Baby Girl's Birthday Costumes

To help me decide what costume Jhaydii will wear on her 1st birthday, I surfed over the net and grabbed photos of babies wearing the cutest costumes. Here are my choices from Costume Works.

Hmm, cute! I wish JD could wear one of them... Think think and decide.... Need to look for more :)



JD Will Soon Turn 1

Days go by so quickly, so as the babies. It's like every month there are many big developments and changes happening. This is why we should always savor and treasure the moments with our baby, because it is as if the time is so limited, limited yet so blessed.

JD will be turning one next month - March 21 to be exact. And I have no exact idea on what theme to be chosen, I haven't started anything yet. I can't start to organize as of the moment, hmmm, and I am sure I will be cramming when the time gets closer. I want to give her a nice party - it's her Christening Day as well, but how can I give her a nice one when I can't move and start organizing?

See - and I only have a simple list, hay. I hope I could find a right time to start. What will trigger me then? If you happen to bump into my blog and would like to share your idea - please I am very much welcome to entertain, I need a nice idea for a baby girl's 1st birthday :) Thank you so much!

Finally... JD Utters MAMA

One of the most awaited milestones of a baby is hearing them uttering MAMA, mommy, inay or DADA, daddy, papa or tata, tatay. I once heard this from Jhaydii when I think she was 7 months, she said MAMA but did not repeat again. And on exactly February 9, 2013 (she's 10 month old) - she finally repeatedly utters Mama, (yun nga lang, it was combined with expressions and cries) mamamamamama with blowing bubbles from mouth. Haha.

And to prove that, I will post the video I had that day :) You judge if it's alright to say she is saying MAMA.

On Baby's Oral Care

As early as birth, our baby had her oral care. JD's mouth is being cleaned by the use of cotton balls dampened from the distilelled water. It was a bit tough cleaning her mouth though, pretty simple - it's because she has a tiny mouth making it hard to insert the pointing finger with a cotton, and the baby closes her mouth too as I cleanse it.

I already bought the silicon brush type - thought I can use it even JD is days old, but because her mouth is too small, I did not use it until she is 3 months old.

She's on her 10th month now, she has 4 teeth and so I brush her teeth regularly.

With the advice of a mother officemate, I bought a kiddie toothpaste, the one that is safe when swallowed - she told me to buy the Sansflou but was out-of-stock, so I decided to buy the Pigeon, a good brand.  From the time being, I love brushing her teeth using the silicon brush and orange flavor Pigeon baby toothpaste. Funny though, my baby bites my finger every time I brush her teeth :) And when I am not at home, my mother does the brushing.

This is a good way to train your baby how to take care of their teeth and their oral hygiene as well.

Till then,

Jhaydii Can Stand

My husband and I were happy to see that our baby is able to stand on her own now. I won't even know of it, good thing I let her play outside the room where my parents were sleeping. On her 10th month, JD can now stand. I'll post a video and picture here after a day :)

She's late compare to other babies, but I am still happy for her progress. She's getting bigger and heavier day after day.

Till then,
