Simply gorgeous.

My little girl dazzles in a pretty handmade dress by my Mama. She is a sight to behold. She gives us pure joy and genuine laughter. 

We love you, Julia! 

Random snippets at the farm.

The husband, the daughter and myself together with close friends and family went to a spontaneous farm visit in our Lolo's Ranch. We had lunch there and they brought some booze along too. It was a lovely day.

Stepping stones.

Pink wild roses.

Remnants of what used to be fields of Lerio flower. This is what's left. So sad but still pretty.

So in love with this tree. Standing tall and proud.

A your Adorable!

Oh Julia! You are so adorable! 

Mama loves you to pieces...

My darling turns 5 months old.

Dearest Julia,

As you turn 5 months old today, let me share you some little thoughts of you...

You made Mama really really sad these past few days. Was there something I've done? Was there something I've tactlessly said? Is my milk supply not enough for you baby?

Oh Julia! Please don't feel bad when Mama is away for a few hours. Like I always tell you, Mama is in the kitchen - baking. You must know that the kitchen is Mama's happy place darling. And you must know too that you and Daddy are my ultimate happiness. So please don't feel bad anymore. You are always in my thoughts baby. You are even in my dreams. And someday, we will both dream together. Dreams do come true my love.

Mama has decided to lay low on baking because Mama doesn't want you to feel bad anymore. Someday, you will join me in the kitchen, and I know it will be wonderful and messy all at once! I can't wait for that day to come, Julia.

As you turn 5 months old, you have mastered the skill of making whatever acts. Say, throwing tantrums at Mama. Well not that heavy though, but you sure know how to tackle one. You scream your heart out in a loud cry and at times you get all giddy and ecstatic when greeted warmly. Oh how you generously enjoy splashing your saliva as you get all excited! Baby, you are now a big girl!

Mama is so proud of you because at this early you can now eat. You first had Chicken Soup Mamita prepared for you and the day after you had dry cereal. Everyday is changing as you have a love and hate relationship with feeding. But it's all okay, love. Still, I will always be proud of my precious one.

I find it so funny that everyday you are slowly mimicking your Daddy's features. You are after all his mini-me. Oh how you both look alike!

Julia, I love you to the moon and back. 

Cuddle time with Daddy.

To my dearest Julia on your 4th month.

 Dearest Julia,

Now that you have just turned 4 months old, people will start wondering, they might actually stare at you and some may whisper into each other’s ear on how and why peculiarly tiny you are.

Baby, let’s just let them be.

They are most probably mesmerized by your gorgeousness, your lovely nose, your lips so red and beautiful, your eyes so full and sparkling-bright, your now-flawless skin and your adorable smile and your wit – as sharp as it can be.  That alone can make them glower at you for hours.

Mama is so proud of you. By now, you can securely hold your water bottle in place. You open your mouth so wide when you see the medicine dropper coming your way with your yummy vitamins. And when Mama tells you that we ought to clean your tongue, you graciously open your mouth wide for me. Oh how wonderful you are!

You can now reach anything that is placed before you; you carefully get them with your strong hands, scrutinizing it gently and then placing it candidly to your mouth. Oh how you love licking and sucking your fingers all together that they make a funny slurping sound! Your grip is so firm and comforting that it makes my heart giggle every time you clench my finger upon feeding. You love to kick upon bathing that it makes me laugh so hard. You love the water baby, I can see that now.

You also have discovered shouting. You love to screech my dear, which makes us all laugh.

You are so attentive when I read to you the books we have. I know in my heart that you will be so brilliant baby.

You don’t want your socks or your blanket at nighttime. Oh how you embrace the cold!

Mamita has taught you little tricks like letting your tongue out and you have very well mastered that already. She later taught you how to play with your saliva and you perfectly obliged as well, though at times, you choke a little – in the cutest way there is.

As I always say, that you should smile to everyone that greets you and comes your way – you never disappoint. You brighten up each person’s morning whenever you flash your lovely and toothless grin, baby. You make people happy. You are a joyful baby my love. The first thing you do when you wake up in the morning or even from a short nap is smile at me and to anyone in the room. You make me so proud, sweetheart!

At 4 months, you are the sweetest thing there is!

You will always hear people saying how small you are now; please do not be offended by them.

Dr. Seuss once said that a person is a person no matter how small.

You may be small but your voice is like that of Goliath’s.

You may be small but you are the biggest blessing to Daddy and Mama’s life. Because of you, our lives got better.

You may be small, but we will dream big together.

We will conquer the world in the cutest way possible.

You and me – hand in hand, fingers clasping together - We will always be.

We love you, Julia! 

Julia's first -holding the water bottle.

I am a proud Mama. Last Saturday, March 23, 2013, my little one held her water bottle with her tiny hands for the first time after taking her vitamins. Now, she does this everyday already. I am so proud of my cutie patootie!

All we need is time Darling! :)

Watch Julia drink. 

Watch it here. :)
