Babysitting day today again in our trusty portable playpen as the in-laws are still out.
See her laziness while playing/lying down:
After her lazy bout, she was doing something that caught my eye. Take a look at these 2 videos to see what she was trying to do.
I don't know how she can be this makulit. Makulit can roughly be translated to naughty or playful, I guess. She's so energetic and just plainly being a child. I get fed up and think that maybe she got it from our beagle, Sabrina. LOL Many more years to go! Ha! Ha!
How about you, do you have videos of your child / baby being makulit or playful? Or maybe videos of them doing things that are unusual? Share the links in the comments section and I'll pick 5 (or 10 lol) and post them here in my blog. :)
My dad and I babysat CC again today as my in-laws needed to finish stuff for SSS. Dad had a brilliant idea so he brought CC's convertible sofa from our bedroom and placed it sideways. CC then went inside and sat there, as if she'd already done it before.
Take a look at this series of pictures to see how she enjoyed playing with her sofa and of course with her grand dad.
Look at my dad's expression. lol
Look at her smile :)
I had some time to spare so I did a GIF file of her pics. Ha Ha! Check it out below:
Here's a video of them while playing peek-a-boo which is locally known as eat bulaga.
Aren't babies the cutest? Time sure flies fast.
Do you also have videos of your babies / toddlers playing peek-a-boo? Share the links in the comments section and I'll pick 5 (or probably 10) and compile them in a post. :)
For the past few days, it has been our routine to wake up a bit early to stroll around the neighborhood so I can exercise and get a bit of sunshine.
Here's a pic of CC this morning
Did you notice anything odd about the picture? Nope? Take a look at this next photo so you know what I was referring to.
Here's a video to show you the area:
Did you see the difference in the street floors? Usually, I don't care about these stuff but when you're pushing a stroller with a child on it, it does matter. I'm also very careful when pushing so the wheel won't get stuck in the gaps of the street floors. I usually have to push sideways when there's a gap.
You've seen the difference as shown in the picture and the video above but let me also show you how it felt like when you push a stroller on these uneven floors.
It would've been great if they also smoothened the rest of the street. Maybe they just smoothened that side because it was part of the driveway to the mini garage they had as there are still renovations going on with half of the building. I really am not sure what happened here but it really was odd.
Anyways, moving on to other things that happened today.
CC and I were on our way home when I saw a lot of students on the street. I thought they were having a parade which was quite normal as there is an elementary school near our place.
CC looks on as the students were sitting on the street floor
A closer look revealed that they had floor mats on their heads. They might've been practicing earthquake drills, I thought. We stayed for a bit as I didn't want to pass by in front of everyone.
CC and I went home as the sun was already too hot for us. After 30 minutes or so, a new set of students passed by for the drill.
Those are today's point of interest around our neighborhood. How about you, what have noticed lately in your neighborhood? Share them in the comments section, too! :)
Usually, CC is babysat by my in-laws from morning until 6PM as my husband J works and I have freelance jobs. Today was different. My MIL (mother-in-law) had to go to SSS to process her pension as she is now a senior citizen. My FIL (father-in-law) accompanied her, too, so CC was left with me and my dad.
As she is now fond of walking, we had to make sure that the area was safe. My dad had a great idea and we (CC and I) were all excited about it.
Using parts of CC's disassembled crib, floor mats from our room and strings used for whipping tops (trumpo), my dad was able to assemble this. It made our babysitting easier!

Finally, CC sleeps!
My in-laws came home around 3 PM and got CC from our house. At around 6PM, I went to their house to get CC.
Check out this video of her while she practices to walk:
Here's another video:
She's growing up too fast! Next thing I know, she'll start school! Good thing I made this blog so I can go back to these wonderful times. :)
This is a continuation of my earlier post. After we ate at Kenny Rogers Roasters at Glorietta, we went straight to SM Makati.
We went to the restroom and the nearby breastfeeding station so I could nurse Chloe. I thought she was going to sleep as it's past her nap time. But, no, she just kept pushing and playing around that I just stopped nursing her.
She was very naughty and was getting angry every time someone held her hand to assist her in walking. So I ended up tailing her to make sure to catch her when she loses her balance. Unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough and her head hit the floor. She cried non-stop but we knew we could soothe her by buying her another Big Eyes stuffed toy from SM. We already bought the reindeer for her last week.
Check out this video of her (most of which are in Filipino) where she tries to choose a stuffed toy. It's actually between her choice of toy or her Aunt Cath's choice (unicorn) lol.
We ended up getting the pink monkey this time! LOL

We just went around SM and decided to go home early as we planned to go to Ayala Triangle to watch the Lights and Sounds display.
It rained around 4 PM and we weren't sure if we'll still be going. It stopped after a while and we decided to continue with our plan.
At around 5:30PM, we started to head out from our house. I was with my husband, my daughter, my sister and our 2 dogs (beagle and a shih tzu).
I can never get a good picture of Sabrina (beagle) and Chola (shih tzu) especially when they are together. They are a playful duo!
We walked towards the direction of Ayala Triangle for a few minutes and when we've reached the Fire Station, C was already crying and rubbing her head - an indication that she was sleepy. We had to turn back as she wasn't stopping.
Our plan failed, however, it was a good thing that we tried to accomplish it. I didn't expect to walk that far, too. I felt good and it might be because I drink Buah Merah Mix.
I hope we can go next weekend to watch the Lights and Sounds Show. :)
We started our day early as today was a Sunday. We attend Sunday Service at Bread of Life - Makati on a regular basis. They are located in Greenbelt 1, Makati City.

After the service, we walked to The Landmark and were debating as to where we would be eating our lunch. For the past 3 weeks, my grandma has been suggesting to go and eat at Luk Yuen. I wasn't the type to spend too much on food as I know that there are places that offer less. Even though she insists, I just usually say, "Let's go to the food court instead!". They have to take into consideration that I can't eat oily and fatty food so all the fast food places are scratched from our list. A big NO to Mcdo, Jolibee, Chowking and KFC.
We then settled for Kenny Rogers Roasters in Glorietta.

I didn't have time to take a picture of their signage
from the front so this was my attempt to get a good picture. LOL

Our orders came, however, we forgot to take a pic even if we agreed to take one. I guess everyone was hungry!
