MellowYellowBadge

It is my first time to join Mellow Yellow Monday Meme.

Here is my cute niece Otep wearing his mickey mouse hat.

super baby boy

Baby josh and daddy having a good time together. They were playing and flying like superman. Seeing them together so happy with their smiles and laughter’s on their face makes me realize how lucky i am to have a loving and merry family. i think josh will have a sunny personality because every time he wakes up he smiles like a beautiful angel.  he also loves when you talk to him, he will respond with his cooing words. He can now flip over on his own. Last Sunday we celebrated his 4th month birthday, we bought cake and gave him a little bit. hehe. And since it was his birthday he also went to Chicago for 2010 Chicago Auto Show.

family conversation

after dinner joanne carried baby josh and when he started crying, he ask vlad to make milk for josh:

Ate joanne: could you please make milk for baby josh

Kuya vlad: after he put the Up & Up bottle liner in baby josh Playtex bottle then he poured the Enfamil milk and water

Kuya vlad: where is the baby spoon? LOL

Pre-Thanksgiving

It is raining today. I went to Dupage County Health Department in Lombard to pick up Joshua’s WIC card. We did not wait that long. We stayed there for only 20 minutes and then were done. Finally, I got his WIC card after two times of trying picking up his card. First was when I forgot to bring his proof of birth like his foot prints, birth certificate or hospital discharge papers. I applied a copy of his birth certificate and I have not receive it yet. So, they made another appointment and they said I just have to bring proof of birth and then I can get the card. So I went again, I had his papers already but I was late for more than two hours. My appointment was 8:15 AM but I arrived at 10:30 AM. The receptionist said they cannot accommodate me anymore because they only have the two Dieticians so she had to reschedule me. I am glad it is over I had his WIC card and I can now buy his Enfamil Lipil formula.

At home, Vlad and Jed are cooking for our pre-Thanksgiving celebration tonight. I think they are cooking maple roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, spaghetti, brownies, rice krispies treats etc. This is would be baby Josh first Thanksgiving. The Fajardos and Centeno family are coming over to join us for dinner. Vlad will have work tomorrow that is why we are celebrating our Thanksgiving today.

WIC card for Josh

It’s been quite a while since the last time I post anything on this blog. As much as I want to update my blogs I cannot because I have a baby to take care of. I just gave birth last month and I spent most of my time with him. Good thing I am not experiencing baby blues. My only problem is not having enough sleep. But it is ok I can manage. I try to get some sleep every time he is asleep. Yesterday, we went to Lombard to apply a WIC card for him. WIC or Women, Infant and Children, is a special supplemental nutritional program for low-income women and children. The program provides food checks to pregnant women, nursing mothers and children under age five. On Friday morning I will need to go back to pick up his food checks. Afterward, we will go to Valle Produce to buy meat and grocery.

After his class, HB played tennis with his brother. We met a Filipino couple and so they played doubles. While they’re playing I walked around the park and took some pictures so that I have something to post in my blog. I saw a lot of teenagers in the area. They’re playing basketball and biking, while others chatting with their friends in the play ground. The weather was good that day. After the game, we went to Wendy’s to have snacks and then we went home.

Royal Buffet

We went shopping at Nordstrom mall. I was able to buy some personal things. I got a new love pink travelling bag from Victoria Secret. Weng and I will go to New Orleans tomorrow. He has seminar to attend and I am so happy that I will be going with him. After shopping, we went to Royal Buffet with my family; Auntie Auring, Auntie Tess, Uncle Alex and the two kids. Gosh! There’s a lot of food and I don’t what to pick. lol.

Meeting with my relatives

It is my first day here in the USA. I went to Ate Bernadette house to meet my relatives. It’s a nice feeling to see my Auntie Tess and Auntie Auring. I have not seen Tita Tess for almost 5 years. I also meet Ate Bernadette family, Kuya Joe and her two kids AJ and Jasmine. AJ is 4 years old and he is smart kid while the beautiful jasmine is so sweet and cute like Chinese baby doll.

Hello USA! Here I come

Weng and I woke up early to make sure not to miss our flight, NWA – 8AM. We arrived at the NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport) around 5:30am. I am so happy because it is our first time to be together in the same flight. Our POE will be Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport. After that we waited almost an hour for our next flight to Chicago- Ohare. Finally, at the airport I was able to meet Mang Art and Mrs V, my future ninong and ninang =). The weather was a little bit cold so I have to wear my jacket. If you will ask me what my first impression is? Like what other people says; its beautiful, the weather is great and the environment is so cool. It is so clean and there are a lot of trees. It’s far different from Manila. Its very convenient, it’s like you have everything here. And the people are all very friendly, they will smile at you and i can always hear them saying “excuse me and sorry”. I think I will love this place. I just hope my stay here will be ok. Yeah I hope everything will be ok. We had our dinner at Mang Art place. From there I meet Weng’s daughter and son, Joanne and Jed. After dinner we went to Weng’s house and had some rest.
