Taken from Marriott Waikiki - Thanks again to Lea for the Ocean's view room. Stayed for the labor day weekend when hubby visited before he left for his deployment. It's been only 2 weeks and it seems like he's been gone for a year. It's not as bad though as compared to his previous deployments. I deal with sadness & loneliness better now. More pictures with "weekend with daddy" later on. 
(picture taken from my visit last month)
This is the last pic with my Uncle..it was even funny that we took this picture about 4 times because he didnt' like the angle. I will cherish all the memories. I never told you, but I love you Tito Dante. May your soul rest in peace.
Not to brag about my daughter..I just want to share how proud I am for my Winter everytime she learn something new..
At 1 1/2 yr old she can identify basic colors & shapes and few letters. she can name animals
At 2, she can identify all the letters, she can point & say body parts (in english & tagalog) - ulo, buhok, kilay, pisngi, tenga, ulo, ngipin, leeg, siko etc. She can name animals & sounds they make - including monkey, horse & elephant.
At 2 1/2 - she mastered counting 1-10 (in english, tagalog, spanish) & 1-5 (in japanese). She can identify from zero - ten (even trying to count up to 20)
She can name other shapes like octagon & hexagon. She can identify blue green, & yellow green. She knows her name, my name, daddy's name. grandparents names. her birthdate, place of birth, and the year when she was born - year of the rooster.
At 2 yrs & 9 months - she's trying to write letters (she can make 'W' & shapes (circle, triangle & square). she can make a smiley face, draw a balloon & lollipop.
She lovesssss to read books (before going to bed we read "a" book..but we always end up reading 3-5 books -some short & long stories). She loves to draw, color and paint. Thank God that she got her brains from her Daddy & not from me haha.
Speaking of....We miss Daddy a lot..he finally left for his deployment..it's been 2 months that we've been apart (though he came here to visit us for the Labor day weekend - he was only here for 48 hrs - will make another post with 'a weekend with daddy')..it's been 1 week that he left the States..I still have 11 months & 3 weeks to go...I hope time flies that we get to see Daddy again...
Here's a pic of Winter at the ER last night with her popsicle from the nurse and holding her basin on her other hand..this is after 4 hours of waiting...
Pictures from Avilon Zoo, the zoo was really small (compared to the San Diego Zoo, we had an annual pass - will do a different post about it) but Avilon had some interesting animals.
To end our day..we decided to watch a movie. Opo FTFT (For the first time) haha. Yes, 1st day of showing watch kami. Hmm jologs ba? Wait wag ka sa Greenbelt 3 kami nanood! LOL. The movie was OK. There wasn't a chemistry between KC & Richard. But it was interesting to watch a movie where you can bring whatever food you want. You can choose your seat when you buy your ticket and there were phone charging station! haha. Naloka ako! Sabi sa inyo eh sobrang lost ako sa Manila. There are more pictures and kwentos...(from my 8 day trip to Manila)
