Wifely Steps

Five months after I gave birth, I began noticing a lot of my hair falling out. There were stray strands in the shower, strands in my hair brush, strands on my clothes, strands on the bed! It was alarming. I have read that postpartum hair loss is normal, but I didn’t realize how much hair [...]

I hope you never lose that childlike wonder, baby.

Timmy looks like he’s trying to see which part of my face to drool on first. Or trying to determine which part of his toy he wants to nibble on. Or reading his favorite book. Or awaiting his next spoonful of cereal. Or watching his Nonna play [...]

The first time Timmy drank orange juice, I crossed my fingers, hoping he’d like it. I was also waiting for that “sour” look on his face upon tasting this new thing. That look didn’t come though, as he just kept on drinking the orange juice as if he was drinking milk. *Nuninuninu, yumyum, BURP.* I [...]

Here’s a tip for my expectant friends: While you’re in the labor room, have someone take pictures of what’s going on outside the labor or delivery room. It makes for great stories later on, and you get to catch up on what went on while you were busy huffing and puffing. (Now if you [...]

Dear Timmy,
You’re turning six months old in a few days. Wasn’t it only yesterday when you’d stay awake through the night and I’d kid you that you were living in New York time? You sleep through the night now, only waking up to feed a little bit. Then you fall back into your baby slumber, [...]

“Mukha ka nang Toni ulit (You look like Toni again),” a friend of mine told me two months after I gave birth. I asked myself if I really did look that terrible easing into Mommyhood. Ouch. Then again, he was right. I didn’t really look like myself. Heck, I didn’t feel like myself. I was [...]

So is my baby going to hang out with girls at home when I’m at the office? Heehee. My sister took this picture while I was at work. Timmy’s practicing his moves on my Aunt’s doll, methinks. His bib adds extra charm.
But er, no, baby, I don’t think licking another baby’s head is a particularly [...]

Timmy and his funny antics. He loves playing with “the baby in the mirror.” Sometimes he smiles sweetly. Other times he pulls a silly expression like this one that cracks me up. Every time I remember this face of his I just feel tons better.
It looks like it’s going to be one hell of [...]

Timmy looks like he’s giving orders in this picture. “Mommy, get me my shoes!” “Daddy, hand me my rattle!” Then Mommy and Daddy would hurriedly grab whatever the baby’s asking for and rush to satisfy the little king.
Nah, it’s not that way at all. Timmy has been a wonderful angel. His disposition is very warm [...]
