Little C has this habit of “eating” our stuff especially electronics; remote controls, charger, mobile phones, and such. She already destroyed my optical mouse, her dad’s phone and my phone; but luckily it survived (her drool)! M gave her his old but still working mobile phone to play with, but she seems to know which to victimize.
I think we should get ourselves a water-proof cell phone case so she can’t do any harm to our unit in case she gets hold of it. No matter how she bites on it, this water proof case will protect the phone not just from water but also from grit and sand. I saw this among the many cell phone accessories sold online at SF Planet. There were so many accessories and blings for phones that I never knew existed! Anyway, the water proof case is just one solution. The best solution of all is to hide our phones away from her reach or sight.
She goes by many names. Her cousin Rjed who’s turning 5 today lovingly calls her “Caiteless”. To me she’s Katka, Caite, Caity or Caitlyn. Take your pick.
Blink, blink… I’m not dreaming at all. The little girl whom I fondly calls in this blog as little C will turn one year old next week. Though there are times I wish she had stayed longer in her 4 month old state (that age when babies are such helpless, little creatures who can only wave their hands and kick their legs without causing any trouble like peeling the wallpapers or reaching a box of candles), I can’t help but be excited for the coming months about the surprises she’ll delight us as she grows.
Yesterday - We were resting on the grass in front of the massive and impressive structure of Reichstag building in Berlin when little C caught sight of a Russian boy playfully posing for his dad’s camera. Without any hesitation and too happy to find a new playmate, little C hurriedly crawled towards him and befriended him.
Later on, whenever the boy would ran, little C would crawl after him too. It was an amusing sight!
We’re supposed to go to Berlin today but M said he’s tired so we postponed it. Instead we went to “China” to watch the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games 2008. Little C went too, dressed in a cute red Chinese cheongsam.
“China” here means our living room where the TV is (hehehe). Eurosports was covering the said event live from Beijing earlier.
I was inspired by these Chinese children who sang in the opening ceremonies wearing the national costumes from the different countries participating in this famous sports event:
I want to buy little C a shirt with her name on it. I saw one stall during the Pori Jazz making personalized embroidered shirts but it costs too much. I wouldn’t spend 10 euro on a simple embroidered name on a simple tee shirt. Call me cheapskate or whatever, but I just don’t think it’s worth it. And it wasn’t really that tempting to buy anyway coz if it was, then I would have done so the minute I saw it, just like this cute shirt I saw but ugh! it seems unfair, see this:
It’s cute alright but why don’t they make the same irresistible design which declares “I love mommy” too? Then there were more designs I saw which really fits little C, see below: Read the rest of this entry »
It’s an unexplainable feeling seeing my little girl grow up so fast. Just last year, we were so excited to see her come out from my womb, and soon she’ll be turning a year older (that’s next month already!). I’m very glad we have plenty of pictures and videos of her since she was born that will all give us pleasant memories to reminisce. At present, she’s becoming such a darling whose charm and joy is infectious. Even strangers and grumpy old men would break into a smile when they see her. She even has her own legion of fans and stalkers.
let me guess. you have a new toy? nope?
a new dress? nope?
had a fun time with your cousins? still nope?
okay i give up! tell me pleaseeee? Read the rest of this entry »
Yesterday little C turned another month older. Yeyyy! She started out her day with a birthday cake treat from her aunt. Then we spent the whole day slaving in the kitchen – cooking spaghetti, beef pochero and baking empanada. After we’ve stuffed ourselves, we went out and enjoyed the rest of day in the park. Teehee!
my labor of love: empanadas!!!
Everything was perfect, except that M wasn’t with us to celebrate little C’s special day. huhuhu
More pics to follow of our stroll in Kirjurinluoto Park…
