Little Miss Igorot

 Another photo from our Baguio vacation last September. This is one of Iris cutest photo from that vacation. Obviously we had so much fun with that trip especially Iris.

..and among the many photo opps we had in Baguio this is the only session that Iris show's interest. I think because of the colorful costume. While we were busy with fixing our get up she approached me and said she also want to wear the Igorot dress (of course she said it --that only me can understand LOL) with matching action :) Look at her first picture we never told her to hold the flower coz its big for her but she get it herself. She saw us holding it during photo session so she imitates us. Cuteness mo anakis ko!

HorseBack Riding

This is one of our photo when we had our vacation last September. That was our very first trip (outside our place Bacolod). Why September? because that is our birth month. So our vacation is sort of celebration. It is actually my plan that during our birth month we will have our vacation. What I learn during this vacation as far as my baby is concern she has better retention when she has a first hand encounter like she remember the word "horse" "airplane" so I guess I need to always expose her like bringing her to zoo, museum and other stuff like that.

Dear Baby Iris,

Kahit na gaano ka pa ka-kulit love na love ka pa rin ni mama. I pray that you grow up as happy baby, a wise and GODfearing person and with a forgiving heart. Thank you baby for always making mama happy and sorry also for mama's shortcomings. Basta, I am always here for you baby no matter what. Above anything else you are the most important person in my life. Love you baby ko and happy birthday! mwah!

Here is Iris 1st birthday photo...

New Shoes

Yay! My Rainbow's feet is getting bigger.. I just bought her shoes last four months ago pero hindi na magkasya sa kanya. This made me realize again that my baby is big na! 

So I got her new sandal..I bought this---- aside from I love the simplicity of the design but because I got it with almost 70% off! and the brand is gibi. Original price 899.75php steal it at 300.00php. Last pair.

Thanks JBP! if not because of you hindi ko ito mabibili. Your really is a blessing to me and my baby.

Iris at Lacawon Island Resort, Cadiz

Hello! Wow!..its been so long since the last time i updated this baby blog. Blame it to HYIP programs that I been hook for the past 2months. Its an online investment program but which is very risky! But I enjoy it very much. and why not? I earn from HYIP,... amount which is bigger than my monthly salary. Isn't it great?..at sino naman ang hindi mababaliw dun di ba.

Anyway, as usual when I have time to update I always join Jared's Kids in Doodle and Mommy Raya's Wednesday Whites. We're joining again!

I just made a little drama effect (photo above) courtesy of Pizap! Last May we go to Lacawon Island Resort at Cadiz City, a 2hours drive from Bacolod City. It was actually a despidida party for Sir Boyet. I just grab the opportunity to visit this place. I heard a lot of this Lacawon. That it is a pretty cool place. But you know what, aside from its white sand beach and a super clear and clean area yun lang maganda. The facilities and Amenities is poor sa standard ko. Anyways, my little Iris enjoyed the beach despite the scourging sun! that's all that matter to me. Who care's about the amenities if my daughter enjoyed the water.

..and look at her sarap na sarap with the bbq and watching live starfish! center photo-she is actually pointing a fish to me. She keep on babbling fish. Mama fish. Cute! We're waiting for our pump boat when I that took that photo. See the fine white sand? perfect! better than bora!

My 2 lovelies my sister Kiana and of course my rainbow Iris. They both love dagat! look at their skin?.. sunog na.

share this wednesday white and kids in doodle.

Lappy = Happiness

One of my price stuff is my netbook. I am not a techie person it's just so happen that having this will help me earn online also will entertain and educate my daughter. I remember I was in college already when I learn to use PC. Now, my baby knows to open my netbook and insert my broadband stick (kakatuwa). I think when she turns 2 or 3 she knows to google na :)) . She is only 1 and 7 months now and shows interest on this stuff. Future blogger lang ang peg!

O

As expected we are suki at Youtube. Our favorite is the Hoopla Kids nursery rhyme and Tom and Jerry. She would watch hoopla Kids and imitate the actions of the character. Our favorite song? Old McDonald Had A Farm. Iris really enjoy using my netbook.

So that's it for today. Share this to Kids in Doodle.

