Emilio Rei is 10 Months Old
Last Saturday, Emilio Rei celebrated his 10th month "birthday". As in the previous months since he was born, we had a small party, complete with a cake with a candle for him to blow, noodles and other party goodies. This month, though, was extra special since he was already able to "participate" in our celebration. He gamely posed for pictures, ate a little cake icing and sat with us in his high chair as we ate. We were even able to dress him up in his first Lakers basketball jersey!
Emilio Rei is so much fun now... in his own way, he communicates with us. He may not be able to speak our language yet but I'm sure his blabbering sounds mean some things. For sure, tati means Daddy, ayay means Yaya, lolola means Lola and ala means Marah (no, he does not call me Mommy even if I always teach him to say Mommy, he he). We already know that when he starts scratching his left ear with his left hand, he is becoming pissed off. And when he turns cranky after playing, that means he is sleepy already and he needs to be rocked to sleep with his lullabye CDs playing.
He is slowly showing his personality and becoming his own person now. This early, I can already see that he will be a passionate person. When he is happy, he laughs with all his might. He even stamps his feet and move his arms while doing so. When he cries though, well, he really CRIES. He can cry non-stop for an hour or so if he wants to. No matter how you console him, he won't stop until he decides to.
There's so much to be thankful for. I have Emilio Rei, my constant source of strength and inspiration. Having him in my life changed me... I'd like to think that I am a better person now because my life is continuously being enriched with spending it with my little angel.
