Dear Baby,

Hello, baby!!!

You’re now asleep as Mommy writes this. I couldn’t wait to tell how you made Mommy proud today! You just said your first English sentence “I DON’T LIKE!” Hahaha. You really shocked me and your lola ninang when you said those words. Where did you learn that? How did you learn that?

Mommy was trying to fix your hair with the clip, and you wanted to remove the clip from your hair. As I was fixing your  hair, you tried to remove my right hand as you said those words “I DON’T LIKE!” Haha. Impressive, really, you are! You said your first English sentence at 15months! WOW.

As your lola ninang was about to leave the house, you were the first one who waved your hand (meaning, bye-bye). Did you also say these words, “Can I come?” or just “I come”? Really, we heard that, too! Hahaha.

WOWOWOW.

Last night, you surprised us, too, when you said, “edi, edi, edi”. I wondered was what it you were saying when I realized that you were chanting, “Alvin, Alvin, Alvin”, from the movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks. You also mimicked the way the chippets were singing with matching action of your hand — you were pointing your fingers upward. Hahaha. You’re impressive!

Mommy’s so proud of you, baby, and so is Daddy.

iloveyou,

mommy

Dear Baby,

Wow, it’s morning again! Haha. Mommy can only write you letters after midnight. I just finished cleaning our kitchen. A new maid is coming over tomorrow. I hope she’s THE ONE.

How are you, baby? You must be very tired. We got home after mass at around 10p.m. already.

At the mass, you sang! Haha. So cute, really, because you were hitting the notes!

You ate chocolate at Pad’s office.

You also consumed half-box of the choco-drink.

And, Daddy forgot to brush your teeth. He was the one who cleaned you up before bedtime. Mommy forgot to tell Daddy, too. Anyway, I’ll wipe your teeth with a clean cloth, in a few minutes.

Yesterday morning, you amazed Mommy because it was your first time to get down from the sofa. Mommy was busily cooking (good thing, you weren’t at the kitchen when the fry pan (with boiling oil) fell down from the gas stove — thank God!) when you’re at the door waiting for me! Haha. You’re so cutie! How did you get down from the sofa on your own? Daddy was amazed, too, because he witnessed it last night. He said that you went down from the sofa effortlessly. WOW.

You amazed us, too, when, for the second time (that I witnessed it), you drank your choco drink like a pro. You drank it without the straw (direct from the box, from the small hole so had to pull your head back to drink the choco).

Time flies so fast, really. Everyday you’re showing your developments. I thank the Lord for giving me the opportunity to witness your antics, tricks, and funny moments.

This is all for now, baby. It’s almost four in the morning. Mommy needs to sleep now.

iloveyou,

mommy

Dear Baby,

How are you, baby?

You were very tired last night. We strolled around the mall for 13 hours!

This morning, Daddy and Mommy were laughing so hardly. We were all watching the movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 at the part that the Chippets and Chipmunks met for the first time wherein all of their eyes were flashing like Cupid just hit the hearts of the three pairs, when you suddenly flashed your eyes, too, for several times! Hahaha.

You’re such a darling, baby.

This is all for now. Mom’s so hungry…

iloveyou,

mommy

Dear Baby,

Howdy, baby! You’re sleeping now. As usual, here’s Mommy writing a letter for you. I should have written you this letter a few days back, but, Mom’s very busy.

Did you know that today we (Daddy, Mommy, and you) ate at your small table for a change? Oh, not just for a change, actually, it’s more of making you feel eating time should be in a table. You don’t actually want your high chair anymore. You’d prefer standing on your high chair, or, rather, seat on top of your high chair! Good thing Mommy thought of letting you use your small (alphabet) table this noon. Whoala, and Daddy thought of eating there, too. Mommy followed. We took pictures! Haha. You’re so adorable, baby. You kept on going near the camera so majority of our pics then only got your face. You somehow ate well. Wow. That’s great. Dinner time somehow went well, too. I wish you’re always like that…We all ate there again.During the weekdays, we’d love to eat with you again in your small table, at least twice a day.

I want to tell you some interesting things and tricks you did this week. And you really amazed Daddy and Mommy!

Here goes:

When we’re at the McDonald’s, an Arab woman called her kids and said, “Taal! Taal!” We were too shocked when you mimicked her, “Taal! Taal!”, in the same accent and loud voice of the woman! Haha. You’re such a darling, baby. Read the rest of this entry »
