Kwentong Libag

No, it's not what you think, I won't make kwento about libag. So this is my real kwento all about. When hubby and I arrived home last night my Jashley is running towards us and do her usual routine of kissing and make "mano" to me and her Daddy (she does this whenever we arrive home). After that she told me "Mommy...Read...Books", I replied "Ok baby, what do you want Mommy to read for you?, she then replied "Li-ba-bag". I was like what?!! what does she mean by libabag? I'm waiting for someone at home to help me decipher what does it mean, but it seems that no one knows too. So I ask her "what is libabag baby?", she then show me the book that I recently bought for her and answered "libag" while pointing on the book cover. Ayun naman pala it means Ladybug, this ladybug Sleepover book that I gave her the other day. Buti na lang so smart ang baby ko that she was able to explain what does she mean by showing me these book (Which by the way I bought at national bookstore for only 59php each. So cheap!). 


I corrected her pronunciation many times but still "Li-li-bag" padin ang nasasabi nya. Anyway it's ok baby ma-perfect mo din yan next time. Always remember that Mommy will not get tired understanding you until you are able to converse fully na. 

As of now though you were able to repeat na every single word we were asking you to say, you were still confuse between C/K & T and M & N. Here are some examples:

No more = Mo More
Kain = Tain
Carry = Terry

But still you are doing a great job baby. I love you so much.

So fast

Time flies so fast talaga, last night hubby and I came home late because I have an office team dinner. We got home around 11:30 pm na, and obviously our little girl was already sleeping. Di ako sanay, we usually got home kasi around 8:30 or 9:00 pm, she still awake pa by those time, so we have enough time pa to play with her before she sleeps at 10:00pm. Since she's already asleep I just content myself on staring at her, and realized that time is flying so fast, she's now on her 19th month and already knows a lot of things. I am really amaze on how fast her development is, and I always thank God for that. Madami natutuwa sa kanya kasi at her young age she knows almost all the alphabet already. She's able to count na though she keeps on skipping number 5 (I dont know why). She knows shapes too. She's also very "madaldal" and will repeat almost everything that we said. She can speak & understand both english and tagalog. She also can sing some of the lyrics on some nursery rhymes she's watching. Super smart talaga ng baby ko. Then just last sunday, while I am busy washing her feeding bottles, she was busy playing naman sa may living room. While holding her plush toys kitty (hello kitty) and bob (sponge bob), I heard her saying kitty, bob, kitty, bob, (paulit ulit siya while pointing on the toy she mentioned). So I butted in and our conversation goes like this:

Mommy: Who is that baby?

Jashley: Kitty, Bob

Mommy: Kitty and...

Jashley: Bob

Mommy: Dora and...

Jashley: Boots

Paulit ulit ko ask sa kanya yang Kitty & Bob saka ung Dora & Boots binaliktad ko din to test if she will get confused.

Mommy: Bob and...

Jashley: Kitty

Mommy: Boots and...

Jashley: Dora

Hmmm... Very good talaga ang bebekoy. So I asked her again at nagulat ako sa sagot nya because I am sure no one teach her this. It goes like this:

Mommy: Daddy and...

Jashley: Mommy

Mommy: Mama (her Grandma on Daddy's side) and...

Jashley: Papa (her Grandpa on Daddy's side)

Mommy: Papsi (her Grandpa on Mommy's side) and...

Jashley: Mamsi ((her Grandma on Mommy's side)

Mommy: Tito Alex (her Daddy's brother) and...

Jashley: Mency (her Tito Alex's girlfriend)

I was really amaze on her answers, I don't know how she figured out who partnered to whom. or maybe because she always sees that her Daddy and I are always beside each other, and when we are both out for work she is left with her Mama and Papa. Then when Papsi and Mamsi naman is visiting her they were always together, And for Alex and Mency sa Facetime lang sila nakikita ni Jashley palagi because they are both working in Thailand. I was just so amazed that she was able to get the logic on who partnered to whom after that kitty and bob example. I think she's now ready for some matching activity like matching mother and baby animals, or opposites activities.

Kids these days talaga were so smart. Another instance na na-amaze ako is while she's watching a series of nursery rhymes, bago matapos ang every song meron siya sinasabi na word like, "bus", she keeps on saying that until the current song ends and turned out that the next song is "wheels on the bus", then before that ends she will say again a word "rain", cause the next song is actually "rain rain go away". Ang galing ng memory nya, although everyday we are playing this rhymes at home no one memorized it except her. I think my baby's memory skill is as good as her logic skills. Thank you Lord for that.

Those things made me realize that my baby is growing so fast, Samantalang dati inip na inip ako na lumaki na sha, now I am so overwhelmed with those things she's able to do.

Reasons why...

I know I always say I'm too busy to blog but actually that is not really the sole reason why I seldom post an entry here. I'm really not a writer, even in personal I'm not the type of person na "ma-kwento", I always have this feeling na people are not interested on whatever story I have. I actually created this blog cause I think it can help myself in that aspect, at least here I can  tell any story I want to share and its up to the readers if they will read it or not, wapakels nako. But what usually happens is for couple of days I will post blogs then suddenly I have this feeling again not to blog because no one is interested anyway. Then whenever I am reading and browsing other blogs I again wanted to keep up my blog. Like right now since we don't have much workload in office I now have a lot of time browsing and reading blogs and that explains why I'm now posting a blog entry right now. I got envy on some of the Mommy blogs I browsed lately, on how they documented every development of their little ones. I wanted to document also everything about my baby girl so she has something ti read on later. For now this is my motivation on keeping this blog alive. So good luck to me, I really hope I can do it.

Who is Jashley Bear?

Jashley is our little princess first name, but i usually call her Jashley Bear because she is huggable as a bear. =)

Our Jashley was born October last year, as of this writing she's now on her 11th month. I gave birth to her via C-section due to minor condition on my part. She is our first child and a honeymoon baby when we got married February last year. She is surely Daddy and Mommy's blessing from above.

For our baby girl

I know its been a long time since I posted something here, I always have something on my mind that I  wanted to share here, but most of the time I am busy especially now that I'm already a Mom, a working Mom actually. I barely got a spare time now, before when I heared some Moms says that bathtime is their only "me time", I always thought that its just an OA (Over Acting) statement until I experienced it myself.

Anyways, since I do have spare time today, I decided to update this blog and share here things about Our Baby Girl, its again my way of documenting things about her that we can recall later, because who knows, I might not remember every single detail about her by then.
