Today marks the 1st birthday of my nephew and godson, Liam Anthony! He’s my 1st pamangkin by consanguinity (he’s my younger brother’s first-born) so you could say without doubt that I dote on him pretty much.
I clearly remember the day when he was born, he was far away from us (my brother and his family lives in the southern part of the country) so we were always excited for the pictures and any news his father would send to us – through SMS, MMS or email. It would be weeks before I would see him with my own eyes, (imagine the torture). And when we met…..he was, well, sleeping. He slept the whole day on the first day of my visit hehe! But he’s so beautiful, I can’t take my eyes off this little bundle of joy, who is also the first apo in our family.
Liam’s the handsomest baby for me, even at 2 weeks old:
It took me a long while before trying to carry him in my arms (and Liam obviously wasn’t pleased with the way I carried him haha!):
I think I finally got it right, when he was about 2 months old na and a bit bigger (and plumper hehe!):
At my wedding early this year, Liam stood as my bible bearer – the youngest in the entourage, no less! His mom was my Maid of Honor, and up to now I still can’t believe how we pulled this off: Maid of Honor and Bible Bearer walking together during the processional hehe! This mom-and-son moment during the processional was one of the beautiful photos we have from the wedding.
Look how cute Liam was in his Boboli long-sleeve polo (bought by his Lola at Greenbelt 5 the night before the wedding), Gingersnap pants (I think I bought that for him) and his Native shoes in fluo green (from his Daddy).
My moment with Liam during the wedding day. I thought he will cry at the sight of his Ninang Tita all dolled up. But it looks like he was mesmerized, hehe!
Liam has grown since I last saw him in May. He has grown teeth and height and energy and a big voice! He has also learned a lot of things since then, and I am already excited to see him share all those with me (when his mood permits, I guess).
I can’t believe this little boy has “grown up” in just 5 months!
And these perfect almond-shaped eyes say that Liam will grow up to be a precocious child, curious about the world around him, but he’s going to be a bit naughty too hehe!
Happy Birthday, my darling Liamtot! Ninang Tita loves you so much! See you soon! (dalawang tulog na lang!)
![[ Long story ahead] 👉 Yesterday evening we checked on GG2 and found that 2 kitties were missing. We don't know where she put them because her area is already fenced to avoid the kitties from wandering off.
Turned out we are now at that stage where the momma cat is transferring her kitties because: (a) the birthing box has gotten too small for them though we put them out of the box already and fenced the area, (b) the area is dirty and OC si GG2, or (c) the area is too exposed and too bright for them.
After looking around with flashlight, we found the 2 kitties under the other plant stand just outside our door, walking at different directions and if not for the flashlight ay baka natapakan ko na 😬 We hurriedly put them back in their original box muna with their other siblings, and placed kraft paper in this potential '2nd home' under the plant stand in case GG2 transfers them again.
True enough, she transferred them back there - at midnight. We woke up this morning at the sound of meowing GG2. She is telling us that her babies want breakfast na so it's time to feed her as well 😂
Now I know why nag lipat bahay sya. Gusto pala nya mas malapit sya sa amin 😜 Isang sigaw or meow meow lang nya, nakasilip na kme sa kanya 😂.
Haaayz, who knew that having a momma cat and newborn kitties would be this stressful - and entertaining 😜
