There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. - 1 John 4:18

Wedding Invite Part 2

I just create a simple but cute wedding invite but this is just for memories' sake. LOL. I will show it to Jerwin later. Haha. Take a look.

Wedding Invite

I am torn whether to create a wedding invites or not. Jerwin doesn't want to give invites because we are aiming for a simple wedding with selected guests and he said that it would not be necessary to create a wedding invite. But I am itching to make one even just for memories' sake :) I am looking for a cute weeding invite and I was thinking of Precious Moments. I can't look for a nice precious moments picture online.

We agreed to move the weeding date to November 20, if our budget will not be enough for November 6 date. We are expecting funds on the 15th of November also and we will use that to add to the expenses.

Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you. - Job 22:21

Learning parts of the body

I read in GT about teaching a child her body parts. I started doing that today with Amber. The first body part we thought her was her nose. We showed her how to point where her nose is and she immitates us and we ask her where her nose is, then she points at it. Yeay!!

My sister also gave Amber a pink bedroom slippers. The size is big for her but she likes it so much and when we tried it on her, she didn't remove it and started to walk all aroudn the house and even wore it when she and Jerwin walked me to work.

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. 23"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. - Mark 11:22-23

Intelligent!

We had posted an alphabet chart in our bedroom wall a few months back and we posted stickers of cartoon character or figures that she knows well. When you ask her, where is Mickey Mouse, Dora or Jollibee, she will point the picture of that figure. Intelligent kid, huh? As of yesterday, here are the people that Amber knows:

D for Dora the Explorer
J for Jollibee
M for Mickey Mouse

We are still looking for stickers we can put on the chart so it will be easy for Amber to recognize people and things. Also, I made her an ID and paste her picture on it and her name because she always point and get her cousin's ID and wear it. Haha. So I decided to create one for her. I made it out of my casino card which I am not using anyway. Punch a hole and put a red ribbon. I will give it to her tomorrow.

Amber @ One

Another random photos of Amber this month.

Amber's birthday

Finally, here are random photos on Amber's birthday.

Last Shot

We went to the Center yesterday morning for Amber's last MMR shot. We went there around 8am and got home around 10:30am. At first, she was eagerly walking outside the Center but when we went inside after she was weighed, she began crying when she heard a baby cried while her ears were pierced. Then she cried more when she was injected. Poor baby. She was crying so loud and embraced me tight. Of course it was painful for babies like her. Good thing this is the last shot for her.

Also, her weight is  currently at 8.4 kgs. I have to give her heraclene starting today so she'll gain more weight.

Amber Kulit

When Amber started drinking Lactum, she began to be very hyper and active. She always wants to walk around the house, screams when she sees her cousins Yna and Hannah. Cute little girl. She now knows how to smile when you point a camera on her, she also knows how to embrace someone, when you say to her "embrace", when you say "show your teeth", "where's your pacifier?", "where's your slippers?", "where's the moon?". What an adorable child. We played picture taking yesterday while watching Ms. Universe 2011 and the camera caught her smiling cutely! I will post it here tomorrow, I will also be uploading birthday photos.

"On reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation." Luke 22:40

Good Job Amber!

Amber is beginning to walk on her own. Good job! Though sometimes she still out balance herself, she can walk 10 steps or more without someone holding her! Woohoo! She is also doing great with Lactum. We switched her milk from Nido Jr to Lactum but then Jerwin noticed that she became hyper. Haha. Even the pedia said that, but that's ok. The poop is ok, she's gaining weight, and that's a good sign. Next stop: choose a different vitamins for her. We'll do that next week. :*)

Goal #2: 3rd Anniversary

I can't think of anything good to do on September 18. That falls on a Sunday though. Our regular routine is, we attend Sunday service at 4:30 PM, and we're home at around 8:00 PM. I am not sure if dining out after church is good but that is what I am thinking of doing.

Goal #1: Amber's Birthday - Success!

My first goal was successful! Yeay! We celebrated Amber's First birthday in a simple yet very fun way. Though my little girl slept early because she was awake the whole afternoon, everything went well.

We started preparing the food around noon. I cooked Spaghetti and my SIL helped in frying the Fried Chicken, Lumpia and hotdog. My brother brought 3 liters of ice cream, the cake we ordered from Goldilocks was so beautiful, Amber was so happy seeing it. My brother was the one who arrived first at around 3pm and the rest followed. I was raining and some of the family members were not able to make it because of the heavy rain, but things went well still.

I also slept early because I was so tired as I was awake the whole day and I came from work that morning. We were not able to bring Amber to the pool because it was raining but we are still planning to bring her maybe this weekend.

The good thing about inviting family members is that you don't have to entertain all of them because they are your family, and they are comfortable in the house and the crowd. I even slept around 7pm, and I don't have to wake up when one family member leaves the house.

Thank God everything went well. We'll move to goal #2. By the way, we attended Bible Study this morning and I asked our Pastor to pray for Amber's fast recovery. She still has cough and is on antibitoic until Sunday. We also started nebulizing her yesterday. And Jerwin also asked our Pastor what are the papers needed to get a marriage license. I was surprised that he was thinking about it. I guess he's ready? I am not sure.

Jerwin will have basketball tournament this afternoon and I am thinking of coming. Anyway, my sister is at home and she can attend to Amber once in a while.

Next goal: Celebrate our 3rd year together. Haven't thought of any ideas but I'll think of something nice to do that day.

Amber's 1st Birthday

It was a simple and somehow relax birthday celebration for Amber yesterday. We invited our family and relatives and some neighbors. We celebrated it in the afternoon, we sang "happy birthday" to Amber. It was raining yesterday and we were not able to bring Amber to the pool but all in all, she seemed to enjoy the day and she was tired, she slept around 5pm and I was so tired too because I didn't sleep all day to prepare the food.

I'll post the photos tomorrow after I transfer them to my laptop. Thank God! It's done and we can rest now. :) ♥

Sick Amber

Monday and she was diagnosed with bronchitis and she will be on antibiotics for 7 days. Poor Amber, she is on medication on her birthday week. But so far, fever is gone and her breathing is somehow ok now. Pedia said that she have to be ok by Thursday or else, she need attend another check up. Poor baby. Pedia also said that if this bronchitis will occur again next month, she needs to have xray and will have further examinations. I got scared by hearing that. We are praying so hard, every night so she'll feel better soon. And we claim for her fast recovery.
