Mommy Moments Thursday -- Noir et Blanc

Another Mommy Moment on the last Friday of April 2011:

Noir et Blanc

I decided to post Wan's first pics when he was only a few days old.
I was running through some old photos and I stumbled upon this.

It just amazes me how time flies.

Now here is my little boy on his black and white outfit.

So how did your Mommy Moment go?

Cheers!

xxoxx

bumble bee down.

I found him asleep early.

He had a very busy day today filled with running and chasing.

Plus the fact he can now open the door knob!

We just have to lock him in since he's getting good at sneaking out. =)

I was just surprised he fell asleep while he watched Mutya on TV.

Sleep tight, my little Wantonball!

Sweet dreams.

I love you loads.

Love,

Mum

Saying hello to the world of Terrible TWO!

Dear Wan,

Right at this very moment while I write this its approximately about 30 more minutes before your second birthday. I just watch you beside me snuggling close to me like you always do during bedtime. Fast asleep and faraway dreaming. I am just so amazed on how time flies. Its seems like it was only yesterday that you were so tiny and fragile as I held you in my arms. Now I am just surprised on how big you have grown and the new things that you show me everyday. Whenever that smile on your face lits up, it never fails to amaze me.

I remember the first time you said BACKPACK and I almost cried over the fact that you just uttered your first word other than MAMA and PAPA. Then the list just went on... SHOES, FISH, CAR, TAXI, MILK, COKE, DOG, TRUCK, WOW, SEXY, JESUS and TOAST. You love calling everyone at home... PAT, BOK, SA, TITA. I love listening to blabbing endlessly like you're speaking Chinese. Blabbing and blabbing until I hear you say funny words. One day at a time baby and we will get there. =)

Next, you slowly had your favorites and you already know how to choose between two things. I slowly noticed your "new thing"... your love for cars. You love piling them up one after the other and how you would literally stare at them each one as you play. I remember how you would carefully look out the car window and stare at the different trucks, buses, jeeps, and cars that would pass by. The look of awe in your face is priceless. Another instance is your love for Showtime. Seeing you dance and sing is unforgettable and I am happy that I didn't miss any of that.

We have been through alot of tough times, baby. Our 2010 wasn't so good to us. We had five consecutive hospital admissions and I am just thankful for a fact that you are a fighter. For this year, I pray that we don't get to undergo another admission anymore.

Everyday is another new day for us both and everyday I learn new things from you. Mommy is hoping for a right start for us. And I am bracing myself for the new surprises that you have for me this year as you say hello to the world of the terrible TWO. =)

Happy birthday, my little Wantonball!

I love you,

Mum =)

Last bits of March

My little boy is growing up fast and I am happy that I am with him everyday seeing all of this. I am now getting used to calling him my little man instead of my little boy. We've been busy during the last weeks of March. I've been having Yaya problems, two down already and now I am back to the hardest part which is looking for one, again. Oh well, patience is not my virtue but I need it. For the mean time, its ME and Wan again. One on one. But don't get me wrong, I am a hands on Mum. :) My only problem is house chores, the cleaning and the cooking and the laundry. *grr*

Currently, Wan is going thru yet another teething phase, the two lower molars are out and now two upper fangs are slowly making their way out. No wonder he's been losing appetite, slight diarrhea and has been grinding his teeth often since last week. Poor guy. TLC from Mum is just what he needs along with Pedialyte and BRAT diet. =) Its been a rough March 2010 for us but still we got through it. These pictures are the BEST part of our STEAMY March... he'll be the next big thing tomorrow. :D A camwhore in training.

on a bird's eye view.

I am once again caught up in reading other people's blogs. I envy their zest and enthusiasm for writing down all their thoughts, if not everyday, every other day or maybe thrice a month or so. I miss that fire in me.

I miss that other side of my life, that I know, is way out of my league. This is my first ever entry for the month of March. As you can see, I am somewhat struggling though. Carefully filtering thru my thoughts, letting my fingers take charge.

I can't stand the wrath of El Nino. Its been bugging me lately and I have no choice but to turn the AC on. I know my next electric bill will be way beyond our regular bill... much as I want to do the TIPID routine, the our turbo fans can't handle it! I fear for overheating and the cause of potential fire outbreak.

Besides the El Nino thingy, Wan is really getting on my nerves lately. I guess this is the part where the real parenting begins. He's been all out and hyped up. He couldn't sit still.

I admit that my patience is being tested here, but his curiousity amazes me though. Sometimes I think he doesn't want me watching him do things.

I just noticed that today, when I caught him climbing a step up inorder for him to reach our bedroom, which I taught him how to do 2 days ago. He loves being active and doing things on his own, although, he still doesn't have the guts to walk by himself. He'll have his day, it'll come soon. We'll just have to wait. :)

He really got that I-AM-INDIE part from me as well as being STUBBORN too.

I am really enjoying the fact that I get to see all my son's achievements everyday. Watching him grow, explore and learn new things completes my role of being a mother to him.

Its priceless.

Its true what they say that you don't see that everyday and that it's only a once-in-a-lifetime moment that they are still innocent, little beings struggling their way to see the world...

Time does fly so fast. Before you know it, they're already be talking, cursing and even saying, "Mom, please don't wear that!" or "Mom, please shut up!". Well I am anticipating that day when I will find him covered by tattoos or going home drunk and wasted from a weekend party. :) Hehe.
