DD2 @ 7 Months

Our DD2 turned 7 months last week. She is now beginning to sit by herself and learning to push herself to crawl when she's on her tummy. It's amazing how you see the changes they go through every single day. They grow fast like a weed that when you wake up each day you have to savor the moment for it will never come back again.

The picture here was taken when we went to Seattle Children's Museum. I know she did not understand what was going on around her but she was having a good time watching her sisters running around and by just following at Shi. How I wish though that she can also try doing the things by herself but have to wait til she is old enough.

Seattle Children's Museum

We went to Seattle Children's Museum on Veterans Day. It was raining that day and our plan to walk along the Seattle's waterfront did not happen. So, we just spent our time at the museum and our girls did enjoyed it.

This picture was taken inside the museum wherein kids can dress up as a firefighter and pretend to drive the fire truck. It is only one of the activity kids can enjoy. Our DD1 was very ecstatic going from one activity to another. For her the time we spent there wasn't enough that when we told her we are going she don't want to go. She agreed to go home when hubby told her we will come back next time.

First Spring 2010 Outing

(Eating our dessert before heading home)

Yesterday was the official start day of the spring season and we had a nice weather. The highest temperature was at 66 degree. Me and my friends decided to go to the park. It was kind of an impromptu decision. We brought some foodies for the park picnic. One friend brought in fried milkfish and fried dried fish (yeah and it's danggit), another friend brought roasted chicken, I brought in dessert and others rice and drinks. Since there were no more tables available we set up on the ground. We had fun eating with our hands (kinamot) even though we have silver wares. The kids can't wait to go play so we decided to move and look for a closer location to the play area.

At the later part of the afternoon the wind started to pick up and it got nippy. We ended up having our dessert before we hit home. It was a nice day to start the spring season. Hoping for a great weather soon where we no longer need our thick or fleece jackets. I am so tired of bundling up every time we go out. It takes time and effort :-)

Fun at the Park

Last Saturday the weather was really nice. The highest temperature were at 61 degree. I did my errands wearing only light jacket. Our DD even took off her jacket and was only wearing a sleeveless blouse and capri pants. I think kids can tolerate colder temps than adults, in my opinion based on how our DD behaves. That day also was the Barrio Fiesta at St. Martin's University hosted by the Fil-Am students in cooperation with the Fil-Am community here in our area. I was thinking of going but have to finish my errand for the week. My friends who went there just bought me some Filipino food and was really delish.

Later in the afternoon we decided to meet up at the park. Even if it's still winter, that day the park was full. Kids enjoyed playing around. Our DD is scared to ride on the swing but I let her and she was holding on to me like a hawk :-) I told her that it's ok until she let go but still looked scared. Hopefully in the future she'll be brave enough to ride on the swing. Her favorite is the slide. She's not afraid to slide even the longer ones. She also like to climb up ladders and the rope jungle but I did not let her since she's still a tiny one. The bigger kids were just so fast I'm afraid she'll be bumped around. I think the next park visit for her will be when Daddy is here since I got easily tired following her around :-) I don't want my water broke running after her at the park :-)

Play Pretend at the Children's Museum

I mentioned already in my blogs that we went to the Children's Museum in Seattle. I can say that it was one of the best time of our DD playing and do pretend.

The pictures above were taken inside a hobby shop. Kids can pretend inside as a quilt maker and designer. They have a touch screen computer were kids can select different designs for their quilts or assemble a pattern. Our DD enjoyed taking the pieces of the pattern in and out.

We went inside a mini-grocery store as well. The kids here can pretend that they are in the supermarket as a shopper, sales associate, cashier, and others. It is complete with mini carts and the check out counter is really very nice and cute. The store has a dry goods section, produce, meat and dairy, flowers, and other usual stuff we find in our local supermarket. Our DD had fun pushing the cart and taking out boxes and other stuff from the shelf. I saw one kid there that wore an apron and he was putting back the merchandise back to the shelf and also cleaning out the store. I enjoyed watching the kids busy doing their grocery shopping.
