report card

it is just amazing how sophie progresses each day. she can now utter so many words and she expresses herself so well that even her pedia could not believe how fast she  learns all that. i am just as surprised, i tell you. eh hindi naman ako super hands on so hindi ko masabi where and how she learned those things.

during our last pedia visit, sophie, in her usual bibo self, wowed us again. her saying hey to strangers is not surprising na because she does it all the time naman. the moment she saw her pedia, she suddenly became quiet as if she knew what was going to happen. sobrang weird that she looked so tamed and behaved eh super likot and daldal nya. right after the usual inhale-exhale thingie, dra. vienne started to undress her. she checked  her tummy, her skin, everything. then she said, sophie is perfectly healthy. so yay!

all the while, sophie was just looking around, little did we know that she was observing dra.'s moves pala. she knew something  was up and she was right. when dra vienne turned around and put her hands behind her back, sophie started saying "No!" then  repeatedly shaking her head. No! No! No! emote galore! i am not exaggerating. as in yung pagkaka-no nya, parang she sounded begging talaga. we tried to distract her. when dra vienne handed her a toy puppy,  sophie stopped for a while and said, "ohhhh, dog."  but she saw what dra vienne was holding so she screamed again, "Noooo!" the funny thing was she then pointed her finger to the toy as if saying you give that vaccine to the puppy and not to me! dra. vienne was in awe.

right after giving sophie the vaccine, dra. told me with how smart sophie is. she said that she has good attention skills, picks up quickly, very very sociable, knows how to follow directions and really expressive. sabi nya, matalino 'tong batang 'to. so diba? i mean, hearing from somebody na hindi mo relative  and an expert at that, makes me really happy and proud.

we love you sweetie! kisses from mama and dada.

wanted perfect pedia

i have been looking for a new pedia for sophie. i really wanted to transfer her to st. lukes global city because we live like, 5 minutes away and it would be very convenient especially during emergencies and all. problem is, i couldn't find any pedia for her. i opted to stick with dr. ds even if i have some issues with him. it was only over the weekend that i decided to seriously look for a new one.

last night, i decided to ask for pedia reco from my fellow nawies. good thing tricia was online at the time and she recommended her kids' pedia, dr. vienne saulog. i did not waste any more time so this morning i decided to give the clinic a call to inquire on the schedule and since  i was on leave from work, i asked the yaya to prepare sophie's stuff so we could go and have her checked.

the minute i stepped in to her clinic, good vibes agad. jen, the secretary was super nice and very accommodating (unlike the other secretary from 6th floor na super difficult to talk with that is why i didnt bother dropping by, went straight to 7th floor) there were a couple of patients pa before our turn so i kinda made chika with jen muna. brief backrounder as to why we are switching pedia and some getting-to-know- sophie questions.

i was very pleased and impressed with the clinic. super neat and pretty and looks mabango. i fell inlove immediately with the place. okay talaga yung bago, wala pa masyado bacteria around. haha. sophie felt at home agad. she liked the place, i can tell. her yaya liked it too. who wouldn't?

when it was our turn to meet up dra. vienne face to face, i felt relaxed and at ease. she is sooo nice. she calls sophie soph and she has this endearing way in dealing with kids. sobrang relax lang. she undressed sophie and checked her reflexes. first time to talaga because sophie didnt get any of these before. i was very very happy and satisfied with the way she explains things i told her hindi ako yung hands on mom who monitors everything and little thing na napapansin kagad. hindi ako maquestion  unless i was asked. so when she started asking me if sophie can walk alone na and how many words can she actually utters, or if she can do this and that --- i knew right away that i made the right decision.

here is the happy bebe (before having her vaccine haha)

mommy is very pleased. yehey, we will be back in 2 months time :) kisses!
