Davin Update

Okay, here's a quick stats of his one year appointment:
Height 29inches
Weight 19.5lbs
17 percentile on weight and growth is a little bit below 50

Normal as far has brain development, motor skills are fine, verbal skills where it needs to be, on the average scale chart he's below but every visit he's made improvements. I'm not worried. He walked a week before his birthday, he repeats words after we say them, and he's getting curious and developing a personality.

One Step at a Time

OMG!!! My sweet little Davin is going to be one years old tomorrow. This year has gone by so quickly. I will have to tell you how he's developing after his first year check year the first week of May. He's had a few milestones in the last month. Teething coming in, repeating words, and WALKING!!! Walking was just this week. I'm lucky enough to have caught this 4th attempt on my phone :) I nearly cried after I took this video. Raising children is so bittersweet, at least I have memories captured.

Mini Vacation

Finally we made a trip away from Seattle. PRE-babies, Ned and I use to go to Cannon Beach, Oregon for Valentine's Day, (6 years) but the last 2 years has made it a bit difficult being 1. broke 2. close to my due date both times 3. broke. Yes we're extra broke (lol). We had 3 great days away from our daily lives. Kingston's trouble 2 was at a good level all days but we managed. We went to the aquarium, visited some smaller towns nearby, a lighthouse and of course the beach, although not much because of the wind and rain. But as you could tell from some of the pictures we got lucky with some sun breaks every now and then.

This trip was much needed and long over due. Our boys, has much as I love them, take up a lot of my time. I haven't made much time for Ned. There's something about being away from your daily routine in a different place. We needed it, we deserved it and we loved it.

Bye Bye 2010

Another great New Year's Eve with the family. How do you like our 2010 Burning Man? For the first time we finished a puzzle. Every year to past the time we work on a puzzle. The most exciting thing about this New Year is my oldest brother, Gilbert, was there to celebrate with us. He's been locked up and I was actually really missing him. Ever since my parents moved back home to the Philippines I've really missed hanging out with my siblings. I see Sheilah every day but both my brothers have their own family so its just a few times a month. I'm hoping this year will be a start of more time spent with my siblings. Well here's to 2011, let's make a good one!!!

Burn Bitch Burn 2010

Christmas Overload

I know its been over a month but life happens and I wanted to let you all know how the boys Christmas went. The picture above says it all. The boys had piles of gifts to open (well mom and dad). As you can tell by Davin's reaction it was quite overwhelming that he had to thank God for all of it. We had a busy Christmas eve. We went to my brother's house and then to my Aunt Nena's. Note to self, one party per day. The boys stayed up past midnight and it messed up their sleeping schedule for weeks. I know they had a good time dancing, eating, and playing with his their older cousins. Christmas morning we hung out with grandpa and grandma Casault. We had yummy breakfast and torn through our presents. I got the best gift ever, my wonderful in-laws gave me a garden. They will be help me build a garden. I will post pictures and updates in my person blog. I will give you the link as soon as the project is started in March.

Halloween 2010

We had a great Halloween this year. As you can see, Davin wore Kingston's lion costome and Kingston was our little monkey. We were in invited to Auntie Lon's house for some homemade pho and spring rolls. OMG if you've never had Vietnamese food your missing out. I'm still very reluctant to let Kingston eat candy or anything bad that taste good, so there was not trick-or-treating for us. No worries people I will let them go wild in about 5-10 years (LOL).

Davin the Lion...rrroooarrr!!!

Sweet Little Davin

Sweet little Davin is nearly seven months old. We went for his six months just a few weeks ago and here's his stat:

Weight= 13.5lbs

Height= over 26 inches

Head circumference= 16.5

He's still in the low 20-30 percentile, but his weight is below, if he was only one pound heavier we wouldn't need to monitor his weight but if doesn't gain a few pounds, the doctor wants to do blood test. To help in his weight gain, I've added baby food and mixing formula with this breast milk. Its not like he doesn't eat. He is exactly like big brother with food, ravenous.

Besides his weight he's a pretty normal growing baby. Excellent motors skills. He's about to crawl now. He can sit alone with no support for minutes at a time. He grabs for things. He can follow objects with this eyes and he baby talks a lot. He got his six month shots. So for the next month, we're going to focus on a more regular feeding schedule, baby food and mixing in formula here and there for that added fat. Its hard right now though since he sick. He has a horrible cold and cough. At his age they can't really do much so we're just letting it pass.
