairview... there's some booth there where the staff's giving away free sachets of their Pinkish White face cream... Mom and I got three each... and when I tried it, I ended up asking for Mom to give me her three sachets, too. =) They really work, and the great thing about them is that they're, so far, the most inexpensive of all the reliable skin care brands in the market these days (as per my observation). Soon, I discovered the lotion variant, and it works just as great, and it is friendly for those who have dry or combination dry and oily skin. =)

Lately though, Pond's Pinkish White Lotion got sold out in our local drugstore. So, the saleslady just gave me the Spotless White variant. I had doubts, but I tried it anyway since my skin's already badly in need of skincare. =p During the first few days, I sort of got disappointed because I thought it just made my face oilier. But soon after, I really noticed a change and a drastic improvement in my skin. It really clears out dark spots, and it made my skin a lot lighter because of that. I like that it's actually also a moisturizer and a sunblock in one. So now, my guiding principle for buying my next Pond's product is, whichever will fit my budget! =) Because, anyway, whatever it is, I now trust that it's going to work. =)

There's a Pond's product for everybody. Yes, even for the guys, although it's not really indicated (I just said so because I once had guy classmates and officemates who are fond of using Pond's facial wash). =) If you want to know what's yours, you can check out this site. My result? Yep, the products that I am already using. =)

Thank you, Pond's! =)
