Sleepy Sleeperson II

I can't resist taking Obiwan's picture when he's sleeping. He's so peaceful. He looks like he's so tired and that all he wants to do is sleep.

Obiwan's First Bath

What's left of Obiwan's umbilical cord fell off two days ago which meant that he's now able to take a bath. He hasn't bathed since he was born and we were just restricted to cleaning him with a wet face towel.

Yesterday, we were able to give Obiwan his first bath. He was very cooperative throughout the whole bathing process. It looked like he enjoyed it. The video below shows part 1 of his first bath. YouTube didn't allow part 2 because it was too long. Please excuse the cinematography. The cameraperson (Obiwan's Auntie Sasha) moves a lot while shooting the video.

Obiwan Peed on Me

I was changing Obiwan's diaper earlier. I took the wet diaper off and was in the process of getting the new diaper ready when Obiwan started peeing. The rubber mat he was on was getting pee all over it and I had to lift him for him not to get wet with his own pee. He stopped and I was ready to continue changing him. 

Then he started to pee again, still without the new diaper on. This time he peed high enough to get my shorts wet. I swear, I've never been this happy to be peed on. Well I wasn't so much happy than not angry. I guess it comes with the role.

Major Setback

This is very frustrating. My phone to laptop cable doesn't work! I have tons of pictures on my phone which I can't post here.

Baby Talk

I remember hearing about this before but as I wasn't a father then, I didn't have a use for it. Now that I have Obiwan, I thought it would be useful. I searched the internet for these baby sounds and found them in DunstanBaby.com. OMG! I've become a mother!

Anyway, the article said that there's a way to identify what 0-3 month old babies need/want when they cry. They utter a sound before they start crying hysterically.

Here's the list:

1. EH - "I need to burp."
2. NEH - "I'm hungry."
3. OWH - "I'm sleepy."
4. HEH - "Please change my diaper." or "I feel uncomfortable."
5. EAIRH - "I need to fart."

Now I haven't tried to see if Ben says these but I'll be keeping my ears open and find out. Hopefully it makes motherhood fatherhood easier.

Obiwan has a Fansite

Ninang Mady posted these pictures on her Multiply website which I grabbed and reposted here.

He's as big as my head!

And he's as big as my hand!

He just woke up.

Yawning.

Yoohoo...

It's like his eyelids open and close independently from each other. Hehe.

Baby Shower Flashback

Here are the pics from Mady's camera of the baby shower held Oct 31, 2008. It was held at Dinky's in Pasig City.
