revive me

I've neglected this blog for awhile, for a long time actually. We've manged to go to OZ and back without updating this one. Anyway, with my new time management scheme, I'm hoping to be able to revive this blog and make it live up to its title. Watch out.

telling everyone

Who wouldn't want to show and tell the whole world about the new member of the family? As a mom, I know how it is to be uber proud of our bundle of joy. After all, I am one proud and doting mother to a two year and a half old little girl. She is my world, my life and my everything. If I could do it over again, I would definitely send out handy baby announcement cards to everyone I know the time she came to light up our lives. I didn't get to do this actually to my regret. But I would definitely love to the next time I become a mom again which I hope to be really sooner.

I did however got the chance to send out baby photo invitations for our little girl's baptism to close friends. Oh, and how they loved them! I got all sorts of compliments. The photo birth invitations were a hit. They had a very personal touch so I find them as the perfect way to tell our family and friends about our much awaited awaited beautiful baby. Don't you think so too?

happy halloween

Pictures of our little bumblebee ....

halloween program

Sophia's first ever school program is done yesterday. Toddlers Unlimited had their "Teenie Halooweenies" Program yesterday and here's the link to the very SHORT video I took from my digital camera. I was the photographer while Jon was the videographer, doting parents I may say :)

all about the little girl now

Went to ATC to get a jacket and a few tees for myself but I ended up getting these for the little girl...

• orange lounge pants
• cargo mini skirt
• pink tank top
• peach blouse
• skinny jeans
• an over-all / jumpsuit (or whatever you call it)
• havaianas

I just love shopping for the little girl. Its always about her now ....

she's back

The little girl is back to school after two long weeks. She badly missed her friends and teachers. Here are her pics this morning on the way to school...

Meet ALICE.

I can't wait to get these for me and Sophia ....

unwell

I'm trying to squeeze in blogging as the little girl takes her afternoon nap. She isn't fully well still. Far from it, actually. She had fever again this morning. I've been closely monitoring her now and so far no fever again. I hope tuloy tuloy na or I'll lose my mind already. I really hate the feeling when Sophia gets sick. I know all mommies can relate to me.

IF Sophia gets hot again when she wakes up later, I'm definitely taking her to the hospital na for blood tests etc... Hay, I HOPE wag naman. She has a bad cough by the way. She almost always vomits after she eats because uubuhin siya. Hay, pumayat na nga :(

I'm now keeping my fingers crossed, hoping for the best. Will let you all know.

online shopping

These arrived today. Just in time for our Australia Trip come October 30 :) I bet the little girl will look mighty adorable in these ;p

what's with the glasses?

My little girl can't get enough of her pink glasses! Lookie!

sunglasses all the way!

She loves her sunglasses! She was wearing them the whole time while in class. Her teachers thought it was hilarious!

The little girl was wearing a baby dress today for school care of her Ninang Ivy. Thanks, Ninang!

Can't get a decent picture of the little girl, ang likot!

sick girl

The little girl is down with a low grade fever and a cold. Blame it on the erratic weather we are having. Grabe - mainit, malamig, mainit, malamig. Hay ... :(

one sunday afternoon

We took the little girl to her "tayma" for a visit. We all came home with "angpaos" after ;) Even yaya!

when sophia met cinderella

Sophia, together with the kids and teachers of Toddlers Unlimited Alabang went to watch the Musical Play Cinderella for Kids at the “on-stage” in Greenbelt last Friday. Jon dropped me, Sophia and yaya while he went somewhere to meet a friend. We left the house at 9am and we arrived in Greenbelt after 30 minutes. The show will not start until 10:30am pa. We were an hour early so we ate at Jollibee first and there were sure a lot of kids with their mommies and yayas waiting for the show just like us. We went in around 10:15am and the show started on time. We had good seats; we were on the third row from the stage. Tickets, by the way, were super cheap lang :)

My little girl was such a darling the entire show. She was just sitting on her own seat as she gets wide-eyed with almost every scene (with a little comments here and there like “why is Cinderella not wearing slippers, mommy?”, “where is Cinderella?”, “bad bad bad sisters!”). The show was really nice. I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. I love how they incorporated audience participation during the show itself like when “Prince Charming” went around having kids try on Cinderella’s glass slipper. Oh, the kids had a blast. Take your little girls to the show if you have time and I’m sure they’ll enjoy it (that is if they are fond of Cinderella or are familiar with her story at least).

Here are Sophia’s pictures with the cast ….

This was the little girl's outfit today for school.

warning

This blog's going to be picture heavy as I'm thinking of posting Sophia's every outfit whenever we got out as long as I have the time to take a pic (and if the girl cooperates :) ).

Watch out.
