On My Own

Time flies so fast... Last month was just All Saints and Souls Days, now only 17 days to go before Christmas and I'll be 9th month old.
We celebrated "Undas 2005" in Pampanga. We went to Magalang to visit our dead relatives. Before going there, I had some pictures taken at home.

daddy, please remove your hands i can do this on my own...

see... I had to grip well and stay put or else I'll fall...whew!.. thank goodness picture taking's done.

What a Vacation..

It was a long vacation... We went to Baguio to meet for the first time and attend kuya Jo-lo's Christening. Although I have cough and colds by that time, ......I really enjoyed my vacation. I met my relatives and my ninongs and ninangs who were not able to come on my baptism.
We started to travel at 11 p.m. via Victory Liner and reached Lola Azon's place by 4 a.m. Jolo was awakened by our noise.. then i met my cousin.. The Jedi Master. (look mom, is he attacking me?)

The Contrast... Jolo has chinky eyes while I have big eyes. My hair is longer and thicker than Jolo and my complexion is his opposite..... but one thing we have in common is that.... we are both CUTE. c",)

I met my other cousins, with me is Ate Nica.

At the condotel... as special guest of kuya Jo-lo.

Few hours before leaving Baguio, we (with my mom, dad, tita nene, jolo and tito jr) went out. We visited Baguio Cathedral and Tita Nene said that the statue of St. Therese was featured on the TV. It's said to believe that St. Therese had tears.

Outside the cathedral.. happy moments with tita nene & kuya Jo-lo..

At the terminal... with my Lola Azon.. hatid na n'ya kami..she surely will miss me. (bye lola.. i'll miss you too...)

On the way home to Manila.

Zzz.. what a vacation.

Halloween Time

October sometimes implies that its scary month... You'll see stalls decorated by monsters, masks that are ugly and different costumes that can be used for Halloween Party and on the TV, thriller movies or topic about scary experiences are being shown.

Upon strolling at SM, we happened to see some of these items. My parents took a shot of me with it... I wasn't yet scared. I just hope that when I'm big enough to understand them I'll still not be scared.

The witch.

Mom, don't be scared!!! ...Of course, these toys are not for me.

My Hi-chair and Stroller

Since I had started to eat solid food, my parents had decided to buy me a hi-chair. Yehey!!! I got my hi-chair now!!! Mommy wouldn't have a hard time locating my mouth for I can sit still.

...I've got to try if this toy really works!

..The whole view of my hi-chair. What can you say? Do I look good in it?

A day before my sixth month birthday, my parents bought me a stroller. Of course, I had to try it if it's good for me.

We drive tested it around SM Department Store ....and I'm getting sleepy.

At home, with my playmates who had tried pushing the stroller.

My First Food

Before I reach six month, my mom had started to wean me from breastfeeding. I don't like it but I had no other choice or else I'll be hungry. Anyways, there's a consolation to this because I'll be starting to eat solid food.... and my parents bought me a hi-chair and a stroller as a reward...
The picture on the left is first foods I had tried and the milk I drink in exchange to the breastmilk... Sometimes, my mom served me fresh fruits too.

Here's a shot of me when I first tasted an orange...

I like it even though I grimaced upon tasting its juice, when they removed the piece I was eating(sipping the juice) I would cry... I don't want it to be removed from my mouth...

The Pacifier

Last Sunday (Sept.18, 2005), my parents and I attended the holy mass at Our Lady of Mercy Parish Church and then went to SM (Fairview), this is my 4th time to stroll here...

While mommy Arlyne was choosing a high chair for me, I met this giant baby mascot named GREAT BABY. I tapped his face and asked "what is that thing on your mouth?"... ahh.. I recognized that.. it's a pacifier... the thing my mom would always put in my mouth.

During my younger days, I don't like using it. I would act as if I want to vomit and then mom would remove it. Sometimes I popped it out. But now that I met him, I kind of like using it (see picture below).

....but I still prefer my fingers than the tasteless pacifier.

Crowning Glory

My hair has grown long and it has been a practice that babies won't have their hair cut until reaching one year old. So my mom had to ponytail my hair because it touches my eyes and blocks my view.
