Oh hello there.

Oh hello there.

My last post was last year, June to be exact. 

I cannot believe that I have this tiny space still doing wonders as I read the few posts there was.

Where was I?

Life happened to me.

I got so caught up with it that my little corner here got slammed away, totally hidden from life's adventures.

Stay with me as I am trying to NOT make that happen anymore.

I have so much to tell and so much to share.

Let me begin by saying that FINALLY, we came back to the house that we left 5 years ago, now fully functional, clean and comfortable as it can be.

This is my current view and how can I not love it?

I have more stories soon.

Sabel turns ONE.

Dearest Sabel,

As you turn one I celebrate the sweetness of a baby that is you. I thank the Lord for giving you to us. For being our joy and happiness always...

I pray that you and Julia will hold each other's hand when you're happy, scared or even when you're blue. 

Together, you will make the world a better place. 

Your smile - so genuine and sincere.

You are my constant reminder that life should be filled with all positivity, be in thoughts and actions. You prompt me to appreciate life as it is and to be contended with what’s here present. Your genuine smile each morning gives me hope for we never know what each day brings.

Always remember that Mama has got your back and that I will constantly be here for you and your sister.  

You are a certified Daddy’s girl. Never wanting without attention from him when he is present. 

Always remember to take each passing day with one small step at a time. 

I love it when I hear you squeal in delight, I especially like it when you call out for food because you love to eat so much.

You were born to shine and sparkle. 

You are a doting sister to Julia and because you are quite strong, at times, she feels you are hurting her but like I always tell her, you are just a baby and just wants to play. I hope you two will grow the best of friends.

The world is big and you must go and discover it for yourself. 

Life will not be perfect but I promise you, it will be beautiful. 

To my sweet one, Happy Birthday! 

I love you to the moon and back!

Love,

Mama

11 Sweet Months.

To my second born and my little giant, now that you've turn 11 months old, I'd like to tell you a couple of things.

This month, you've become incredibly sick I had to take you to the hospital twice. My nerves got into me and my knees started to shake the moment you were having a fever that spiked up to 39 degrees. To top it all, big sister, Julia was sick too. 

You had teething pains as well and your fever came on and off giving me the scare of some sort. 

You've grown 2 front teeth this month that made you feel totally uneasy.

Mama became sick too and we all had to work hand in hand for Tita Ina's wedding. This month was just gonna go by fast, as slowly you approach to being a year old. 

Oh Sabel! Where did time go? I look at you and still am amazed how far you've grown and realize you've achieved so much in time. 

I with a deep breath, at times cannot contain my joy and fear of what lies ahead of us, of the days that are yet to come. I fear that I may not be able to give enough when the time comes that there will be three of you to look after. But my excitement gets the most of me thinking that my fear will just go by and away with the wind. 

Little darling, I love the sight of you and Julia cuddling each other to laughter. It warms my heart and how I find it funny that you cry whenever you hear her cry. 

How you cheerfully look for her presence and how she welcomes you with so much kisses and hugs melts my heart so much! I wonder how it will be when Clara comes out? Oh yes! Belly, we've decided to name your little sister Clara. Julia is fond of it as she recalls the name Clara from the movie The Nutcracker. Soon, you will enjoy watching movies with Julia and Clara when the time comes. 

As of now, please remain as my baby - Mama's sweet baby just for a short while. 

I love you, Belly!

Mama

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
