Ten Things on my 10th Month

On my 10th month birthday at the church!

Yesterday, I officially turned 10 months. Hurray for me! Two more months and I'll be a year old already! I had my fill of a lot of firsts and here's ten more interesting bits about me not that I am ten months!

Having a grand time crawling in my alphabet mat!
Mommy even helped me spell my name!

1. I can now CRAWL like a pro!
2. I'm beginning to stand on my own two feet!


See, I can stand already!



3. I now have four teeth. Two more are promising to show anytime soon! :D
4. I love talking! I babble away everytime Mom and Dad talks to me!
5. I love my cartoons but I cry each time Symfollies is shown. It is actually a very nice show for kids and plays classical music, which is perfect! But I guess seeing musical instruments come to life if kind of scary for me at my age. I just get a fright and would cry my heart out while looking at them! And I would then call my Mommy so she can hug me and kiss away my fright.


This is Stradi. One of the leading characters in the show. He is a cello, I think.



6. I love hugging my pillows! Each time Mommy or Daddy says "Hug hug the pillow, Sam!", I would grab the nearest small pillow and hug it!
   
7. Hands clapping fascinate me so that I would also try to clap my hands! I can only manage clapping my right hand to mommy's other hand though. It's more like successive high fives than a clap!
   
8. I love oranges! I especially love Japanese oranges called mikan because they are seedless and the juice is very east to squeeze out!
9. I love to experiment with the buttons on the cable TV controller. I especially enjoy pushing the power button countless times while watching the TV screen going blank and then lighting up again!
   
10. I'm almost 80cm now! And HEAVY too! Add up the winter clothes that I have on and Mommy is sure to complain of sore arms. And yes, I can wave goodbye too! Like a beauty queen! :D

What Did I Receive for Christmas?

Christmas was a very exciting one for me. It being my FIRST ever! On Christmas Eve, we went to a yakiniku restaurant for dinner. Mommy and Daddy were busy grilling their food for dinner! I didn't get to eat though because I still cannot have grilled meat. Not yet good for my little tummy! But I did have fun watching the smoke...

Looks yummy and smells good! I hope they'll give me some!

Oh yes, my Daddy can cook too!

I got hungry watching Mommy and Daddy eat!
So here I am, drinking my bottle of milk! I fell asleep in the process. :D

After dinner, it was time to go home. And it was my turn to have fun opening my gifts! It was really exciting!

I looked a little bewildered here. I was supposed to be excited! Hehe!
Perhaps, the gifts overwhelmed me.

Lots of gifts from Mom, Dad and Ninang Jo and Ninang Jess!

My new phone from Mommy and Daddy. They finally got me one
because I keep using theirs!

Look, red shoes! Thanks Ninang Jo for this nice pair of Osh Kosh!

Happy with my new phone and fluffy scarf.

What was my favorite gift, you might ask? It's my Mommy and Daddy! Their LOVE and CARE are more than enough for me!

So, what did you receive for Christmas?

www.friendship Award

I got this tag from Tita Nancy of Peaceful Mind yesterday. Sorry po if I only posted this now. I had been quite busy spending time with mommy and daddy, watching my favorite cartoons nonstop, going out for drives and visiting places, and cleaning the house and rearranging the bedroom (with me messing everything again! :D)!


I would like to share this award to all of my great blogger friends!

Good tidings to all of you this Holiday season!

Happy Birthday Pretty Mommy Umma!

Today, our dearest Mommy Umma is celebrating her Birthday! All of us have planned to surprise her with this online gift. I hope that she will love this!

1. What's your first impression on umma?
Mommy Umma is very pretty. She has a nice smile!

2. After you've known her, did that impression change?
Nope! Mommy Umma still is pretty. Her smile is true!

3. What song will you sing to her aside from "Happy Birthday" and why?
"What are little girls made of?" I wonder how Mommy Umma looked when she was still a baby like me...

4. If Umma is a flower, what will she be? why?
A Red Rose. Beautiful and blooming!

5. When you meet Umma in person, what's the first word that you would say?
Mamam!

6. When you look at her picture, what can you say about her personality?
She is friendly and has a sunny personality.

7. How do you describe Umma as a friend online?
Mommy Umma is very thoughtful. And she sees to it that she knows how I am. Oh yes, she loves my photos too and encourages me to post some more...

8. What do you think of her as a mother?
I think Mommy Umma is a great mother. You can see it by how Yeung Lei is growing.

9 . What do you think of her posts and why?
I think her posts are sometimes funny and are realistic because they are based on life experiences. Sometimes, I can relate to her posts in a baby's point of view. :D

10. What is your birthday wish for umma?
May God's blessings of good health, peace, joy and love be with you always Mommy Umma. Enjoy your birthday!

And Now I'm CRAWLING!

Yup! You read it right! I can crawl now... PROPERLY that is! I mentioned before that I still stumble and drop on the surface each time I try to make two crawls. It started last Saturday, the 20th during my 9-month regular check-up. The doctor put me on my stomach and he asked my mommy to call me. Of course, I was crying then because I do not know the doctor's face. I am afraid of strangers, you see. When mommy called me, I crawled towards her with all my might and they were indeed very surprised because I crawled perfectly! From then on, I can crawl very well! Mommy said it was a blessing in disguise. Hehehe!

Hurray for me! I have reached yet another milestone! Thank you Papa Jesus!

