Toy as Radio

Happiness is seeing Pio playing with his toy as a "radio". He received a bazillion gifts on his baptism and birthday and I'm slowly introducing them to him one by one. There's this toy (I hope to upload a pic later) with 2 rows of buttons and plays music. At first, he just kept pounding on the buttons repeatedly and created a ruckus. This morning, he was in his crib with it and another toy. Then I noticed that he would press on one button, then it would play a song, then he plays with the other toy. When the song is done, he'd press the button again to play the next song, and then go back to the other toy. He did this several times. I investigated the toy and discovered that only that particular button plays the songs. So he was like treating it as a radio! Haha, so cute! :)

First Steps!

Happiness is Pio walking! Well, taking his first few un-assisted steps tonight, February 8. We were hanging out at his cousin's house and he was with his daddy when he turned around and walked three steps towards me. We were surprised! Then we made him do it again for the video! Haha.

He's not totally totally walking though. As soon as we make him stand, he rushes forward so he loses his balance. Hay, baby, don't rush things!

OSJ: Nap

* Happiness is a restful nap.

OSJ: Trinoma

* Happiness is the few minutes I schlepped around Trinoma. On my own. On a Sunday. Haha. I miss Trinoma Tuesdays.

OSJ: Slow Clap for Chocolate

* Happiness is seeing Pio's slow clap after bites of Crisp on the 28th's triple chocolate mousse. Too bad we didn't catch it on video. Or maybe it's good we didn't catch it on video. Hehe.

OSJ: Ramen

* Happiness is a solo lunch-out with a bowl of Ramen Nagi ramen. Yum.

OSJ: H&M

* Happiness is a quick trip to H&M even if I had to shop for Pio and not for me. Bonus: I still came home earlier than usual.

One-Sentence Journal

I really really really want to blog but I can't, i.e., no time, too tired, crappy Internet connection. In the meantime, I will try doing the One-Sentence Journal here. I'll try to sum up what made me happy in one sentence, or two, or three.

Let's start with:

* Happiness (and fatness) is a tub of Potato Corner cheese fries.

* Happiness is coming home to a still-awake Pio and playing with him before bedtime.
