"I know at some point I'll miss home and everybody, this blog will serve as my outlet to keep myself reminded of those fond moments we shared back home and all other things. Welcome to our blog.... Where everything's captured!" ~ayie~
It's doesn't snow here in CA and we're quite thankful for that. We'd love to have some fun and play with snow but not for a prolonged period of time. No snow doesn't mean it's always warm and nice here, it gets freezing cold once the sun retires for the day.
Baby had few jackets but he's almost outgrowing all and those are good for spring and summer use only. I have to prepare him for the chilly winter days so I made a little shopping and got him some cute warm clothes. I took the opportunity to make use of my CC again to keep it active, that way I can improve my credit score and have better chances of getting approved for another major CC. I want to make it a sure shot when I get my free credit score it will be really clean and good so no reason or whatsoever to reject any application.
I ordered everything online so waiting for the delivery was the exciting part. Finally the packaged arrived but only to see the shoes sized 6-12mos are tad bit small for baby. I couldn't even put it on as it's very exact. Also the cute stripped full suit fits just right, I had to return it together with the shoes for size change. I think it's better to have some allowance since babies grow tooooo fast!
I love shopping for baby but I try to be careful with the spending or else I might get too excited seeing all those cute baby clothes and buy it all. That would be trouble! Baby has more than enough clothes and even has new clothes still kept, it would be very impractical.
Last year a very pregnant me and hubs enjoyed watching kids and families trick or treat in the downtown. It was fun and all we could think of was how much we could enjoy this year's Halloween with baby. The excitement was really up that time and seeing all those cute kids walk around with their costumes made us so dreamy for baby's arrival. We also attended a Halloween birthday party for hubs' nephew last year, though we had to pass on the invitation this year to do our own stuff with baby.
...very happy daddy...
...proud mommy...
This year is definitely something to remember. Baby's first Halloween trick or treating with us in Darth Vader costume. I wanted to dress him up like a cute animal or dinosaur but dad wanted his favorite character so it's okay., he's cute in that costume anyway. We're so thankful for a great weather that day after being so worried if we can even go out and enjoy the festivity due to the continuous rains on previous days.
...tank top baby received as treat...
We went trick or treating twice with hubs kid sister on Friday afternoon and Sunday evening with his whole family. But that's not all for little J, he went trick or treating three times. That same Sunday after attending the church mass we headed to the mall for a nice lunch in the foodcourt only to find out there's trick or treat in the mall. We're quite ready for it because I brought along baby's costume and just dressed him up right after our meal. The mall was so packed but baby was so lucky to get a white tank top from a participating boutique as a treat! His Frankie bag's full of goodies like candies, chocolates and stickers. Of course not for him to eat, it's all about experiencing his very first Halloween. I can bet next year will be a lot more fun with baby already walking around. That would really be so cute!

After the long wait for the business registration we finally had it all settled. I had to get in touch with the person who's supposed to do the registration because we haven't heard from her but a little after emailing her and asked for the update she finally gave me a call. She called here at home one morning to ask for other details needed for the registration as she was right there doing it that time. Gladly I gave the details she needed.
Yesterday as I checked the mailbox, we received a small notice from anadvertising agency about our business name registration. We're required to publish the name about 30 days after the registration for a certain period of time. Hubs was so happy after seeing the small notice and relieved that we can proceed with all of our business plans with that registration done.
This year has been a very blessed one for us. A baby, business, hubs still has work despite the shaky economy and many other blessings we have to thank God for. Hopefully my paperworks will be cleared already with the last procedures so we can finalize our visit back home.
I'm really tired today, haven't really been getting much sleep since I have to wake up earlier like 6am this week to prepare breakfast and hubs lunch box. I haven't been taking naps too because I try to make full use of the time baby's napping to fit in some works, cooking and cleaning. Of course once baby wakes up it's another story. We play, play, play and play more plus mommy carries him when he gets tired and fussy already. Can't complain, it's fun even if it's tiring. I love being with my baby all the time too.
I just got reminded of this song so I searched for it. Although the lyrics don't fit exactly what I mean to say but the thought is there. Just so little time and so much to do. I'm actually yawning consecutively while composing this post but not time for mommy ayie to sleep yet. There are things to do right after finishing this post. Sometimes I wish there's auto-pilot for all my other stuffs to do just like the auto-pilot marketing system for online things. And I think I'm done with this post for now, my eyes are starting to shut.
I started babyproofing our home few months ago but baby has gotten bigger and moves more actively now that's why we decided to enclose the whole living room. Instead of getting a plain playard which will make baby feel like a little prisoner, I thought of a way how to barricade him without much limits. You may call it an oversized playard, this makes the whole living room baby's territory.
We're making our small space work for us and our little boy until we get the house that really want in time. Surely baby's getting bigger which makes us feel our apartment getting smaller. He moves all over and play in every corner possible. It's such a joy to watch him play and explore his baby steps. On the contrary I thank our small space for giving us a more personal time together playing and having mommy-baby bonding. Hopefully we can get a bigger space for our little boy soon enough. As much as we want to get settled in we do believe that things shouldn't be rushed without enough preparation. How we wish homes here in our area are priced like the Dallas homes for sale. Homes here are averaging to $500k+ and we're still waiting til prices drop more. Dallas real estate is also good and can't really complain with the Dallas homes for sale but location wise, not our ideal place to settle down. We're really happy where we are now or at least anywhere near this area as much as possible.
