Crawling at 10 months and a half


My daughter is now almost 11 months and she’s crawling already! Finally! I’ve been waiting for so long for this moment to arrive. I’m so excited about it. It’s about two weeks ago, she already figured out how to crawl finally. She’s been sitting up since she was about 6 months old. She’s scotching for over 4 months and finally she had a blast! She’s everywhere now! 

Well, I’m quite alarmed about her being late to crawl. Since my son has been on time when doing so. I think mostly babies on their ages can able to sit up by the time they were 4 months, the started crawling by 6 to 7 months, then by 9 months they’re already walking, or trying to stand up and walk. But, my daughter is going to turn 11 months next week and just started crawling. I asked my sister in law who had daughters too and she told me her daughters also has not been started walking since they’re about over a year old. I felt relieved knowing that I’m not alone with this dilemma.  

A lot of parents out there have been worried about having their kids not on time according to a standard development for babies’ ages. Kids are all very individual. I think as long as they are normal and healthy, I think there’s nothing to worry about. I think it is because we are carrying the first one around so much and playing so much with them that they do not have to bother with learning as early. All kids are so different, even in the same family.

Now, I wonder when my daughter going to start walking, I know it will soon. I think that would be another different story!

In Need of a Digital Antenna


Last month, we got our son a new TV since the old one he had got broken. So, we got him this time an HDTV flat screen at 19 inches. It was the best TV for him at his room. He loves it too. Plus, it is a DVD combo TV which he can able to watch his favorite movies too like he used to on his old television. Well, we got it from Wal-Mart where we also bought a wall mount for it because we’re seemed so worried about him to be able to broke his TV again.

Anyway, since we got him a new TV, we were excited to install a digital cable on his TV too; unfortunately the cable network that we had can’t able to do so due to the wiring inside our house. There’s no way to put through the cable wiring all the way to my son’s room from our basement where our cable has been installed. It was devastating. We still need to contact our landlord to tell him about it. If he let us to drill and hired an electrician to get everything work.

Well, as of now, we decided to just get a digital antenna for my son’s room which I found online. I visited The Source and they have a wide selection of digital antennas which my sister in law has been using too. I looked online for digital antennas and this one was so affordable. I can’t wait to get one for my son’s TV. I’m so excited!

New Playground at Harrison

Last month, when one of the days was warm, we decided to visit the park nearby. We found out last year that our nearby park was getting a new playground for the kids to play. I remember they only have this old slide made with stainless metal and one climber equipment.

Now, they have this complete playground equipment with swings. My son loves being on this playground now. We don’t need to go other place now just for him to play in the playground with other kids. We just take a walk for about 10 minutes and we’re there, just about 5 blocks away from where we lived. I am excited about it though because then we can take a walk which is a good exercise too, everyday might be a good idea.

Anyway, I’m so happy that it’s getting sunny now most of the days here in Michigan. We can able to get out of the house any time we wanted too. And mostly to wear shorts any time and tank tops. I’m tired of wearing coats and jeans and even long sleeve shirts.

Well, I know summer time is not that long here in Michigan but hoping we can have the best summer ever this year.

Chick-fil-A Application Online

After being a stay at home mom and wife for almost 5 years, I felt the urge of going back to work someday. Not because I need an income to pay bills, but to meet my needs whenever I need something for myself or to send money to my parents abroad. I wanted to work in order to save money too so I could able to have some money just in case I need cash for shopping with my friends.

Good thing, a chick fil a application is available now at any time online. I could apply as a team member, manager, cashier, and even a shift leader without making too much work on making my resume to submit just to get the job I wanted. I remember when we went to Florida last year, we had a chance to eat at Chick-fil-A I love their chicken soup and chargrilled salad.

Well, working there someday is my dream too. But, of course, I still need to be at home with my kids until they get a little bit older.

Happy Mother's Day

Last two weeks ago, my son came home from school with this beautiful art greeting card that he made at school for Mother’s day. It was the first Mother’s day card that I got from my son since he went to school 
 this year. 


