Alexandra van Roozendaal

I always think of something to put up in a blogger. I'm a little "talk-talk" type of person. I even love talking to myself sometimes. Lol! But sometimes I can't really put it up on a paper. I mean, perhaps I'm only good on talking and not so much in writing. Still, I want this blogger to have more posts. So, I'm thinking of reminiscing the past and share the growing life of my only baby, Alexandra.

This picture was taken May, 2007. The month when Alex was started growing on my belly-belly (as she calls it).

And it follows by the first sign;

and her very first pictures inside my tummy. During my ultrasound at Cebu Doctor's Women's Center - Cebu City, Philippines.

And after 9 months of carrying her inside me, she finally popped out! It was February 22, 2008 where I didn't even believe myself that I was that strong to have had her out of me! I mean, yeah the doctors were a big help but I was still proud that it was really my strength. 

She was as beautiful as I dreamed about. I guess, she looked more like her Dad! :(

Believe it or not, I never heard her crying since she was born. When she first came out (in the hospital), the doctor tried to put her upside down and let her cry but she never did. She was only like a little urgg and that was it. Even when we took her home the day after, I can't remember she gave me sleepless night. I was on a breastfeeding basis until she turned 2 years old. I was on pure breastfeeding until she turned 6 months. I mean, only my milk and no other food and water until 6 months. And after that, she had cereals and a few with my milk. She only woke up in the middle of the night and touched me, and then that was when I putted my nipples on her mouth and fed her, but then my eyes were still closed and so were hers. I am proud of that because mostly babies are really the crying type. And I am truly blessed that I can sleep eight hours straight or even more. Even on her vaccinations, we never heard her cry. Her pediatrician even called her "Alex the Bravest". Lol! Until now, she is still not the crying type of kid. Very sweet, kind and respectful. I guess it's very important! 

She was and is truly a blessing to us...

And the pictures follow from her one month of existence until now...

And her FIFTH YEAR;

It was never easy raising a child but never too hard either. Other Moms even did it with more than one kid, why can't I? So, perhaps I'm thinking it is really with the person. Because it needs someone special to raise a good child.

 The joy she gives me everyday is more than enough. I mean, she never fails to make me smile and happy every single day of my life since she was born!
