Seasonal Full-Time Mom

It,s Gab’s 8th month on 29th December.  We are celebrating this during my "full-time-mom season". Like what we usually do every month for him, we prepare food for his birthdate, which is every 29th of each month. According to my husband’s family, this is done to avoid sickness for the baby during his first year. For me, I do it to celebrate my baby’s birth date every month and in belief of what they say as well. I think most families do this nowadays, so I do not really question it. Though I know I never had this during my time as a baby, I think this is not yet followed then.

I can’t explain how satisfying it is to take care of my son while our nanny is on her vacation. I’ve been a full-time mom since Ate Ester went home to her family on 27th December. She wants to spend the New Year with her 5 kids and husband since she had her Christmas with us. She will be back this January, so I will be a happy full-time mom until she comes back.

My son is now so “malikot” but I never got tired of taking care of him. I love watching him smile and giggles when he is playing I also love watching him asleep, most of the time, he is also smiling when he’s asleep. It’s what they say as ‘he’s playing with his angels’. I still find time to do laundry and cleaning his bottles even if he is awake. I just place him on his walker and he roams around the kitchen when I am working in the sink. That’s of course with all the barricade I can have for the places he’s not supposed to reach. He’s about to wake up now, so I’ll sign off for the mean time.
