On my reading list

I usually write three to four books at a time. Reading is another of our family's passions. The hubby loves self-help books and I try to read a bit of everything: cookbooks, novels, anything I can get hold of.

At the moment, these are the books I tote around.

1) My favorite June 2008 issue of Yummy magazine. It features easy-to-follow everyday recipes. I try to cook one dish from my stack each month.



2) Secret Prey by John Sandford. First time to read a book by this author. The novel is about a wealthy banker ending up dead an investigators quest to find the killer. Basic recipe for a suspense novel.



3) Old issue of Star Studio Magazine. Reading on Sharon Cuneta's 2,500 sqm sprawling house in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.



4) Baby Read-Aloud Basics. Having a three-month old baby for the first time, we try to read on infant basics as much as we can.



5) What to Expect the First Year. This is a book I refer to every now and then.

Toy Story Toys

Lotso, Jessie, Woody and Buzz. Skid can't play with them yet. He's only 3 months old. We're storing him in his toy chest until such time that he's ready to play with them. Bought them at a promo of Shell gas station.

I'm a slacker blogger, that is to say, a busy mom. Skid has also been busy and is learning new things.

• He is making a lot of sounds like he is trying to talk to people. He becomes animated when someone comes near him.

• He still has to learn to raise his head without help but he is slowly getting there.

• He sleeps with his hands clasped together and even holds on to his bottle with one hand.

• He has acquired a bad habit of looking at the telly so we turn it off when he is awake.

I thought I would post a couple of our favorite pictures in the past month. He still stares at the camera so it is hard to get some nice shots.

This was when he wore a bodysuit and his first pair of shoes. Dad was going to have his annual medical checkup and we decided to bring him along. He looked eager to be on his way.


This was shot when we went for a morning stroll in Nuvali. He was so fascinated with the Japanese koi.



Holding on to Kuya Manuel's finger taken during his first San Pablo homecoming. Always following him with his eyes and making gurgling noises all the time. Sweet!
