Oh its been a week since the last time I updated. There are just so many things I would like to share about our lil girl.. She's just so adorable and we are enjoying her more now that she could interact with us already. You know, she could response back with that gummy grinny smile
So much things to share but let me show you first some clips that I took when she was 3 months and 1 week.
Jan 10 to Jan 15 clips
Basically, our baby is growing .
She could raise her neck longer than before...
She can wave both her hands and feet...
She could make noises...
She tries to reach for something...
Its overwhelming when you see your child doing some new things... It's been a wonderful 3 months and 3 weeks with our baby now. Her smile is always been a good thing to start a wonderful day .
My loves... Honey & Baby ANzu. Sorry about my honey wearing mask. He's not feeling well, and afraid he might carry a virus to our lil girl. You know, it's winter here in Japan, so we have to be careful. A virus could be flying anywhere because it's cold. Well anyway, let's talk about Anzu being 3 months and a week.
Just when she was about going to 3 months, she could raise her feet like this..
She really enjoys waving her hands while pumping feet during active hours Her kicks are getting stronger. Her hands are trying to reach for something, but she still can't. ALthough she can now hold her toy for secs. SHe loves it when I put her toy near her and tries to reach for it... and when she's holding something, she puts it right away to her mouth She also loves sucking her fingers.
Baby we love so much. You never failed to make us smile whenever we see or even just think about you.
Azumi has just turned 100 days yesterday, January 16. In Japan, a baby celebrates a ceremony called Okuizume which literally means first meal of one's life. It is from the old belief that when a baby has been given a food during her 100th day, 110th day, or 120th day after birth, will not be having a shortage of food all throughout his/her life. A tradition that symbolizes the first formal meal of the baby. Of course, a baby cannot actually eat a meal yet, but let her pretend eating the first time, wishing her not to suffer from lack of food throughout her life.
Usually, the meal is prepared consists of a Miso soup, a whole fish, red bean rice, and a smooth white rock symbolizing healthy teeth. Parents or whoever, put the foods to the baby's mouth and moisten her lips with the soup.
Unfortunately, we did something different. Anzu's grannies were supposed to come over to our house and do the ritual, but her grandmom wasn't feeling because of colds, so we just did it the 3 of us. We can formally do it naman on her 110th or 120th.
OH MY... it's been 3 months already,?... my baby is growing. She already weighs about 6 kilos =( Im happy but lil sad... I'll surely gonna miss her baby days. Before we know it, she's going to school already huhuh.. lol
Well of course I'm happy. I've seen her grow up this whole 3 months. We're together 24/7 (although sometimes I go out for shopping ). I see the changes that sometimes amaze us. I'm the one who see almost All her "first"...
It's easier to take care of her now than the previous months. That's because we're already adjusted as parents perhaps. She can able lift up her neck even for short time which is why Im no longer having difficulties on burping her.. SHe burps like a man hehe, so loud. She can even raise up her head while lying on her stomach. She's so kawaii
She sleeps longer than when she was 2 months =) Straight 7-8 hours. ALthough sometimes wakes up for a lil feeding, I give her 50ml milk or breastfeed,then falls back to sleep right away.
And when she wakes up, you'll surely see her gummy grinny biggy smile =) That's why my camera is always besides me. I just love capturing her first smile in the morning. She gives positive energy to our house especially to her Dad. A very good thing to start a day. She's really our bundle of Joy
She smiles alot especially when you eye contact with her, or just simply talk while looking at her.. Just lately, she can LOL, as in laugh outloud. Sign of being a cheerful baby. I think this month our house will be filled with laughters. She's beginning to respond with a loud voice like "oku---"---"yaaaaaaaaaaa"- then laugh. Seeing her like that takes our breath away. I tend to forget all my problems...
Another, she bagan to suck her fingers occassionally.
Im so happy although sometimes I feel so sad because my loveones in the Philippines especially my Dad who really wanted to see his first grand child, cannot see her progressions =( That's why all I do is capturing her every time. As you can see, I do movies, I take a looots of pictures... looks like an obsession, but it's just my only medium to show her to our loveones around the world especially in the Philippines.
She loves being shot by a camera. I just say "smile babyyyyyyyyy" then gives a big smile.
She's really my baby, the little Bambita. (coz there's already Bambie Jr..
Our baby has colds and cough since yesterday. I'm so worried and I pity her everytime she coughs. BUt Anzu is strong, she still can smile and laugh, as if she's ok =) The only thing she hates is whenever I vacuum her nose. Im glad there's a such thing as Nose Vacuum here, really helps her breath normally.
Awhile ago, we went to a Pedia Clinic. It was her first time and I'm glad she was cooperative. She didn't cry that's why her nurse likes her, she's kawaiidawButi na lang pina-check namin agad, if not baka tuluyan sya lagnatin.
I'll be more careful now, especially during winter. We went outkasilast New Year, nilamigan sya siguro.
Ganun pala feeling being a MOm,konting sakit lang, di namapakali.. I tend to forget she's sick whenever she smiles, pero back to being worried namanwhen she coughs.
It's always better to bring your baby to a Pedia right away before something becomes worse.
I have so much things to share about our growing Azumi but it will just take to much time for me to type. This year, I'll try to update every 3 days or week, even just share some clips or photos.
Before, I couldn't imagine my life with a kid, until we have Her. I had so much dreams for myself. And now I can’t imagine my life without Her. My dreams are not only for myself, but for my family as well. My honey felt the same way...
Oh well, I compiled all the clips I took during her 10 to 11 weeks and made a music video blog. I just can't get enough of her. Her Daddy envies me coz he doesn't know how to edit a video hihi...
By the way, I found a new interest which I think will take more of my idle time aside from surfing, uploading pics, downloading music, editing videos. updating profile and blogs, etc... DIGITAL SCRAPPING. Im still learning and researching about it though but Im excited to do my first digi scrap of her. ( am i obsess already? ...)
How was your christmas with your kids or loveones? Ours was simple, intimate and special... It was our baby's first Christmas...
We were thinking whether we'll going to have a christmas party with some loveones (Mom, brother, cuzin and her family...) or just have it celebrate outside with illuminations around, just the three of us... Since we already had a pre-christmas Sukiyaki lunch with our loveones here last Dec 23, we decided to celebrate Christmas Eve outside, at the Tama Center.
Hopefully, we could celebrate our Christmas in the Philippines next year, with our huge number of family, relatives, and friends...
