Abraham's 1st Drawing

Abraham’s first word is CAR. He has been in love with wheels ever since he was about 6 months old. Whenever he saw wheels he would always point at them and tried to make them go round.

Now, as part of 3-year old developments, he’s into coloring and ‘drawing’ things.
 And this is his first car that he drew himself! No help from Mom or Dad at all!!

ME and My Son

We were bored eating turkey for the past several days, so we decided to eat out. We tried this new restaurant downtown, since I was craving for 'red meat' (no bird please!!).

Before taking order, the Server were asking Abraham some questions such as 'How old are you' , 'What's your name?' and Abraham answered all the questions correctly. (sometimes Ab deliberately gives wrong answer..such as 'Gong Ging' or 'Goo Goo Gaa Gaa' for 'What's your name question etc).

Then the Server asked 'Should I take your order now?' (I was pretty sure her question this time was meant for the adults)

Before Me or My Hub answered, Abraham answered her first and firmly ' I want french fries!' .......

(The Server was pretty impressed by Abraham, since she has a 2-year-old too but she said Abraham is way well spoken than hers!)

The Gerber's Story

Sometime in 2006, after July, before October, I enrolled Abraham in Gerber Organic Contest online. The picture I chose was when he was about 6 months old. He was just crawling then.

Just before I left Indonesia, I received a notice stating that Abraham has won the contest, and that I should wait for further notice. When I was in Indonesia, I had my Hub to send me the paper works from Gerber to sign and return as part of the procedure before Gerber announced the Winner online.

On December 2006, just couple of weeks after We got back from Indonesia, Gerber's representative and their Photographer came to do photo shooting for Abraham. It was taken place in Holiday Inn Express in town.

In 2007, we finally can see the announcement online about the contest...

Gerber promised his picture would be in Organic Rice Box in Spring 2007. Spring passed, Summer passed, Fall was back, still no product found on the market. My patience evaporated. I tried calling Gerber, but nobody seemed to know what's going on. I even called Gerber's HQ in NY and left about 1000 messages, unanswered....

I was preparing a letter to be mailed to NY Post or any other newspaper about the case, when finally someone from Gerber called!! It was already 2008!

She finally found out the problem, promised us to get things straightened up.

March 2008, Gerber sent us some goodies and the copy of the pictures during the photo shooting...

Gerber said, they would still use Ab's pic and it should be in Gerber's Organic product, and it's expected to be out in the market on Fall 2008.

Then finally, today, November 11 2008, a UPS guy came carrying a huge box in front of our door. And here it is...........

 

It feels that We couldnt be any happier!!

It is a Gerber Organic Product- 6 pack of baby first food, assorted fruit and vegetables.

Me & My Son - Mr. Miley

Ab is into drawing faces (or should I say the emocotion). He calls it Mr. Miley (from Mr. Smiley).

Most of the times I am the one drawing them, sometimes he is. If I am the one who is drawing it, he will ask Me :'Mom, What's Mr. Miley doing?'

Then I will try to mimic what Mr. Miley is doing (whether he is smiling, winking, sticking his tongue, etc etc etc)

One of his favorite expression is ....as you can see below..

Me & My Son - Learning 'to read'

About a week ago I bought a complete set of magnetic letters of my Son's name (A-B-R-A-H-A-M). We put them in the refrigerator and ever since then, every morning we will spell the letter together and say 'ABRAHAM' out loud at the end.

Couple of days later I got some stuffs from my Parents, while still trying to sort things out, suddenly Ab said 'MOM! Look! This towel has my name on!!'

I looked and surely, there's a towel there with his name embroidered!

GOOD JOB, SON!

Me & My Son -Make up

Whenever I put on something on my face (even it's just my morning cream), then Abraham would ask 'Are you going to work Mom?'
(so he has made a connection between Me doing 'make up' means I would go to work).
This morning, I felt like wearing my lipstick on for no reason. As soon as Abraham saw it, he asked right away 'Are you going to work Mom?'
I said 'No'.
Then he asked again 'So , what's this Mom???' -while he pointing at my lips with the lipstick on!'
(lesson #1 : nope, cant fool a almost-3-year-old!, lesson#2 : you'd think they wont notice such things, you're wrong!)

Me & My Son - Making label

I just found our labeling machine. After putting some new batteries in it, I showed Ab how the machine works.
Then we started making 'sentences' and printed it out. Ab loved it! He liked pressing the A-B-C on the machine and waiting for the label to print.
I told him 'Let's make 'Ab loves Dad'.
So we did.
Then I asked him 'So, what do you want to make next?'
He answered 'Ab loves Mom!' (isnt that sweeeeeeeeeeett???!!!)
