Bonchie turns 2!

My little baby boy is now official a toddler. A smart, sweet and overly affectionate little being. Oh how time flies. I still remember every detail of my birthing story like it was yesterday (which reminds me to blog about it sometime soon).

And now he's 2. The big, terrible TWO that every young/new parent is dreading. His 2nd birthday luckily falls on a Sunday so we've got the whole weekend planned.

10-3-15: SUBIC TRIP

off to Subic



We took the whole family out for an out of town road trip, Yes, Von's and mine. Big party all for our precious little boss. Everyone was happy to go out of their way and spend some quality time with the birthday boy. A couple of hours travel and we were in Subic.


day at the beach

It was a fun day at beach. Swimming, bonding, eating and just hanging out. I was surprised though that Bonchie has started to become afraid of the waves. The last time we were here, he was all brave battling through the waves without hesitations. Today though, he was scared. It took him a while to let go and enjoy the water. We had to bring crackers in the shore to call the fishes - which definitely made his day.

10-4-15 HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!

2yrs old today
And then he was 2. To see my little wailing infant all grown up makes me so happy and sentimental at the same time. The 2 years seem to have just flown by filled with precious memories. Cliche as it may seem, you never really know unconditional love and happiness until you become a parent. And this little dude has definitely made us unconditionally happy and loving for the past 2 years.

We still had a full day ahead. We enjoyed the beach some more in the morning and headed out to go PX good shopping before going home.

At home, we had some food prepared and of course a birthday cake for the little boy. He'd been practicing blowing his candle, and we just had to sing him a birthday song and make him blow.

make a wish

He never forgot the birthday song and the candle since then. I know, because he's been singing his version of happy birthday pu pu with matching blow at the end, days after his birthday. Such a bright boy.

10-5-15 VMANALACS DAY OUT

One last field trip before we wrap up the celebration. We noticed how much Bonchie loved the fishes so we took him to Manila Ocean Park. And boy, was he AMAZED. He loved the dancing jellyfish, was afraid of the sting rays and was in total awe of the fishes in the tunnel.



Our day ended with a delish dinner in our new favorite Japanese place in Makati. It was indeed a tiring weekend but that extra mile you take to make your kid happy always always always pays off.

Happy happy birthday Bonchie! Mommy and Daddy loves you so! You may be growing up and getting older, but to us you will always be that baby that changed our life and made us extra extra extra happy. We love you like the universe.
