Let's go swimming, swimming, swimming...

So I bought Brianna this mini pool last Sunday and we broke it in yesterday. The pool was not yet even halfway full when she got in. Excited much?

I'm glad she's having fun with it. She was in there again a while ago and didn't want to leave anymore. We convinced her, though... I wanted to go in there, too, to be honest. Mukhang masarap e. :)

Summertime.

Summertime has come upon us, people of the Philippines, and we all know what that means: BEACH TIME! There is only one way to hide your eyes from the brightness of the sun while looking like the supermodel mom that you are: Sunglasses.

Where is the best place to get your sunglasses, you ask? Firmoo.com. That's where I got my sunglasses and they just came in the mail today.

Firmoo.com offers sunglasses, eyeglasses, goggles and all other eyewear you could possibly want. You know what's better, though? If you don't have the 20-20 vision you once had like me, you can just send your doctor's prescription to them and they will gladly put the corrective lenses on your chosen eyeglasses. You can even have them UV protected. You just have to pay for additional fees. Once your glasses are done, they'll be sending your glasses via courier.

So, what are you waiting for? Visit Firmoo's website, www.firmoo.com and purchase your eyewear now!

One year and one month.

I am now getting really worried because Brianna still hasn't started walking. I know this is still within normal but I am not feeling really comfortable with knowing that she still can't walk. She can't even stand up on her own yet. In fact, she can't make herself stand up yet.

I am really bothered by this. Can somebody help me encourage her? I don't know what to do anymore. I just get even more and more frustrated by the day. :|

Brianna's 1st birthday in photos.

So, I know posting the 1st birthday photos will be late now but I sure want it to be here for documentation purposes.

So... This is awkward....

I just got Brianna's 1st birthday photos yesterday and I still have to resize them so I'm gonna have to postpone the blog entry again...

Irritation

I bought this water-based bug spray for Brianna to use because recently, mosquitoes have been common visitors in our house. I got this from a Multiply shop site that caters specifically to babies. I was too excited to use it and when it came in the mail, I immediately sprayed it on my hands and rubbed it on Brianna's skin. A few seconds into it, Brianna started crying and her skin turned tomato red that I had to wipe the liquid off of her. She was either allergic to one of the ingredients or her skin was that sensitive.

I researched the ingredients of the spray which were lemongrass distillate and oil, citronella oil and eucalyptus oil and saw that none of these would cause harm to a baby. I don't really know what happened but I didn't and will not repeat it again because I don't like the way she cried when I first put it on her.

What kind of mom are you?

I was curious to know what kind of mom to Brianna I am so I took this test that's powered by OFF! Lotion in the Top Moms Facebook page. This is the result I got:

I would really want to believe that I am a discerning mom. :)

If you want to know what kind of mom you are, you can take the test by liking the Top Moms Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/topmoms or you can visit their website at http://topmoms.net/. They are giving away prizes to lucky moms who take the test. I am fortunate enough to get a prize from Top Moms. I will be claiming it one of these days and I'm going to post the prize here.
