It's All About Xian

These are some of Xian's photos before he turns 3 years old. Sorry baby if mommy became so busy and preoccupied last month. I promise that starting this month, this blog will be more about YOU. Your new milestones especially your quirky thoughts and antics (because you've got tons of them,my gulay! you're talking non-stop nowadays and you're really growing up as a smart one. #oneproudmommatalking. 

 Since you have lots of photos with different stories from the past weeks, I'll photoblog it na lang. ^-^

Malling with the little man is not complete without a carousel ride.

 Xian and his new buddy - Magnum!(I'll make a separate post about it)

Xian with his new apple of the eye - Dora! (that's really her parent's nickname for her)

Xiantukin! kumakain sya snack nung iniwan ko sa sala,pagbalik ko after 5 minutes, ganyan na sya.see the unfinished donut on his hand? haha!

maganda ang gising.good morning sunshine!

Remember the last time when we went to the hospital where I had my check up, the little man kept me sane with his charm all throughout the day to ease my anxiousness. 

 need I say more,favorite pose nya talaga yan.

"Xian: Ang Batang Imbestigador" While peeking at the sonography room, he was shocked when the door suddenly opened with a smiling face of one of the staff and the staff said to him "Bulaga!" Xian immediately run towards us laughing.
Parang kinikiliti lang ang bagets sa saya!

pose ng pagod! by the way,he's just hamming it up for the camera. after I took this picture, he checked my phone for the shot and smiled with what he saw. Klaseng papaulit kung di nya nagustuhan ang shot.haha! According to Allan,manang-mana talaga sa pinagmanahan.

While processing my HMO card.Xian's pamatay na hairstyle with matching folded shirt sleeves. Si Tita Ninang Sol nya ang salarin! :P

These are just some of Xian's photos from the past weeks that I have in my facebook account. haaaay Xian my love,big boy ka na talaga!

Daddy Allan's Birthday = Xian's Happy Day

The husband celebrated his 29^th Birthday last Friday, and according to him the best birthday gift for Him is knowing that I’m in good health after what I’ve gone through. Sweet naman ni birthday boy, kaya ayun di ko na sya ibinili gift.chos lang!

Daddy's Birthday Cake

Gift for the birthday boy na di obvious kung san nabili.

The last time I made blueberry cheesecake, Allan liked it. So I really planned to make another one for his birthday, but since I’m taking extra careful in using my left hand nowadays because of my surgical operation few days ago (left-handed pa naman ako) cancel na muna ang plano, I’ll reserve it sa birthday ni Xian. So I opted to  buy Red Ribbon’s Dedication Cake instead.

That day, since I’m still on leave first thing in the morning nag-Skype kami after he woke up.agad na! Since the time difference is 7 hours, he's already up at 3 AM before he goes to work that day so we still have 3 hours of online kwentuhan. Xian kept on shouting “happy birthday daddy! I love you.” kaya naman di mapigilan ni Allan mangiti ng ear to ear. Feeling ko nga iiyak na eh,haha. As usual kung anu-ano lang topic namin which made me miss the husband more.

After our online family date, since Allan will be preparing to go to work na so we said our temporary goodbye online. We had our lunch at home courtesy of the best chicken inasal in town,syempre pa Mang Inasal.hahaha! Ganyan talaga pag tinamad na magluto. After lunch, Xian and I together with Inay went to Lipa to attend the mass kaso wala namang misa ng 2 pm ano, so we just stayed inside the church for 20 minutes and have our prayers and lit candles for our special intentions. 

for our little family.

Gusto daw nya ng photo op kay Mama Mary.

After that, we went to the mall for Xian’s dose of playtime and spend the next couple of hours there.

As usual, carousel ride first then playtime at Active Fun then after magsawa, we went at Timezone and he tried all the rides. Itinerary na yun ng bagets whenever we’re at the mall. And he really knows how to describe kung ano feel nya sakyan.

