Witness The First Few Steps I made

I am walking! I am walking! I thought it would be a while before I can walk because when we left Texas, I was still crawling although I was standing up and not holding on to something but couldn't make my step.

Here in the Philippines, it's too crowded and I see all the people surrounding me are walking and for me it's very challenging. There is this woman who is a family friend and she steals me from my mother every morning during the first week of our stay here and she let me walk on a rough surface. I as a baby not used to it, trying my very best to walk and not to fall down for it really is hard on my knees. At first, it was hard making my first steps, but days passed and the training went on, I learned to love it and that is why I am proud to say I AM WALKING!

I got few video footages that mom took in their ugly house capturing myself enjoying doing my big achievement, walking. Watch them and leave me your big round of applause before you leave my page.

My Birthday Videos

Watch my birthday videos, sorry it's late to share my footage it's because mom is lazy! Enjoy the inasal guys!

One Year Milestone

My life here in the Philippines is so busy. Mommy's friends keep inviting us to meet us just to see my pretty face. I have met a couple of them and they all like me, that is what I believe. Some people I want them to carry me, others I don't like them, they look scary hehe!

Anyways, just a quick update of my progress being a year old now. I am gonna post some photos of me caught in the act holding the phone pretending I am talking to my dada. The things I can capable of doing now are:

1.walking although I stumble sometimes but I get up or crawl after that

1. nows what comb is for, I comb my hair each time I see itthe phone is to communicate and for the ear... when I have a chance, I grab mom's cellphone and bring it to my ear saying "dada.. dada..da"
2. good at climbing up the stairs


3. I now have a bangkil, another one coming out

..having a conversation with mommy but only her can understand her words...


...her first word, LIGHT=ATTSS ATTSS



.... baby she dance..she dance..she dance..

My First Word Is Att/s = Light

Yeppeeyyy! JUmping for joy! Cheers people! Finally mommy and daddy heard the first word I utter tonight although I have been practicing days ago but it is just so clearly spoken tonight. I amazed my parents again tonight. I can now speak a word before I could even turn one year!!!

MY FIRST WORD IS ATTtttt= LIGHT. It may not sound it but it is what I mean it, the light! Each time my mommy or daddy would ask me "where's the light?" I would turn my head and point at the light saying ATTTTttt... attttt.. and keep repeating it until I get tired of saying the same word.

Next to it is the MAP... dad taught me what light is and then mom showed to me the map of Texas. So my second word is APPP...app means MAP. I did two amazing things tonight. MAP AND LIGHT which for my parents is quite a success for me. Now they have a reason to celebrate and give me presents! Yeppeeyyy! Video of me speaking ATTT will follow...

My Very First Post Of The Year

So how you all doing? Big and small people hellloooooo? So this post tonight is going to be my very first post of the year 2009. Wow, I believe I have gone very far in my blogging now. I started blogging since Jesus planted me in mom's womb in the old and original blog I had at Bravejournal. Thank God I am surviving writing all my development here.

Anyways, I would like to tell you that I am so fortunate being born in this world for I cannot ask for better parents than my dad and mom. They are doing good in raising me. As I grow older, I became a lovable, good and happy baby that everybody loves. As we were about to face the New Year, ako pud gi sugat ug pagka tam-is tam-is nga pahiyom palihi sa bag-ong tuig! Proof are the photos!

Wow That Was Awesome!!!

We got home half an hour ago from our New Year's dinner at Flying Fish restaurant, both mom and dad's prefered restaurant. After the nice dinner, mom ordered daddy to drive us to Hillcrest, a rich neighborhood is found so I can see the most spectacular display of lights in rich people's yard

Before I was born, dad drove mom to that same neighborhood so she could see the lights. They made it a tradition to drive over there in two consecutive Christmasses already and now it's my mom's third Christmas and my first.

Watch the footage of me and my mom under the sparkling lights. You can hear my laughters so real, so geniune for I was overwhelmed of what I saw. I felt like I was in heaven for a while. Mom thought seeing me so happy like that was just PRICELESS and oh so PRECIOUS!

Bad Mommy, Making Fun Of Me

I forgive my mommy for feeling bored at home. It's not the same as her life before she got to America. She spent most of her time with me everyday in this lonely house. One day when she got realllly bored, she just grabbed her eye pencil and make fun of my face that turned me into little and cute kitty.

I am kind of amused of the result though because I look cute of my make up.

