Dear Mateo,

It has been said that a person will change most during his 1st year. :) Your first year was almost a blur which is why we are glad that we captured your smile on a daily basis for 365 days! Would you believe that your dad made sure that we captured your 1st year and insisted that we take DAILY pictures of you during your first year! :)

Well documented :)




I'm pretty sure you got tired of your paparazzi parents :) Now, as a toddler it is a bit harder to make you pose for us!






Pa shy effect ka pa! :). So this morning, I gave you a small lecture on posing 101 :)

We started out by taking pictures of your "friends"

One... Two... Three... Smile Elmo!


Smile goofy!



You even helped mommy with styling and directing! Lol



And it worked! I think!?

Before :



After :


Pwede na :) you even called Yaya len to pose with us :)








Great job teo :) now you get your milk as a price :) lol.



I hope I am not gonna turn you into a camwhore like mommy :) hehe

LoveNotes

How did you spend your hearts day? :)

Mine felt like a week long food trip bonanza... :) After all the craziness, I just want to write down my thoughts about ... LOVE :)

Have I turned into mush? Highly unlikely :)

I just know that love is an amazing thing and there is so much for everyone :) I want to (again) thank my support system and my love ones for making life worthwhile :)




Errands, things to do etc do make me crazy every now and then. I have been a bit overwhelmed lately and I sometimes just need a breather.

Just when I am about to crash, I find myself watching my little boy sleeping so peacefully and he makes me feel all better again :) I am blessed.

I look out the window of Mateos room and see the garden and I feel so lucky living in such a peaceful and beautiful place.


I am surrounded with so much love and I just want to thank all of you for continuously being by Angels. Thank you for making me laugh and keeping me sane. Thank you for your unconditional love. Thank you for your hugs. Thank you for all the kind words and the not so kind ones that you need to say to make me better :) Thank you for all the love :)












































And I want to share this sonnet to everyone :) I know all of you can relate to this. We have loved or love a person where words are not enough :)

Love you all :)





I love you my dearest baby :)

WaterBaby and Terrible Twos

It is a Sunday so I was lounging around and was just being a bum. I was surfing the net and having wheat bread and cheese cubes.








My bum mode was disrupted by
Mateo. He came up to me and said.

"Mommy, swimmin poo'!"

Omg. I remembered that I did promise him last night that we will go swimming today! That means I cannot fool my boy anymore! :)

So off to the swimming pool we go! :)








He is so tall na! It's been almost 18 months since his first swim!









Now he has more hair! :) lol

Having a two year old son is crazy and amazing rolled into one! I am very blessed that he is a happy camper most of the time but when this little guy wants something, he means it! :/

Just the other day I was one guilty mom for scolding him and standing my ground while he cried his eyes out. Bawling little boy having a stare-down with his momma! It was hard.

Everyone who has seen me get mad knows that I can have no mercy when I am ranting an standing my ground but this boy really messes up my angry mojo! Wah.

I am so glad that the stand off lasted just for a few minutes. Whew. Hugs and kisses followed almost immediately.




Ewwww. I know this is not gonna be the last of it's kind.

So moms and dads, how do you deal with your toddlers and their tantrums?

25 months :)

Dearest Mateo,

You are almost 25 months old! You are growing up so fast I am having a hard time catching up! I am savoring these moments when I am still your one and only love :) I know that someday you will find the girl of your dreams but for now you are all mine. :)

I love being the apple of your eyes :) I love it when you wake up and smile at the sight of me and call me mommy. I know there will come a time when you would roll your eyes at me. I shudder just thinking about that. The terrible tween phase. Ewwww. But for now I will not get tired of you waking me up in the middle of the night just to listen to you recite the ABCs :) Yep, you know your ABCs at 2! :)

You love it when I do a silly dance and you imitate my silly moves. I know that someday you might be ashamed of my silly moves but now I am nothing but greatness to you :) soon you will know better :) haha :)

You demand a lot of my attention when I am around and follow me around the house and beg me to draw for you or watch you play. Someday I might be the one demanding for your attention :)

There will be changes my dear son but always remember that our love for you will never change :)

We love you ,

Daddy Chris and Mommy March




Happy New Year :)
