To the sweetest baby on your 6th month.

My dearest Sabel, as I scribble on this note, you are lying comfortably on my chest. And believe me, we can go as much time as you need to my little girl. With a loud burp that you just let out, I know a few minutes is on till I put you down beside me to sleep. But right now, let me hold you a little bit longer. Let me surrender to your sweet smell of a baby. Let me sink in to your breath that smells like milk. Let me surround you with my warmth as I embrace you closer. I know time will go by very fast and before long, you'll be so big, you might not want me holding you like this. 

All I need is this very moment to feel you. You are such a good baby Sabel. You've are the most patient human  I've ever met. I hope you will remain to have that virtue with you as you journey through life. You will need it always.

Sabel, Mama is so proud of you, as you turn 6 months old you've done so many wonderful things already. 

You are such a big eater and I giggle every time you crave for more. 

You've tried quite a handful of veggies and fruits already. Let me tell you what your happy tummy has been grinding this past few weeks; squash, carrots, potatoes, malunggay leaves, sayote, green peas, avocado, banana, Apple, pear, papaya, white rice, chicken liver and oatmeal. I know in time we can have more and I'm so happy you love what you eat. 

I simply cannot wait for you to walk and run so you can play in the garden with your sister. It would be nice to hold you and your sister hand in hand as we go for our daily paseo. The many places we can go and the many things we shall do together excites me so much. 

And as I end this note, I caught you smiling in your sleep, a lot of times successively. They say, when babies smile in their sleep it is because their angel is playing with them. Yet, you who's awake or asleep smile almost every second and that's the most wonderful thing about you. Maybe God has sent me one of His angels to remind me the goodness of this world. To inspire me to become a good mother and a better person.

Thank you Sabel for being the sweetest baby in the world! Your Daddy, Julia and I are so lucky to have you. 

To my sweet Sabel on your 5th month.

Dearest Sabel 

It's been 5 months since you gave us joy in this world. 

You have grown so fast my little chum chum. You are going to be a big girl like Mama. Your strong arms and legs are like those of true-born athletes. You have what it takes to become one, someday, Daddy, Mama and Julia will support you all the way.

You've been nothing but joy to us. You seem to lift my spirits up every time I am weary. You somehow know how Mama feels given that you always see me in my different moods. Thank you Dear Sabel for understanding me! For understanding how it is that at times I must really have to put your sister first than you. Someday, Mama will tell you why, it's not time now, you're too young to comprehend. But for now, I just wanna thank you for understanding her as well. I can see already that you look up to her. Each morning, she's the first one you look for besides myself. Just simply the tone of her voice would make you squeal with delight. Your smile looks so beautiful every time you see her coming at you. You adore her the most and for that I'm thankful. 

Every morning Julia looks forward for your playtime where Mama places you on the bed with her by your side. She cuddles you with so much love and sincerity it makes my heart melt. 

You have been enjoying play time because now you can finally pick up toys by yourself holding it close and shifting it here and there. Your strong grip is something. People have been amazed on how strong you really are.

You are starting to eat your vegetables and Mama is so happy. I pray you will love your vegetables. I pray you'll grown healthy and smart.

You are a happy child, Sabel. 

You're always beaming with love. Your sweet smile has caught the hearts of many. 

Just like your sister Julia, your eyes twinkle every time you smile. You make Mama's blues go away. You make heavy days seem lighter. I thank you for that.

Thank you for giving Mama your purest smile always. 

I love you to the moon and back my sweet baby.

Love,

Mama
