A Letter To Olivia On Her 6th Month...

To My Dearest Olivia,

By the time you're all grown up to read this, you might ask me about this blog and why was I so inconsistent in filling it up. You may wonder, what happened to the first few months of your life and why I didn't bother entering any entry... The reason my dear, is the one you see in the mirror hehe ;)

But this letter isn't about being inconsistent but this is about what wasn't written.

You see, it's not like I wasn't able to document your life. In the following weeks, I'll be putting in tons of photos and videos I took of you growing up from the moment you came out and every day, every week, to every month after. I documented it. From your smiles and even your cries, I have it on both photo and video. I really didn't bother posting as much because I would rather enjoy the real thing in being able to take care of you and play with you. You may not be aware yet but I thank God everyday that I am able to work at home and be able to spend time with you and wake up to your laughing every single day. I thank God that I am around to witness all your little milestones and even those milepebbles if there is such a thing hehe

6 MONTHS! My golly... time flies indeed. It seems just like the other week when I was rushing after the nurses with a videocam just to get a shot of you as they cleaned you up after delivery. Now, you've slowly grown into a beautiful baby girl with lots of spunk and energy that it takes us both parents to handle you. It's been really a fun ride everyday even if your crying had brought forth heart palpitations in my body and chest pains. 

Let me recall a little if I can...

0 month December - was the hardest. Your mom couldn't get up for 2 weeks and I we didn't have any help yet so the pressure was on. You were soooo little then. 

1st month January - You used to make sounds and your favorite was "a-ko"

2nd month February - You started to become very responsive already to us and our playtime.

3rd month March - I felt sad when you got your ears pierced. I loved your clean baby look before the earrings :( You could sit with supprt already. You also started to laugh heartily. You wrestled with your stuffed toys too!

4th month April - You started watching cartoons and you were very responsive to it already

5th month May - You started sitting on your own! You also started eating solids. Matakaw ka. You also fell off the bed because you roll so quick already :)

So far and randomly, here's what you love...

You love TV commercials.

You love station IDs

You love fabric patterns 

You love playtime with dad and mom

You love solids! hehe

And with your great love we also shower you with all the love in the world and in our hearts. 

I love you!

That's it for now. There's more to come soon.

Dad

 

ps. You know what's funny? I NEVER imagined myself using the term sweetheart or darling EVER. And I didn't use it for your mom at all. But somehow, just looking at you brings it out of me. There's some magic there that I don't know how to explain.
