Headbands!!!!

The moment I knew that we are having a baby girl, I started looking for headbands online. I find those cutie patooties wearing big bows adorable and I want my little one to wear those headbands as well.  Whenever I am in the mall, I never missed the accessories area.  I don't go home without at least 1 piece for her. 

It's some kind of my habit already buying headbands. ☺  Just this morning, my mom reminded me to control myself from buying these things and prepare for Peycie's future.  Yeah right, I got your point mom! But hey, I can't resist buying it for her! Ha ha

Peycie's growing collection ☺

 
Well, last week might be my last purchase.  Since I'm a Stay-At-Home-Mom starting tomorrow (loveeeet!), I'm planning to personally make headbands for her.  Who knows, I might fall in love making headbands and I guess, it won't be bad to make money out of it, right? ☺

Planning our Japan trip

Every year I see to it that I go to place/s that I haven't been to, locally or internationally.  This time, I decided to visit the Land of the Rising Sun. :) Initially, I will be traveling with my officemates but since I'll be away from my husband for 2 years (or more), I asked him if we could travel together or spend Peycie 's first birthday in Japan.  He agreed, however he doesn't want to bring our little girl with us since she can't appreciate it yet.

I haven't booked anything, and so as my ticket to Canada :p I'm still waiting for the Travel Madness this coming July 3-5. ☺  Meanwhile, I am busy preparing for our itinerary.  Mr. C and I want to visit Hokkaido or Kyoto, but still weighing the expenses for the both cities. 

Hokkaido is known for its scenic views and we are targeting the photo below.  Personally, I really want to take pictures with these flowers.  Feels like I'm in Holland!

Hubby and I also want to experience the traditional life of a Japanese.  This is the main reason why we want to visit Kyoto.  Who doesn't want to live at least for a day in Ryokan, try their Onsen and walk along the city seeing Geisha? :)  Hopefully by end of this month we're already decided which city to visit and share with you our experience. ☺





Sweet Potato!

I bet all mothers are very excited to witness their babies eating their first solid food! Prior our little girl's 6th month, I bought her a booster seat to train Peycie the proper way to sit while eating and to have her join in our meal. 

Before sharing how it went, let me tell you why I chose booster seat over high chair.  Reading some reviews, most moms prefer to use booster seat simply because it's space saver and personally, I feel it safer than the high chair.

Peycie's first solid food is sweet potato.  We steamed it, mashed and mixed it with little milk and water and in all fairness to her, she loved it!  We had her tried it for a week, potato on the next and we are now introducing her the banana. :) 



She liked the mashed sweet potato though it doesn't show in her pictures because she just woke up. Hehe ☺

Happy feeding! :)
