- Strolling on a stroller
My husband and I love to spend Sunday morning around EVA campus for physical exercise and since the birth of our baby we find it hard to get to that routine again. So we bought our son a stroller. At first we our baby seem uncomfortable in the stroller but with some adjustments we were able to put him at ease. We had a wonderful Sunday morning exercise around the campus with our baby on his stroller. It was a good day to breathe fresh air and spend time as a family together.

Every one of us, especially the mother wants our child close to their first degree cousin. The mothers make an effort and try to set a schedule to have bonding with their cousin preferably that is of same age. As a mother it is our function to cultivate our child to expose and to realize the utmost important relationship between them with cousin. And this attitude will linger with them as they mature, and until they have their own family that soon they will share it.
bonding time with cousins
I’m glad that after a long wait, we finally had met our plan for my little son to unite with his cousins. My little boy even at his young age understands that he is very much fortunate to meet his cousin. I took them few pictures as a keepsake of this reunion with his cousins. We treasure such moment because of the fact that we are leaving apart from them and we don’t even know when we’re going to see them again. They much have fun, talk and play in their little ways.

Starting a bond with grandparents can help kids in many ways. Grandparents can be enormous influences and role models, and they can tender a sense of cultural heritage and family history. Grandparents bestow their grandkids with love, have their best interests at heart, and can make them sense of security. And grandparents also give confidence in a child’s hale and hearty development. Grandparents may have plenty of time to expend playing and reading to kids. Such keen attention only progress a child’s developmental and learning skills.
have quality time with my grandparent
Indeed, we are apart from our hometown, so we have to travel from our residence to our homeland just to visit our parents because this is the time to get bonding our baby to his grandparents. This time, we have our spare time, so we spend our time to visit in our parent house and this is the first time my parent see our little boy. So when we came home, my parent immediately carried my little son. They enjoy talking to my little son; even though my son can’t understand a word they say at least they had quality times together.

Grandfather handling me in my dedication
It is important that our child will be dedicated to God. Psalm 127:3 declares, “Lo, children are a heritage from the Lord and the fruit of the womb is His reward.” That being the case, our first responsibility is to recognize that our children are lives that God has entrusted to us. It becomes our parental responsibility to bring up our children in the ways of the Lord and His word. In Proverbs 22:6 states, “Train up a child in the way he should go (his natural bent) and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
In our baby’s fifth month, we decide to dedicate him to God and we decided to have it done in our place in Butuan City where both our parent are living. That was also our way to visit our families and for them to spend time with our baby.
Child dedication is one of our obligations as parents to bring him to the presence of God and we plead to the church to pray for our child that he may be faithful to God in his life’s journey. And also as parents we realize the needs of our children. At that day, as parent we also dedicate ourselves unto the Lord to bring our child in according to His will. And as parents we submit ourselves to God because we are nothing without Him especially in raising our child to walk on His footsteps

Human as we are, we so are busy. In a normal life we had so many things to do. Everyday we have different activity to be done. Like our daily endeavors, after work, some of us have night life affairs. Some of us go to parties, hang out with friends, or make some extra money and so much more that sometimes we forgot our duty on giving time to our family, especially to children. Most parents overlook to give more quality time to them. They are involved in many commitments outside to gain more money. They don’t even recognize the needs of their children by giving quality time with them.
Family bonding is very important to our children. Children value the quality moment with their parent. It will create strong interest and involvement inside the family than outside activities.
To spend quality time with our family, we do worship together as the adage goes “The family that prays together, stays together. Take more time to talk to children, talk to them like a friend. Play with their favorite games. Give some moral thoughts, share some values and goals, and encourage them that make them individual. Have time in going beach as a family or going shopping with your family. Going out and eat sometimes in the fast food or the restaurant.
I know we have a hard time to give them a good quality time but just keep on trying because this is the most important thing that the children needed the most from their parents.

