After having a good long nap with Grandma Lyn...

...it was reading time!
I let her get her little chubby fingers get a hold of the pop-up book and she totally killed the dragon fly! Lol



LOL. Poor dragon fly. You stood no chance against Zoë!

Still Snotty

Gotta bug the little booger today... well, because, she's full of boogies!

Look at all that snot. Ewwww. Poor thing, I know she hates Nose Frida, but it's the best way to get the most of the snot out. Bulb aspirators just ain't cutting it.

Ginataang Kalabasa

We made some Ginataang Kalabasa today!


Turned out highly scrumptious, if I may say so!

Zoë's Nursery

Jeric's been going to the house to work on Zoë's nursery every now and then.

Here's some of the progress.

Finally Using the Teething Necklace

I finally found the teething necklace from Karen. I decided it was a good time to try it with baby Zoë. We were heading over to Home Depot to look for a ceiling fan for Zoë's nursery. Which may seem kinda odd to you, since you know we live in a 1 bedroom apartment. So let me give you some back story.

Turns out that my dad lost his disability while being in the Philippines for too long. That was the bulk of the income for my parents and most of it was used for the mortgage payment. Well, after going back and forth and seeing what would be the best option for everyone, me and Jeric decided to help out my family by moving out of the apartment and paying for the mortgage for my parent's house. Of course, the main stipulation would be that we "own" the house. Not on paper, but just among us, my parents and me and Jeric. My parents agreed.

So, we have two bedrooms to prep at the house. One will be Zoë's nursery! We have until April, which is when our lease ends.

Anyhow, here we are looking for a ceiling fan for Zoë's nursery. And here is Zoë enjoying her teething necklace! Thank you Auntie Karen!

Easter With the Homies

After Easter at Dewi's, I picked up Jeric and we headed over to spend Easter with the homies.

Spent Easter morning/afternoon at Dewi's so I could see my nephews.
Here's Zoë and cousin Liam with their Grandmas.

Little Zoë trying to grab an egg.

Didn't get a good picture of Lucas, unfortunately. He wasn't in a super great mood.

Here's me and my baby girl.

Finally Made It Out to Travis' Hockey Game

We were finally able to make it out to Travis' hockey game today. It's been quite awhile, but Zoë's well enough and big enough to head out for such an outing.

Here she is with Ninong Marky

With Lola Dinky

Playing with Papa Eric

Here with NingNing Chi

Hanging out on Dada's shoulders

And with Ninong Geoff

Playtime With Dumbo

Zoë's in the corner of our bed playing with Dumbo.

Meanwhile, I have some Easter eggs to stuff with candy!

Of course, Zoë loses interest with Dumbo at some point and totally makes her way to the candy stash!

First Time Trying Pears

Today, Zoë tries pears for the first time.

She looks like she's debating about whether or not she likes it.

She definitely ended up liking it much more than apples!

Zoë's Other Easter Gift

Zoë got another Easter gift from Claudia & Dan!

They got her Fisher Price shapes that you fit through the right shaped holes, a book with sound effects and a cute onesie that says "Forget Glass Slippers This Princess Wears Sneakers".

Mommy's Future Laundry Helper

I think mama's going to have a little helper in the future.

Before laundry fun though, how bout some cute photos of the little monkey.


Now time for the little helper. Check her out, already standing and holding the hamper.

Okay, okay. I know. I'm totally getting ahead of myself thinking she'll help me with laundry, but one can dream, right?

Zoë Loves Herself

This little cutie is so in love with herself.

Here she is checking herself out in the mirror.

It gets better though...

She gives her cute self a smoochies! haha. Love love love!

Easter Gifts from Nina Krystal, Uncle Ray and Presto

Got a wonderful Easter gift bag from Nina Krystal, Uncle Ray and Presto!

Baby girl got an inflatable pool, some bath toys and a cute bath/beach towel.

Another Stroll Around DTD

Some fun family time around Downtown Disney!

Dada and baby Zoë had fun watching the confectioners whip up some cute Disney treats.

While perusing the store, Zoë got attached to baby Ariel.

I don't think she wanted to put her down.

Piggy back time!

And time to watch the duckies!

Reading Time

It's time for some reading again. Zoë really loves her pop-up books!

Visit from Ninang Denise!

Ninang Denise came by to visit Zozo today!

After hanging out at the apartment, we all headed to Raising Canes. This was the first time I tried it too.


Must say, the most juiciest chicken I've ever had! Yummy!
