Mommy Moments is a meme where Moms muse about motherhood and show off their kids. Joys, worries, disappointments, hopes, challenges and successes are shared. Chris hosts this meme every Friday at The Mommy Journey . Today's topic is so little . I dug through what's left of CJ's offline albums and found one I scanned last night. This is one of CJ's earliest photos. He's just hours old. The first time I looked at my trophy, I was slightly aghast: CJ looked like a lizard. So you guessed it - little, tiny everything. Too little perhaps for a silly first-timer's vanity. CJ with his tiny self is pictured here with his paternal uncle who cradled him away from camera flashes. I obviously didn't do research on photographing infants, but I'm glad I have this shot as I don't know when are they ever going to pose again together. CJ is not letting his recent, little obsession off his cheeky grasp. He takes it with him everywhere. I sing him, "CJ has an Ultra

Saraburi, a province near Bangkok, is abloom with sunflowers this month. The place continues to be a panorama of gold until January. Night was falling fast when we arrived on the field, but we were squealing with delight when silhouette of the flowers came into view. A yellow beauty turns in. We had to see her at a brighter time of day... So came back we did in the morning, and a sea of bright constancy swept before our eyes. A Facebook friend mused, "... and I think to myself what a wonderful world!" This had me bursting to life more than any other sight in my world.

Musical Monday: Music of my Heart, NSYNC and Gloria Estefan Monday's Music Moves Me: Coward of the County, Kenny Rogers Please scroll down for Monday Mayhem Until last night after watching the film Music of the Heart, I listened but never paid attention to NYSYNC and Gloria Estefan's Music of my Heart. The lyrics are beautiful. This song moves me today. Amanda @ Bloggin with Amanda hosts Musical Monday Over at Monday's Music Moves Me there's a country music party. Well, who else to feature but my favoritest Kenny Rogers. I can't name a song of his that I don't like. Coward of the County has good advice, "You don't have to fight to be a man" and some thought to ponder, "Sometimes you got to fight when you're a man."

Our Weekend Memoirs: Mabuhay Restaurant Scroll down for Sunday Stealing A cousin and I went shopping in Pratunam this past weekend. There is a Filipino restaurant there where we had lunch. I was thinking of fall colors. Look at that Bopis. I wonder what's that - This one I know though: beef caldereta. At home I remember there's only one aunt who can cook caldereta well. The one who owns a carenderia, lol... Our sinigang... Operation Tangigi. Slurp! This buko salad is obviously imported. The ice cream taste is very pinoy. Cousin Vi took home the rest of the sinigang and I took care of the caldereta. I still have some leftover in my fridge right now. (Along with the rest of the food I can't consume duh) I'll go heat the bahaw.
