Happy Third Birthday Ora.

I see a little more of me in you with each  passing year and no matter how many birthdays come and go, you'll always be my little girl...

This is what I do.  Feel sad for a day and then prove myself insane the next day. I am the queen of getting on the rollercoaster and then freaking out when it does that jolt uphill. Oh yeah!!!   In summary: I suck at plans but I'm a hell of an improviser.  

That's what life looks like! On occasions...on birthdays. :(

 Malaki lang talaga siya.. pero baby pa rin ang  isip :))) 

And yes, there have been moments, many moments, challenging and frustrating moments. 

Make way for our brainy baby in glasses and for my DIY birthday banner! 

Ora:
The A says "Ah"... The A says "Ah"... 
Every Letter makes a sound the A says "Ah"!!! 

Some highlights of Ora before she gets 3:

* At 2.9 Ora could amazingly recognize her phonics very well in random orders.

* Good at counting too!

* Not to mention her singing. Currently, she sings well Aiza Seguera's "Para    Sayo". A biritera in the making we have :)

* She started putting her own clothes.  She's showing a clear-cut independence. I hope you won't be like Mama (hehe).

* She forgets about giving us a kiss when we arrive home and she would quickly go over the groceries and name each of those inside. 

* She receives a birthday gift from heaven on her birthday afternoon. I asked her what name she can give on that little turtle that came inside our gate. With confidence she said " Pickie ". 

* Her dance moves were great! And she was bold enough to show it to others.

* At 1.5 I remembered she started eating on her own. 

* She could finish 4 bottles of Yakult in a day and asking for more.

* She shares her food to Quad. Amazingly generous gal.

* She's maarte. Takes a bath before going to bed. She puts shampoo alone and washes her body without being helped.

* She spent most of days watching leap frogs and annoying her little Bro.

* She started sleeping with no diapers at 2 and still good  on her pee training.

* She only eats pandesal, scrambled egg with rice, suman at puto, pancit canton , and longganisa (she calls it CBO actually), hotdogs, banana and soup. Picky bebe!

* She likes dressing up. Our little bonding everytime I spend my off at home.

* She always have her early morning walk with her lolo.

* When she's finished drinking her milk ( mostly 8 bottles in 24 hours) she would hand it to you and would say "Tapos na" or sometimes put it on table.

* She has good memory in many ways! 

Ora:
My 3rd chocolate moist cake. 
This has always been my Papa's  present to me very time 
I celebrate my birthday. Looking forward for more birthdays with this cake Papa!

But at the end of the day... She is the "happily ever after"... of every moment, no matter how trying. She is what pushes me to be a better woman. To own my instincts and love myself. To rebel and acquiesce, fight and forgive, to be strong and soft, to accept love with gratitude and pass it on. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ORA!

Heaps of love!
