Dinner time with Louie and Jos

Last July 29, we had dinner at Mann Hann, Trinoma with my bestfriends Jos and Louie. Matteo is always tagged-along everytime I meetup with them. It has been a weekly tradition for us to see each other, to have dinner and some chit-chat so we could catch-up with what's happening to our lives.

This particular dinner I will never forget because it was like a feast! We were only 4 but we ordered for like 7-10 persons hehehehe...we had yang chow friend rice, spicy squid, spicy spareribs, beef with brocolli flower, hacao, fried noodles, green spinach soup and lotus fried tofu. The food were very delicious. I like everything but the lotus tofu was my favorite. Matteo had fried noodles and soup of course which he loves since he's into noodles and soups lately.

Here are some pics:








(Thanks Jos for the pics!:))

After that sumptuous dinner, we went straight to Starbucks to have some frappucino and blueberry cheesecake.

Thanks for that good night guys, sa uulitin! Love you both!

Matteo's new toy

We got him a wooden magnetic building blocks last Friday. Actually, he picked what he wanted. He doesn't want simple peg puzzles, too easy for him I guess. We also got him his 2nd box of smart cube. Yes, he's into educational toys lately and we're happy about that :)

I just took a couple of pictures while he was playing with the building blocks:






The figures in the photos were "penguin" according to him :)

Matteo singing

Here are videos of Matteo singing. He was in the mood that is why I hurriedly took video of him using hubby's mobile phone. These were taken last month.


ABC


"I love you" and baby bop song


Dibo, the gift dragon and animals mechanicals

Matteo loves to sing. He can easily memorize a tune of a particular song. I think, he inherits his love of music and singing voice to us hehehe...

Matteo solving his puzzle :)

I'm one proud mama! At age 2 years and 7 months, Matteo knows how to solve a 9-inch, 15 pc. Winnie the Pooh and friends puzzle. We just bought it the other night and got hooked on it eversince. Before, he only plays them at Playhouse Disney and Barney sites. So, I thought of buying him a real one and see how he can manage. And now, he was asking me to buy him some more with different cartoon characters on it:) "Anak, kaya mo na kaya yung tig-100 pc.? hehehe..."

Here's a video I took just this afternoon. He sings pa while solving it hehehe:

My first 2 page layout

Tried doing this yesterday, a 2-page spread for my son's birthday book. Hope I gave justice to the designers but credits to follow hehehe... I'm having a hard time doing credits because I'm using different kits from different designers! And still have to learn photo editing; need to do a lot of readings

Oh my! This is the reason why I wanted to have my own dslr camera but i don't have moolah right now and still have to think about this all over again. For the meantime, I'll just barrow my brother's Canon :)

Anyways, here's the 2 page lay-out i did:
