LO share :: Darling Bea

our morning ritual

poor bea has got the sniffles. blame it on the weird weather that we've been having. this is too bad because we had to break our regular morning routine for fear of aggravating her condition... you see, for a while now, we have this sort of morning ritual. bea is in that stage where whenever her daddy and i leave for the office, she insists on coming along, to the point of crying! so we decided that every morning we will let her ride in the car with us and we'd go around a couple of blocks in our subdivision, by the time we get to the guard house her nanny would be waiting for her. she'd willingly get off the car waving enthusiastically at us... that's enough to make her day.

we'd pass by some chicken and bea would wave at them and say "bye bye iken" (chicken), then we'd pass by a cat and she'd say "bye bye cat". then she'd proceed to quiz us, "anto?", "nyan?" (ano to? ano yan?) pointing at anything that catches her fancy. the funny thing is that she actually remembers where everyone is supposed to be because one time when we passed by the vacant lot where we usually some chicken,but at that time there weren't any since it was raining... bea said "no-no iken, mo mor" (no chicken, no more) hahaha... sharp memory!
the short trip we take every day is meant to make our bea happy, but guess what, it makes our day too!

photohunt :: clouds

this is the venue of bea's first birthday, somethin' fishy in eastwood city, libis qc. we had the sesame street theme. we had a lot of guests and we all had great fun. notice the white fluffly clouds that day, it was a good thing that the weather cooperated with us. it was a bright and sunny afternoon and almost everyone we invited came. =)

odd shots on monday

Odd shots on mondays is hosted by Katney, visit her blog to join the fun!

here's a pic of hubby and little bea taken in a theme park for little kids, the fun ranch. It was our first time there and we were just thrilled!. There are food stalls, a mini-ferris wheel, the requisite merry-go-round, karaoke rooms, an arcade, a childcare center, and a host of other activity centers for kids of all ages. We didn’t manage to go to all the stores and stalls but it was obvious from the number of people there that the Fun Ranch is definitely a must-visit place for all families, especially those with young ones.

what's odd about this pic? the blue horse standing beside them, LOL! pretty weird choice of color for a horse don't you think? =)

happy birthday bea...still

7 months after bea's second birthday, which we celebrated at home, her birthday banner still hangs by our dining area. we had a dora the explorer themed party. she still refers to her as "backpack" instead of dora, although i feel that it is easier to say dora. i don't know it is her innate stubbornness or she just finds her "R's" still hard to pronounce.

bea's world

i've decided to start a blog primarily about my adventures in parenting. my daughter is now 2 years and 7 months old and i must say, i am learning so much from her...although isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

anyhoo... i'm still amazed that this little human is growing up so fast, and learning so much... this is going to be a chronicle of our daily adventures... and mishaps together. =)

Answered Prayer for My Daughter

it has been a while since we attended the regular prayer meeting of our community, but i remember that when we were still actively attending, we used to pray for the same things, over and over (don't we all)

we prayed for our little bea to get over her feeding difficulties, complete healing from her acid reflux and for us to find a suitable nanny for her for hubby and i are both working.

God is good indeed, and although it took some time (and a lot of frayed nerves!) God sent a great nanny our way! i was i little apprehensive because she was young at 17 years old, but she's ok. in fact she is now bea's best friend. they even have private jokes that only the two of them understand! her youth and energy works to her advantage since bea is now a handful, running here and there, jumping, shouting, laughing... being a typical toddler!

another answered prayer is the fact that bea seems to be getting over her acid reflux! yey! except for yesterday's episode (oops, she was overfed i think), it has been more than a month since her last episode! she is still difficult to feed, won't eat anything else but lugaw with sinigang, still force fed through syringes, but at least her body is now absorbing her food! and the improvement shows:

i am very grateful! so many answered prayers! i hope she keeps this up!

i definitely acknowledge divine intervention, plus a patient and persistent yaya, and a new vitamin we tried: Scott's Emulsion. according to my father, this vitamin has been around for ages, in fact they tried it on my sis and me, but since it was essentially cod liver oil, (eewww!) we didn't like the taste. kudos to glaxosmithkline for reintroducing this supplement in a super tasty orange flavor. bea seems ok with the taste, thankfully!
