The floods in Mindanao reminded me of Typhoon Ondoy. We had our apartment flooded waist-deep. We lost most of our books in flood water but we’re thankful that all of us were safe.

Back to the time that I’m not yet pregnant and Gab is not around yet, other than running, volunteer work keeps my weekends busy. And for Hands On Manila (HOM) volunteer sherpas, the Servathon is one activity we looked forward to.
I got this heavy duty, daily use pump from Medela when Gab was around 7 months. For the first 6 months, I was using the light weight Medela Mini Electric.
Veggies are Gab’s second food. He usually eats it with brown rice. Homemade baby vegetable purees are easy to prepare. Gab’s favorite includes squash, sweet potato, potato, sweet peas and brocolli.
Rice cereal is Gab’s first food. It is recommended by our pedia: Doctor’s Advice in Introducing Solid Food for Baby. We decided to make homemade baby cereal with brown rice.
Even babies need a passport to travel abroad. The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has made passport application easy with the courtesy lane. We knew this when we inquired at the DFA passport appointment hotline when we applied for Gab’s passport.
This is one of the useful baby stuffs we have. We received this as a gift. This has been recommended by Gab’s pedia too!
