emma may be teething…

Teething usually starts during the sixth or seventh month (resulting in a front/bottom tooth) but can start as early as 2 months and as late as 12 months. Most babies cut four new teeth every four months until all 20 primary teeth have come in at around age 2-1/2.Signals that your babys cutting teethSuspect teething when you notice one or more of these symptoms:Drooling A chin or facial rash A cough due to excess saliva Biting to help relieve pressure Refusal to eat Diarrhea A low-grade fever Wakefulness Redness in the gums Ear pulling or cheek rubbing Irritability The remedies are simple. You can gently rub babys gums with your fingers or give your baby something to chew on, preferably something cold, such as a firm-rubber teething ring. Cold drinks and cold food also are helpful. And when his discomfort is at its worst, an infant dose of acetaminophen at bedtime may help him sleep.

her first laugh

a laugh… last night, perze called me to hurry to the room where he was playing with Emma. Little did I know that I was in for one of her cute milestones. When I got there, Emma was standing on Perze’s tummy – laughing. I don’t know how Perze did it, but he was making her laugh along with him. I melted. This is how it feels when you hear your baby laughs for the first time: it’s like… getting your diploma at graduation knowing your class was cancelled for the rest of the week hearing someone you love say i love you for the first time getting an A on a test you didn’t study for receiving a present even when it’s not your birthday or christmas, or presidents day her laugh was so simple, but it was so exciting and moving at the same time. it’s so funny how a tiny baby who has no intention of evoking your emotion can make you feel so squishy inside.

chris tomlin, matt redman, louie giglio concert

chris tomlin, matt redman, louie giglio concert tour they came to my highschool i know that these men are making their mark in this generation and hopefully even in emma’s generation. it inspires me thinking that God will continue to use them, mold them, and even refine their ministry to expand and encourage God’s kingdom, to bring His children back to His throne, facedown to worship. It felt awesome on saturday that I was able to be part of that, and to partake of what God is showing to His children through his servants. one of the sweetest things that saturday was knowing that my siblings were there…My brother fred, my sisters Steph and Kristie, and my Kuya Sam. I know my older siblings haven’t attended a passion concert before, so i was more excited for them. Matt Redman and Chris Tomlin are really blessed vessels, but that night, I was thankful of hearing Louie Giglio. His insight, logical patterns, and discernment to reach young people were so encouraging, and He continues to bring back God’s message of His holiness and magnanimity. I’ve been reading his books and listening to his sermons and it colors in pictures that i’ve already […]

weekend

We went home for a 3 day weekend because I had to conduct some personal business which would probably enable us to move back in south jersey permanently, with emphasis on the word probably. I got the chance to show Emma to my parents via yahoo webcam over the net. after 6 long years they finally found a provider that would grant them internet access. It’s still a little bit pricey compared to here and it’s just a 56kbps line, but who cares, as long as they are able to get in and get the chance to see their grandchild grow up without them or so to speak. Emma’s getting bigger and bigger everytime I look at her (my wife is getting smaller and smaller ). And it seems that time has really passed by so quickly. It seemed just moments ago when I told marchesa that I liked her in that infamously muddled e-mail … right Rogie? ha ha ha. Now, we have a three month old daughter that tries so hard to talk to you in coos and goos. I couldv’e sworn that I heard her say “Lola” and “Nene” yesterday. That would make my mom happy. Here […]
