Here we come Manila

As I'm typing this post, we are now happily back to Manila for a much needed rest and relaxation. It's also a chance for both girls to spend time with our families. This flight is Aria's first plane ride and first to introduce herself physically to our families and friends.

Father's Day 2016

Today we honour the most important man in our lives. Thank you for the overflowing love you give us everyday. The joy you put in our lives and the laughter you throw in our way. You are amazing honey! And i'm always grateful to Him for you.

 

Gianna at Ajay's party

Ajay is Gianna's bestfriend. It's so lovely to see them play with each other. They were born 4 months apart and have been friends since she was 8 months old. 

Last Saturday was his birthday party and Gianna was very excited to attend. 

His party was held at Wonderkids. It's a preschool so imagine the areas the children can play in. 

Singing time - Tatlong Bibe

I have always been certain about making sure Gianna learns Filipino. I have always been vocal that i want them to speak the language and eventually learn to read and write as well. Her comprehension is better than her spoken language but I must commend her that she tries to respond in Filipino when she is being asked.

Just recently, a Filipino song has became viral on the internet. I can't help but to let her watch it and encourage her to learn it. The first few tries were hilarious but after listening to it over and over again Gianna managed to memorise it by heart. 

Aria's first - Toast

Today i gave Aria her first toast! I bought some multi-grain sandwich, cut them in quarters, toasted them and put them on her tray. It took perhaps 5 minutes of touching, feeling and staring at the toast before she finally put a piece in her mouth. I was kinda pleased that she liked it so will add this to her daily menu starting tomorrow.

She can now easily grip a good sized toast and was more than capable of pickig up small pieces off her tray. Well done Aria!

Sisters-bestfriends

It melts my heart seeing how Gianna adores her sister. How she plays with her, how much laughter Aria makes whenever she begins her silly antics!

I hope and pray to God that my daughters continue to love, adore and respect each other all the days of their lives. This will put me at ease knowing that when i grow old and i can no longer be around them they have each other's back.

8th months milestones

Aria is 8 montha today! Hooray! Although no tooth has come out yet, she found the niche to clap her hands😀 Gianna and i were laughing last night because she couldn't stop clapping!
