Cagalli's Corner

My baby bungisngis has learned to say "mama"! Yup yup, it's "mama" and not "dada" (read that daddy? hehehe). Actually, she was able to say it twice last month already. But lately she has been saying it more often :) It feels really good hearing her say it - even though she usually does it when she's about to cry or she demands something, hahaha. It's one of those small things that tug at the heart - the simple joys of motherhood :)

Ok, so I've enable anonymous comments on this site. I didn't realize that it was off before. Sorry :)

Anyhoo,we were laughing so hard last night cause Kalli was imitating her daddy's facial expressions. Her daddy would tuck his chin and pout his lips. When Kalli sees him, she would do the same. They did that around 3 times. Afterwards, every time Kalli sees her daddy, even when Leo's not doing the expression anymore, Kalli would still do it. She was so funny!

Here's a picture of her doing her mimic thing

I feel that I should blog more often - like every other day or even daily. Why? Cause Kalli's growing and learning so quickly and there's just so much to tell!

These past few days she has learned to grab her feet. Of course whatever she grabs she puts in her mouth. Hahaha, pretty soon she'll be sucking on her big toe. It's amazing how flexible babies are! Note to self: Enroll Kalli in gymnastics or ballet before she loses that natural flexibility :D
Kalli had her monthly check-up last saturday. She took 1 immunization shot, and guess what? She did NOT cry at all! I was so proud! My baby was so brave :) But then she had her ears pierced too afterwards. And goodness, she cried SO MUCH then! It broke my heart to see her cry like that. I almost did not let her doctor pierce the other ear! Well it's a good thing I did cause now she looks like a princess :) Problem is now I have a new reason not sleep at night cause I keep worrying that she'll grab her earings and pull it off!

But Kalli reached a milestone that topped off all her other accomplishments for the week.Today (or last night, although Leo and I just saw it this morning) she learned to roll to her tummy. She can turn now! And not just the almost-full-turn-with-arms-trapped-under that she has been practicing before, but the real look-mommy-I-am-even-lifting-my-head turn! Leo and I are so happy and proud :) Of course we took a lot of pictures again, as well as videos. I'll try to upload it this week and post the link here.

Ok, so that's it for now. I actually have more stories to tell, but let's leave that for later - if I get the time. Right now I need to prepare myself and Kalli cause we're going to visit her lola.
Until next post (hopefully with pictures next time)!

It's Kalli's 4th month-birthday today! I wish we (daddy and mommy) could have been with her the whole day, but of course we had to go to work. We planned to go home as early as we could, but still ended up getting home at 9pm It's a good thing Kalli's still awake when we got home. Actually, lately she was always awake when we get home. Even when she's already sleeping, she'd wake up to greet us. It's really sweet - like she's waiting for quality time with mommy and daddy :)

Anyhoo, back to her birthday, we bought her a cake and palabok from red ribbon. Grandma also cooked her sotanghon soup. We set up all the food (including dinner) on the table and had a pictorial session - as we always do on her month-birthday. I'll post the link to the pictures once I have uploaded them.

Right now Kalli's still awake and playing with her daddy. I guess I have to go back there now. Wouldn't want to miss spending time with her on her birthday.
Until next post....
