Dear Peanut,

Happy 5-months to you and congratulations on having your first bukol.

Earlier today, we put you inside the laundry basket (I padded it with a throw pillow and a clean blanket, #DontMe #NoToMommyShaming) and you see seemed to like your new “crib.”

But when AteL picked you up, you head-banged her and tumama yung ngipin nya sa noo mo. Boom, bukol (small lang). We put ice on it para naman lumamig ulo mo. Lagi ka nalang galit!

So you celebrated your 5-month birthday today but last Saturday (Black Saturday - I found a photo of your father, but that's for another entry), we went to this pizza place that serves brick oven pizza. Only the three of us went to the birthday dinner this time because of your AuntieAnne’s chickenpox thing (pagaling na but better be safe than sorry).

Instant celebrity ka sa pizza place. It’s as if the servers haven’t seen a baby before, haha. You didn’t kick up a fuss and sat on your stroller, sniff-eating your blanky while your father and I stuffed our faces with salad, pizza, espresso, and red wine.

After that, we walked the length of East Capitol Drive in Kapitolyo looking for a dessert place. We ended up in Cab Café and had sans rival al fresco.

We stayed a home during the long weekend and amazingly, you were so nice and calm. AteL said she told you not to be so fussy while she’s in the province. Good thing you listened.

We also dipped your feet in the swimming pool for the first time! :D

Achievement: You’re still dark. And fat. I say it all with love.

AteL's gift to you is my favorite yema cake from Batangas and two bottles supply of raw honey! P.S. We ate your cake.
