A blog for my son

January 14, 2010 Write a Comment Fatherhood, Promote

I started a new public blog to record the growth of my son, Bjorn Carlos. Point your browser to bjorncarlos.blogspot.com. Excited to fill its pages with photos, videos and everything that I and my wife could come up with in celebrating the life with our first born.

If you are as excited as we are then become a follower of the blog through Google Friend Connect that’s on the sidebar of the blog.

Here’s the batch that I took while my son, Bjorn Carlos Cabuhay-Dael, was still in Silliman University Medical Center’s nursery.

It’s true that words are short in explaining the level of happiness when I first saw my son.

 

Welcome to the world, Bjorn Carlos!

I received the best Christmas gift two days earlier.

A son.

Thanks to my wife’s enduring the challenges of childbirth without me on her side. I was a minute short upon arrival as she’s already moved to the delivery room – and having a friend inside did not even hinted a chance of getting in – so I have to wait. I’m waiting with my two aunts and mother-in-law. I don’t know if it was instinct or a powerful invisible language between a father and a son told me to walk over to the nursery to see my son being transported from the delivery to the nursery room. The feeling was nothing that I could ever explain before it happened. It is happiness at its best!

I was given full authority by my wife for the name and I loved her more for that!

The name is Bjorn Carlos. Bjorn has been the name that I wanted to be my own. It stands for bear. A strong and lovable symbol. Carlos is a tribute to my grandfather.

Welcome to the world, Bjorn Carlos!

 

Fatherhood: Visual art for baby

December 8, 2009 4 comments Fatherhood

Here’s me holding another paintbrush after eight years or more. The last piece I made was a watercolor art of Santa Claus on a bond paper that many years ago, and that cheap, but it was done on pure passion of creating something beautiful and giving. I did offer help for my then girlfriend, now wife, when she tried on a scenery piece that if I’m right was a mix of watercolor and color pastel sometime three years ago but that wasn’t mine entirely so let’s agree on counting that off. :)

This one I’m doing it with much consciousness of introducing my son, as early as now(8-month old in her mama’s nurturing womb), in appreciating the wonders of colors and emotions. The gallery below shows the order of how I created the character in our room. How it evolved. Notice how the knife on his gizmo belt evolved into something sweet.

I also posted these photos at my Facebook account. (Continued…)
