Our social butterfly turns 6!

Our little tot just turned six-month old, and she enjoys being around with new faces, especially with kids.  A weekend is never complete without going to a mall or church, or anywhere with people hanging out.  I am happy that at such a young age, she seems to be one sociable kiddo. 

It’s Feeding Time

Next week, our Garrie will turn 6 months old and by then, she’s ready for her first baby food.  As a first time mom, this is another baby’s milestone that I would cherish forever.

Everyone in the family is now excited and eager to feed Garrie, in fact my sister Haidee, already bought some baby food for her fave niece.  For convenience, I bought a set of baby food processor while, Hubby is already preparing Garrie’s DIY high-chair, and we can’t wait to see her on it…that doubles the excitement!

Immunization and All

Last week, I brought lil Garrie to her Pedia for her scheduled Rotarix vaccine.  Her Pedia is like the most in-demand Pedia in town!  A long queue of patients is almost always expected in every visit, and I’m sure those parents who patiently waited for their turn wouldn’t mind as the lady pedia has a sunny disposition and apparently, children are not afraid to go near her.  My Garrie loves her clinic – her eyes usually roll with excitement with the clinic’s colorful walls, and I often hear her cooing and giggling…music to mum’s ears, indeed! 

Anyway, going back to the vaccine thingy… Garrie had her Rotarix vaccine, a brand of rotavirus oral vaccine given in a series of 2 doses, and each dose costs Php 2,800 ($66).   According to emedicinehealth.com, “Rotavirus oral vaccine contains up to five strains of rotavirus. Infection with rotavirus can affect the digestive system of babies and young children, causing severe stomach or intestinal illness.  The rotavirus oral vaccine is used to help prevent this disease in children” [Click here to read more about Rotavirus].

Little-ly blonde

I always look forward to weekends, particularly Saturday afternoon when I can have quality time with Garrie, my sis Haidee and my two nephews, Maxi and Audrie who adore their baby cousin so much. Our quick weekend getaway is Parkmall, a new mall just 5-minute ride away from our place.  

Three Saturdays ago, we looked for Garrie’s swimsuit for a supposedly family pool affair but unfortunately, it didn’t push through at the last minute.  Anyway, we bought her a one-piece swimsuit with cover up.  I will post a picture of her sexy suit in my next blog.  As we hopped in from one store to another, Audrie took off the mannequin’s blonde wig (false hair) and playfully put on Garrie’s head.  We laughed out loud at the sight of a blondy baby loving her new look!  

This is just one of those special moments we share on our typical lazy-Saturday-afternoon.  TGIS!! c",)

Daddy’s gifts

Because of little Garrie’s recent fever, Daddy could not help himself but treat her little girl and guess what --- shopping!!! Yes, SHOPPING…oh, how I envied my little Garrie!  I even asked hubby if I would also get sick (God forbid) will I get the chance to splurge myself courtesy of him? Of course he replied with a BIG NO! :P

i am strong mom...relax =)

Daddy bought his little gurl not one but two pairs of super cute shoes.  I so love the red boots! At her young age, she now has 7 pairs of shoes – 2 crib shoes, a pair of slippers and 4 baby shoes.  My little Garrie being imeldific? Hmm, why not?! *wink* *wink*
