Another happy news for the family ... and more reason to celebrate and thank HIM for all the blessings. Just had my ultrasound result and I am happy to say,so far I am doing well with my pregnancy. Everything ok and ... the best part, we will be having a baby BOY this time! Oh a baby boy! Just what the husband had wish for! Now, he's uber excited and can't wait to see his little chum. He started browsing the net for sample birth announcements and so far, he's keen on getting these themed samples below. Really cute, don't you think so? Well ...few more months more, and Daddy will be happy to see his champ. :)

I Love Books!!

Reading books have been Sam's favorite pastime lately.

She loves reading (actually, skimming the pages) so much that she can't end her day without getting her favorite book.

Lately, she's into her Kuya's set of Life Books about Mammals. She loves looking, counting and naming each animals found in the book. She would sometimes even make funny sound imitations of these animals.

Her favorite animal ... the SKUNK! Whenever she reaches this page, she would do funny comment "yeeoow!" , while holding her nose and twtiching her face as a sign of disgust! hahaha! as if she was smelling one! :)

Anyway, I truly believe that parents should start exposing kids to books at a very young age. Though it may start with simple reading with them at night, and little skimming or scanning of pages to look at pictures as a start of stimulating their interest and love for books. Eventually, these little tots would start building the habit or their love for reading!

baby anecdotes

I Love You, three!

Short anecdote from my little girl last week…. As we are about to sleep and doing our usual “Mommy-Sammie” bonding , I heard this cutie outburst from Sam…

Sam: Goodnight Mommy, I love you!
Mommy: I love you, too!
Sam: (lovingly smiled at me) I love you, three!

oh, yes, she can count now…hahaha!

Sam’s Own Version of a Letter & Number Game

While playing at the garage one day, Sam, for some reason or another, got to the front of the car and started murmuring something … sounded like “two”, Sam said. And to my surprise she was pointing to the last numbers of the car’s plate number! She actually recognized the numbers. And soon after that, she was able to memorize the plate numbers of our car.