“Mommy I like dun sa funny car”

So I accompanied him to one of the car rides there, only to find out na hindi daw yun. Then he pulled me towards another ride across the room with an educational screen that kept on saying “funny car.. funny car..” and then the little man told me “Ayan,this one.funny car!” So yun pala yun. 

The "funny car" he's talking about.

I had an hour time out from this super kulit toddler sa Active Fun,since he’s busy playing with other kids and I don’t have to worry since it’s safe inside naman and there are attendants who always monitor the kids. While waiting, I just enjoyed the free wi-fi at the mall.

After nya magsawa, we just bought some new loots for Xian then dropped by to Red Ribbon again to buy spaghetti and empanada before we finally head home. Something that we can share to relatives, since di nga ko nakapagluto.

The yummy spaghetti

I'm looking for the empanada pic in my cam pero di ko na makita yung shot, I think alam ko na kung sino ang culprit na batang makulit!

It was a simple celebration of the hubby's birthday. He said that we really made his birthday happy and memorable despite the distance. 

Belated Happy Birthday Daddy love, Xian and I loves you to infinity and beyond!♥

Before I forgot, Xian already opened your gift. He claimed his right of being  "The Little Allan" and your partner in crime while you're away.hihi.

 

 

Xian: Future Doctor or Teacher?

Here's just some of Xian's memorable antics when Allan is still here.

 Xian The Doctor

One night while we're getting ready for bedtime, Allan suddenly coughed then cleared his throat. 

Xian who's busy watching his fave cd looked at his dad and said like a reprimanding adult:

"daddy,yan uubo ka na, inom ka na gamot" then grabbed the bottle of cough syrup and didn't stop hangga't di nakakainom daddy nya.

After that he touched Allan's forehead with his little hand and said "okay,galing na!" then go back to what he's doing.

We we're startled. 2 years and 11 months ba talaga anak namin or 25 years old na nagpapanggap lang na bata? lol.

Pero nakahinga ako maluwag dun,atleast kampante ako that when Allan and I are old, may mag-aalaga samen dalawa.

Xian The Teacher

During Xian's aral time, we practice his cognitive skills on the wall charts in our room about shapes, colors, numbers etc..  We're really proud parents because Xian already knows his personal details like his full name,age,address,Allan and mine's name, same thing with Inay and tatay, his favorite food, favorite color so on and so forth (just in case somebody ask him about it.mala-slumbook lang.hehe) When it comes to his knowledge, he already knows the different animals and things, 6 basic shape, 6 basic color, basic opposites and knows how to count (minsan shortcut version nga lang!) and some other activities which later on will be tackled when he enter preschool.

On our shape learning session while daddy is listening to us.

Me: Xian what shape is this?

Xian:triangle.

Me: Very good! this one?

Xian: rectangle.

Me: eh eto?

Xian: circle

until he cited all of the remaining shapes correctly. Same thing with the opposite chart and color chart.

When we're finished with his short learning session,he looked at Allan and said "finished na ko aral.o daddy kaw naman! ok,what's this?" pointing to the chart.when Allan answered him, he told his dad "okay,very good!"

Xian really knows how to make us really happy and proud parents.

Love you so much,my little Allan kulit! Hopefully when you're older ganyan ka pa din samen ni daddy ha?

 

Xian's Quotable Quotes!

I came home from work last Saturday and when I enter our room here's what caught my attention.

Xian's deflated animal figure (which looks like the combination of Tasha and Austin of The Backyardigans) Once upon a time he became Xian's favorite uhmmmm....pet.

And before I was able to ask Xian about what happened he emerged at my back and said "look mommy,kawawa no? dead na sya..." 

===================================================================

I bought him a happy meal few night's ago as his pasalubong since the featured toys are the Chipmunks. I bought Alvin first because it's his favorite. Anyway,whenever we ask what's the meaning of A in Alvin's shirt, his quick response "Allen!" (because Xian Allen is his full name) so feeling nya,sya yun.hehe.

