Here he is …

What do you think? Do you like it?

And of course the “achie” would want to ride the cart too so here they are.

Being the big girl that she is, she has occupied the whole cart which leaves no more space for the stuff we’ll buy so we needed another cart for the groceries. Having two kids in tow doing my grocery shopping was overwhelming though. It was a riot! I actually almost forgot to get my fave age spot removal. Looks like I won’t be doing (bringing both kids) this again anytime soon. LOL.

Anyway, here are some photos I manage to take. They aren’t a lot and of good quality too, sorry. It was very hard to make the two look at the camera at the same time. It was frustrating!

Photo taken the exact day my eldest turned 5. This was before we leave the house for Fun Ranch.

Lets talk about Sophia first -

She has matured tremendously. She can read a book by herself and even write short stories too in her diary. Lately, she has grown tired of Cinderella and Hannah Montana while her obsession for Tiana of The Princess and The Frog grows deeper and deeper by the day. Simply looking at her, you’d think she’s 7yo or even an 8yo as she’s very tall and has lost the baby fats already. In no time I’m sure she’d be all grown up and would even be needing the best acne treatment there is when she starts to have breakouts. We all went through that stage, right? Or did you not? I did.

For summer, I’m thinking of enrolling her to Trumpets Playshop Children’s Theater and some art classes too as per her request. Ballet is on our list also. Called Casa Musica also for possible violin lessons but I was told to wait another year. So you see, her summer will be full of activities that she won’t have time to get bored, I hope.

On to Mateo -

At one year and almost four months, he has mastered the art of walking and running. And was I worried before of him not walking? Duh. Although I still have to understand what he’s saying aside from mama, daddy and achie, I am not worried – yet. He’s still a thumb sucker and so far, he’s been a very happy baby still. He eats about almost anything we give him and oh are we pleased. Hopefully he won’t grow up to be a picky eater like his achie. We rarely take him out but since he’s already past 1yo, I vow to let him go out with us more often now.

He’s starting playschool this summer at Toddlers Unlimited. Same school we sent his achie to before. I am excited of course. I can’t wait to see how he learns to socialize and be with other kids his age.

So there. My kids. My pride and joy.

I am sorting out the tons of photos on my laptop and I saw this photo. Hence the post. I am slowly starting to clear my to do list one by one and I’m so proud. This sorting out of photos is the longest to do. I have hundreds that’s why. I hope by tomorrow I’ll be done so I can move to my next task. But before that, I have to check out about the colon cleansing pills my cousin is recommending for my mom. Gotta do that first – my note to self.

Here’s our little rascal.

Now I am off to the mall to get him walking shoes. I’m obviously an excited mommy can you tell? Dropping by the drugstore too to get some prenatal vitamins to give away in the Medical Mission my cousin in organizing in my mom’s hometown for my uncle’s candidacy. My own little way of helping the campaign. Later!

As for me, I guess I’ve been good all year round too as Santa granted my wish also! A home insurance finally! I’ve been wanting to get one for the longest time now. How about you guys?  What did Santa drop off on Christmas Eve?
