Osaka
Sometime in March, we were able to visit Osaka for the first time.
Gavin, my sisters and I arrived earlier. It was only us on the plane and only us at Universal.
Until now, I cannot remember how I survived. Haha! It was raining and it was so cold when we went to Universal. I left the rain stroller cover in Manila so I had to convert a raincoat to a quasi rain over to no avail. I guess the little boy was cold and uncomfortable as the stroller was wet. He was crying 80% of the time when we were in Hogwarts. He didn't want to ride the stroller and wanted to be carried. I thought I was going to pass out, seriously!
Gavin was so excited when we arrived at Sesame Street. Thank God it was indoors!!!
My companions, by then, were exhausted so they rested at the cafe while I was left to run around bulilit. He almost fell on a flight of stairs ... My gosh talaga! I shouted and thank goodness he suddenly stopped his fast running feet. Nevertheless, it was all worth it, happy si bulilit :)
The next day, we were lucky enough to catch the limited Thomas The Train express train to Kyoto.
We went to Fushimi Inari. If you have gone there, you know that there are a lot of flights of stairs to reach the top. We had a stroller and of course, we couldn't leave Gavin alone, Haha! So we had to carry the stroller until the top (-_-)
We went to Gion after. I think he was not able to sleep long so he had terrible tantrums thereafter. The grand parentals wanted to carry him because he didn't stop crying in spite of my stern warning. Hence, we had crying fits the whole of traversing through Gion. He bumped his head on a bamboo as well. Saying that it was a stressful day was an understatement. Perhaps when I am 50, I will look back to that day with fondness :D hahahaha! But seriously, I will never forget how we walked for about 2 kilometers with a wailing child. Some people would say how lucky we are to travel with bulilit in tow, but really, it takes a lot of stamina and patience to survive.

On our last day, we just had two goals - eat & shop.
We had the most memorable meal ever at M.
Plus shopping at Shinshaibashi after was loads of fun.
Hope we can visit Osaka again in the future :)
Matchy matchy with Ninang
Kindermusik Graduation Wiggle & Grow
How time flies! We started Kindermusik at 6 months for a short module then joined a summer class. We were absent on both graduations as we were out of town. For Gavin's last module, we made sure that we are present for the certificate day :)
Baby Bubut class :)
Kindermusik Cockadoodlemoo
We love swaying in the blanket!
Still can't believe that we started when he was like a tiny caterpillar and now, ang gulo gulo na!
Even as a baby, the Kindermusik CD soothes him when he is antsy.
When he started to walk, he was so possessive of the toys and was always crying during pack away time. Now, nauuna pa siya with returning the toys back.
We learned how to play with musical instruments!
We learned how to traverse a tunnel!
We went on a parachute :)
We got a stamp every week!
The classes also helped in giving us ideas on what activities can we do together, how we can practice his motor skills and how to differentiate textures and shapes. A parent is required to join the classes with her child every session. It became our weekly bonding time.
Thank you Teacher Marah ng Teacher Pia of being Gavin's first teachers!

Easter Hoppity
Spent Easter morning with a mass with family then sneaked off at the tent for Gavin's Easter egg hunt.
We had a great lunch with my cousin and lola afterwards. Capped off the day celebrating a first birthday party with good friends over good food.
Party Time
Went off social edit the entire Holy Week and survived!
The Detox was great, mission accomplished.
Happy Easter folks! Christ is risen!

Guess How Much I Love You
Took him to a kiddie barber shop, then we ate at Jollibee and we shopped at the mall.
I hope he had as much fun as I did.
Lulubusin ko na, baka sa future iba ng chicks ang idate....(-_-)
On the 14th, we had fun at Kindermusik. Teacher Marah asked everyone to wear red and they gave chocolates to the kids afterwards. Gavin has been improving in class.
He is still magulo, running around at times, but he is now the expert pack away kid.
In the beginning, he would cry when it's pack away the toys time because he does not want to let go of toys and instruments. Now, pati toys ng ibang bata siya na ang nagliligpit, nauuna pang lumapit to give back the materials. Yay for Gavin!
The rest of the evening was spent with family over dinner and get togethers.
Still can't believe it is our second Valentines ever...love love love Gavini!
