Happy Anniversary! (to me!)

Thank you WordPress for greeting me (and reminding me yesterday) on my 3rd year anniversary here. I totally forgot about it. I’m not so active lately as I am so busy with family life but I still check my blog regularly. I’m happy that I’m still around.

Thank you to all my fellow bloggers who liked, commented, and visited my blog. I truly appreciate it.

Thank you to my precious little darlings who always keep me busy but inspires me to be positive all the time.

Last but not the least, thank you God for everything – strength, patience, hope, and love to do what I am supposed to do as a mother.

Thank you for your visit. Have a blessed day!

Abby’s 1st Birthday

Posted on September 25, 2012 by imexcited

Dear darling Abby,

You turned one last Saturday and we had a party at home. Your dad’s friends and mine came and celebrated with us including their children. We all had fun. I hope you did too.

However during the party, you didn’t like being held by someone else except me or your dada. You would scream and cry when someone else try to hold or carry you. I know you are just shy and a little scared so I held you most of the time. Then you were fine. You smiled at our guests as long as they keep their hands off you.

Your dada and I helped you blow the candle on your cake. You were trying to touch it instead of blowing it.

We were told to give you a little piece of the cake as a sign of love. I gave you first and then your dad gave you another. You ate both pieces without a fuss. Fortunately you had a sweet tooth like me.

Your birthday party is not just in celebration of your birth but also in celebration of your baptism, and of course it is also a thanksgiving celebration – for having you in our lives, for your good health all year through, and for all the blessings that the good Lord had showered on our family since you were born. It was a wonderful celebration shared with our friends.

Happy birthday again my darling Abby. I love you and so does your dada. May God bless you always. Keep on smiling little one.

Lovelots,

Mommy

Happy 11 month Abby!

Happy eleven month to you my precious baby!!

I pray that God will continuously bless you with good health and that you will grow up to be smart and a good kid.

I love you and I will always tell you so. I am looking forward to hear you say “I love you too mommy!”. I wish to hear it as soon as tomorrow but I must be realistic, right?

Watching you crawl, sit, stand, play, make noises, smile, giggle, eat, clap your hands and everything else that you do is such a delight. I know that all babies do these things, yet when you do them, I am still amazed and I am so proud of you.

You used to enjoy sitting on my lap but not anymore. You want to explore and touch everything that your cute little hands can reach. You love to walk while holding on to the furnitures instead of using your walker. You can even stand on your own without any help and though you always fall just after few minutes, you still keep on standing up (sometimes you can even walk a few steps without holding on to something). I can see that you don’t give up easily and this is a good attitude my dear child. So keep it up.

Stay strong and beautiful my baby. I love you so much and so does your daddy.

Hugs and kisses,

Mommy

Abby First Before Anything Else

Posted on March 3, 2012 by imexcited

As Abby is growing taller, her voice and cries are becoming louder too. Her dada even teases and calls her ‘loud speaker‘. We both end up laughing when he says this while Abby (not knowing that we are teasing her) smiles nicely too. My cutie Abby.

Furthermore, Abby is demanding more of my attention and my time lately. She cries if she doesn’t see me around. Her musical toys can keep her occupied for some time but not for long. During day time, she sleeps in short periods of time. Gone are the days when all she does are eat and sleep, eat and sleep on and on and on.

Hence, sometimes the household chores are piling up despite all my efforts. I am a very patient person, I really am! However, I lost my patience and calmness yesterday. I am a bad mom in thoughts! Imagine, I got annoyed when Abby cried just because I was busy at the kitchen. I reprimanded myself immediately after feeling that way. I asked myself “who/what is more important – Abby or household chores?” Of course, you all know what my answer was. And that’s the story behind the title of this post. I should never get annoyed or feel disturbed while busy doing house chores when Abby demands my attention. She is my priority. House chores can wait.

Actually, the origin of “Abby first before anything else” motto is from my mother’s “Stomach first before anything else” motto. It has nothing to do with me as a baby though. It’s all about filling your empty stomach first before doing any household chores. Great motto, right? It does make sense, eat first so you avoid ulcer plus you have the energy to do the chores.

I already whispered sorry to Abby (and lots of hugs) but I want to say it again, sorry baby! I am not annoyed at you, I got annoyed with your cries but still I shouldn’t because you’re my baby. I know you’re a good girl. I know that soon you will understand and behave when I asked you to. I love you baby.
