One more month to go, and our li'l girl will turn a year old. I can't help but feel a li'l emotional ... Haay, parang kailan lang... ang bilis talaga ng panahon ... For sure I will miss her "infant days" ... But of course, I'm also excited about having a toddler. I'm looking forward to doing lots of fun and educational activites with her!
By the way, Masheng already knows a lot of things at 11 months. She now knows a lot of tricks and can follow some simple instructions and commands (click here for her milestones and pictures on her 10th month). Nakakatuwa na ngang turuan kasi sobrang sharp ng memory nya at sobrang bilis nyang pasunurin! I taught her the latest trick yesterday. Just ask her to comb hair and she'll willingly do the gesture even without a comb (as if she has lots of hair!).
Hay, one more month to go at may 1 year old baby na ko! Advance Happy Birthday to Our Beloved Masheng!
Lola's gift on her 11th month ....
ang sweet ng lola! (my mom)
Checking out her new toy!
"I wonder how this works ..."
"Thank you Mamem for this new toy."
'Ala lang ... picture taking sa house before going to work ... Hehe, terno pa kami ni hubby ng top! As usual, iwan si Masheng sa house ... She was so excited pa naman kasi akala nya kasama siya sa lakad. Hay, kung pwede lang isama na lang si baby sa work para we're always complete! Hubby Jomski and I just had a simple dinner date bago pumasok (parang Intsik, hehe, alanganin kasi ang pasok ko so 'di pwede ang date sa gabi). It's just like an ordinary day for us though somehow it's extra special since it's our 1st Vday with Masheng!
Hopefully final na 'to. I tried my best doing and following all my fellow Multiply buddies' suggestions and advices. Thank you po sa lahat ng nag comment 'dun sa una kong blog.
'Eto na sana mismo 'yung ipapa print ko so I did what my fellow Multiply mommy (mommy Ja) told me. I set image/file size sa mismong tarp size na gusto ko para hindi magka problem sa printing. I also talked to the printer and asked the things that I need to do with my layout (required size and resolution) to make sure na hindi hindi mare-reject ang gawa ko (just like what mommy Razz told me to do). Well, I actually combined the 2 tarps that I made (flowers and precious moments theme). Pinagsama ko since pareho ko talaga silang gusto. Actually, Precious Moments talaga ang original theme na gusto ko. Natuwa lang din kasi ako 'dun sa flowers na alphabet so isinama ko na rin siya to make my tarp colorful. Besides, people are saying na pareho silang nice so pinagsama ko na lang sila since hindi rin ako makapili (sana lang hindi siya over embellished). I tried reducing the circle frames' colors since it takes the focus out of the pictures (according to CuppyPuppy). Mas readable na rin ang name ni Marchelle since I use the flower alpha nga. I included our family pic na rin (just like what mommies Ana, Len and Christine suggested). I tried searching for more PM pics but I was not able to find brighter ones (juts like what prettysexymommy want sana). I already put the months for each pics and made her last month picture bigger (as suggested by mommy Haids). And I changed the shape na rin from square to rectangle para mas magmukha talaga siyang tarp (as suggested by mommy Vanj) at syempre I double checked 'yung pagsasabitan for us to know how to display it (from sis Gi/ li'l Dove Feather). Thank you po sa inyong lahat! Grabe, sana wala akong nakalimutan sa mga suggestions nyo! Thank you 'din sa lahat ng nag comment at naka appreciate (Shane, sis Irish, sis Beth, sis Stef, sis Mizhelle, sis Joy Cruz, sis Marlie, sis Mel, sis Michelle etc...). At syempre thank you rin 'dun sa mga friends ko na naka appreciate din offline (sencia na, 'di ko na mababanggit lahat).
I'm still open to suggestions and comments. Kaya pa namang ihabol since I'm still waiting for her 11th month picture. Thanks again!
Yipee! Masheng's hair is really getting thicker! A few weeks more and we can already braid her hair! It's time to buy her more ribbons and colorful ponytails!
"Do I look good, Mama?"
Actually, my idea na ako kung anong klase ng invitation ang gusto kong ipagawa. I'd like to choose among the chocolate bar, the magnetic, the box/cube invites sana na nakita ko sa mga suppliers through the net (specially at Multiply). But then, sinubukan ko na rin. Hindi ko lang alam kung papasa na. Anyway, hindi pa naman tapos. Cover pa lang ang nagagawa ko. I know, it's kinda simple ...
Any suggestions po uli? (pasensya na ang kulit ko... hihihi!). And can you recommend me a good printer? Ok na kaya kung sa Kodak ako magpa print? Thanks!
I was surprised this morning when I saw what's on my baby's head. "Ipinusod" pala ng Papa nya ang buhok nya! For the 1st time, naitali na rin namin ang buhok ni Masheng. Ilang beses na kasi naming sinubukan before pero 'di talaga namin magawa since masyado pang maikli and manipis ang hair nya nun! That's why I'm so happy kasi mabibilhan ko na siya ng cute ribbons ang ponytails!
Since I want to take care of almost everything and I want to be "a-hands-on-mom" on my baby's 1st birthday, I took the courage to make and to design her birthday tarpaulin. It took me more than 2 days to finish these layouts and yet I'm still not satisfied... What to expect? ... with so limited time (I just work on my masterpiece here at the office since I haven't transfered my baby's pic yet in my home PC) and limited knowledge (I've been doing scraps using Adobe but this is my 1st time to try making a tarp layout) eh, talagang kahit sinong professional eh, 'di masisiyahan. But, I'm determined to have my own layout printed as my baby's tarpaulin. I want everything to have my personal touch sana kasi... hindi man ako ang magprint basta 'yung layout and design, eh, sa 'kin galing (at ang dami ko pang gagawin! cd souvenir, invitation, pinata, etc ... umandar na naman ang pagka frustrated party organizer ko!). Anyway, here are the layouts that I've been doing for the past few days, hindi pa nga tapos since 'di wala pa kong ilalagay na 10th and 11th month pics ni Masheng. I've been wanting the Precious Moments theme sana (although 'yung isa lang ang may ganung theme) ... yeah, I know, hindi sila mukhang tarp ... para lang silang scrap layouts ... that's why I need your honest opinions, please po! Thanks!
It's my baby Masheng's 10th month today! Too sad that just like her previous "month birthdays", I wasn't able to spend the day with her because of work. I even felt like crying when I left her at home this afternoon. She was crying so hard since she knew that we were leaving without her again.
I wasn't even able to take photos of her this morning since I didn't have much time (I always do so whenever she turns a month older). So I just told hubby Jomski to do it for me since his work starts at 6pm.
It gets harder and harder each day, specially now that she's already experiencing separation anxiety. We sometimes have to sneak out of the house just for her not see us going away. You could imagine how hard it is to leave the house without even saying goodbye or kissing her just to spare her from shedding tears. But its even harder to leave while seeing her crying as if begging us to bring her with us.
If only I wouldn't have to work anymore so I could spend all my time with her! She's one of the reasons why I've been wanting to resign and quit my job. And yeah, maybe that's the reason why I'm always gloomy these days (Though that wasn't the reason why I argued with our boss yesterday... akala nya kasi napapagod lang ako sa work and sa baby ko kaya naging "sarcastic" and "rude" daw ako sa kanya kahapon... I'm not the type of person who brings my personal problems and anxieties at work. So that scene happened because I was really meaning to make him understand and realize something...).
Well, of course, It's not easy to decide ... especially now that Masheng's birthday is getting nearer! (gosh, 2 months to go!) ... Hmmm, maybe I can decide after March 16 ... :)
