Zara's Ninth Month

Oh my, dear Z! It seems mommy has been forgetful lately...yikes!! Belated happy ninth month to you our dear love love!! :)

Updates, updates. So far one tooth has cut through your gums already, right now, 3 more are about to pop! And may I just say that you don't like the feeling very much. Now if only we can share a bit of cake with you to alleviate your misery? 

Mommy met her University colleague (and former professor) and was called back to the fold. Kakayanin na kaya natin? Looks like mommy will be back teaching part-time! Don't worry anak, it is really super part-time..mga at least 3 hours, two days in a week...pwede na right? Much as mommy loves doting on you 24/7, sometimes mommy also needs to take a break (i.e. work) to recharge. How weird ba? Hahahaha :)

You're really growing into a fine beauty every day and add to that you're every inch a baby scientist! Always curious with your new world, always testing out new things. I was kinda worried you did not like the toys we gave you or given to you by family and friends. But surprise, surprise! You're finally taking to Sophie and Teddy Bunny! Yeah, and "teddy mommy"! After all, you do love sleeping on the crook of my arms or sometimes even right under my kili-kili!  We still wake up at night and I'm kinda relishing this stage...as they say, "the days are long yet the years are short."

That's it for now! Mommy needs to take advantage of the time you are happy to be left with daddy while I tend to your first birthday party! :)

Love you very much our little princess! :)
