I have nothing but motherhood and I'm not even good at it.

dnga milestones

Dami naming laughtrip because today, Nikolai started "fake smiling".

I don't know where he learned it from, but my best guess is from his Dad. Lol.  

He also started signing "all done" whenever he hears me say it, but I don't think he understands exactly what it means. I'm surprised he learned that before "water", "mama", "dada", and "more" because we sign them to him more frequently. But I guess it was easier for him to sign "all done".  

We've also been practice walking with him, but palagi aided. He's still tad bit nervous.  

But definitely the habulan will come sooner than later.

It's 2023

And my first post is December 2022 dump, and a little bit about my preps for Nikolai's Baptism.

1.  All things Canva

Nag enjoy ako masyado sa free trial ko ng Canva so I created some layouts which I used for his baptism and birthday

Ayun na yung printed sintra board

2. All of our cocol and takas dates  and that one meriendate with baby

We had cocol at Mini Blanc the day after his birthday.

Ang dami kong kuha na video clips pang IG reels kasi lakas maka Gen Z ng café na yun. But our cocol was cut short coz not feeling well si alidogz. Yung na-sense ko na balisa sya while nagkkwento ako with enthusiasm. Nainis talaga ko. Binura ko lahat ng pictures and video na kuha ko.

For some reason nawala nga talaga lahat, sa Trash and even sa Google Photos. So deleted talaga yung date namin na yun, except sa kuha sa phone nya.

Re Mini Blanc 

So pretty ng café and ang sarap nung coffee ko! I had the Irish Cream Latte. Iccrave ko yun for sure.

Pero OMG ang tapang. Kayang kaya kang ipaglaban! Di ako naka sleep til 2am!

Masarap din yung pasta and fries na inorder namin. Nakakabusog yung fries platter. Carbs on carbs ang peg! 

This was taken from his phone

Kakatamad na mag blog ng mahaba.

Here muna, kyhxbye x

11 Month Shenanigans

This week, he started hiding things behind him. Aside from his ridiculous strong grip, he will hide an object behind him when he doesn't want me or his Dada to take it away - these are the generally not allowed objects (still safe). 

Now as workaround, if it's trash I will take him with me to the trash bin and ask him to help me dispose it. We of course have to sing on our way to the trash bin. 

We will then praise him once he's disposed of the trash. He will celebrate with us with his mighy "Yehey" and a lot of yelling and clapping.

We had our pictures taken at UFoto, a Self Portrait Studio. 

I wanted this to be a family December tradition, for Christmas and their birthdays.  

Little one wasn't in his playful mood so we only got a few smiling shots of him. The good thing though, he was looking at the camera in almost all of the pictures. The red blinking light did the trick.

-- 

He's been practicing standing without support, and though he's still far from walking independently, we are already so proud of all his milestones. 

Yesterday, he tried drinking his milk using straw. It took several sips before he figured it out. It's amazing to watch him figure things like these out even though I had no way of explaining it to him or modeling it to him.  

He started fake subo to us. He would hand his food bits close to our mouth then take it back, smiling while doing so.

We are also trying to wean him off of his pacifier. We're on Day 3 I think.

I now understand why other parents say that kids grow up too fast. I guess they really do.

CKAD

Mombies went for quick cocol at Starbucks Alabang West Parade. We've completed the required stickers and planned on redeeming a Starbucks Tradition. I find the steel tumbler really pretty, but I still ended up getting the planner. Afterall, I might receive a flask either from boss ke ate ;)

The planner is also pretty with all the nice little shiny shimmering details.I got the champagne one since my 2020 planner came in black.

Pero ayun pagdating namin, nagkayayayaan muna kumain. We had meriendinner at Ippon Yari. Can't say no to Japanese cuisine. 

I had a delicious cheese hirekatsu. But Yabu pa rin winner sakin when it comes to Katsu.

The following day, takas date naman with hubby at Cool Kids All Day (CKAD).

Nag takeout lang kami sa Mexican food place tapos brought it at CKAD and bought drinks there. Nung una namin yun ginawa, nag beer pa kami pero sobrang bloated dahil ang bigat nung burrito. 

This time nag quesadilla lang ako and nachos, and no alcohol dahil 0600-1400 shift , for now.

May pa sounds, tables and chairs, big lawn to picnic, and string lights dun sa CKAD kaya siguro dami tumatambay.

When we arrived last night, naka full blast December Avenue. 2010 nung unang shinare ni Alidogz yun, wala pa yung piano/organ player. Zel, Jem, Dondon, and Jet pa lang. Instantly fell inlove. Tapos nag gig-chasing ako. Kung sinu-sino niyaya ko, may after 2PM shift sa 19East, sa Saguijo, amd yung mga bigger venue. Tapos ang sipag ko maki interact on Twitter, feeling close talaga. Hanggang sa naalala na ko and recognize, nag hi sakin si Zel nung Sonicboom gig sa Eastwood; "Khaz, right?" ayun kilig si fan girl. Tapos nung magpapa picture kami kay Jem, niyaya nya kami punta where the rest of the band is. Sobrang FC haha. 

Going back to 2022, ayan sa labas ng All Day na lang ang gig date namin, lol. 

Pero my heart, kakakilig din talaga watch our baby grow. Yesterday nung nag read kami bedtime book nya, he pointed at the Boots and again sa next page. Kaka proud kahit simple bagay lang.
