Recaptured Moments

http://homeandbahay.com/Our busy summer vacation is almost over! I'm so glad to still have the chance to blog surf and come across one nice blog meme today, it's perfect to share some activities that my little girl and I did during this summer break. This is my first time to join and I hope to be part of it whenever I can. Few weeks after summer vacation, we started with the first part of our major renovation (our terrace) and turning it into our mini outdoor classroom or play area. My...

Here's a picture of my daughter and I, we were all smiles because I was trying to teach her play a particular the blending game in her leapster but she was trying to hide it from me. When I started leaving her alone and going back to my reading, she started telling me she wanted to read the "doggy doggy" or the "Fun Facts About Pet". I'm happy that she likes listening to reading, too bad the volume of Nookie isn't loud enough, when at home we connect it to our home theater system 5.1 for a...

My sister has now officially entered the world of blogging :) She'll be launching her blog on July 1st ETC. Hope you visit her site... The theme of her blog? "Filipino-American culture and homemaking". Well, who knows someday soon you'll also be reading about scopes or other things that make they use in their homemaking. Well, I'm excited to see more of her pictures and the rest of the family's pictures in her blog. I hope she includes some. :p Click the picture above to visit her at...

My youngest sister also has a blog, it's been up and running for a long long time now, I'm sure she will keep it updated whenever she has time or perhaps on her summer break. I'm sure her nursing studies is taking pretty much all of her time. Her blog is more of a personal journal where she also shares her love of artography (as she calls it), cooking ( well preparing vegetarian delicacy ) and her love story with her high school sweetheart. Hope you visit her blog as well. Just click the...

Our baby boy is now 2 month old and 6 days. As of last Friday, he is already 13 lbs(weight) and 24 inches (height). He has completed the milestones of a 1-2 month old already. We're all happy whenever we talk to him because he responds with his 'baby sounds' and gives us his adorable smile as captured above. He has mommy's dimples :) He just finished his first set of immunization last Friday. We're still out of insurance, it's a rip off to be paying everything with our money but hopefully by...

Hi there, how's your weekend? Ours are okay, we're quite busy with some projects we are doing, I'll be posting some pictures here soon. In the meantime, I just want to share with you that my sister's blogs are up and running, her main blog address is shown on the picture above. Hope you pay her a visit, you'll enjoy reading her blog posts especially if you are someone married to American. Her site is about home-making the cross-cultural way. A little bitty information about her - She's...

I need help in selecting a good baby carrier for my now four month old baby. I love carrying my little boy whenever we're out. Thanks to our baby carrier, holding him was very convenient. I was able to hold my little girls hand or bottle feed him when we're out and the head support in his carrier was great for the past two months. Last month, I took it out and he was able to face the front. My little boy is growing so fast, he will be four month old next week, and last Monday was the last...

I am falling in love again, this time with our baby boy. It's always nice to see him smile, laugh, crawl and just be the cute baby that he is. It's always good to bond with him in any possible way. I'm happy that both hubby and my first born are feeling the same way. Okay, here's a picture of me with my newly straightened hair, thanks for products like herstyler serum for taming wavy hair like mine. Now, that's another reason this mom's smiling like she'd never smile again. Well, I hope my...

I noticed now that I am married with kids, almost all of the books and magazines I am reading are about parenting. I read anything that will help my family, especially my kids. I want to be the best parent and wife I can be with God's grace. Here are three books I want to finish this year, I'm reading two books now, I'm halfway done with one. loving sister for sending me " Shepherding a Child's Heart naltrexone acamprosate campral treatment centers because walk the wrong path but as the...

Remembering the times when I had my babies. I came across this fetal doppler and thinking about possibly saving up for it. No no no… baby number three is yet to be in the picture. It’s just going to be a wish list for sometime down the road. Anyhow, there is nothing wrong shopping around for some gadget. It’s like window shopping only I don’t have to spend money with gasoline which is at the moment way to expensive here on the island.

For the last two year, the activity I shared with my husband was playing an online game called "angels online" but after finally realizing it's a complete waste of time and $. :p We stopped! We also played star craft and red alert/command and conquer. Too bad our installers got corrupted. This year, our activity together includes walk at the park and our insanity workout program. Oh, our little girl also joins us with every walk at the park and our 'beach body' exercise as she calls it. She...

Five more school days and our most awaited vacation will start! I hope we'll have the time to have fun during our vacation and take some more Picture... picture... picture.... Hopefully I can set up our online data backup sometime during our vacation. We'll see what I can accomplish, I've so much on my list... I'm also glad that we received our backup drive, our computer is running out of space due to so much pictures saved in it. I'm starting my backup task now... :)

My little boy has eczema :( I don't know why and how he got it but its effect is not very pleasant. His pediatrician informed us that his condition is very mild but I hope it goes away permanently. I just need to know how. I'll be consulting Google and YouTube Universities in awhile.
 He has what is called Dermatitis herpetiformis (aka Duhring’s Disease) which causes intensely itchy and typically symmetrical rash on arms, thighs, knees, and back. It is directly related to celiac disease, can often be put into remission with appropriate diet, and tends to get worse at night. 
 I hope the ...

I can't believe I don't have pictures of my little boy. I feel so bad that since work started I haven't documented my little boy's milestones. I love how active and cheerful he has been lately..`. He's standing by himself, walking while holding something or someone, crawling all over the place, talking his baby talks a lot, smiling or laughing at almost anything. It's been fun, awesome and busy months at work with school kids and at home with my two kids. Well, I don't know if it's stress but I think I spent most of my time with food lately... We eat out almost everyday. I have three options ...

Other people's garage is our treasure... For three consecutive weekends, we've been hunting for treasures in garage sales. We're particularly looking for walker and high chair for our 6 month old baby boy. We aren't lucky with that item yet, we were told that baby walkers doen't stay long on their display. We were able to get some goodies though especially huge play kitchen and play house for our little girl. We also found some useful electronics, blackberry case and educational board games and books for my little one and for my class. I hope to purchase walker and highchair ASAP, any suggestions? ...
