GRAFFITI ART

That's not a tee! That's my onesie! My Mamu took so long making me wear it, I completely grew out of it! Now they can't even snap it close anymore, so I have to wear it as a t-shirt. But, isn't it great? I like the messy scribbles - though I can barely say Mama or Dada myself, hahaha. I wore it for my doctors' appointments. That's doctorS with a S! I had to see my eye doctor and my regular doctor. All in one day! Ugh! At least I got to practice my balance with my Papu. We were out in the hallway in the hospital, waiting our turn, and I was trying NOT to fall over. I can stand pretty well on my own, I think - with a little support, of course! Tough going! My two top front teeth have also been sprouting out. This explains why I am making all those silly faces in my pictures below - I've been sucking on my front teeth. Hey, they take some getting used to. Now whoever said babies don't have issues??!!

My Oma got me those navy blue shorts!

Back view of my onesie. Isn't it neat?

Here I am waiting my turn at my doctor's - and sucking my top front tooth.

Still sucking, still standing, and still waiting!

SPORTY

I went malling with my parents today! We headed over to Greenbelt and had lunch at Bubba Gump. My parents fed me solids for the first time! I had plain old mashed potatoes. I didn't like it very much - I ended up throwing up all over my onesie - and my Mamu's leg, I might add! Teehee. I am wearing socks which look like sneakers and a onesie with baseball prints all over it from my Ninong ("godfather") Zito's mommy, my Lola ("grandmother") Vicki Purugganan (one of my New York-based groupies, hihihi). I was going for sporty that day! Both my onesie and socks are still slightly soiled in that picture - can you tell??!!

MY FIRST SOUVENIR TEE

My Mamu started a collection for my Papu - of souvenir tees for all the places they've gone on vacation to! And now she's decided to start a collection for me, too! Here is my first souvenir tee - a reminder of my holiday in Subic with my Papu's folks. My lolo ("grandfather") got me that tank top - just as well because it was extremely hot that weekend in Subic! I must say it fits me to a T! Teehee!

YACHT CLUB Part II

I WENT SWIMMING FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! For real, this time! The first time I went for a dip I bawled like, well, a baby. Duh! And it was a jacuzzi in my godfather Jay Castro's farm over in Tarlac. This is my first time to swim in a pool - the second time I've dipped anywhere aside from my own tub back home, teehee! - and I DIDN'T CRY! I wasn't exactly giggling either, but I think it's a definite improvement. The swimming pool in the yacht club is awesome - I could see all the boats and yachts from where I sat (very still) in my Mamu's arms in the water. My Papu held my nose and we went down for a real quick dip in the water. I went back up spluttering a little, and almost wailed - but I didn't! I'll get the hang of this swimming thing yet!

My Ninong ("godfather") Zito and Tita Karla got me those cool rash guards!
For when I decide to go wakeboarding with them one day, they say! Teehee!

Here I am - all serious about examining the water.
(It kept slipping through my fingers, grrr!)

And here I am after my swim - all wrapped up in the big colorful beach towel my grandmother Luli got me.
From the expression on my face, you can tell I'm still trying to make up my mind whether I like the water!
(I only stayed in the pool for exactly 20 minutes! That's what my doctor ordered!)

Check out my monogrammed towel - care of my Luli.

Dashing, don't you think? Heehee.

YACHT CLUB Part I

Back to back weekend getaways with my grandparents - with my Papu's folks this time! We stayed over at the Subic Bay Yacht Club in the city of Olongapo - in the province of Zambales! We celebrated my grandmother Luli's birthday last May 8 - my Lolo Roland Lorilla booked a huge room for us in the yacht club (he and Tita Mitch got me that tee - and my godmother Anna Devanadera got me those shorts!). I came with my parents, my Luli, my Lolo ("grandfather"), my Uncle Jino, my Yaya Sabs and our friend Ronnie! On our first day there we checked out the duty free stores and - we went to ZOOBIC!!! I HAD A BLAST!!! I saw ostriches and tigers and bear cats and a whole bunch of animals! But what I really loved the most in the Zoobic Safari? The leaves! I was sitting plopped on my Lolo's arms the whole time we were in Zoobic and he couldn't stop me from grabbing them! Quick hands! Teehee! Too quick for Lolo!

Playing with the puppies at my grandparents' house, right before we set off for Subic! (I almost ate the puppy, haha! My Mamu had to stop my putting it in my mouth!)
