Sleepless Nights Perfect Match


This topic has been long over due but I guess it's better late than never. Countless efforts in finding the right vitamins for my little boy has become too tiring for we never saw the results of the supposedly "health benefits" as each of them claims to possess. My son has always been awake at night and sleeps during the day for many months now since he was three. I tried many ways to keep him awake the whole day and put him to bed at night but most of the time didn't worked. I felt hopeless and tired, I'm too tired of staying awake at night to keep him company. He don't just play the whole night but he often eats at dawn! It makes me go crazy! My little boy is as hyper as ever! and so is hard to feed...

I even brought him to a new pedia to get a different strategy on how to make him eat and sleep and this is what he gave me: Appebon to be taken for 2 months. On the first few weeks it kept him busy eating all the time but, still never sleeps at night (but he usually take 1-3 hrs nap) and I noticed his eating habits drops again after several weeks. Then, I went back to his pedia and was given a different vitamins - Mosegor Vita Syrup! again to be taken for 2 months. So I went to the drug store to buy a bottle of the said vitamins and got shocked when I saw its price! a whooping Php716 for a bottle of 120ml. My goodness gracious this has to work!

I have seen a slight change since we shifted to Mosegor Vita Syrup. He now eats (but still has to play the run around) , noticed weight increase, he now sleeps at night (sometimes) but we are still working on it and hopefully we can correct his sleeping patterns before he go to school in June.

Well, I guess I have found a perfect match for those sleepless nights! =D

What's in it again?

I have been browsing the net the other night when I stumbled upon an ad about baby diapers and sign up their diaper CLUB to include me in their mailing list. I registered online and fill out my children's profile and there was a question about "my name was suggested by" and "what's the meaning of the name?" then it made me think, what's in it (baby name) again?

I remember I wrote it somewhere and so I started to look for their respective time capsule boxes (I'm preparing it when they turned 18/21) and here's what I have found:

Yani's First Pancit

Yani just turned 7 months today and she got even bigger and heavier. I'm so mesmerized with her smile and whenever she makes her uber pa-cute face it makes me want to bite her chubby cheeks (hahaha!=p) I really am sooOOO blessed and grateful that God has entrusted her to become our daughter.

Truly, she is a loan of love a gift from above and we give her back to God! Happy 7th month Yani!

I have prepared a mini celebration and for this month's cake, it's Choclate Blackout by Bean and Baker (SM Hypermarket, Pasig)

Here are some of the photos:
