What's happening....

We went to visit Lola Lydia and Tita-Ninang Lanie last weekend. Come Sunday, we were able to attend the wedding of daddy ian's cousin. 'twas a garden wedding, too bad it rained. This was Inigo's first trip to tagaytay.
The weekend before the latest weekend, we had the chance to go to Mall of Asia and visited The Picture Company. I had our membership activated and hopefully we will be able to set up a photoshoot. (Still convincing daddy ian to schedule the photoshoot since he doesn't know yet the printing cost.. haha!) I am wanting for us to have a family portrait that is professionally taken... teeeheee!

Inigo's new toy - Little Touch Leap Pad

Inigo got his first tech-ie toy from daddy as pasalubong. He really enjoys playing with his little touch especially when he hears the ABC song.

Kids nowadays are fortunate to have toys like these :)

On Being A Parent

I am a member of an internet yahoogroup called NewlyWedsAtWork and I have been learning a lot from the members of the group in managing our home. I would like to pick up the topic that was posted by a n@wie-mate Jeng Agustin and she posted a question "Why do you want to have children?"

I am so amazed with how the group members were able to share their insights regarding the topic. Yes, being a parent is a choice and it is a lifetime responsibility and I would like to share my insights:

Being a parent is a choice and a privilege.

A choice.

When hubby and I got married, we know that we both want to have a child. And we are blessed that we had a honeymoon baby :D Inigo is 6 months now and nothing compares to the kind of fulfillment that me and hubby feels. Yes, there are endless of sacrifices that we have to do along the way and as long as we live. But the fact that we chose to have Inigo in our lives makes us realize that it's all worth it.

A privilege.

Every child is a gift from GOD. No matter how hard we pray and how a couple wants to have a child, if they are not blessed by GOD, it won't happen. I know a couple who tries and tries to have a child but until now they haven't been pregnant. And all it takes is patience and faith to the Lord. The couple that I know will have theirs in God's perfect time.

I want to quote a n@wie-mate Mylene when she said. "But you know what, you'll never know how much love your heart can hold, until someone calls you a Mommy or Daddy :-)" She's hit the bull's eye!

Another thing, you will have an additional special day (aside from your birthday) every year - Mother's Day or Father's Day! Teeheee!

CHILDREN completes the FAMILY.

Inigo's 6th month birthday!

To our baby Inigo,

You have been our source of joy, inspiration and hope.
Our day's worth is to see and watch you grow.
May God continue to bless and guide you.

We love you from every sense of the word.

-Daddy and Mommy

Another Milestone: Sitting on his own

A few more days to go and Inigo will turn 6 months old. One of his milestones now is his ability to sit on his own from his crawl position.

It's Raining, It's Pouring....

Something that the rain makes me feel - calmness. Raindrops make me stop and think for a while. I love feeling the coldness, i so love not getting out of the bed.

Today was spent playing with my kiddo. You bet, he's got some antics and stuffs now. Inigo can easily fill anybody's day. I miss spending my whole day with him. (Imagine how Daddy Ian misses those! :C)

Inigo tried his sweatshirt that me and Daddy Ian bought him a couple of months back at Rustan's. Thanks to typhoon frank 'cause I remembered the sweatshirt and tried it on to Inigo and finally realizing that 2 months from now, he won't be able to wear it and Inigo surely will outgrow the poor shirt! haha!

Here's what he looked like the entire day..