I may have not tell you about how I felt when I learn tha I was pregnant.
Getting pregnant is every wives dream. As a woman we may be proud to say “I am pregnant!” and we feel complete. We would like to tell the whole world that we had live up to our essence and soon we’ll be a mother. Being pregnant is something that women should be thankful of for not all women get the opportunity of becoming a mother.
After my marriage I then longed to be pregnant. I was 28 then and I thought its just time for me to have a baby. But it took me more than 2 years to bore my precious one. So when the time came that I learn that I was bearing a baby I was so excited and mystified. I was full of pride to have known that a baby is inside my womb. My tummy started to life-sized. I utterly expressed to my husband and some close friends what I felt and I told them that I am now complete.

On becoming a new mom, at first I really don’t know what I was supposed to do to make sure that my baby will grow healthy. I asked and research about it. I talk to friends who have kids and also talk to our parents. Thank God there are also guides or sources on printed pages and articles on the web that I can read.

The result of my research was a great deal of suggestions. Here are some suggestions to guarantee that our babies will grow healthy. I giving food make sure that the food contains exact amount of carbohydrate, important fatty acid, proteins. Exposure to the sunlight (but not directly) every morning for at least 10 to 15 minutes was suggested to develop healthy bones and skin. Bathe the baby everyday to make baby comfy and fresh everyday. Perhaps the most indispensable thing I did was getting rid of junk foods and other processed foods. I noticed that every time I eat junk foods, my baby would not drink much milk from me and he seem to develop allergies. I choose foods that are healthy and natural to supply my baby with the most benefit. My option in getting complete nutrient was from root vegetables, whole-grain breads and cereals, fresh fruits and juices, and leafy green lettuce which provide vitamins and minerals. I make sure that all the food that I prepare for my baby is all fresh. I strive together with my husband to complete his vaccination as well.
Moreover, there is no other greater thing that you can give to your baby than affection and attention. Talk to your baby while he/she is eating. That would make them comfortable and create better mood while they eat.

I ensure that I am healthy because I am breastfeeding my baby. So I made some research to make my health perfect and to have a good diet.
I learn these from research, lactating mother should have a nutritional food to eat like fresh fruits, vegetable juice, milk, green vegetables, legumes, beans and peanuts. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, fruit juice or more on liquid. Buko juice in tropical countries is one good supplement. The lactating mother should take different group of food like bread, cereals, plenty of protein. Lactating mothers should also maintain taking vitamins. It is not good to eat on junk food during lactating period. It would ensure obtaining more calcium content intake in your diet. The lactating mother should intake low fat contents and high in fiber. Eating in restaurant or fast food more often may make you unhealthy and fat. Drinking of cola and liquor is prohibited. Exercise everyday to make you fit.

seventh month
My little boy has turned seven months old. At this age we started disciplining him. It seems hard because he seem not to understand a word we’re saying. At this age, the baby can do what they want to do. He can recognize voice. He laughs every time we tickle him and play pick-a-boo with him. He listens to music and every time he hears a somewhat unusual sound he looks around to find where the sound came from. He starts playing at some object that attracts him. Television catches his attention as well. When the TV is on, he stops from playing and focus at the television for a minute or two eyes wide open.
I know my baby grow day after day. He shows some thing different everyday. He loves to sing especially when its time to go to bed. We don’t sing him lullaby instead he sings for himself his lullaby until he gets to sleep. He is responsive with some finger works like waving goodbye and playing close-open on his fingers. We made counting 1 to 10 familiar to him. So when we hold his hands and count 1 to 10 he behaves and point out his pointer finger. He started to claps his hands not so perfect but he can do it and pull and grab anything. He can sit up for a moment without support. When given support to standing position he jumps and jumps or bounced up and down. He moves around our bed going in circle as much as he wants. And now, he crawls perfectly.
I and my husband are so glad that our little one is learning. We perceive his development everyday and we’re just so amused at whatever we discover our little boy is doing.
Mothers should be very vigilant with their little ones at this age because babies are now very active and they pretty much swallow anything their hands grabs.
