Dear Jaco,

You had this love-hate relationship with bathing. Nevertheless, noone could argue how good you look posing on your tub like that. When Nanay and Tatay were your age, they didn't make tubs like that for us. Soon, we will let you experience bathing in the rain. Maybe you'll love bathing more.

Dear Jaco,

At 3 months, you already had a variety of facial expression. Your Tatay and our friends will tell you "You're so much like your Nanay". Believe them.

Sometimes anak, what we can't speak of, we say with our eyes. I pray that your eyes will only carry truth and beauty.

Dear Jaco,

You won't believe how ecstatic I felt the first time you flashed this big smile. It's like your first real happy picture.

I pray that I never forget this smile of yours. And that I see more versions of it in the years to come.
