Maxyn turns 7 months

Thanks to Mommy Lace’s post, I was reminded that I haven’t posted this topic.

Maxyn turned 7 months-old last Saturday. I was not able to post this topic because 1) we went to the pediatrician last Saturday morning for Ayex’s check-up and Maxyn’s vaccination and 2) we went to my OB in the afternoon and spent the weekend in Las Pinas.

I just realized that we didn’t have any handa that day except for the Tropical Hut take homes. I guess it slipped my mind because we were on the road all afternoon plus I already cooked pasta on Friday for Ayex’s birthday. Or perhaps I intentionally didn’t buy any sweets because Ayex has a very bad cough.

Anyway, here are Maxyn’s milestones.

Can now roll from her back-tummy-back and vice versa.
Has visited Star City and rode two rides (Carousel and Fantasy/Magical Forest).
Can sit for a while without support.
Tries to reach things when on her tummy.
Shouts a lot.
Loves to pull her caregiver’s hair.
Eats solids 2-3 times a day.
Puts anything she has in her hand in her mouth.
Stays awake longer.
Stands in her walker.
Holds her bottle.
Drinks water from a cup.
Can stand alone with support for a while.

To My Little Darling

As you are reading this, we are probably busy getting ready, in transit or in Star City already. I don’t want to believe that time flies by so fast but it is the reality.

Just a year ago, same time of the year, Ayex was attending pre-nursery class and I was 4 months pregnant with Maxyn. Same time last year, I finally weaned her from breastfeeding because my pregnancy makes me an irritable person and her habits during our sessions makes me irritated. I weaned her because I don’t want to keep scolding her for petty things but I can’t just control my moods.

And now, after a year, here she is, all smart and naughty. She talks as if she is an adult like us. She borrows the laptop and tells us to tell the people she wants to talk to that they’ll talk over skype or plays Purble Place. Sometimes she’ll act as a very independent tot. During her moody days, she competes with Maxyn for attention or gets mad at little things she can’t control. Idon’t want to believe that I have a little girl now. I was just giving birth to her and now, she asks me for take homes as soon as I enter the door. Hay, why can’t babies stay as babies for a longer time?

I pray that my little girl will grow up to be a respectful and God-fearing person. May she continue to be bright and smart. May she understand in the fure that the things we do are for her and Maxyn.

Happy birthday, my darling Ayex!

My 2011 Goals

I went back to my posts last January 2010 to check the goals I wrote and was surprised that I actually achieved three out of four. But those goals are materials. I just realized today that I didn’t write any other plan (read: resolutions). I actually can’t believe that because I feel like I wrote something before.

Anyway, if you don’t have any idea on what were my material goals last year, you can click here. I want to post the links of the goals I achieved but looks like I haven’t blogged about them except for my camera. Boo me! I really have tons of things I should post about but forgets them. *deep sigh here*

Anyway, let me continue with my 2011 goals.

I was watching TV during the holiday season when I heard someone said that when you choose a resolution, you should stick to just a few (like only two) and you should pronounce them and make people know it. (That’s a lot of and there) So this year, I am focusing my resolutions and they’re as follows:

1. Take care of my skin and hair. I don’t have a skin care regimen because I am lazy and I realized that it is high time that I start loving my skin more. As for my hair, you have seen how unruly my hair is on pictures. Whatever I wear, I don’t feel confident because of my wind-blown hair. This year, I will regain that confidence. I started with a hair rebond last December 26 and I promise to take care of my hair so it won’t go back to being buhaghag.

2. Get rid of my pregnancy fats. It has been six months and I still have a huge belly that sometimes people mistaken me as pregnant. This year, I will exercise regularly to get the shape I have before I got pregnant with Ayex.

3. Materially, our goal is to finally own a house and a sustainable business.

That’s it. I will go back here again next year and hopefully I am successful in achieving these goals.
