BLUE AND GOLD

My great grandmother, Lola Titay, who is my Papu's grandmother, was in the hospital for a week. To celebrate her coming home, we all had lunch at my Lola Lorna Kapunan's house. I wore, for the first time, an outfit that I ended up wearing a LOT for the months to follow! I guess my parents think yellow suits me! And it goes really well with my favorite new shoes!

Yay! Lola's home!

(I've always liked dragging around empty water containers, even at home!)

MY 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY!

Almost a month after my real birthday (I turned ONE!) - I finally got to have my first ever birthday party. My parents booked Shakey's and got the pizza parlor to take care of everything! The party was held right after lunch, and we played games, ate pizza and ice cream, and met the pizza mascot! A lot of my relatives came, as well as my Ninongs ("godfathers"), Ninangs ("godmothers"), and my parents' friends and their children. I have to admit I was kind of grumpy during my party - I was feeling a bit sleepy! But I did get into it halfway, and more than anything, enjoyed my own balloons, hahaha.

I had a name tag too!

My parents made me wear a buttondown shirt and long pants - which I hardly ever do, considering how hot it is here in Manila!

Here I am, still looking kind of sleepy.

Not too sleepy to receive my gifts though!

THANK YOU!

DAVID'S 1ST PARTY

My godbrother David had his first birthday party today! His real birthday was actually on 28 November 2009 - exactly ten days after my birthday! - but he had his great big party today. It was a safari party! It was celebrated in a clubhouse in a village called Valle Verde IV. There were stuffed animals everywhere, and animal balloons and huge animal pictures propped up by the door and on the walls. He had a really great balloon lady called Jiggles who made the most amazing balloon figures. I was too small to play games, but I did eat cake and ice cream, and I really really loved the balloons!

Balloons make me go "wheeeeeee!!!"

There's the birthday boy, David, who spent a lot of time asleep during his party!

Sleepyhead David!

I had fun in the playground outside the party!

I love slides even more than I love balloons!

My Ninang ("godmother") Anna Devanadera got me my shirt and shorts!

SHARING

I attended a baptism in Bulacan with my parents, yaya ("nanny") and my parents' officemates. In Bulacan! That's an entirely different province, right beside Manila. A baby boy named Gabe Lapuz got baptized today - he's the son of my Papu and Mamu's officemate, Tita Shar. We missed the church ceremony but headed over to the reception. Papu and Mamu sat with the adults for a bit, and my yaya and I stayed in a room filled with other yayas and babies. It was quite a hot day - all of us babies stayed in an air-conditioned guest room while the old folks mingled outside in the garden. My yaya got all snippy with the yaya of another baby - this little girl kept grabbing my toys and stuffing them in her mouth. Her yaya said very loudly to quit doing it because my toys were dirty! Harrrumph! My yaya was miffed and told her off. Hah! Dirty indeed!

My Aunt Karol Zablan, Uncle Jovy Zablan, and Ate ("big sister") Ava got me that tee!

My Ninong ("godfather") Monzit and Tita Karla got me that cool bib!

I prefer playing by myself at this point - hello, I'm only 8.5 months old!

In a bed in a room full of babies.

(See the little girl at the left? Those are my toys she's eating!!!)

I didn't really mind lending my toys to another baby!

As you can see, I was still all smiles!
