Letter No. 11 - Books


Dear Lance,

My fish with the deep sea smile.. 
My very busy spider.. 
My handsome boy of mine..

Baby reading a book

Do you know that mommy and daddy started reading to you..

Baby reading a book

When you were around 2 months old?

Baby reading a book

Mommy always reads to you when daddy is not around..

Baby reading a book

And daddy always reads to you even when he is exhausted from work..

Because we love watching you enjoy it!


Do you know that you laughed your first laugh while reading the book..

Monkey See Monkey Zoo?

It started when mommy yawned like the Hippopotamus..  
And continued at you leaping like a Tiger :)

Baby reading a book

Do you know that whenever mommy and daddy call you, and you wouldn't come to us because you are busy playing with things you are not supposed to play with..

Baby reading a book

All we have to do is to open a book and start reading? 

Yes.. that is how we make you come crawling back to us! :)

Baby reading a book

And also how we make you open your mouth during feeding time, stay still during diaper change, and do things you don't like..

That is why we have books all over the house!

Baby reading a book

I love you so much my little bookworm!

I hope you will never lose your love for reading as you grow up :)

Snuggles,
Mommy

There is no way! ;)

It wasn't easy to get to and through..

Lencois Maranhenses in October

These beautiful white sand dunes that looked like a desert.

(But not a desert.. because it rains)

Lencois Maranhenses in October

The ride was really bumpy..

Lencois Maranhenses in Spring

The climbs were steep and hard..

It was very hot.. there was no shade at all..

So when my husband and friends were going down to the pools for a swim..

Pregnant me could only watch them from above because I would not be able to climb back up! :)

Sunset at Lencois Maranhenses, Barreirinhas, Brazil

And when they were going up that very, very steep slope..

Sunset at Lencois Maranhenses, Barreirinhas, Brazil

To see the grandeur of the Lencois Maranhenses at sunset..

I could only stay and rest in the hotel!

Sunset at Lencois Maranhenses, Barreirinhas, Brazil Travel

"Hun, what were you thinking while watching the sunset?"

"Nothing, I was just posing for the camera."

"You were not thinking of me?"

"Oh ya, of course, you, too!"

"Yeah right!"  :))

But I really wanted to see the white sand dunes and water pools from above too..

So we took a flight instead..

So that I could also see the spectacle of..

And experience the Lencois Maranhenses..

Letter No. 9 - Get Well Soon


Dear Lance,

Daddy and Mommy were so excited to celebrate our first new year with you.. seeing lights at the malls.. meeting cousins for dinner.. watching fireworks at midnight..

But sadly, none of these happened :(

We wish we could write a better story about your first new year.. but the truth is..
We spent the new year's eve at the emergency room.. and another day at the doctor's clinic..
You fell ill with fever, sore throat, cough and cold the moment we arrived in Manila.. and it has been breaking our hearts to see you try to smile but cry in pain everyday..


Sweetheart, there are a lot of things and places we want you to see.. and friends we want you to meet this weekend..

Jessie Villegas Family Portrait Capturing Smiles Photography

We miss our super active baby.. We miss our slightly chubby baby.. We miss our very happy baby so much..

Please get well soon our love..

Hugs,
Daddy and Mommy
