Summer is definitely over because today I dusted off the leather jacket and checked twice if I brought my umbrella. I don't mourn the end of summer because I've always been a rainy kind of gal, the fatter the raindrops, the louder the thunder, the better. Of course, it's best with a really thick book!
But I can't say I didn't enjoy the sun this year, especially since we have a little boy now. And, oh, how he loved our trip to Shangri-la Mactan!
We went there with Vito's entire Sales family (thanks, Mom and Dad!) and swam and ate and slept to our hearts' content. I won't show the photos of Vito's cousins here since they're all of school age but since Vito is too young to protest, let me show off my handsome boy's pics!

 |
| It's Vito's first plane ticket! |
 |
| Vito's first plane ride was a smooth flight. |
 |
The baby was absolutely delighted with the huge bed!
He kept exploring it. Vince, I guess we need a bigger bed! |
 |
| See how excited he is?! |
 |
| The little guy inspects the big garden. "Green, Mama! What is all that green?!" |
 |
| Vito's first beach encounter! |
 |
| He hated the sand. He's like me! |
 |
Poor darling was so upset whenever his feet touched the sand!
Mama had to comfort him. |
 |
| Good thing the pool was a success! |
Where did you go this summer?
AHH-DO-RA-BLE!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a CUTIE Vito is! Gigil! And lookit how he loves hotel linens and sheets! Me, too--sobra! Kaya our beddings at home are all-white, all-cotton, all fluffy like hotel sheets! Kakaiba ang relaxing effect nila, no?
ReplyDeleteSarap ng Shangri-La Mactan. I wanna go baaaaack. I love their spa, huhuhu.
Neighbor, you make motherhood look so fabulous and glamorous! Hoping to follow in your footsteps, like I did with the whole wedding-marriage thing, hehe! Mwah!
ReplyDeleteVito is so cute! Nakakagigil haha :D
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of Vito and your family! :) Gwapito talaga! And kamukha mo na Frances :)
ReplyDeleteButi pa si Vito nakasakay na sa airplane! Nauudlot lagi for my kids....
Super cute talaga! When will his pictorial from the magazine come out? :)
He's such a cutie!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody for thinking he's a cutie!
ReplyDeleteMartine, ya, I just bought really nice sheets from Living Well (they're on sale!) and Vito loves them! He's like doing the snow angel motion on the bed. Haha!
Mariel, you'll be just the same. You cook and bake pa and so domestic goddess! Unlike me hehe. You'll make a lovely mommy!
Mom-Friday, I was just soooo glad he didn't cry. When I wasn't a mommy, I just hated babies on the plane kasi iyak nang iyak. Was so scared I'd get karma. =( Whew!
Vito is sooooo cute! I'm offering myself to be his extra nanny!
ReplyDeleteUgh! I hate sand too... I'm more of a pool person actually. Shangrila Mactan is a lovely place. It's so cool that Vito enjoyed himself, surely mommy and daddy did too!
ReplyDeleteCutie! And he hated the sand, haha. =P So nice to have a little boy around, you & Vince look so happy now that Vito is here. =)
ReplyDeleteNiceyfemme, there's a loooong list of volunteers =)
ReplyDeleteCrickette, ya, I can't stand sand. I'm better now although the last time I actually had a beach vacay was 2004. So when we went to Mactan, I enjoyed walking on the beach... for 10 minutes then back to the pool!
Dang, awww. Thanks! We are happy =)
Vito looks so happy in all photos but one! :)Woohoo for his first trip! :)
ReplyDeleteHe's like me--doesn't like the sand =) But he loved everything else!
