I had a 14K run today at Team Logan HQ in Laguna. We went up to Nuvali which was a nice and clean route. We started the run at around 4:45. The wind was still cool and the sun was just starting to cast it’s first light behind the mountains. It was a good break from the polluted long runs in Manila.

Welcome to WikiGab
Welcome to WikiGab. This is a dictionary of words that Gab has learned to say. We try to teach him the proper way to say the words but I guess his tongue is not yet built for the right pronunciation. Instead, he says it with his own dialect.
This is list will be updated from time to time as he learns new words. Words that he can pronounce already like Apple, Dad, Mom, Bread, Bike, Car and Truck are no longer included.

Daddy Travels for 2012
The year 2012 will be a year with a lot of travel. Quennie and I agreed that we will bring Gab to places outside Manila before he turns 2 year old next January. Once he turns 2, he is no longer free in the airfare. So we want to enjoy traveling while it is not yet that expensive. Plus, it’s a crazy year for weddings. Family and friends are tying the knot and we need to be there.
First Five Baby Signs to Teach
It took a while before Gab communicated with us thru baby sign language. It took about 2 months for us to notice that he is signing to us to communicate what he wants. It just started with these five simple baby signs: Milk, Eat, More, Dad and Mom.

Here’s another great iPad App for Toddlers from Fisher Price. Shapes and Colors Music Show helps your toddlers learn about colors and shape in a fun and cute way. There are two levels but I prefer to stick to level 2. I find the level 1 irritating and boring while level 2 is fun and interactive.

Melissa and Doug Toys – Fish Colors
I was looking for new educational toys for babies to keep Gab busy. Fish Colors by Melissa and Doug was one of the new toys I bought for him. With ten fish-shape color puzzles, I think this toy can keep Gab busy for weeks. It’s a great educational toy to help Gab learn and identify colors.
Soft Raisin Oatmeal Cookies for Toddlers
I have been baking cookies for Gab. He is now 16 months old and loves eating with his fingers. That is why he loves cookies. He likes to hold it by himself and bites them with gusto. I got this recipe from allrecipes.com but made it with less sugar. This may taste bland for cookie lovers but I find it just perfect for Gab.

Good Mornings Starts with Three Happy Things for Gab
Sometimes, Gab would wake up crying in the morning. There are times that he would wake up in a good mood and call me “Dad-d”. But more often, he wakes up calling “Mom-m” and finds out that Quennie has already left for work. So I have to come up with things to cheer him up and assure him that all is fine with Daddy around.
