The Zoo

We have been planning to take Bean to the zoo as we noticed that she is very fond of animals. And yesterday we got the chance to take her! I know I've already seen a lot of animals, but I was still amazed by them. We had a great time seeing her eyes get bigger out of wonder. :)

Bean and daddy before going in....

Bean can't wait to go inside...

This owl is just the cutest :)

They don't look happy...

Fact: Bean kept on pinching the snake because she got jealous it's on mommy...

With the cutest dog!

I'm sure she had a blast, just as we did. :)

The Beach

This weekend we plan to go the beach.

I hope the weather would improve though, since it has been rainy.

Look who's excited!

She didn't want to take her swimsuit off :)

Our Little Date

I love taking pictures of our daughter. Yes, I am smitten. There is absolutely no point in denying it, as my instagram and facebook accounts are flooded with her pictures. I don't really mind if some people think I'm too proud; I just feel so blessed.

Lately, I had a moment to arrange my files; and I found myself looking at Bean's photos from 0 months to the present. I suddenly felt a little sad because time flew by so fast! It sure feels like yesterday I was only holding a tiny blob in my hands; and now she's talking and walking!

Last Friday, our little family went out on a date. "Date," these days mean us three. Though miss just the two of us, we always have a blast with our little miss. We took her out for lunch, some walking, and shopping. She really loves to strut around on her own, making us chase her. We have a few pictures that I'd like to share, just because.

Picking out what to eat from her menu.

Chicken enchiladas

She really is a sweet little girl. She randomly kisses you or gives a hug. That's why she's got some Russian Red on her lips!

Our little bookworm.

Baby got too tired and slept all the way home.

I never really thought being a parent could make me feel so many things all at once: happy, tired, fulfilled, content, in love....and did I already say happy?? :)

In One Afternoon

I got a job! Though I'm still under training it makes my daily schedule more hectic. I go around my baby's schedule. I do not think anybody, but mothers, understand this. We are busy being home-makers, wives, and moms all at the same time! Imagine adding a job to that. It takes a lot of work. Mostly if the baby is now walking around the house like a boss! So here are some snaps of this afternoon:

Look who just had breakfast 😃

Sometimes we play dress up! This little miss loves it, honestly. And now that she is walking, she really does exercise her authority 😉 she loves playing! Me and my husband are not rich. We do not buy her super expensive toys (just sometimes), but we make it a point to make her playtime the best. We are quite a simple family.

And I keep her clean and pretty after her bath 😊

No mom is ever too tired, right? 😉

Running Around

I couldn't believe it! Just when I thought it was impossible for my daughter to learn how to walk so soon, she just did it! September 19, 2012, just a month and ten days after her first birthday! To tell the truth, I was worried because she never learned how to crawl; and only learned to sit up by herself around 11 months. Well, my baby just surprised me. I am so proud she learned how to sit, cruise, and walk in just two months!

Now I have a new exercise routine, chasing her around!

She just busies herself with walking, while I multitask with cooking and watching her. Speaking of cooking, I made something healthy last night, Oyster mushrooms with tofu in oyster sauce.

I know I'm not yet a cooking expert, but it did taste good!

Happy Friday!

Here's a photo of her tired feet!

Without Bean.

Me and my husband had a photography job for a hospital's website for the whole day. That meant that I would be without my little girl. It was heartbreaking. Every dull period I'd think, "during this time of the day we'd be playing." Now I get how hard it is for working mothers.

Anyway, it was also nice to have the whole day with my husband. When we work together on projects, it's like going out on a date. The hospital we went to was so nice! I took a few iPhone shots from dropping Bean off to my grandma's place until the end of the day, since my camera was on official use today.
