Pasalubong

Bee just came in from an overnight activity in Samal and we were both surprised when Baby -- after squealing in delight and running straight to his Tatay's arms the instant he saw him, squirmed free and headed straight to his Tatay's backpack. He then turned to his Tatay and said, "Pasalubong Tatay?" Haha! Bee turned to him and said his presence is the pasalubong. Bee turned to me however and said he'd make a quick visit to a nearby store but I admonished him. While it is nice to have some pasalubongs for Baby when we've been away, I would rather have it that Baby is pleased to see us because he missed us and not because he's looking forward to the treat we're giving him.

Baby certainly is growing up so fast. He never fails to amaze us everyday with his new learning and antics. Last Thursday night (August 14) he insisted to put on his socks himself. We were getting ready for bed then. Bee was handing Baby and I socks for the night. He turned towards Baby, intending to put it on him. Baby however insisted about doing it himself. And so I praised him and told his Tatay, "Look, Tay, mark this date -- August 14 -- this is the day that Baby put on socks for himself for the first time!" Baby then said, "Picture please Tatay." Haha! So he now have associated his "first's" with taking pictures of the event! hehehe Smart Baby :)
