Trisha's Cogie (the 1st)

Trisha is very fond of Dogs. She got her very first stuffed dog on her 1st birthday as a gift from MTB (that's Ashley). Then she got Cogie(the 1st) as a Christmas present from her Tito, MAA. And when we came back from our Christmas vacation in Baguio, she got her third dog from Ninong Wa which she also named Cogie (the 2nd). So now, she has a total of three dogs in her playpen. And she really looks for all of them every single day. We also have to go out every weekend to dog watch in Bonifacio High Street. I plan to get her a real dog when she grows up, well, in time when we get a bigger house to keep her dog :).

For now, here's a picture of Cogie (the 1st) given by her Tito, MAA.

My Crazy Little Girl :)

My daughter is really funny. She has a very good sense of humor at her young age of 1 year and 3 mos. She knows how and when to be funny and really has the ability of making people laugh :). She makes funny faces when I take her pictures. She can put on a serious face one minute and be so funny the next. I so love my crazy little girl :).

31 and Overweight ;)

I celebrated my 31st birthday yesterday :). On the same day, I got my pre-employment medical exam results and it said - FIT with Advice! When I checked the details, it said that I am overweight by 3.5 KG from the maximum range of my ideal weight of 40.9 to 50 KG. And there was a doctor's recommendation for Weight Reduction through proper diet and regular exercise!

I was alarmed! I am getting old and unfit all in one day ;). So, immediately upon that realization, I got in touch with one of my new friends at work and asked her to be my health consultant for my weight reduction program. I also asked my hubby, MS, to run with me regularly for my cardio and help me watch what I eat when I am out of the office.

So, tomorrow, February 21, I have a schedule with our dietician to draft my proper diet and to get my measurements (current weight and body fat) as basis for my weight reduction program. I am excited. Not just to lose weight but to be fit once again :).

Good luck to me!

Potty Training Trisha

I have always worried about how to Potty Train Trisha. I would want to get rid of her diapers as early as possible. Partly to save on the cost of diapers (that's my practical side) but big part of it is because she's a girl and no diapers is a prettier sight (that's the kikay side of Mommy).

So last Christmas, when we were thinking about what present to get her. I thought about a Potty Trainer! I know I know, that's so corny of me and Daddy MS. But we got too many toys and too many clothes from her Birthday Party in October 2007 and we were expecting more toys and more clothes for Christmas presents. So we wanted to give her something that nobody will think of getting her as a Christmas present.

But wait till you see her Potty! It's no ordinary Potty, it sings to encourage her for potty training and it gives out stickers when it senses her *poop* dropping to the bowl. There is even a flushing water sound when you hit the flush :).




It's a nice product from Safety 1st. It resembles a real toilet bowl so closely that Trisha can associate her Potty with the real toilet bowl. It would be easier to shift her to the real one when the time comes.

As of today, she only used it once to make pupu. But she would usually sit on it and say "wiwi" but with her diaper on. Or when I know she's about to make pupu, I would make her sit on it while doing her thing even with her diaper on. I just want her to be able to identify doing the "wiwi" from doing the "pupu". And train her to tell us when she would do either of that. When she is able to tell us already, then we would be ready to remove her diaper whenever she needs to do either.

Hearts' Day in 08

I was surprised to receive flowers from MS yesterday. It was indeed a nice surprise. My husband doesn't really like giving flowers as presents, he has too many reasons to justify that. And somehow, I have already learned to appreciate his reasons :). So, you can just imagine my surprise to see a bouquet of purple tulips in my seat when he fetched me from work :).




More so, along with the tulips, there was a card of my favorite Me To You Bears.




The bear in the card is actually a magnet :). Which I placed on my Table Talker in the office.



Hon, thanks for the sweet Valentine's Day presents. Next time, ok lang walang flowers :). Diamonds na lang ;).

Trisha's Videos

I haven't been in the mood to blog lately. I can't get myself to write for some strange reason. When I get home from work, I just usually spend my time playing with Trisha until we go to bed.

I want to share Trisha's videos posted by MS in his multiply site. Check them out when you have time :).

Here's Trisha's famous kembot...

And lately, she has been wearing all my shoes non-stop, especially my high heeled shoes. See this.

Hope you enjoy the videos :). Good night.

3G ;)

That's 3 generations of us :). Lola, Me and Trisha.

I only dream of bringing up my daughter the way mom brought me up. My mom has the biggest influence in my life. She has made me the person that I am now.

I would want Trisha to say that about me someday ;).

I love you Mom, I love you Trisha :).

Say Cheese :)

Cute cute!

Trisha really loves the camera. She loves making faces. She loves to make us laugh.

And see how much she looks like her dad. Their smiles are so identical, to the littlest details of their smile marks... :)
