Back to work already?

Time has gone by too fast. My little Jam has turned into a regular baby now. This going back to work thing totally sucks. 6 weeks is not nearly enough time to spend with a baby before going to work. With Leelai, i spent the first 11 months of her life at home with her. It felt natural and right when i started working again and put her into daycare. Plus, it helped that the daycare she was in was my work place (i sort of planned it that way)! Now that we have more responsibilities, i HAVE to go back to work. The good part about this though is that i'll be working part time till 12 and then hopefully i can earn more money and work from home as well on a regular basis. So, the mornings will be all about Jam and Papa (good luck!) and them building a bond together.

"somebody's touching me!"

It also looks (but doesn't feel like) summer is almost over. I have a feeling though that it won't be the end of daily swimming for Leelai at Lolo and Lola's house. She and Gani have truly become brother and sister over the past couple of months. I don't know how i could have functioned this summer without Tita Bean bags and Uncle Purse bags. They have helped us out sooo much! I wish i had more time to take pictures, but the whole breastfeeding thing really keeps me occupied. I'll see what i can steal from my dad's camera to share.

1 month!

Hi! I haven't had much time to blog... mostly cause my boobs are on call with the little MJ. We have so far had a great summer! Lee-lai and the cousins are soo dark from swimming everyday. She can now jump into the pool (no floaties) and swim across to her Lolo. Once i get pictures of the clan, i'll post them up. I'm soo proud of her too! She's a wonderful big sister and is always willing to help out her Mama.
Anyhoo, the little one is officially 1 month old tomorrow! I can't believe how fast that was. She already has lots of nick names. My favorite is Jam.... short for MariJam. For the full story of MariJam, you need to ask Nina Bean Bags. It's a great nick name cause you can add whatever flavor to the front of it to describe her or her mood. For example, when she's pooping and her face is all red, i call her Strawberry Jam... or when she's all mad and crying, i call her Sour Jam. She's such a good baby too. It seems like she's at peace most when there is craziness going on at Lolo and Lola's house. When it's too quiet, she opens her eyes and looks around like there is something wrong.

I call this shot "Sio-pow Jam".. the most sarap flavor of them all!
