Rolling Over

Dear Addy,

Hello baby!

sweetaddy

While you were lying down on the bed yesterday morning, I noticed that you managed to turn to your side. I told you ‘very good Addy!’ like I always say whenever you do something good. I also thought, ‘Wow, my darling daughter is strong! For sure, she will roll over soon.’ I didn’t think though that it will happen on the same day.

Yes, to my surprise you rolled over yesterday afternoon and you are only 3 months and ten days!

I didn’t expect it so soon because your sister did it when she was more than 5 months old. Though I know that all babies do not develop at the same time, I still didn’t expect it.

Of course, I was so happy and proud of you. When I told your daddy about it and even showed him, he was also delighted.

After your first roll over, you were unstoppable. You kept doing it. When you get tired, you cry and that’s a signal for me to help you lie down on your back again.

Stay strong baby. Keep surprising me and daddy and grow up soon so that you can play with your sister who loves to shower you with kisses everyday. We all love you very much baby.

Love,

Mommy

Daily Prompt – Name that…You!

Do you know the meaning of your name, and why your parents chose it? Do you think it suits you? What about your children’s names?

I don’t know the meaning of my name, not until today. Actually, I thought my name has no meaning but when I googled it because of this prompt, I found out that my name means ‘bitter, famous warrior’. Do I think it suits me? I don’t think so. Well, maybe in the past I have been bitter but I’ve changed and matured. I became a better person.

I also don’t know why my parents chose my name. I should ask my mother next time I call her.

My children’s names are Abigail and Adeline. My hubby and I chose these names because they mean something. Abigail means ‘father’s joy’ while Adeline means ‘noble’. I love their names. I hope they will too.

Share Your World 2013 – Week 26

Here are the questions and my answers for this week’s SYW :

Are you left or right handed?  I wish I am  both left and right handed but  I am only right handed.

Before making a phone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? It depends who I’m calling. If I’m calling a family member or a friend then I don’t rehearse at all but if I’m calling to inquire about something in a certain company then I rehearse.

Crunchy Peanut Butter or Smooth Peanut butter?   Anything with your peanut butter? I prefer Smooth Peanut Butter.

How many rings before you answer the phone? I usually answer my phone as soon as I hear it ringing.

For your main meal do you prefer sweet and sour, hot and spicy, spicy and sweet, bitter, salty, bland or other?
Sweet and sour or a bit spicy.

Do you prefer eating things with nuts or no nuts?
I can eat whatever is available, my taste buds are not picky specially if we are referring to chocolate.

For potlucks or parties do you cook it yourself, buy from a grocery store, or pay for catering?  It depends. I usually cook it myself but if I don’t have the time to cook then I would order from the restaurant.

Hello Adeline!

We are happy to finally see and hold you,

We are thankful that you are healthy and safe,

Welcome to the world little angel, and

Looking forward to spending time with you,

To see you smile,

To hear your giggles and laugh,

To watch you move, crawl, and walk,

To hear your voice and when you can finally talk,

I’m sure that daddy and I will be hearing lots of amusing words.

We can’t wait to see you grow but we must be patient.

So all we ask for now is that you’ll stay healthy and

try not to worry mommy and daddy, okay?

We love you baby Addy!

This scenery reminds me of home.

This is ‘Kalabaw’ (in Tagalog) or ‘Carabao’ (in English), reminds me of my childhood. I grew up with my grandparents and they used to have some of these Kalabaws.

I’m Excited to See You Addy

Dear Addy,

Hi baby!

Your daddy once asked me why I am not writing letters to you like I did with your sister. He asked me “Are you not excited?” and I replied “of course I am excited!” Addy, you are a blessing and a gift from God to us. You are our second baby but it doesn’t mean we love you less. We love you as much as we love Abby. Always remember that.

Though I didn’t write you as often as I have written to your ate Abby when she was still in my tummy, I do talk to you all the time and so does your sister and daddy. We are all excited to see you, to hold you, to kiss you and to talk to you. And that will be soon.

You know your sister knows your name already and she says “love you sister” often. I’m sure you two will get along well and will have lots of fun time together. Daddy and I can’t wait to watch you two play and talk to each other.

We all love you baby. My family and your dad’s family are all praying for both of us. Please help mommy, okay? Come out when it’s time for you to be born and in a normal way, nicely and quickly.

So see you soon baby Addy! Stay healthy.

Love,

Mommy
