Alejandro Luis Consing Motas

Posted in Multiply on Apr 9, '08

My Luis is already a year and a half.

Can you believe it?! A year and a half had passed since he started rocking our world! He has grown to be such an adorable (sometimes tantum-throwing) little boy.

A few of the things he does now that keeps me smiling:

1. Calls me "A-ee" (coz he couldn't say mommy). But he calls Richard Daddy (UNFAIR!!!).

2. He can say "Ma" when he means "mwah", but if you coax him into saying "Mama", he answers dutifully with "Papa". Never fails.

3. If you say, "One...two..." He would gleefully answer, "Tee!!!" because he knows the next is three. And he would be tickled after.

4. If you say, "Alejandro" he'd add "Wis" (for Luis) then if you say "Consing" he'd end it with "Tatas" (Motas). He just officially murdered his last name.

5. He is generally a sweet and nice boy. His yaya tells us so. But when I get home from work, he starts acting up. Kasi he wants to ALWAYS be with me. So even if I need to go to the restroom, he "cries" that he can't join me. Hehehe.

6. If he's the first to wake up, he looks at me and Richard to see if we're also awake. If he sees that we're still sleeping, he tries to go back to sleep. Sometimes though, when he's so ready to play, he sits on Richard or pokes my face to stir us. :D

7. He practically cries when he sees the face of his pediatrician -- even if they haven't seen each other for weeks (or months?). He KNOWS.

8. It used to be so difficult to make him drink medicine. But due to some mysterious thing his yaya did, now if you say medicine. He lies still, opens his mouth and waits for the dropper. GALING!!!

9. His skin color is between mine and Richard. He's not as dark as his daddy (although I have to say, he shares the same skin color as Richard's "hidden parts". Hehehehe!) but not as fair as me. He's in between. My uncle from Canada said, "olive" daw.

Lately though, he's darker than usual coz of the swimming that he did. His color has not gone back to normal. Waaaah. And it looks like it's not going back. Pano yan, magbi-beach pa naman si Luis this weekend. Hehehe. Hinahabol yata talaga color ni Richard.

10. Before he sleeps, he would pull my face towards Richard and Richard's face towards mine because he wants us to kiss. When we do as he wants, he smiles. One time, we extended our kiss and did not let go right away. Siguro feeling niya something's wrong, kasi ang tagal na, he started pulling us apart naman. Hehehe.

Wala lang, gusto ko lang isulat some of the things that Luis does that makes us happy. He is such a blessing. :D

9 Hours and 1 Minute To Go!

Posted in Mutiply Nov 28 07

Itching, itching, itching to go home.

Tomorrow's a holiday and Richard took a day off today to make his long weekend even longer. He actually got the idea from me coz I was planning to go on leave today too. Magde-date sana kami and start our Christmas shopping. Alas! Work foiled my plans. They scheduled a budget presentation to the Board of Directors (on the last hour of the day pa ha, 4pm!) and I cannot NOT be here, or else my boss'll kill me. Kung hindi lang good friend ang boss ko, I would have called in sick, anyway kaya naman niya i-explain yung part ko in the presentation. Hehehe. But she is a very dear friend and I am such a professional, so here I am, updating my blog na lang.
Hehehe.

Haaaay, so ayun, Richard and Luis will play the whole day, possibly visit my inlaws, and just relax. He said they'll wait for me to get home so we can all go to the family dinner together. Haaaaay, it's not even 8am yet and I'm already counting the hours until I can log out and go home!

Dibale, time flies when you're having fun, so bring out the Yahoo Games! Hehehe.
