PF #2: My Little Ice Cream Girl

I know we should be very careful when introducing new kind of food to our little ones. I told everyone at home about it. We tried and keep on trying until now. But how can we resist when a little girl keeps on giving us sad looks as if we are not feeding her. During exceptional times, those sad looks are accompanied with little cries. It is both funny and heart-breaking for us.

One exceptional day, Maxyn saw her Ate Ayex eating some dirty ice cream. Hubby who was carrying her bought another one for himself and Maxyn kept on reaching his hand. Hubby allowed her to try it and lo, Maxyn did not remove her hand from the cone! Later on, hubby gave in and let her hold the cone.

Look at how she enjoys eating her dirty ice cream. I bet she will be asking for more if only she could talk!

Is Ice Cream Safe for Babies

Maxyn turned 9-months-old yesterday

Maybe that was why she did not want to let go of me while I breastfed her yesterday morning before I went to work. I totally forgot about it. I only remembered when Ate Meriam called me to ask what food will they prepare for our celebration. I’m so stressed recently with work but still I should not forget these important dates.

Here are Maxyn’s milestones:

  • crawls more and more
  • tinkers little things, specially those new in her sight
  • experiments how things work
  • enjoys putting things in her mouth
  • stands up with support on her own
  • reaches for things above her
  • shows signs of stranger anxiety
  • eats more variety of food
  • enjoys seeing moving things more like cars and lights
  • babbles a lot
  • explores her environment more

For our celebration, we feasted on Leoning’s Pancit Bihon-Guisado.  I also bought some pork and shrimp siomai from Master Siomai and a small cake in Trinoma. We also bought a half gallon of Selecta Choco Almond Fudge in the nearby bakery. They wanted Fat Boy’s Pizza too but it does not compliment our pansit so we removed that. I wanted some Arny-Dading peachy-peachy but we did not find their branch along Congressional Avenue. Maybe when we have more time, we’ll look for that branch.

On Children Portraying Serious Adult Roles

Goin’ Bulilit is one of the staple TV shows that we watch on weekends. It is a gag show featuring children covering adult roles in various comedic situations. One episode really makes us laugh. Even Ayex finds it pretty interesting. Last night, their episode is quite different. Unlike the usual one that has full of jokes, last night’s was quite dramatic and evolved on a love story.

I think children portraying an adult role in a comedic manner is ok. Their sarcasm make us laugh and sometimes, we learn from them. But when these children act on serious adult roles like husband and wife complete with a wedding is kind of awkward for me. I mean, Nash is probably only 12-years-old to be a groom and his partner is too young to wear a wedding gown!

I may be over-reacting or being my conservative self but definitely, I do not want to watch Goin’ Bulilit episodes like last night’s. I want the good-old jokes kids perform. Besides, these kids are too young to portray real-life drama.