It has a message in it too that says: “My dirty little fingerprints I’ve left on every wall, and on the drawers and tabletops, I’ve really marked them all. But here are some that won’t rub off. I’m giving them to you because I’m thankful to have a mom that’s just like you…Love Joshua.’’ 



That’s so sweet! I know he has never written those words but I knew that’s what he felt. He knew it since one time he got all the markers out of its box and decided to just make a lot of mess with it. Unfortunately, in the wall of his room, on his bed, on his table and chairs, on his organ, and on his closet door, I was so devastated and mad. I ended up cleaning it though with a magic eraser and good thing it came off because it’s a dry-erase marker. I was so happy that it came off. I got mad but there’s nothing I can’t do. He must be exploring and having a blast while doing it. I did it too when I was a kid, so I understand. 

Well, thanks to my baby boy for giving this wonderful card for Mother’s day. I hope everyone has the same one too!

If I have an opportunity to find a house with a huge area for a garden and for planting produce, I would definitely be the happiest person in the world because then I could able to save money on some basic produce that my family loves to eat such onions, beans, tomatoes, and a lot more! I remember way back of where my parents lived (and where I used to live before I got married), we have the opportunity to plant produce such as tomatoes, green onions, beans, limes and even green vegetables.  We also planted fruits such as mangoes, avocadoes, and jackfruit.

Being a Mom...

Our baby girl is 10 months old today! I can’t believe it how days and months went by; she was just a little peanut a few months ago. Now, she has been all over the place! She hasn’t crawling yet, but she was trying to do so. She has been just sitting for a while now. I don’t know when she’s going to be started crawling and eventually stand up and walk. I don’t know when it could be but she was a little late. My son had been developing physically early. He started sitting up by almost 7 months, started standing up by 8 months and eventually walking by the time he’s 9 months old and running at the age of 1. My baby girl is completely different. The two things they were similar with is that they both never turn or roll over when they were on their tummies.


Anyway, I couldn’t believe how my kids are growing up so fast! My eldest was in school already. Then, my youngest has been getting bigger and bigger everyday and she’s exploring a lot of things. I felt that I’m getting older each and every day as well. I know life is too short to live lonely and miserable because of the idea of getting old. I don’t ever do that. I’m happy and my kids are my reason why I love my life. For them, I find life is full of colors!

Not Feeling Well

It’s been two days now since my son has been absent from being at school due to the fact that he has been not feeling well because of chest congestion. He has been waking up in the middle of the night and coughing and sneezing. I don’t know if it’s a mixed of both allergies and congestion, but I felt so sorry for him. I thought it must be an allergy because I noticed he has been having congestion since about 4 months ago. My husband even noticed it. I think we need to bring him to his doctor for check up.

Well, he has been playing yesterday too and eventually hurt himself. He bit his lip and it started bleeding. Now I guess it has been swollen. Though, we put an ice pack on his lip yesterday, but still it was hurting him. I hope it will get better soon. Poor baby boy due to it he has been out of school for two days now. He absolutely missed a lot of things in school today! I hope he will get better soon.

Bows for Instruments

Looking for a bow for your instruments? If so, then you might want to check out bows at very affordable prices online. Most products can be found online now and that’s what I love about shopping online too. If you think about bows as what you can put on gifts, on hair, you’re mistaken. I’m taking about bows that moved across some part of a musical instrument, causing vibration which the instrument emits as sound, they vary on weight and length which can be used for the violin, viola, cello, and double bass. I never was playing any of these instruments so I don’t know what bows meant too.

Until I read about it more online and learn that it is that stick when they play violin, viola, cello, and double bass. This is crazy, but that was called Bow!  Some of these bows were made of horse hair? Can you believe that? That was special or what! I also found some famous brand of quality bows such as premiere which is a top seller.

Now, I wanted to think about playing a violin someday. I wanted to try it, maybe someday.
