Psalm's 4th month milestones and other stories

Ei, am back!

I was supposed to blog something while am at mom's place but never had the time to open my laptop to visit this page. I was so preoccupied with my baby boy that I didn't have time to do other things. Time flew so fast that my weekend was over but it was so well spent.

Few things that made my weekend a blast:

• Psalm's milestones and other stories:
• He can continuously "close and open" his hand with the chant of his loved ones. :) This is a great accomplishment for little chimchim. I may need to add though that during the first week of Psalm he actually can do this exercise but only a few times so this is not the first time he's done this. Now though am making it official, he picks up directions as he can do the close and open thingy with us chanting the phrase. :) It's funny na ginagawa niya to in fast forward mode, hehe. (My mom -Mama Cheng said yung first conscious close/open ni Psalm is last Tuesday, 05.15.12.)
• We bought his first teether last night. Psalm is already showing teething symptoms this early so we bought him something to grind his gums on instead of chewing his dad's hand. Kawawa rin pacifier niya kasi yun yung pinangigigilan niya lagi.

This is the exact model we bought (Disney Gel Teether and Rattle).
Nakalimutan ko mgpicture kagabi. Around P219 ata ito.
Took photo from the net.

• Richard found out yesterday that Psalm is making the same chewing/ or biting mannerism he has. Talk about Richard giving all of his attributes to Psalm. Nadadagdagan yung list ng pagkapareha nilang mag-ama habang lumalaki si Psalm. Me - yung kulay parin ang nag-iisang nakuha sa akin...hehehe. Wait...nakuha rin pala niya yung paglalaway ko nung baby, lolz.
• Ok na si Psalm sa playpen niya. Mukhang masaya naman siya run kahapon. We had his playpen set up nung mga few weeks old palang si Psalm but back then he doesn't like sleeping there so Mama ended up folding the playpen to free space.  Richard assembled this crib again kasi di na pwede maiwan sa bed na walang harang si Psalm. Ang likot na ng batang to and malingat ka lang baka mahulog. He likes kicking his way around the bed so in a matter of seconds he really can be in a totally different area thanks to his uber hard bones sa feet. Pwede nga pang swimmer.

Psalm's playpen set up at his 17th day. Stayed there for like 3 days only.

Playpen is GRACO, bought online from ShopforTots.

• We got to treat Psalm's Mama Cheng and Mama Aline to a post Mother's day celebration. I forgot to take pictures though, my bad.  It was a late treat as last week we were met by rain so we weren't able to go out. We can't take Psalm's other Mama (Mama Len) for she needs to be with Tito Greg before he leaves for overseas. I know it's a headache having these multiple mom tags but to make things clear, these three ladies are actually Psalm's grandmothers. :D I'll just make a separate post about Psalm's wonderful lolas for they're such a blessing!
• Papa is coming home at last! But for the nth time, it was moved again but gratefully it's only for a day. Looking forward to my father seeing his grandchild for the first time. You see, we think Psalm was the one who got my father decide to stay for good. He's still the best dad for me eventhough he was away for most of our years--this may require a separate blogpost so let's just leave it as that.