Me And My Choo Choo Toy

I got this big ride choo choo train that I don't ride often. It is just sitting in the computer room and I only play with it when I feel like playing. Most of the time I just love playing with the alphabet blocks that comes with it and put it in the whole on top of the train.

When daddy took this footage of me, I still couldn't drop the block to the hole properly for this was weeks ago. Now, I am able to do it perfectly that makes my parents both delighted when I do it. Watch me playing and dancing a bit in this video here and I welcome any comments you may have.

Brushing My Teeth

So this is what I am up to now. Brushing my teeth at 11 months is just as enjoyable as sucking milk in the crib. Each time mom give me a bathe, she will hand me my toothbrush with baby toothpaste in it. I remember the first time I used it, I was like a tail of a lizard that just separated from its body for I was like "nag iktin iktin maayo".

However, after the first time, I've learned to love the feel of the bristles in my gums and in my two teeth. When mommy hand me the brush during shower time, I would just gladly grab it and do my job cleaning my mouth. See, I'm just a good baby that is easy to deal with... all the time!

.... see the picture? am I doing it correctly mom?
... brushing teeth is soooooo fun to do.. can you tell I am loving it?
.... caught in action... brushing my gum thoroughly so I can have pearly white teeth and clean gums free from periodontal disease.

My Christmas Presents from Mom and Dad

When we went shopping for toys last week, I was with my mommy and daddy and I think I saw what they got for me for Christmas. However, I don't remember what it was, you know I only have short attention span when it comes to things so I've totally forgotten what they bought for me.

Mom was so anxious giving me the gifts on the 24th but daddy stopped her from doing that because he wants me to open it on the 25th. Yes and it came true. On Christmas day, after long hours of trip to where my granpa lives, I finally see and opened the gifts for me. It's my first Christmas ever so it is just right for them to give me something to remember this year. Look at the photos I share here and enjoy! HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

My First Time On Santa's Lap

I never knew that Santa Claus is very popular during Yuletide season until one day, we'd fallen in line just to have a picture taken with him. It was ridiculous because we have waited in line for two and a half hours for just one picture of me on Santa's lap.

It was such a long day for all three of us yesterday at the mall. We arrived at a wrong time because it was between Santa's rest time and there we've waited too long until they open the session again. Well, anyways, mom thinks that I am worth the hassle for it only happens once a year plus it's my first Christmas this year. I don't think my dad was happy about the idea we took yesterday as it was so much work for him. He is supposed to be relaxed and resting at home on his day off but what mom got into him? Falling in a very loooooong line at the mall.

... I wasn't too scared of Santa.. unlike other children out there

... daddy making sure that Santa is a nice man and a toy-giver...
... yeeyy success, a good photo of me and Santa for remembrance of this year's Christmas

11 Months Old Me

So as I grow older, my parents, friends and people that surround me grow fonder and fonder of me everyday especially my parents. Why? Because I am more of a talkative little baby now wherever I go. My voice is just as loud and clear as a thunder even when we are at a grocery store. My mom will be in the other side of the building while dad is pushing me on the cart yet mommy still can hear myself talking, wandering, looking at different faces of people and kids that is pleasing to her ears.

Aside from that, I am becoming more prettier and looking mestisahin now. Everybody else noticing my pinkish cheeks and so does my skin, showing more of a mixed baby.

What amazed them the most is that I can perfectly understand what a word "NO" means. When they say that, I stop what I am about to do and listen to either mom or dad for I know if I insist it's gonna cause me harm.

Cheers for me folks! I am now 11 months old but still crawling. I swear mom and dad try their best to teach me and practice me how to walk but I am not prepared for it yet. Time will come though that they'll get tired chasing after me once I can fully take control of myself and walk outside the door and run off the street. So they better look forward to that.

Ok, I think I talk too much this time. Let me end this posting abruptly as I don't want to bore my readers out there! By the way, sharing you all a pic of me and my playmate that mom capture months ago.

Little Baby In Christmas Outfit

Forgive the mess behind the first photos I have here. Dad took quick snaps of me without even tidying up the bed first because he's afraid I'm gonna move, change position and skip the cute pose I have. Good thing he did not hesitate to click the camera and voila! He got me in perfect position sitting on the bed playing that little Santo Nino thingy.... hmmppp suya si Cathy katong nanaway naku sauna kay guapa na kaayo ko karon bahala upaw ko!
... just plain gorgeous... PERIOD!


.... me on mom's lap drinking baby's beer at the Fil-Am party last night


..at home about to change my dress... ABSOLUTELY BIG ROUND BEAUTIFUL EYES!
