Sean is definitely growing fast. He started walking last January 14 and after that it was walking all day for him around the house. When I put his baby progam on dvd, he is so concentrated. He sits there for like 30 mins!
Sean intently watching his English Time program
He is now capable of mimicking what I do. I was folding the laundry while he was crawling around a couple of month ago. When he looked at me, I hid my face behind a pillowcase and played peek a boo with him. He loves this game. He then came closer an picked his father’s shirt and hid his face behind it. That’s so cute!!
And then the other day, I was trying to make him laugh so I twirled and twirledd. He likes that and makes him giggle. Later in the afternoon, while he was walking around the living room he started to twirl too!! He is quite a cute monkey if you ask me. Although it’s cute when he tries to copy me, I should start being conscious of what I do because he will copy everything he sees now.
Sean’s 1st birthday party was a success! And like I said I still cannot get over it…one month later!
Being the obsessive party planner that I am..I have already started organizing this when Sean just turned 6 months. Well I asked hubby first if we can go and celebrate it in Manila so that friends and family can meet Sean. When I got the go ahead I started planning like crazy. I first thought of Peter Pan birthday theme but I couldn’t find a nice costume so I decided to go with Toy Story theme because it’s more flexible in terms of the costume.
The party was held at The Legend Villas Hotel in Manila . I chose this venue because we wanted a very accessible area since we have lots of errands to do after the party. To be honest, I think I paid too much for what I got but I’ll tell you about it in detail in another post.
It was fun fun fun!! We had about 70 close family and friends (including the kids) on the party. It was so nice to see them so excited and happy to finally meet Sean.
Sean was not in the best mood in the beginning actually because he just woke up and it was a bit overwhelming for him to see so many people in one room plus the music was really loud so I asked the sounds people to put it a bit lower. He warmed up a little later and started smiling.
Anyhow, he wore this cute Woody costume his godmother Ana from Germany sent him. He looked adorable in it
Specia thanks to Mye of for designing the lay out for the photobooth.
I can’t thank our friends and family enough for celebrating with us and being such beautiful parts of our life, especially Sean’s. He’s a lucky boy!
Venue – Legend Villas
Birthday Cake – Project Happiness Bake House
Cupcakes – Project Happiness Bake House
Magician- this was also included in the kiddie package of Legend Villas
Host – Ayie – Her services was also included in the package I bought. She didn’t just host the party, she also did a balloon show for the kids.
Food/Party Area – The party was held at the Banahaw Hall in Legend Villas.
Prizes Divisoria Mall–10 major prizes was included in the package so I ask my brother to buy some more. I knew that there would be cool items to be found in Divisoria, it’s just a pity I had to delegate it to my brother as I would have enjoyed shopping for the prizes myself
I just needed to tell you this! This is so exciting!! I was sitting on the office chair and he was just a feet away or so and he suddenly walked towards me!!! I couldn’t believe it.
OMG!!
It is so amazing!! I know I should brace myself because I would have to start running after him real soon.
Now that Sean has just turned 1, I feel a helpless plethora of thoughts and emotions come over me. I still feel euphoric after the success of his first birthday party. I’ll tell you more about it in my next posts
My head is still in the clouds as I keep replaying the events of the day. To say that I was happy that day is an understatement. For lack of a better word to describe how I felt, let’s just say that I would never trade that day for anything else in this world. I was absolutely ecstatic to see friends and family share that special moment with me.
And then I got to thinking about the future. Just like any mother who dreams of great things for her children, I wish for my son to grow up handsome (ok, that’s already a given!), and with a kind and loving heart.
I will give Sean only the best. Of course, I know he’ll grow up to be smart. and might even enroll him in a Veritas Prep gmat preparation course just to secure his future. It just would give him the extra advantage if his GMAT scores shot straight through the roof.
Right now, as I watch him sleeping soundly, I vow to be the best mom I can possibly be. It’s the least I can do for him for all the joy he has given me.
A year ago I was still waiting for you to decide to come out and now you are out and about!
You are busy making momma run after you all the time. You love playing and laughing. We do a lot of hide and seek and you think I am a magician when I transfer quickly what I have on one hand to another hahaha but you are catching on to me!
The other day while you lying on your crib, you suddenly stood up when you saw this group of pretty korean girls singing on the telly and you were smiling at them!
Oh boy I hope you are not gonna be too much of a chickboy! You are growing too fast and me don’t likey !
You only have 2 teeth up to now but that doesn’t stop you from being my little vampire. Just this morning you tried to bite me, thrice!! I don’t know you were thinking, trying to bite momma’s ankle?? :p
When I caught you doing something he shouldn’t be doing like touching a cord or the lamp, you would quickly run away from it with a mischievous smile. Actually I find it hilarious when you’re being naughty but I know I should not let you see that I find it funny because you would keep on doing it and it will be a big headache for us later on. Oh my goodness…looks like I have to prepare big time running after you little guy…good opportunity for momma to lose weight .
But you are a very friendly baby when you’re in a good mood that is, you get excited when you see people visit us like uncle Frans.
I see these changes as bittersweet but hey it’s a part of life. This last year has been an incredible journey for all of us baby and your Papa and i are looking forward to the years to come. I am sure you have a lot in store for us .
Here’s a little video I made composed of your pictures from your birth up to now.
Happy Birthday baby!! I love you love you to the bones.
