Divi Day

Hubby was busy last Saturday morning, so I was left with the boys at home.  I had to do some errands in Divisoria + grocery shopping, and JJ insisted on tagging along, so I brought him and the yaya with me.  It was his first Divi experience, and yaya and I held on to him tightly.

Along the way, he bought his own toys :)  Prices were really a steal, so I couldn't say NO to this little boy:

Chinese-version of Ninjago, P50 each

Sunday Birthday

This is a delayed post, been so busy with work that I wasn't able to upload this.  The other Sunday, hubby and I were godparents to Denise Ashley.  We brought the kids to the party proper and JJ had a great time there, while baby JP enjoyed the sweets and the colorful decor/balloons.

The Fab Four

Yes, it's been 4 months since my last post.  Here's the latest news on the Cheng family:

I gave birth to a baby boy last September 10, 2012 at 1256am

Here is one of his first photos—his name is John Philippe or JP for short

Fast forward to October, and it was hubby's birthday. 
We had a delicious dinner in Greek Kuzina, which is located at P. Guevarra St., San Juan :P

Then, we had our own little candle blowing for JJ at home.  
He's now three years old, and is in the stage of enjoying birthdays and birthday parties.

JP turned a month old two days after.

Next day was our 4th wedding anniversary... another candle blowing opportunity for JJ

So, here we are... The Fab Four :)

How time flies! Here's to more posts ;)

Movie Time

We dropped by my parents' place before heading home last Sunday night, and we ended up watching a movie with my brothers - The Adventures of Tin Tin

Little J's eyes were glued to the big TV

Check out the videos below :D

Can't wait to watch more shows with the Little J ;)

See Little J Kick!

As soon as I got home, I lied down on the sofa, and watched my two boys play "soccer."  I was so amazed with Little J's motor skills---check out the short video below:

Good thing I remembered to record it.  He and his dad were playing for more than 15 minutes already by the time I did this.  We were so proud that I showed my parents his kicking skills.  My dad., who used to play soccer in high school/college, can't wait to play soccer with him in a few more years ;)

Our Poor Little J :(

Little J slipped in our room and bumped his face on the wooden frame of our bed a few days ago :(  He cried, but he cried the loudest when we put ice on the bruised area and kept saying "No More Na." So, we stopped.  Took a few shots of him last Sunday, two days after the accident for "documentation." hehe...

My mother-in-law joked to my father-in-law that Little J got into a fight.  My FIL said Little J's too nice to fight... awww... Little J is really a nice kid, and he's such a strong little boy :D

Food Lovers

My two boys love munching on just about anything.  Here's a long video clip, about 2 minutes, on them toasting and having fun eating :)

Did you see Little J dancing while eating?  It's so cute that he knows how to throw the wrapper in the garbage, too! :D

Happy birthday, Ang Kong

We celebrated my father-in-law's 70th birthday last Wednesday night at Circles in Shangri-la Makati.

It was a fun night filled with all his grandchildren, and we will be adding one more before the year ends, so that makes seven! :D

Umbrella, Please!

Last week, when it was raining a lot, Little J decided to bring out his umbrella.  He pointed at it and kept saying "umbrella."

Here he is, playing with his cousin, Gwynnie

So amazed and excited that he's learning to say a lot of words now. 

Can't wait when he starts going to school this summer :D

Why We Work

According to Little J,  this is why hubby and I work...

Our nanny told me one evening when I got home that she asked Little J where his mama was, his answer: "Work. Toy." And his dada?  "Work. Buy Milk."  This put a big smile to my face, and got me teary-eyed.  Such a bright boy to know why hubby I work, it's to provide and take care of him :D

And here are some more toys that I got for him at Toy Kingdom: the bowling set is P200, while the velcro bull's eye set is P100.  Not bad, right?  And they're now wrapped in kraft paper, too!  I'm so glad SM group is going towards being clean and green :)

Love you, Little J :D

Bonding with Dad

Just had to share these cute photos of my two boys playing PS3 :D
We got my brothers' old PS3 recently ;)

Aren't they adorable? :D
I'm in Cebu for work, but will be home tonight. Can't wait to be with them.

