Madelynne's First Birthday

Madelynne celebrated her first Birthday at home with Mommy and Daddy on the 20th of January. Daddy is home from Iraq for 2 weeks. Grandpa Gary and Grandma Georganne drove from Oregon to celebrate with us.I cooked her favorite spaghetti and meatballs and Granma G baked Madelynne's first birthday cake. It was fun to see her eat a bit of her cake. Grandma Fely and Grandpa Paul were sick. Madelynne was currently sick during her birthday week. The whole household got sick successively from baby, parents and grandfolks. Luckily everybody got better before the birthday party that was held on the 23rd of January. We had pancit for long life. Chicken dishes, beef, fried rice, asparagus, bibingka, buko salad, and cake. Madelynne had quite a few guests and a lot of gifts that she opened. We had a guessing game, pin the tail on a donkey, and memory wishes for Madelynne that she can read later in her life. She did not take her first step alone on her birthday, but we are working on it. She loves to press on the buttons of her toys. She sings and dances along with the music on her toys. We very honored about our precious gift from above. She is now 1 year old and we look forward tomore birthdays and milestones we are going to achieve.

Meeting Daddy after 7 1/2 months for R&R

My husband's arrival wasn't expected to arrive that afternoon but he arrived earlier that morning wherein we were not at the airport when he arrived. We met Mark at the baggage claim instead. What a meeting it was! You can tell how Madelynne reacted! But when we got home the dogs were very excited to have Daddy back home. Have fun on your R&R Daddy!

Our Wiggle Worm

Our little girl's developmental stages is amazingly interesting and entertaining. She is now 7 months old. She had started walking with her walker, she is blabbing her mouth crazily. She also sings with us when we sing. She is so funny. Last Sabbath in church we were singing our opening song and she started singing. When we had high note she made her voice louder. Most of the member behind us, had to soften their voice to hear her sing. She is also trying to cut teeth this time, she has her moments of being clingy. The one she hasn'r mastered is to crawl, but we will get to that later. Enjoy the pictures. The last few pictures were taken today in the studio.

Celebrating year 37th

Today is my birthday. I have started celebrating my birthday since yesterday because my husband sent my beautiful purple roses. He saw my reaction when I opened the box while we were on SKYPE. Then today, I decided to cook for few people to celebrate my 37th year of life. This year has been Amazing,since I became a mommy. My mom cooked pancit, I cooked the hawaiian chicken that my nephews and nieces love and short ribs. There were 2 cakes served but both chocolate, which I love. I received few gifts which are all very nice especially a spa getaway with pedicure...I can't wait to book that! I have received a lot of text and greetings from my facebook friends. Well,you enjoy the pictures....By the way, I amgrowing my hair out that's why it looks stubborn....

Madelynne sits by herself for the Ist time

As a parent, I feel ecstatic for another milestone of our Baby. She hasn't reached her 200th day but she is now sitting on her own. I just took a chance to take a picture if she could sit on her own without any support. My parents were very nervous to see me leave her on her mat to sit. She sat for few seconds and of course I had to catch her from falling and hitting her head. Whew! That was close. The rest of her pictures were playing on her mat.

Madelynne at 6 months

She is getting big! She is entertaining. She is is eating solids. She passes objects with her hands. She loves her gum stimulator. She is a blabber mouth. She loves the pets. She received her 6th month immunization...that didn't go well. Tylenol and Motrin helped ease the pain. She loves conversing with her Daddy over in Skype and phone. She like walks around the block in the afternoons. She loves books and Baby Einstein movies...believe me she doesn't sleep in the middle of the movie. She understands Ilocano. Here are her recent pictures.

Angela's 80's theme B-day Party

Last Weekend, I was invited to celebrate to an 80's theme birthday. It was a bit hard to prepare for this occasion, but I pulled it off. I played around from my husband's Big Black shirt. The party started @ 8 pm until later, but I only stayed for an hour and a half, because I am a new Mommy..The faces you will see are my co-workers. So enjoy....
