CONTAINMENT

I've been really busy so far! So much to see, so much to touch, so much to explore. I can't walk yet, but I'm always moving around, wriggling here and there, grabbing this and that. The big folks can hardly contain me! And though I still like being carried around, it's been pretty tough hanging on to me because I wriggle around so much. Here I am at a lunch with my Lolo's ("grandfather) side of the family - it was my greatgrandfather and greatgrandmother's wedding anniversary! Everyone kept raving about how big I've gotten - and how cute still, mwahahaha. Oh, and I got a new yaya ("nanny") last June, too. Her name is yaya Nida, and I really love her. She makes me laugh and has taken to sprinkling me with baby cologne! Teehee!

"Let go of meeeeeee!!!"

(My Ninang ["godmother"] Dev got me those shorts!)

Here I am sitting on my new nanny Nida's lap.

I only really sit still these days when I'm feeding - or fast asleep!

ON TWO

I've been becoming really steady on my legs lately! I think I'm THIS close to walking, I really do. I've decided to skip crawling altogether - so boooooring. It makes me impatient. But I do love it when my folks prop me up on my legs - I can take a lot of wobbly steps already - with a LOT of support, of course. Here I am with my Papu at my pediatrician's clinic again, for my monthly check up. Notice the new sandals my Mamu got me - thick rubber soles, all ready for walking! My parents have a hard time taking my picture these days - everything turns out fuzzy because I'm moving around so much (my Mamu calls me a flutterbudget). Hello, shutter speed, please try to keep up then!

I think I also grew a teeny weeny potbelly this month!

Finally, I sit still.

(My Tita Ina Alazas got me that tee. It glows in the dark! I wore it on a road trip to Subic before!)

Doing the macarena! Sort of! Hihi!

NEW SKADADDLES!

My parents got me new sandals! I've worn them several times last month. With real soles! Thick rubber soles! Am all set to start walking! The sandals also have these little velcro thingies, so we can just adjust the straps when my feet get bigger (or fatter!). I'll miss my old pair for sure - but I'm done with my sissy little "almost shoes." I'm ready for the big leagues! Though my Mamu says these are my "transitional" shoes. I get my next pair when I really start walking. Hah! Not long now!

GERBER

My pediatrician gave us the go signal to start me on solids when I turned 6 months old last May, but my parents didn't really start feeding me my solids until June. I've been sampling a lot of mashed veggies from Gerber's First Foods line - broccoli, squash, and carrots. Over at my Luli's, I've been trying arroz caldo, lugaw, and Cerelac. They've been keeping me away from fruits for now, so I don't develop a sweet tooth. My parents have taken to bringing a little bottle of Gerber when we go out to eat because I get so jealous when I see all the big people eating. We pack a little plastic spoon and a plastic bib all the time too - the set I'm using now are from my Opa and Oma! Here we are, having lunch for my daddy's birthday at a restaurant called Clawdaddy in Shangri-La Mall. I'm "feasting" along with the big folks too - here I am manfully chowing down on my mashed carrots! Hurrah!

That neat little plastic bib catches EVERYTHING.

Though I haven't been much into spitting - just drooling!

The bib comes with a little spoon and sippy cup too. Am all set for the big times, hehe.

That's my Aunt Mandi (she's also my godmother!), while we were patiently waiting for my Papu to do his birthday shopping, teehee.

My Ninang ("godmother") Dev got me the pique shirt. The colorful Disney sandals and shorts are gifts from my Oma and Opa!

GRUMPY

I'm back!!! It was all my Mamu's fault! We've had a lot of out of town weekends in June, and a lot of rushing around - no time for outfit posts, she says. Phooeeeeey!!! Here I am with my parents at Sugarhouse, this little dessert place in Eastwood. It was the eve of my dad's birthday, so we headed out to have our own little celebration before eating out with the grannies tomorrow. But, it was my bedtime then, so I was really grumpy - and I'm not even normally fussy! I barely let the folks finish their cakes. Serves 'em right - silly parents, dragging me out of bed!

My Ninang ("godmother") Bles got me that long-sleeved onesie, and my Oma got me those shoes.

I. Want. To. Go. Home!!!!
