Our Greatest Joy

Wow, how time flies! My baby just turned five months old yesterday. As of his last visit to his pediatrician, he already weighs 8.8 kg! No wonder our arms easily ache after just a minute of carrying this big boy of ours! He's gotten a few nicknames already--- "Bardagul", "Bilog", and "Tabaching" to name a few. Now are you convinced that he really is big for his age? =)


Until now, my husband and I still find it funny to call our dearest son "anak". It's still hard to believe that we are actually parents now. Hehehe...

Certainly, having baby Khalil in our lives is the greatest joy we have ever felt! Here are the top five reasons we absolutely enjoy being his parents:

1. He always cheers us up after a hard day's work. It's so quick and easy for him to smile, with just a few funny sounds and movements from us. Sometimes, even when we're just calling his attention, he already smiles widely! There are times when he would even smile a bit, and then bury his face onto the shirt of the person holding him. Other times, he would even laugh out loud!
2. In the morning, he always brightens up our day. When he opens his eyes and sees us, he doesn't cry even if he had just woken up. Instead, his lips turn into a beautiful smile.
3. We absolutely enjoy playing with him. He removes all the worries from our minds, and keeps us smiling all the time.
4. He inspires us to work harder and to keep dreaming big dreams for our future as a family.
5. He gives us the opportunity to enjoy life and to know that God is for real, because our son is a blessing from Him. As the saying goes, "In God's time..." Our son moves us to believe that greater blessings our yet to come.
