those are the highlights of my days.. hehehe.. :-) (aside from seeing david come home from work! lol)

i am super excited about shoshy’s teeth finally coming in. the two bottom teeth are coming in at the same time! i am so glad that her teething was not a painful ordeal for her. she is super cool! :-D LOL

aside from crawling (which i need to clean the floors all the time coz she follows me all around the house) and pulling herself up to standing, she’s starting to cruise on her own. i am thinking on how i can get stuff done when she starts walking and running around. :-) just the thought of that makes me so excited! i’ve read though not to wish for that to happen too soon because you’ll never have a break!

i love love love love mommy-hood!!! :-D

I am so sorry i have been away for so long! So much has happened i don’t even know where to start! It’s so much easier if you regularly update your blog :-/ lol Good for those of you who do that ;-) I enjoy reading your blogs :-)

Anywayz, for newzy news..

We’ve been so busy lately looking for houses/properties. I didn’t know this can be such a frustrating and long-drawn endeavor! We are wanting to avail of the first-time home buyers credit ;-) We think now is the perfect time to buy.. and also, we are thinking along the lines of investment properties, like a multi-fam or a single family house with a basement that can be converted to a living space or a carriage home that can be rented out. We are thinking along these lines for another source of recurring income when we leave for the philippines and live there… plus david wants to personally build our “real” home there. Anywayz, we are still in the process of looking.. there are a few good deals out there but still have to weigh everything.. opportunity cost. etc.. etc..

anywayz, hope i’m not boring you with real estate stuff.. lol

Now to our little girl.. Shoshy is now 7 months and crawling like crazy! It is interesting that she started “officially” crawling on her 7th month birthday :-) She is just being a little sweetheart and a smarty-pants.. lol.. and more and more of her personality is coming out. She is a very happy baby.. she would clap her hands all the time and laugh and sing. She is also very strong-willed that it is even funny to watch when she gets angry or upset. She would extend her arms real hard and her face would get all red and she will have this look of defiance… (with her arms raised!) lol .. and that is defintiely NOT acceptable to daddy and mommy LOL but there are times we would just have a hard time keeping a straight face disciplining her when she does that because we think it’s too funny and cute! LOL Our little girl’s got some hidden spunk and fire! We are channeling that though to being a positive thing.. and i would say that little girl’s got some determination. She would pull herself up to standing in her little pack n play crib and would not give up until she was successful.

But we are so pleased with her development and growth. She makes our days so joyful that we cannot be more happier.

I upload pics on facebook so you know where to look. I still have to upload her recent 7 month pictures.. it’s been a busy weekend too for us as david’s family came into town for memorial day weekend.

Before i forget, i wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS to Jeb and Laurie for the arrival of little Amberly Dawn. I’m sure you have seen the pictures and know the stats of all of it.. just go to their website. But I would say she is a very special little sweetheart. She is soo adorable and cute! I am also glad that Laurie is well and labored pretty easily… a 5-minute labor is hard to beat! LOL We cannot wait to see the new little one at the Feast! I am soooo looking forward to it and seeing everyone too! It will be my first real feast here in the US so I am excited :-)

CONGRATULATIONS too to Matt and Sabrina! Their wedding looked so gorgeous! We wish them success on their path together as a newly married couple :-)

And camp in the Philippines just ended. I am so thankful to God that He made it to be a HUGE success. I miss camps there… I know that the bar of standard out there is so much higher than what we have here. Truly a unique experience if anyone of you goes to the Philippines either for camp or a feast.

Anywayz, I guess my blog is not neglected anymore.. hehehe.. i will try to update as often as i can… :-)

oh, before i go, here is a six-month picture of shoshy…

hope you guys are well! talk to you all soon!

love,
~cheryl

Thanks so much to Jebby and Laurie for getting our sites all fixed up! It is so much cooler, faster and I get less spam! yAy!!! LOL

Anywayz, How is our little family doing? I cannot be more happier!!! :-D David is as always, GREAT and Shoshana is growing and developing in leaps and bounds. We feel very blessed. She is turning 6 months this coming April 18th!!!! She is just getting cuter and cuter everyday :-)

I will write more later as Shoshy woke up already. I have more to tell … Hopefully I get the time again :-)

today at 11:36 pm, shoshy is turning 4 months. we can’t help but notice how much shosh is changing daily. she is getting to be so heavy, her teeth are coming in, she just laughs and constantly smiles and sings, she can hold herself up standing like for 30 seconds with us just barely supporting her, she grabs like crazy and she is starting to crawl..

david and i are amazed how fast she is developing and how fast time flies! it’s even funny we don’t even remember now what it was like before we had a baby. we are excited with all the developments she’s been going through lately but at the same time, we will be missing our baby girl :-) :-( (sigh… mixed emotions)

i have not been updating here as much as i find it easier to update in facebook, uploading pics and videos. but i’ll still keep this alive and try to put interesting content in here. (as i am boring you already with baby stuff lol)

we’ve been thinking more and more of going home to the philippines soon. we’ll see how that will materialize..

other than that, everything’s great! hope everyone is well. i have to keep up with all your other posts coz i know it’s been a while…. :-)

laters!
