Worry

The sounds that are coming out of Bug lately are so short and abrupt.  I think she's really trying to form words now.  Get ready, world.  She never stops!  I love the sound of her voice...when it's sweet. :)  She spends a lot of time talking, crawling, and diving off of cliffs (I mean...the bed).
Bug also LOVES her toys.  When she has a spare moment from all that crawling and talking, you can find her puckering her lips, kissing all her toys.
Okay, so this one Ma-Ma asked her to kiss it, but she willingly and happily did.
Now that she's practicing being mobile, she no longer actually uses her toys the way they're supposed to be used.  For example, we play from outside of the bouncer, not in it.  (That pillow is there to prevent a bad fall onto the metal base of the bouncer.  Lesson learned from previous experiences.)
Then there's the Bumbo.  Oh, no...we don't sit in it.  We force our animals into it.
Mobility may be the end of this mommy's life.  I never thought I could be more exhausted than I already was.  Then she started moving.  :)  Maybe it'll be more fun for me when I'm not trying to save her life from the corner of the dresser, or the corner of the wall, or the cat litter, or...from her attempts at diving off of our bed when we're hanging out.  ::SIGH::  The worry just doubled.  Haaha!

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

A Kinder Grad

Kindergarten can really take a toll on the parents.  (Yes, I meant to say parents.)  I knew we were in for a lot of activities and volunteering, but I did NOT know that it would become a second job to be an involved school parent.  I was told that by volunteering and being involved, it would give your kids (and their classmates) all the benefits.  At a private school (especially a Catholic private school), if there aren’t any volunteers, there aren’t many activities.  So ultimately, I knew I had to participate.  Could I have cut down on the activities I chaired or took part in?  Sure.  Why didn’t I?  [Insert long sigh here.]  Because in the end, I realized that I wasn’t sending my child to a private school because it was better than the public schools in the area.  (We actually have great public schools in our district.)  I was sending my child to a private Catholic school so she could learn about her faith.  The most imp...

9 years later...

This is the story of a dentist-in-waiting-nomad, Angela (a.k.a. my sister, "Ate"-[for those who don't speak Filipino, pronounced "a-teh"]) and a basketball playing of an engineer. Freshman year: boy sees girl and never speaks to her. Senior year: boy befriends girl's sister and gets his chance. A winter formal came along. Boy asked. Girl accepted. Boy meets girl's brothers (eek!), mom, and dad (EEK!). They danced. Girl moves to San Francisco, then San Jose. Boy moves to San Jose. Boy moves back to Valencia. Girl stays in San Jose. This summer, girl will move back to Valencia. Soon, boy and girl will finally be getting married! 9 years later! I have yet to express how excited I am that my sister and Louie are finally getting married. (Not that they needed to tie the knot to officially make Louie a part of our family.) For nine years, Louie has become another big brother to me and an Uncle "Looouuuwweeeee" to my nieces- always willing to d...
