Nickelodeon StoryTime Live in Illinois

If you’re mom and your kids like watching NickJr., bring your kids to four adventures in one amazing show. The Nickelodeon presents StoryTime Live, musical show featuring “Dora the Explorer,” “The Backyardigans,” “Ni Hao, Kai-lan,” and “Wonder Pets!”. Yes, the top-rated preschool show will be coming here in Illinois and it will be hosted by Moose adn Zee. I want to watch the show and bring my baby but I don’t think he will enjoy it since he still too young and doesn’t understand what’s going on around him. Maybe I could ask my cousin and will bring my nephew and niece. I know for sure that they will enjoy the show.

Ni Hao, Kai-lan
Kai-lan and her friends meet their favorite superhero, The Monkey King, and agree to help bring all the pandas to his Panda Party. Join the happy celebration at the Monkey King’s castle.

The Backyardigans
Mayor Stinkypants (Austin) has forced the dirty townspeople (Tasha, Tyrone and Uniqua) to take part in the annual Festival of Dirt. Journey through Purewood Forest, as Robin Hood the Clean (Pablo) helps clean up the village of Filthingham.

Wonder Pets
What’s gonna work? TEAMWORK! Hop into Wonderland with Wonder Pets, as they gather Ollie, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and The Queen of Hearts for a special celebration.

Dora the Explorer

baby josh bath time

Baby josh just took a warm bath. To keep him clean and smell good I used Aveeno body wash. You can use the Aveeno body wash everyday, it is made from natural oat extract, tear-free and hypoallergenic wash. It leaves your baby skin without drying. The fragrance is mild and it is gentle for baby’s skin. He loves the water.  I am no problem giving him a bath because he always smile and giggle. Sometimes I gave him baby mini massage and it seems he is enjoying it. His dad likes massage too. =)

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

Last Sunday after church we went to my husband’s relatives in Tinley Park to get my baby’s milk. From time to time Manang Naneth is giving us supply of Enfamil Premium milk. Her sister Manang Brenda is a pediatrician so she has bundles of milk on her office from her supplier. I am giving him formula because my breast milk is not enough for him.  And to increase my breast milk supply I used breast pump and i drink a lot of water and juice. I am thankful that we have relatives that giving us milk supply and that save us our money to buy different things like his diapers and wipes. Just last week we bought two boxes of Pampers and it costs us more than 60 dollars. Good thing we have 10% discount because of Joan is working in Target as pharmacy tech.

Since we were already there, we watched National Football League: Super Bowl XLIV. yay! the New Orleans Saints won the game. Josh received a gift from Nathan and Railey and it is a Leap frog “My Pal Scout”. It is a cute green dog. For the first time he received a different toy because usually he gets a frog toys. hehe.

nap time

I cannot believe my baby is almost four months now. I took these pictures when we were about to go to church last Sunday. Yeah! my baby goes to church every Sunday but usually he is asleep throughout the service. hehe. Last night he was trying to roll over but he can only do it half way. I noticed that he does not like drinking much milk anymore. That is why I think if I should start introducing him to solid foods like cereal but my hubby said it is too early. Or maybe use different brand of formula. Right now we are using Enfamil milk and breast milk. Though when we tried to give him apple juice or orange juice he seems to like it. My baby also loves to stand up while being held on my lap, he has strong little leg muscles. hehe. I have to put bib on him because he drools a lot and sometimes I have to change his clothes three or four times in a day.I do not know if its true or not but I trimmed my baby eyelashes to make it longer and thicker. hehe.


1st christmas gifts

This blog is intended about motherhood or a mommy blog. I started it when I got pregnant. It is my first baby and I hoped that I could blog here about my pregnancy. But I was not able to do that because I have been busy with my other blogs. I neglected to write the important things about my pregnancy like my first check up, baby shower etc. Now, I hope I could write here more often so my baby could read this when he gets older and able to read.

On the other hand I would like to post about the gifts that baby josh received last Christmas. Below is the picture of the gifts he received from relatives and friends.

how to do kegels

Have you heard about kegel? It is actually a floor pelvic exercise. This exercise is recommended especially for pregnant women to prepare them for vaginal childbirth. My friend Dulce advised me to practice this exercise because it will help you ease from delivery and recover after the labor.. Doing kegel helps improve the muscle tone by strengthening the pubococcygeus muscles of the pelvic floor. Other benefits that you get from kegel exercise are:

  • treat vaginal prolapse
  • prevent uteriine prolapse
  • treat prostate pain nd swelling resulting from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
  • treat prostatitis in men
  • increase sexual gratification

Here’s how to do a Kegel:

1. Exhale and tighten the muscles in the walls of your vagina, as if trying to stop urination.
2. Count to 3 and inhale as you relax.
3. Repeat for a total of 5 repetitions. Do 5 sets of 5 reps, 3 times per day.
4. Gradually work up to holding each Kegel for a count of 10. Make them part of your regular abdominal exercises and lower body routine.

Classical music for baby josh

My baby josh enjoying listening classical music. Yeah, my baby loves listening to music. When he was still in my womb every night I put headset on my belly and played the 100 Piano Masterpieces dvd. They said classical music can make your baby smarter. They call it the Mozart effect which is a temporary increase of intelligence after listening to a piano pieces. Whether it is true or not I like my baby to become smart and inclined to music when he grow up. He is now 3 months old and every morning I always play her 50 Toddler Sing-along Songs sometimes i sing to him and it seems he likes it. =)
