POOL TIME!

I went to a beach resort called Montemar over in the province of Bataan. For the weekend! With my Papu's side of the family! Everyone was there - 4 families! I swam a LOT. I really enjoyed it too. I finally got around to liking the pool (much to my parents' relief, no doubt). It's all because they finally brought that floater my friend David got me for my baptism. It's got 2 inflatable tubes, and this little seat, so I can bob around quite comfortably on the water. My grandmother Luli brought my bath toys too so I had fun chasing them around in the swimming pool. I kept trying to gulp down the water when no one was looking, but my Mamu kept telling me off. She said it wasn't clean. Ask me if I cared?! I was having way too much fun!!!

We arrive at the resort! Here I am all eager to explore.

That yellow pique shirt was a gift from my Ninang ("godmother") Anna Devanadera, while the shorts were a gift from my Tito Roland and Tita Mitch Lorilla!

Here I am exploring the resort in my walker. I changed into something cooler!

I inherited that walker from my cousin, Joshua Patajo!

My grandma Oma got me those green rubber clogs, while my grandma Luli got me the tank.

My Mamu made the mistake of leaving my leather sandals on, I scraped off the leather when I was scuttling around my walker! Teehee!

So now I'm always in my clogs!

Here I am asleep in my Auntie Aisa's arms.

My grandpops and parents brought me to the sea.

I didn't like it! Not one little bit.

The salt water tasted nasty. And the waves are kinda scary - even the little ones.

And I sampled the sand - so icky!

(I'm wearing the souvenir tank my Grandpop got me from Subic!)

So I just went back to the pool - which I enjoyed!

David, Tita Neva, and Tito Dan Santos got me that floater! They also got me a little wading pool (and a pump!) for my baptism too!

MIMOSA Part I

I'm going on holiday again!!! Hurray! It's another three-day weekend here in Manila (Labor Day in our part of the world!) and I headed off with my Papu, Mamu, yaya ("nanny") Sabs to stay in Mimosa Leisure Estate in Clark Freeport. It's out in another province called Pampanga, about 2 hours away from Manila, where I live! We went with my Opa, Oma, and Auntie Amanda. Plus my grandaunt, my Opa's sister, Lola Madonna was here for a visit, too! Yey! My grandparents rented a villa in Mimosa, and I had a grand time. We spent our first day lounging at home (I got bitten by bugs though, argh!), and went out to dinner after. I got that tee from my Ninang ("godmother") Trina Ilarde. I guess everyone in my family knows Who's The Boss!

Trying to sit on my own! (With Papu standing by in case I topple over, hehe)

This is what I wore to bed our first night.

But 2 seconds after changing into my jammies, I spit up.

(It really does).

Anyhoo, so I ended up wearing this onesie instead. Here I am the morning after.

I had to wear long-sleeved onesies to bed -

the centralized air-conditioning in the Mimosa villas get super cold at night!

I wore that light blue onesie before, it's "unbearably" cute, haha.

My Ninang ("godmother") Bles Cuaycong got me both those onesies as baby shower gifts!

"Hey! Where's my other shoe?!"

Yellow tee - Mothercare; Board shorts - Spin; Sneakers - Chicco; Bib - Furry Friends

Navy blue and light blue long-sleeved onesies - both from Baby Gap; Jogging pants - from SM

BOW PEEP

I went out to attend a "bridal luncheon" with my parents today, so I "suited up" again, teehee. Wore a bow tie - sort of! Got that tee from my Tita Monica Villanueva. We had lunch in Serendra with my Mamu's friends, Tita Tinggay (BoPeep!) Mercado and Tita Patricia Bautista - and both of them completely doted on me. Well, THEY ate, and I entertained - as usual! I'd say I did the tee justice, hehe. Wore my linen shorts again - it was another scorcher of a day in the city! A vest, a bow tie, and linen shorts - I guess today I'm going preppy. And on other days my Mamu makes do rock and roll. I wish she'd make up her mind. I wonder what look I'd actually go for when I can finally pick out my own clothes!!

Indeedy, sweetie.

SHANGRI-LA

Most people don't know this - but I'm actually a hotel regular already! I was barely 10 days old when my parents took me to the Shangri-La Edsa Hotel (bad bad bad parents). This is my 2nd time to hit the buffet line at their hotel restaurant, Heat. I came to celebrate with my parents, my Oma, Opa, and Auntie Mandi - my Papu passed the Philippine bar yesterday! He's officially a lawyer like my Mamu. You can't tell from the pictures, but I was actually howling my head off during the middle of our meal - I'm toothing, okay, so sue me (am warning you, my lawyers work pro bono for me, teehee). My Ninong ("godfather") Monzit and Tita Karla bought me that really cool shirt, and my cousins Bianca and Rafa Insigne got me that bib. I think I made quite a scene that day - bawling my head off, but hey, you try growing two new teeth at once!!!

Still at home, patiently waiting for my parents to finish getting dressed!

KING LAZ

It's a Sunday again - grandparents day! Here I am on my Oma and Opa's bed, propped up against their floral pillow. Though you can't tell from the picture, I am seated here like a king surrounded by my adoring subjects - my Mamu, Auntie Mandie, Oma, and my greatgrandma are all crowded at the foot of the bed. My Oma got me a little neck pillow, to help support my still floppy little neck when I try to sit up. It takes some getting used to! This onesie I'm wearing is another gift from my Ninong Monzit and Tita Karla.

CARICATURE

For our family day, my parents took me to Greenbelt again. We chanced upon this art exhibit by a group of college students who illustrated children's books. (BOOKo JUICE, the exhibit was called). They had free face painting and caricatures for kids. I posed for my very own caricature, and though the artist couldn't quite copy my awesome onesie, I think I look pretty good as an anime character!

HI-TOPS ARE TOPS!

Mamu adores Maddox Jolie-Pitt's look and wants me to look like him. He's always in hi-tops. (Although I doubt the Jolie-Pitts would shop in SM, teehee). Since I'm too small to fit into baby Converse (the smallest Chuck Taylor's we saw are for 3 year old toddlers - hmpf!), she was delighted to find these tiny hi-tops for me. They're really built for infants because they have soft soles - no rubber at all. They're kind of big, but they seem to go with most of my clothes. (Mamu wishes she bought two). Here I am on the couch in my Oma's house. It's a Sunday! I always visit my grandparents on Sundays. They can't seem to get enough of me!
