Oh my, is it almost a year already?

4 days ago, Xam turned 11 months. In less than a month, we will be celebrating her 1st birthday. How time flies! She spent the last month basically walking and exploring the house. She is now a full pledged walker. Her front two teeth has come out (finally!) and she has entered the phase where she mimics everything we do. It's fun to teach her stuff!

Happy 32nd wedding anniversary...

In honor of my parents' 32nd wedding anniversary... Happy Anniversary!


I hope you both, health and happiness. May you reach your golden wedding anniversary with all of us there, and may you finally have a grandson (bwah!). You have raised 4 great children(syempre!), I hope we make you proud.

2006 Calendar? Or not...

As usual, I'm late in creating a 2006 calendar for Xam. But, playing around Shutterfly, it turns out, I can start a calendar any month I want, so voila! Instead of creating a Year 2006 calendar, I created a calendar for Xam's 2nd year. This calendar starts from March 2006 and ends on February 2007. I used my favorite photos from Xam's first year. Each month's photo corresponds (as close as possible) to the age she was a year ago to build these collage.

Here's a screenshot of the whole calendar (minus the cover page, which was the photo I posted in last night's article).

So, who wants one?

10 months, and getting cuter...

From our 10th month shoot last Sunday...

I love this picture. It's quirky. I love how her eyebrows are raised just so, how her ears stick out just like her cousins and how her fingers are holding that petal.

I have to put a headband coz she's still getting mistaken for a boy... crap! They just never stay on too long coz Xam would rip them off as soon as she notices she has one on.

Look Ma, no hands!

Time sure flies! A couple of months ago, Xam was so tiny, Vic was so afraid to hold her in his arms. Nowadays, she'll be squirming out of our embrace before we know it.

By the end of her 9th month, Xam has embarked on her next adventure... walking! She has been pulling herself up for a while now and has been cruising since her 7th month. At the start of December, she can push her walking toy around the house and back without once falling down. Before the year ended, she surprised us some more when she started letting go, standing on her own and taking a couple of steps (3 to 5) to give us a hug.



Honey, I think its time to complete baby proofing the whole house.
