I’ve been a lazy blogger, ugh!

I should remember to blog more frequently especially about the little girl. It makes me sad that I wasn’t able to post much about her and her development these past month but then again there’s no one else to blame but me.

Sigh.

We were at the mall last week and while we were at the bank the little girl kept looking and pointing at something. As I was busy filing up a form I didn’t notice her right away and she got a bit frustrated with me (lol). It turned out that she wanted me to look at the security cameras. There was one directly above us and another not so one a few feet away. I don’t know why it caught her eye though. The food fair was over and I kinda missed the tacos and the mango strudel, I hope there will be another one next month.

If you are in our house you will here a little voice calling for Mommy very often. The little girl seem to need me for something all the time, hehehe I don’t mind though. Last night we were watching the finals of Rhythmic Gymnastics and she was playing with her magnets, it is flat so she couldn’t take if off…she knew I was sitting behind her so she looked at me and said “Mommy! Mommy!” with her ever so cute voice. Repeat that around six times and you’ll get the picture. Yes it can be tiring to do the same thing over and over but it just makes me feel happy when she calls for me, or she wants my help with something. She plays on her own these days but when there is something she can’t do she will call me to help her. Sometimes I really hope she would just stay little and call for mommy everytime she needs help. I love being Mommy.

Try cooking pinakbet for lunch. Lots of vegetables to peel, chop, dice, etc isn’t?

Now try cooking pinakbet for lunch…with a toddler pulling your leg and saying “come come” with matching pout and almost going to cry look.

That was the scene at our kitchen this morning. I wanted to cook a decent meal for the two of us and the little girl wants my attention, and she won’t take no for an answer.

“Come” mean carry by the way, she wanted to be carried then taken to the living room where we should play.

Most of the time she lets me do my business in the kitchen and play peacefully by herself until I’m done.

Not this morning.

I know every baby develops differently. I also know that all moms think their child is the most adorable little person. I do not compare my little girl to the child next to her. But what would you do if someone does? (This is just a question). I asked because a friend of mine (who doesn’t have kids yet) asked me this the other day. Clearly she doesn’t have any clue about motherhood and how it works, well I’m a mommy and I’m still learning everyday. So I told her the truth, how I don’t like my Iyah being compared with another baby, especially when its not in a good way. You see her pedia always tell us she will most likely be as tall as me when she grows up (and by as tall as me I mean she’ll be petite). Of course I know that this trait is genetic and my husband’s family is not tall at all and in our family only my dad is. Among three daughters no one got that from him. So I’m okay with that, but apparently some people could find this a flaw (lol) and would often mention this in conversations. So as my friend and I talked some more about her inaanak she asked me if I ever upset when this happens and what will I do to stop it. Well I would do nothing. It is normal for others to compare their child to yours (although sometimes I wish they would stop at some point) and I’m fine with it. I know there’s nothing wrong with my little girl and even if she’s not the tallest baby in the room she’s lovely and she has a charming personality. Yes and I know other moms think like this about their child too.
