First Family Picnic

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:48:00 +0000

This is how we celebrated our 5th anniversary at El Dorado Park. Bought food- to -go at Thai BBQ. Simple but memorable for all of us. We should do it more often!

What the Baby is doing?

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:35:00 +0000

I started feeding Claudine with Puree fruits and veggies two weeks ago. Obviously, the baby likes to eat!

And exactly on her fourth month and Christening, she was able to carry herself and finally, nakadapa na siya on her own. Will I forget to take pictures? Certainly, NOT!

Five Years and counting...

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:13:00 +0000

Five years ago, June 30, 2003, Jay and I got married in the court legally but unpurposely, hahhaha! At first, I thought everything was a joke because our original plan is to have our wedding in the church right away on February of 2004.

This is one of my happiest and saddest day at the same time because Jay have to go back to U.S. that same night. So bale, everything was a rush talaga! In the morning, we drove to U.S. Embassy in Manila to get the Legal Capacity that we will be needing in the court. We got married in the afternoon around 3pm! By 5pm, hinatid na namin siya sa airport. Wala na sigurong bibilis pa sa mga pangyayaring ito! I didn't even get a chance to text/ call my close friends to let them know that I'm getting married. But I know, I made a right decision in choosing him and I'm just glad that he is my man.

I love you and Happy 5th Anniversary, Honey!

This afternoon, we are planning to have a picnic at the park with our baby. I'm excited!

Girls' Night Out

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 04:03:00 +0000

Had a dinner at Ashton Kutcher's "DOLCE Enoteca E Ristorante" in Melrose with my HS Friends and some HS Batchmates last night --superb food but quite expensive though. Then we headed up to Les Duex Club. I left Claudine with her dad kaya naman na miss ko sila. Man, it's been quite sometime since I last hanged out with friends, but it's nice to spend time with them once in a while, diba?

Just want to post this cuttie pic with my baby girl taken two weeks ago pa. Sorry for taking a looong break on blogging. I promise to keep this blog running as much as possible in spite of our busy schedule. I'll try to update it, kahit pictures lang...

Speaking of pictures, it's Claudine's Christening this coming Sunday, watch out for more...

Just Busy.

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 06:41:00 +0000

I just got too busy since I quit my job at the County. What's keeping me busy lately? Well, I'm doing home visits for patients in the morning and take care of my baby in the afternoon, O 'di ba bongga?! Jay and I were able to work our hours out and that is for me to give up my job in the county --as much as I would want to stay there. Right now, I'm happy doing homehealth, my time is very flexible so I get to spend more time with my family.

Daddy's Corner

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Fri, 30 May 2008 20:41:00 +0000

Here's a picture of my husband with our daughter. He became "DADDY" for the first time at the age of 37, would you believe? (peace honey, kung nabuko ang age mo!). But anyway, he is improving. Right now, he knows how to give baby a bath, dress her up-- kahit 'pag minsan hindi terno 'yung clothes, but one thing that I really like about him is, he always makes sure na laging may available na bottle si Claudine dahil siguradong magwawala ito kung wala.

She Got Her Ear Pierced

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Fri, 23 May 2008 20:14:00 +0000

Last Tuesday at Claire's, West Covina. She got pissed because I was pinching her cheeks so hard but they didn't hurt I know, because she just slept afterwards-- seems like nothing happened. Tough girl, huh!

And this is how we comfort her

Storytime

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Tue, 20 May 2008 18:06:00 +0000

The Baby loves listening to stories. Here's my proof while listening attentively to Daddy...

Last night...

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Tue, 20 May 2008 17:50:00 +0000

Chona and Rowilson attended the seminar with us at St. Joseph's Church in preparation of our baby's Christening on the 22nd of June. It lasted for about an hour then we had a dinner at Thai BBQ

The Yummy PinkBerry Icecream

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Tue, 20 May 2008 17:38:00 +0000

We stopped by at Pinkberry in Huntington Beach while waiting for our food in Cheesecake Factory. And I'm one proud mama because Claudine got a lot of compliments while we're there eating the icecream. Everybody's saying, "What a cute baby!"

More Cuttie Pics

She loves the camera like mommy.
Here are Claudine's recent pictures.

Tummy Time

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Fri, 16 May 2008 04:53:00 +0000

She hated "tummy time" before but now, she's beginning to like it. She does this for 10- 20 mins. in the morning and at night.

It's been five long days...

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Fri, 16 May 2008 01:08:00 +0000

Finally, I got my internet connection back! The problem started last Monday while I was trying to hook up the four-in-one (copier, fax, scanner and printer) machine that I bought. And it's just this afternoon that I found time fixing it. Thank goodness, my life is now back to normal. Adios! For I still have to pay my bills.

To all the Mommies out there!

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Sat, 10 May 2008 23:56:00 +0000

Happy Mother's Day!

Enjoy our day!
Let me share this quote that I got from a friend...

but to one person, you may be the world."

Nurse's Week

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Thu, 08 May 2008 01:54:00 +0000

A picture with co-workers (l-r Sid, Rotha, Theresa, myself and Dolores). It was indeed a happy week for us because of the free breakfast and lunch everyday.

My 2-month-old baby

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Tue, 06 May 2008 03:34:00 +0000

Now sleeps through the night and I'm one lucky mom because she was doing it for two weeks now. And from what I've heard, some babies still wake up in the middle of the night. But Claudine has her own technique and style of sleeping-- that is, she will first finish the 8 ounces of milk plus mommy's before she sleeps. Her bedtime usually starts at 10:30 pm and wakes up around 7am. O 'di ba ang bait nya, mana sa daddy!

Another OB GYN appointment

noreply@blogger.com (Annette) — Tue, 06 May 2008 01:22:00 +0000

I had another appointment with Dr. Mossazadeh, my OB/GYN this afternoon at Kaiser Clinic. Took a half- a day off to work and brought Claudine in order to see her. And here is their picture together.

Thank you Dr. Mooss for taking good care of me and our baby!!!
