On received really nice clothes from my Aunts and Uncles. I still remember my winter coat Ninang Lynne gave me for Christmas. It was from Bloomingdales. Mom never took me there because she said it was way too expensive. I think she can only afford me Macy’s every now and then. My regular clothing store is Mervyn’s – where she can get me four dresses at the price of one from those expensive stores. Carter’s, Bonnie Jeans, Osh Kosh B’Gosh, Baby Gap and Izod are my Mom’s most favorite children apparel. She thinks they are pretty cute.

This one, Lola had to make the waist smaller. It is an Adidas set from Macy’s that was given on my first birthday by Craig and Felicia, friends of my Dad. It is supposed to be for two year-old tots but it is still kinda big so it took me another six months to try on it again.

I love it when Mommy is home because we get to do fun stuff. This afternoon, we went to the market encounter for Gramma Nicing to shop for souvenirs of the Fiesta. With me on her arms, she managed to take some pictures of the knick knacks sold at the encounter. One of my favorite is this snapshot of wooden roosters, they really look like the real ones.

Mommy loved these green hanging earrings with embossed white flower. And because she thinks the Asian Characters are awesome, she said she’s got to have this on her collection.

Even if it was so hot outside, it was still so much fun! Before we left for the day, we stopped by Jollibee to enjoy some pancit palabok, fried chicken and spaghetti. Here are pictures of today’s outing with the family:

Before anything else, I would like to share this picture of me when I the day I came to see the world. It was on the 911 anniversary of 2006. The hospital stuff were telling my Mom how I am a symbol of rebirth for those who lost their lives during that tragic 911. I was actually one of the three Babies born that same day said my Mom. At my Dad’s work in Costa Mesa, they even gave him a cake that says Congratulations!

My first picture of my Mom was such a treasure! And that first time Daddy carried me, Mom was able to snap a shot too.  On the third day before we were supposed to leave the hospital, a lady came to take my picture but I I just can’t open my eyes. Look, she even placed a pink ribbon on my hair… we ended up going home with it.

It was nine long months… I sure am glad to finally be here! Click here to view the whole gallery!
