365 Days of Jam, Jelly, and one more...: Day 136 of 365 Days: October 5, 2012

Dear Jam and Jelly,

Ah. It seems you are having your share of disturbed sleep Jelly, it's this too much laughing thing! Early in the day when Jam and I woke up, we found you and Ate Josel eternally giggling at Choco. We realized that whenever Ate Josel attempted to get you near Choco and pull you back just before Choco could lick you, you scream and giggle and make the cutest of laughter. Ate Josel reports that this happened whole day even as we were home, to prove to Mamilou, a demonstration had to be done. So now, once in a while, you wake up and cry a lot quite oppositely as you laughed a lot earlier. Or maybe it's just an adjustment to this new you. Well, hey! You are six months now! That is why it is more difficult to put you to sleep. We had to lull you with your favorite movie - Megamind! Later on when you were asleep, Jam had her share of Coraline. Look it up the net when you wanna know what they are, course I am expecting the two of you to read this when you are old and able enough. You might only be able to appreciate this when you are really OLD ENOUGH for sentiments and by that time everything I write here would be Classics! HAHA!

When Jam and I were getting ready for travel, Ate Josel's mom came by. We were in the bath when she arrived by the time we finished, it was Ate Josel's shocked face that greeted us. She told us that Jelly is starting to discern people from strangers and familiar people. While you, Jelly was smiling that big smile of yours upon Ate Josel's mom's arrival, later on, you were crying - showing apprehension. I don't know if that is the right word because we didn't encounter that with you, Jam. In fact, we feared you would go with any stranger since you didn't have problems being picked up by anyone. Although today, you are quite the contrary.

The shoe problem continues. No, Jam, we didn't get to buy a new pair of shoes. According to Mamilou, you chose the gummy worms and gummy gecko over the Dora shoes she wanted to buy you. To think, when we were getting ready for CDeO, we discussed that we would be compliant with the shoe issue! Shoe issue. Well. I don't know what's up with you! The discussion had to happen because when we tried a cute pair of shoes, it wouldn't fit you and you haven't even worn it once. Sayang! :( All that's left for your feet are your Crocs slip ons, which are hardly formal for Sunday dresses. I hope we get to find a way this week.

At the mall, we did another food shopping, as everyday to keep you satiated. We bought "On end candy" that's how you call "Cotton candy"or candy floss. Then we ate Nova and then shopped for your everyday favorite Japanese sweet corn with butter and cheese for toppings. I am really working hard on your appetite and so far, you have been eating complete meals for a week now. We also bought Jelly her first Cerelac, good enough for 6 month-old babies, which Jam chose specifically. "Yellow lang please" you said when I was picking out the flavors.

Gloria Maris again for dinner where thankfully, Jam didn't break anything. It was back at the Novena that you broke Mamilou's red rosary. Tsk! At Gloria Maris though you refused to tell Father Steve your name, you went up the stage after dinner and offered us a few poses for the camera. You sly one! In the taxi, you said "Ate Jajai, Mommy! Please saba kaau akong ears, big ayo inyong voice." Hahahah! Hilarious! Now your ears are noisy, not us. I know what you mean though, we do, so relax. It's just that Ate Jajai and I don't have that much time to talk nowadays since she began work in the City.

Coming home, unlike the previous days when Jelly would be asleep, she was wide awake to be screaming for our attention. Then Mamilou picked her up, and planted her by her side saying that it was time for practice sitting since you are already six months!

My talk with Daddy in the morning was short-lived and tonight, we didn't get lucky. Well, time to sleep now.

xOx,
