Growing

My children are growing so fast. I am happy but a bit sad coz i will surely miz those baby days when they are so little and so much dependent on me. (*sigh)

My little girl, Izabela is getting wittier and joyful little girl. She exhibits now a world on her own. There are things she doesnt want my help anymore. Not unless, she can't do it by herself. A good sign that she is really involved now with the world around her.

My baby boy Jan, he is now 12 months old this 18th of the month. That in a week or so, he will be one year old, and he will be blowing his first birthday candle. Time flies so fast indeed. I got lost track of time. This morning I just realized he is now a toddler. Exercising some independency too at his age.

He's becoming a "real person", Like, wanting to play on his own at his favorite corner in the house, wanting to grasp every things he sees interesting. He walks as fast as he could to get things he wants. That little boy is becoming a little man now.

Isn't it exciting to see them growing that fast? and yet i know some part of me wanting them not to grow really that fast so I could still be with them and wanting me more often. But we can't force time and its stage of life. Everyone has to come to terms with each phase of life.

Nevertheless, I am joyful for everything happening to my children. I could see that it worth all our effort to brought them up as wonderful and happy individual. I hope in the future they will not be influenced by this crazy world we live in. That makes me sad sometimes thinking about them growing and thinking about how crazy the world is. That is life though, just that we have to and they have to enjoy every phase of what life is offering.

I hope all is still well with all of you. Haven't blogging much lately. There is just so many things to tackle in real life and no much time to blog and brag about it. I hope to be back more often here, and thank you for still sticking on me inspite of my long absence.

Updates!

In case you all wondering where am I for the past months why I am no longer blogging in here, oh well there are just numerous reasons why I'm too lazy to blog and update my site. Living here in Poland was amazingly busy having two little ones with you, organizing things and enjoying every moments with them are just one of the many reasons why blogging take a back seat. Anyhoow, I am still alive and kicking. heeheh! I am hoping, absolutely hoping to update from time to time. Of course, been here for sometime now and these has been my outlet everytime I want to blurt out or let something all out of my system may it be happy, sad or whatever momentum i wanted to put into writing.

First of... my kids grew so fast......look!

My baby Jan is now 9 months old and Izabela is 2 years and 5 months. Next year she will attend kindergarten. yey! What a wonderful milestone for my little girl.

Another thing, life is amazinly busy doing some D.I.Y. thing around the household and in my new found sewing hobby. (wink) isn't it wondeful?

As much now I am honing my skills in sewing and designing. Sewing dresses for my little girl and for the house. How is that?


That's it! Isn't it great? I maybe too invisible nowadays here in the blogging world but hey I am just around.

Have a safe day everyone. Hope your doing your share for the upcoming holidays.

Gratifying reward from Baby Jan

After 6 weeks, I'm so happy with the progress of Baby Jan. With all the no enough sleeping and resting, he rewarded me with a smile with 'ahh' 'coos' everytime I held him in my hands. Indeed , he is showing a very nice progress at this stage.

A baby's genuine smiles is the most gratifying milestones in my career as a mom. Really makes me so happy..so very happy!

and ate iza loves to kiss him.

Happy 1st Birthday!

Supposedly I have to blog about this last tuesday. Due to my present condition, I don't have the stamina to blog around.

Oh well, just that my pretty little Izabela just turn 1 year older last July 22. She had fun eating her first piece of cake.
There is no much things to say except that we're having a great time with family. Birthday party will be opted to celebrate on her birthday mass on August 3.

Nevertheless, here's my birthday blog greeting for you little darling.

Baby Iza @ 4 months

Here's my baby Izabela Wiktoria at 4months old going 5months this month.

....in here playing mat...

With her best smile..

Role of music in baby's brain

"Researchers believe that musical training actually creates new pathways in the brain."

Does Music Make Us Smarter?

After listening to classical music, adults can do certain spatial tasks more quickly, such as putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Why does this happen? The classical music pathways in our brain are similar to the pathways weuse for spatial reasoning. When we listen to classical music, the spatial pathways are "turned on" and ready to be used.This priming makes it easier to work a puzzle quickly. But the effect lasts only a short time. Our improved spatial skills fade about an hour after we stop listening to the music. Why Classical Music? The music most people call "classical"--works by composers such as Bach, Beethoven, or Mozart--is different from music such as rock andcountry. Classical music has a more complex musical structure. Babies as young as 3 months can pick out that structure and even recognizeclassical music selections they have heard before.Researchers think the complexity of classical music is what primes the brain to solve spatial problems more quickly. So listening to classical music may have different effects on the brain than listening to other types of music. This doesn't mean that other types of music aren't good. Listening to any kind of music helps build music-related pathways in the brain. And music can have positive effects on our moods that may make learning easier.

That first smile

It was a lousy day being just at home with baby and waiting for the day to end. I am sleep-deprived and my entire physical body is incredibly tired. When i held my baby in my arms she looked at me straight and smiled at me with that gorgeous all gums-grin. I was so delighted coz it just means that my baby knows me now and nothing else mattered. She could notice now my voice, my face and that of her dad.
At one month, my baby Iza is showing some characters. Really baby is rewarding all my tender loving care with her beaming smile and responding at me with her 'ohhss' 'ahhss' everytime I talked to her. Even if I had the worst night, the smile of my baby really makes my heart melts.
That first smile is such a great milestone at her young mind & age and that makes me to love and care for her more.

