13 month Bug

Happy 13 months (Can you believe it!?!?) to our little Bug!

This is the "Uh-oh" face...that we see all too often.

We have a very mobile Bug these days so taking this month's photos was a challenge.

Wake-up call!



Such a cutie!  Thank you, Lolo Andy for the headband you gave me for my birthday!






Maybe we'll get a better pic of her walking.  FAIL.


Between 12-13 months, Bug learned how to put things back where they belong.  I attribute this to day care because when I was teaching her, I failed miserably.  I just help her practice. :)  Just because she knows how to put things back doesn't mean she doesn't take everything out and it also doesn't mean she wants to put things back either.  It's a hit or miss, as is anything with a one year old/child/baby/teen/adult.  :)  Bug still loves her toys more than her books and she's still dancing away to every beat she hears.  I'm pretty sure she's got some rhythm, all inherited from Daddy and TaTa.  I know I can't move the way she can!  She's also learning how to make everything an instrument.  

I pray for any door stopper she encounters.
 

 Bug is full of laughs these days and I just cannot stand it.  She's so funny and I love the way she lights up when Daddy comes home and she runs right to him.  I'll save that video for another blog post. :P  She's also developed a "shyness" about her.  Now, it's a shyness, not shy.  Ha.  When she sees people, she plays shy until she can get a laugh or an "aaaaw" out of them.  Wait.  Is that what she's doing?  She's playing people?  She has got so much charm and is such a ham!  The other day Daddy and Bug visited my parents' neighbors before bed, for what I thought would be a quick visit.  An HOUR later, I was on FB (of course) and there was my daughter.  The neighbors had posted pictures of her laughing up a storm!  I cannot and should not be shocked. 

She is learning to share more each day, even though most times she just teases people.  :/  (We're still working on it.)  Another thing Bug loves these days is taking care of babies.  Because of baby Lo, Bug has gained a new appreciation for little babies.  When I pick her up from school, she is always rocking a baby in a swing, or standing around the teachers holding the little ones and offering blankets and kissing them.  She is going to make a great big sister soon.  Time out.  Okay, so not "soon, soon", but soon like in the future soon.  Ha.  I'm sure Daddy just fell out of his chair reading this.  :)

She's growing and developing so much and so quickly. I can't keep track of it all.  I love this kid and she makes me laugh so much.  We are so blessed.  Is it weird that she can make me laugh more than most people?  Seriously.  Too funny.

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...
