AJ at his 1st and 5th month birthday

Look how much AJ has grown since his first month birthday. We celebrated his 5th month birthday last November 13. Had a Chocolate Marjalaine cake and of course pansit (for long life). Our pedia visit last weekend included a 5 in 1 vaccine (Polio, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) ) and physical exam. He did cry for a few seconds when he felt the needle on his leg and then stopped after I picked him up from the doctor's table. He got another very good from Dra. Que and she informed us that he is ready to start table food on his 6th month birthday. Yehey! Looking forward to post those messy encounters with the high chair in the future. Hehe!

My boy is getting bigger and I can't wait to see him sit on his own, crawl, stand and walk.. And wonder what his first word will be. I know some mothers will say that I don't know what I'm asking for ...but for first time mothers like me, everything my baby does is a sure delight, even if it makes me go nuts sometimes. At the end of the day, I thank God that I survived the day of chaos with learning on the side and loads of smiles & giggles on top. When I stare at him while he sleeps at night... all the craziness just melts away. And find myself looking forward to his toothless smile when he wakes up in morning and the chaos that comes along with it.