By the way, today marks the first month of my baby. Remember I gave birth to her last July 22, 2007.

Welcome to the world IZABELA!

Yes! I gave birth to a healthy baby girl named IZABELA WIKTORIA SKRZYDELSKI at around 3:35pm (polish time) last July 22, 2007.

It was not an easy birthing though but its worth the pain when I saw my baby. She is my life, my world and my inspiration.

Cool Slideshows!

Mornings & life!

11:23 a.m. is the time we woke up today. So late...almost noon time. It's Saturday anyway. Besides we retire in bed too late last night. We always start the day right with a morning prayer. I smile with G, when I saw his eyes spark upon knowing the time we woke up was too late. After, we freshen up ourselves and took our first meal of the day...late breakfast and early lunch....brunch! I opened the front door of the house and smell the fresh nice saturday weather. Mr. Sunshine is here again plus the chirping of the birds makes the day more beautiful & bright. It was indeed a beautiful day and hoping it will be a sun shiny day the whole weekend. Morning mist really makes me energetic and makes me think that life is really renewed each day.

2 days to go, baby will be here. A new phase of life for me and a new life unfolds in my very own hands. It would be a great responsibility but a responsibility I would like to have for long...to be a mother. How was it to nurture a little one? many said it is a hard task..but all along it was worth it...really fulfilling!

This weeks, marks the end of my pregnancy...soon I will give birth to our first child, our little angel..our bundles of joy! I could feel the excitement from within.

Yesterday, I wrote a letter to G. Thanking him about everything he did for me..all throughout my pregnancy. In return, I received a huge hug and many kisses. I could see the teary blue eyes of G while reading my letter. All what was written is what my heart really wants to say. We will be performing our responsibility as mom and dad soon..and we are wishing each other the best of everything. We are not crossing our fingers how our life will lead us but we keep it all together in our prayers that the life ahead as parents will be much easier for us to face. We know we are capable to be like one..God will not made us parents if we can't do it.

To our baby angel who's still inside my womb while I am writing this....We are so proud to be your parents and we welcome you with open hearts and arms. We can't wait to see you and witness all your first in these world. We love you and you are our world now. See you anytime now. Kocham cie moje dziecko! (I love you my child)

Life is indeed wonderful!

3 DaYs to go!

3 days to go or that anytime baby will come out and I will be a certified mom.
I gave up my professional job in favor of married life..but there could be no greater job in these world than being a MOTHER.

On baby's hands...

"All day long I think of you, I can't even think of things to do. Wishing all of my day dreams come true, now baby what am I to do?"


Few more days to go I will be holding your little hands and I will really hold you like this.....

Yesterday's family date & some baby stuff

Yesterday after G came home from work, we went to his Aunt's house to meet his cousin who now lives in Germany. They never had the chance to see each other for quite a long time and so as with me......my very first time to meet them. On our way there, G remind me that it would going to be a pure polish conversation, that I have to understand if he can't interpret all conversations to me in english. And I said, It's OK since I can understand a little now...at least! But I still can't converse in pure straight polish words. I really need to take my time and probably review my Polish language course again...hmmmm! G, is telling me ahead while walking on the way to his Aunt's house so I will not be out of place in the conversation and maybe so I may not get bored. Anyways, when we were there, oh it was a warm conversation actually over a cup of coffee & tea. After a long years of not seeing each other, who would not talk a lot about things and life. They were reminiscin the good old funny times and of course asking me about my coming here & telling them about my place...Philippines. What was also in the topic is of course our coming baby. They were excited too..I could see that...'cuz there would be another member of the family. And so, they gave us one box as gift for our baby. It was a box full of baby's stuff...different baby clothes, breastfeeding bottle & some other baby accessories. G & I simply love it and we're happy not only because we could save a little in buying baby's stuff but it was indeed a blessing.

Before midnight strikes, we bid our goodbyes & goodnights. It was a wonderful evening...We don't know when will we meet them again...for sure we will keep in touch.

And these are the baby gifts we got yesterday......

9 more days to go as of today & we will be up close & personal with our baby...yepey! Here's a preview of our baby's crib (wink). I guess we are ready now for our baby's coming...and my hospital bag is now ready too..contains stuff I will be using in the hospital as well for my baby. So am I ready or not? What do you think? :-)

'Joy being with babies'

I can't get over with this baby pics sent by my Filipina friend Cecille here in Poland. Maybe because she knows how excited I am for my baby and I love being around with children. One of my greatest dream before is to work as a pre-school teacher so I can have a real touch of children and pursue my profession specializing with children. I was not able to get a specialization till now..but one thing that I surely realized is the fact that I will get a real touch of my own baby. Looking at this baby pics, somewhat lifts me in high spirits... Knowing I will have a real one soon. Can't wait for that... The smiles of these babies really brought joy in my heart. I can't get enough of there laughter...there giggles. I want to pinch there cheek and hug them so tight...yikes! For sure I will gonna do that to my baby. They are really so cute..so cute!..right?
