Maxyn turns 3 months today

She now enjoys other activities apart from sleeping such as talking to people, playing with barney, going out in her stroller and sucking her fist.

The photo above was taken this morning. When it’s a sunny morning, she walks me up to the village gate in her stroller. Sometimes it makes me think of skipping work and just stroll with her around the village.

She now coos a lot and enjoys it more when people talk to her. She even shout and giggle when you baby talk her. She also likes listening to Barney’s I love you song. She has also discovered a way to comfort herself through sucking her fist. Ayex never did that and so I’m really amazed when I see Max comfort herself.

To celebrate, Ate Meriam made maja blanca and I think it was Nanay who cooked Pancit. Oh time, why do you pass by so fast?

My Bikers

Ayex can finally ride her trike again as she now knows to use the pedal! She even biked with her daddy two weekends ago when the rain was not pouring. I’m super proud of this another milestone. Maybe next time we’ll buy her a trainer bicycle.

Being working mom steals a lot of time from my family. I am away from my kids for more or less 12 hours a day: 9 hours of work and about 3ince Maxyn is still small, she gets more attention from me than her Ate. I know it shouldn’t be the case so I make it up with Ayex during bed time.

Before we go to bed, I give Ayex a half bath. During this, we play pretend in the bathroom and make loads of bubbles. Hearing her giggle and laugh out load somehow decreases my stress.

After the half bath, we sometimes watch Playhouse Disney together where I join her perform the actions in the show we are watching. We sing, hop, dance, clap, shout, and even draw as we watch the television.

Our catching up continues in the bed. While lying down, I let her tell me stories of anything. Ayex is in that age where if she remembers something, she tells you the story of it. And I’m telling you, this little girl’s memory is super! Maybe because I breastfed her. Hahaha! Anyway, her stories range from how her day went or something that happened from the past that she suddenly remember. During this, I discover her new words and expressions. Yes, expressions like Uy, bagong ligo and she is only 3 years old. While she tells me stories that could last for an hour or more, I massage her feet. And before I know it, she’s already asleep.