Happy 19th Month Iris

Photo taken last Black Saturday

Today my baby Iris turn exactly 19th month old or 1year and 7months. Seems only yesterday that I gave birth to this pretty angel of mine. As always and true to her name Iris (meaning rainbow) she always color my world especially when I don't find any color in my life. When I am down and depress she always light and color my world. I know I am not a perfect mother and I guess not a good mother too because honestly I spent most of my time with my co-worker. Bad me I know! Bumabawi naman minsan eh, we go out on weekend just the 2 of us.

What she can do at age 1 year and 7months?
..well aside from she is more talkative now (sya lang naman kadalasan kakaintindi sa sarili nya) hehehe she doodles with pen at saan sya sumusulat? sa katawan lang naman nya. She loves doodling on her arms,  hands, legs. That's where she doodle. She also love wearing my shoes! yes you heard me right. Also she can utter "auntie" and she knows who's her Auntie. Actually she is an Auntie's girl i should say. Kong pagagalitan ko sya she would call her Aunt. She has her wants and would most of the time insist. She also shows interest in my netbook at ang gusto pa nya you just give it to her and she is the one to open it and power on. Magagalit if you open it. She also love watching on YouTube the hooplakidz show...at higit sa lahat it is in this age that I observe that whatever we say she would repeat it. Like "kaon ka na nak" (want to eat baby) she would answer  you 'kaon".."you want to play" she'll answer you play..cute cute!..sometimes when you call her she would anwser you "ha?" kakatuwa.

So that's all for now. Happy 19th month baby!

Iris is a happy baby. But not this time. She is crying here because she hate my little sister Kiana. She hate when Kiana teases her. When she cry she'll go with me and magsumbong that her Aunt Kiana  inaway sya. hehehe. Cute!

For Iris milestone, I think she can understand na whatever we say to her like "please throw your  use diaper" she happily follow instruction. She utter love you when i say I love anak- oh course the baby way (babu-meaning I love you) She also had 3 teeth (yung  parang pangil) ready to rupture any time soon..

83/366 Picnik Summer Frame

My first love when it comes to digiscrap editing is picnik.com but sad to say they are closing down on April 19 so I am grabbing their premuim themes to use in Iris photos. Below is one of their premium themes from Summer album.

There were times that Iris loves to play with that wine bottle. That wine bottle actually is where I stored all 5 and 10cents coin. She would doodle..ibubuhos lahat ng coins and will put it back in the wine bottle. She would do that over and over until she gets tired doing it. Don't worry she don't eat, I mean put those coins in her mouth,

82/366 Nido Milk Supplement

Every 22nd and 7th of the month is "grocery" day for me. Time to buy stuff good for 15days which include Iris milk and diapers. She could use up around 56pcs diaper and 2-3kilos of milk in 15days! so today is grocer day. As much as possible I bring Iris during my market day so that she'll be able to connect with other people.

..and during our grocery I saw a Nido Junior Milk Supplement and thought try it to Iris. Iris is a Bonna baby since birth..Bonna to Bonamil to Bonakid. Nido is much pricey compare to Bonakid but I heard and read good feedback about it so I'll try it to Iris. Nido is just right in my budget.

Anyways, Iris just finish her food. I was doing this post while Iris is eating her dinner. I'm happy because she knows how hold her spoon and she eat alone. We don't need to fed her. She is eating on her own na. Good job baby! of course with a little assistant from us to avoid mess on her table.

79/366 BeFunky Photos

I found another worth my time site (at least for me) about editing a photo. Some of you might observe that I am into digiscrapping always..I love cute borders, designs and all when it comes to Iris photos, two of us photos actually. I treasure every photos I take with Iris and I have tons and tons of her photos actually. When you are a mom for sure you understand my feeling. Hehehe.

77/366 FB Cover Photo

..and whose not into facebook?..oh common! saang planeta ka ba galing at wala kang facebook?.. joke! I think majority of the blogger has FB account. Some has actually had a multiple account(raising my hand) but since I don't really visit the other account I decided to deactivate it. Now I only have 1 account for myself and 1 for Iris.

Okay, I was inspired to do digiscrapping today because I won mymemorysuite software giveaway..I am in the process now of downloading and installation and while waiting to complete it I decided to change my facebook cover photo. Timeline ka na ba?.. Me? yes! I go with he flow. Hehehe. Am actually loving the facebook timeline now. So here is the cover photo I made for my account and Iris.

If you want to make a cover photo the size should be 850x315 so it will perfectly fit in your FB cover.
