Aquila and the Cow

Aqi and I in one of our feeding sessions.

A Funny Sounding Name

Was surprised to learn the other name of a flowering plant that we have here at home.

I call this flower Lantana but the other name pala is KANTUTAY.

Its leaves and flowers can be used as an herbal medication for cough by boiling 1 cup of chopped fresh leaves and flowers in 2 glasses of water for 15minutes.

Aqi Turns 1-Month Old

Aqi turned 1-month old last saturday, November10. We had a simple celebration at home. I bought pancit malabon, puto and tried out the Banofee pie of Red Ribbon.

Actually had a hard time taking this shot. This was the most decent one that i could take. I had to prop the camera somewhere and use the timer mode and Aqi's hat kept on falling.
Good thing my mom, dad and brother were very cooperative kahit gutom na sila.

Also, Aqi had his doctor's visit today. He now weighs 4.5 kgs and is now 53 cms long. He actually gained 1.6 kgs (or 3.5 lbs) in weight and 5 cm (1.9 inches) in height in a months time.
Pedia was happy with his progress. Yipee!!