A New Addition

Mid-January, on the "birthday" weekend, I had to take a test.  I was headed to Hong Kong for work the following week, and needed to know something.  This came out:

We've been planning for a new addition to the family, so seeing this was quite a disappointment.  Hubby insisted I was still pregnant though, so we waited. There's nothing else to do anyway, right?  After all, I was delayed only for a few days at the time of the test.

I took the test again two weeks after, realizing that it's been too long.  I had an easy pregnancy before, and there were hardly any symptoms that showed signs of me pregnant at that time, except having longer and stronger nails, and I was nesting and cleaning the house non-stop for a month now.  I even spent my birthday cleaning the house!  So, there, I took the test again:

We went straight to our doctor to have myself checked and confirmed :)

I was asked to come back two weeks after, which was last Saturday, to confirm the heartbeat :D  Hubby and I saw the little thumper pumping fast ;)

How time flies, I am already 8 weeks pregnant :)  Overwhelmed and excited at the same time, I gotta make sure everything's extra organized (both at home and at work).  I don't want people to feel they have to work around me just because I'm pregnant, so here's to 7 more months of organized chaos until we get to see our little thumper :D

Fashion for Two Boys

We had lunch today at the newly-opened Shabu-Shabu place at the basement of Power Plant Mall, called Gansu-Shabuway.  I love that they have coloring materials for the little one :D

To read about our experience, click on this link.

Here's a photo of Little J and hubby in "almost" matching outfits ;)

I try not to make them wear the exact clothes, but just similar ones ;)

Enter the Water Dragon

For the first day of the Year of the Water Dragon, we had dinner at Shangri-la EDSA hotel.  I had Little J wear his Korean costume again (para sulit), and everyone loved it instantly ;)

Then, we went up to watch the Dragon dance on the 2nd floor

Little J was pretty stressed out with the noisy drum beat though hehe...  Can't blame him, I was like that also when I was about 3-5 years old ;)

Happy New Year again!

Gong Xi Fa Cai :D

We celebrated Chinese New Year's Eve at Xin Tian Ti restaurant at Crowne Plaza Hotel with my side of the family last night, with temple hopping in Chinatown past midnight.  I just wanted to document what he (partially) wore to dinner:

Here he is getting ready. We got this Korean costume at our last Seoul trip in October:

At the resto:

Can I just say that their Scallop Fruit Salad and Abalone with Dried Scallops are the bomb? :)

A final shot of the family:

May the Year of the Water Dragon bring us good fortune :D

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

"Skyping"

Another skype session happened earlier tonight with hubby—he's in China on a business trip.




Little J took these shots :) We can't wait to see you this weekend, Dada :D

Mic, Please :)

Because our little man had fun singing at his grandparents' place over the weekend, I brought out a similar microphone toy (which I bought for him at the Toy Kingdom warehouse sale last year) for him

I was amazed that you can also plug in your music player—will try that out soon :)

Budding Singer

This video made me smile; shot at my in-laws house this afternoon.

Hubby sent this one earlier tonight, while we "skyped" :D

XOXO

Flying Out

I'm leaving with my mom on a short trip to Singapore in a few hours.  I'm always sad the night before trips like these, as I will be missing my two boys :(  Here's a shot of them taken last December 30, at Nuvali.  Will post more on this trip soon :)

Have a great weekend!

New Year's Day

The next morning, on New Year's Day, was spent at Cartimar.  Because hubby got his new bike, he wanted to buy Little J one also.

Little J was one happy boy.
He kept pointing at the bike and saying "bike" :D
Another new word!

Then it was off to Midas Hotel in Roxas Boulevard for lunch with my side of the family

Little J bonded with the boys and the gadgets

Here are the last two shots of the day:

Hope everyone had a great start to 2012 :D Cheers!
