Baby Justin’s 2nd month Birthday! :)

Preparations, preparations! The wife will be cooking pasta to celebrate kiddo’s second month birthday. We’re so proud of him and he already weighs 13.2lbs! He’s two months old and continues to use his charm and cuteness to get his way! haha The Simbol’s couldn’t be happier right now — well, we probably could be if the three of us were together! Here’s my digiscrap to celebreate baby J’s birthday. This was a work of love and it was difficult to get the creative juices flowing. It’s all for Justin!  

 We love you our adorable li’l chap!!! Happy 2nd month birthday from mom and pop!

Tips: How to Take Care of Your Baby

Nothing beats some old school advice. For the newbie parents like the Simbol’s, here are some helpful tips on how to take care of your baby. If you are planning to have one soon, here is your manual I found this hilarious but make sure you strictly follow the DO’s only!!!

Baby Justin’s Milestones (1st month)

This post has been long overdue since kiddo is turning two months on Feb 15. He’s already at 5.5kg now and I guess he really likes drinking Nestle Nan1 HA! They said this milk is the cream of the crop and he is digging it! Absorb, absorb, absorb It is evident now on his cheeks!

Babies grow up pretty fast and the Simbol’s need to keep track of his progress.  It’s hard enough that I’m here in Nam but I was able to see at least a month of babyJ when I was in Manila.  I got this baby milestone list from my sister and let’s see how the little king is doing so far:

• Lifts head for short periods of time – Yah!
• Moves head from side to side – A lot! The left side is his favorite sleeping position
• Prefers the human face to other shapes  – hmm.. can’t tell yet during the first month but he is doing it now
• Makes jerky, arm movements  – He does this a lot especially when he’s surprised by sudden noises or when we’re cleaning his poop!
• Brings hands to face – mittens to the rescue!
• Has strong reflex movements  – Definitely! He kicks away his blankets!
• Can focus on items 8 to 12 inches away - Agree!
• May turn towards familiar sounds or voices – He misses my voice by now
• Responds to loud sounds – Kiddo is focused when asleep.. no loud sounds can distract him! Hehe but he does get surprised if there’s a sudden noise. He seems to like the baby Einstein lullabies.
• Blinks at bright lights – he does this during his sun bathing time!

So far so good! Baby Justin is developing well and we just discover new things about him everyday *sigh* ..quoting a line from a famous song.. “Every little thing he does is magic!”