While staring at Alvin he innocently said "Mommy bakit wala suot short si Aveeen? like this eto.." (then pointed to what he's wearing) Seriously, I was caught off guard. Malay ko ba naman na pati short mapapansin ni bagets.haha! 

Yaan mo na anak si Winnie The Pooh wala din naman short! :D

Xian's Random Photos

These are just some of Xian's photos two weeks ago that I have here in my computer that didn't make it to this blog because of my topmost reason: I'm too lazy to blog. Owyessss,I promised that I'll catch up with some kwentos about the past weeks,kaso eto na naman po ang sakit kong bumabalik.haha, sorry naman! I don't know, is it because of the weather or probably tamad lang talaga ako. Malamang pareho! Besides I've been too busy with my domestic and work life. Busy-busyhan ang peg ko this week.

Ayway,lemme just photoblog for my post today :)

 Playtime @ The Mall a.k.a Xian's Happy Place 2

playtime is not complete without a carousel ride.

umeffort pa talaga sa pag-pose,hihi!

I want to replace my yellow blue bike with this one,daddy!

Choo-Choo Train, another favorite of the little man.

Mommy and Baby (No More)

My Little Kulit @ Home

 playtime with the 10 year old Koala bear (yep, 1 dekada na sya. One of the stuff toys Allan gave me during our college days.Ayan,naabutan pa ni Xian,hehe!)

Imitating his dad.Mekaniko ang peg that day ni Munting Allan :)

when one is not enough--his fave Dutch Mill. His frequent bilin everytime I go to the grocery, "mommy strawberry lang.yoko ng orange.di masarap!"

 his first ever taste of lollipop!

So there, if you noticed I'm just using my mobile phone for the photos because my trusted digicam of two years broke down. Sniff! I think nagpaparamdam na sya talaga for a new one. Although the husband promised that he'll replace it soon! :-)

 

Xian @ Happy Place 1

I guess for my Xian, spending some quality time is not complete without his playtime at two of his happy place. As much as I wanted to just stay in the house muna  to savor the moment of my work-less days since I don't want us to be caught in the middle of the holiday rush, I don't have the heart to say "no" to the little man's request plus he already showed me his cutest smile with matching "please mommy..please,please?" and the moment I said "okay" eh mabilis pa sa kidlat ang reaction nya na "yes!" 

Now I wonder kung san nagmana ng pagka-artista batang 'to.

So despite the traffic, we headed to Jollibee and no, I didn't drive. Azul is park comfortably in our garage.commute kami,hehe!

As usual, typical scenario, the moment we enter Jollibee store he went straight to the play area and the rest is history!

 

 Obviously, this is his version of "me time" and this little thing is happiness for him to the highest level already.

ayan nga't may pa-cute cute pa :)

Before heading home, we had a quick snack at Greenwich and that explains the green chair Xian is sooo comfortably sitted while playing his toys. At home na at home ang bagets, ano? After making our stomach happy, we had a 20 minutes travel time wala pa dun ang pagtigil ng driver sa gasolinahan or pamimick up ng pasahero at ang pansumandaling paghinto dahil sa traffic,so all in all we reached our home less than an hour,just for the little man's request.

So there, a peek of our typical day last Christmas break! :)

Ang Hamper, Bow!

Xian found another use for his Disney Cars pop-up hamper...

An instant hideout!

Good thing hindi sya claustrophobic like me.hihi.

This is supposedly a toy storage which is perfect for his space in our room but the moment he saw it,he didn't like to put his toys anymore, instead he placed himself inside. So kamusta naman yun. Lakas maka-trip netong anak ko talaga!

Anyway,what's nice about this item is it pops open in seconds and collapses down for quick storage under our bed.

The original price is P599.75 and since SM was on sale the last time I went there, I got the item for half the price! :)
