Benigno Erasmo David

Thanks to Ninang Lisa, my Christmas gift came early! I love it!

Santa Benig made his first appearance today at an Armenian Church Christmas Bazaar in Cambridge.  He was the hit of the bazaar, receiving several complements on his stylish outfit.  The highlight for Santa Benig was meeting his mentor; he could barely contain his excitement.

Our neighbors’ cat, Tini, has a fascination with Benig. Benig does not seem to be returning the love.

Today I started rolling from front to back!  Mom and Dad usually keep me on the bed or table, but with my new skill, I now have to play on my puzzle-piece mat on the floor. No chronic traumatic encephalopathy for me!

I can almost hit an overhead.

Also, my family is crazy. Daddy made the tennis ball mobile himself after learning that Andre Agassi’s dad made one for him as a baby. Mommy, Lola Neneng, Ninang Anna and Ninang Steph all supported the idea. I have no protection.

It’s getting harder to hold Benig’s cheeks when you burp him. There’s just too much to hold.

I cannot stand to play with this toy anymore.

I don’t think I can hold my arms out when I am awake the way Benig does when he sleeps. It almost seems deliberate; Lola Neneng can’t guide his arms anywhere else!