My Wish for ALL of YOU

Hello everyone! Only two days more till Christmas! Me, Daddy and Mommy would like to wish everyone a joyous and wonderful Christmas! Let us not forget to pray and thank Him for all the wonderful blessings that we received this year! God bless you all!

My FIRST Christmas

I am little Santa's elf!

Christmas is just days away! And I am just excited to spend it with my mommy and daddy since it will only be just the three of us on that day! Because my great grandmother just died, Mommy only had a few Christmas decors in the house. She wanted to make things simple while still keeping with the holiday spirit.

So what's for Christmas? Well, we will attend mass on Christmas Day to say our prayers and thank Papa Jesus for all the wonderful blessings we received this year. We might go to Disney Sea too if the weather is fine on the 25th. And of course, there is the exchanging of gifts! Mommy insisted on it even if there is just the three of us here! And I am excited to go Christmas shopping tomorrow. There really is just no rush here since people don't actually celebrate it the way we Christians do. I wonder what mom and dad will give me for Christmas. I guess I'll just have to wait and see!

Sleeping Me

I must admit I've been sleeping a lot lately! The cold weather is just perfect for those morning and afternoon naps! And when I sleep, I end up in odd and unusual positions. Mommy had to move me after I've snoozed to dreamland so that I won't wake up with a stiff neck or a cramped arm. :D

Break dancing while sleeping!

Just the perfect position to sleep when your tummy's aching!

I just want to sleep in peace! No photos please!

An awkward and final bow... Pangu the penguin was mimicking me too!

Babbling Me

I am now learning the art of speech and discovered it was fun to hear my own voice. Hope you enjoy this video of me babbling nonsense to my mommy. But would you believe that I could be saying so profound words here? Mommy and rest of the world is just too old to understand. *wink!*

The RUBIKS Craze, Or Maybe NOT!

DO you know why I look so unhappy here?

Because I cannot quite figure out how this thing works! :(

Hmm... There a green one that's in the wrong side of the cube.

I got the greens all right, I'm in a better mood now... but....

Oh, mommy, I give up! Could you please give me another
toy to play with? I'll finish the cube when I'm older and wiser. ;)

Wooottt!

Hello everyone! Hope all is well with all of you! I am just happy to see my blog's image shown as one of the popular blogs in my category in Entrecard. And it's all because of YOU, my dearest visitors and advertisers and EC droppers! Thanks so much for all the love and constant visit. Big HUGS to all!

Studying German

So, what's been keeping me busy lately? I'm actually studying... German Grammar. It's a lot more difficult even at first glance! Mommy is giving up already! Hehehe!

A new book to read and explore and TEAR apart! Wheee!

Leafing through the first page and then on to the last page! DONE!

I'm going to skip the pronunciation... I can only say DI, GIG, ME and Heee and
a bunch of inaudible sounds and babbles for now.


Just leafing through. Everything is a BLUR for me. *Wink!*

Happy weekend everyone!

-START COPYING HERE-
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a powerful Genie Princess named Mariuca who was known throughout the land as the friendliest, most popular blogger in the blogosphere kingdom. Adored and admired by international visitors and commentators from around the world, the Genie Princess travels the blogosphere on her magical flying carpet, always looking for ways to share her good fortune with others.Over the past two years of blogging, Mariuca has met so many new people, from all walks of life and all over the world, each one bringing a little of their culture and lifestyle when they visit and comment on Mariuca’s two sites. So on her 2nd Blog Anniversary, Mariuca wanted to celebrate with all of her international blogosphere buddies by hosting a bear-naming contests at Wishing On A Falling Star and Mariuca’s Perfume Gallery and to pass her two lucky, cuddly teddy bears along to the winners who came up with the best names.On the opposite side of the world, from the moment Roxy (the prolific Roxiticus Desperate Housewives blogger) and her sweet daughters London and Maddie saw the teddy in his personalized t-shirt and blue muffler at Wishing On A Falling Star, they knew that he needed to come to live with their family in Mendham, NJ. The three New Jersey girls named him immediately and burst into a wonderful song for BEAR-iuca:BEAR-iuca, BEAR-iuca, amazing teddy cheer.BEAR-iuca, BEAR-iuca, we’d love you to come live here!Mariuca received 16 possible names for the Mariuca Teddy Bear, making it hard for the Genie Princess to choose just one…then Alakazam! A bolt of lightning delivered the perfect way to share BEAR-iuca’s good fortune to bloggers around the globe. While the soft, stuffed, cuddly BEAR-iuca is on his way to live with Roxy, London, Maddie and Rex in the Roxiticus Valley, the Spirit of BEAR-iuca is racing through the blogosphere to bring happiness, holiday cheer, and beary best wishes to everyone who welcomes him into their online home and passes along the BEAR-iuca good luck charm to ten friends.Please play along with us by following a few important rules:1.

Head Wear Blues

You might say that I enjoy wearing hats... but actually, I only allow my mommy to put one on my head when we go out to keep myself from getting a cold. Yes, I don't like wearing one at all. I would allow the hat, headband, or bonnet to be on my head for a few minutes but beyond than that, and you are sure to see me squirming or crying or taking it off myself.

Beginning to get uncomfy with this thing on my head.

Duh! Please take the hoodie off mommy!

There! I finally got it off my head!

My signature take-that-thing-off-my-head move!

Now I'm crying! I just can't get the hat off my head.

See what I mean?
