happy caity

The Toy Museum of Prague Castle is holding a Barbie exhibit in commemoration of this fashion doll’s 50th year. I am not a big fan of Barbie, nor Caity is. Can you believe she doesn’t own even a single Barbie doll? Hubby frowns at the thought of introducing Caity to Barbie. Haha! But our little girl knows her anyway from the movie Toy Story. We actually went there mostly for the other toys on display.

Welcome to the Toy Museum!

The museum also have vintage toys such as dolls, trains, boats, etc. some of which are part of the family collection of the film-maker and caricaturist Ivan Steiger. It was nice to see toys from decades back made in top quality and craftsmanship, unlike the mass-produced toys we have these days that are mostly made of plastics. (It will be a different post!)


Caity poses with the giant first-edition (1959) Barbie.

Let Caity take you on a Barbie tour. Okay?  Take a seat, grab an apple and beware of excessive pictures and fashion overdose!

Retro vibe!!!  Even the hairstyles! Super bongga!

Did you know that Barbie has a younger sister? If not, then now you know! Meet Skipper!


Some more of that retro look!

Festive, ostentatious clothes!

It seems like these are national costumes around the world.

Anyway, even if we were not Barbie fans, we still enjoyed the vast exhibit of various Barbies throughout the years. Coz you know, there were different themes and collections. It was  such a delight to spot famous characters like Snow White, West Life, superheroes, political figures among a sea full of Barbies.

There are more pictures to post, so I’ll make part 2, and maybe even part 3 of 50 years of Barbie!

Can you tell which was the brown in this post?  Caity’s leopard print leggings of course!

Hullo! I’m dropping by for a quick post before my little boy wakes up!

Caity saw her picture in my blog’s post which triggered her to ask me to get the dogs from the bedroom. When I came back, I asked her to pose for me. She surprisingly obliged knowing she just woke up from a nap, I was expecting a big NO for a reply, but I guess it was my lucky day! (:

Pics, pics, pics!!!

The dark brown dog is her little bro’s but she borrows it a lot coz she just love dogs!

She then huddled beside me to look at the pictures in the camera.  “Let me see, Mama, let me see!”.

We were both satisfied with the outcome so I asked told her to pose some more. I was unfortunate this time coz she complained already and was grumpy hahaha… caught it on cam!

“Enough Mama! Enough!”

Earlier on her afternoon nap, she took the stuffed dog and said, “Doggie’s cold,” and hugged him to sleep.  So cute!

Sweet dreams Caity. Sweet dreams doggie.

What makes happy Caity serious?  Can you guess?

She looks behaved, yeah? Nah! Caity actually loves to walk around inside the church. It’s difficult to keep her still especially that she has discovered how wonderful it is to be able to WALK!

It’s 8 degrees Celcius outside but why is Caity dressed in a swimsuit?
I think she wants to go with auntie to Boracay this December for more of that sun, sand and fun with her cousins… =)

Happy Caity supports the “Child Welfare EC Contest“. By spreading this word around the blogosphere, let’s hope it will increase awareness on the sad plight of Filipino children and hopefully the politicians may do something GOOD for the benefit the Filipino children.  

Read below for the full text about the cause and the contest mechanics/prizes:

More than a decade ago, the government adopted a Philippine Plan of Action for Children in order to realize a child-sensitive society. Congress recognized children as a basic sector distinct from youth and students.

There are numerous laws and programs that promote the welfare of children. But children remain the most vulnerable sector in Philippine society. They are the most affected during natural and man-made calamities. About 43.3 percent of the country’s population are children.

More than 4 million families are subsisting below the poverty line. Almost 10 million children are undernourished. Most children are suffering from micronutrient malnutrition. Only 33 percent of children are enrolled in daycare and preschool institutions in the country. More than 1 million children of elementary school age are not enrolled.

This is the reason why a couple of Filipino bloggers are encouraging politicians to promote child-friendly governance in all areas.

Spreading the word about the true state of Filipino children in the blogosphere is one way of raising awareness and solicit support. By holding a contest such as this one, will also make it more rewarding for bloggers to join the movement. The contest officially start today (25 September 2008) and will run for a month.

She’s lovin’ it! Caity would take my hand and lead me to the kitchen then point to the fruit basket where the peaches are placed. My little pacbaby!

Yes? You want some?

=) =) This is all mine!! Oh yeah, I like this yellow and crunchy sweet round thing…

But hey! You’re still looking??

Caity seems to be fascinated with climbing up to elevated surfaces lately. And it makes me one busy and alert mom the past few days! But instead telling her “No, don’t climb.” I just keep a watchful eye at her and stay close beside her just in case.

These were yesterday’s pictures. I thought that she stepped on the big teddy which was sitting beside the sofa chair in climbing up, so M took it away. But I was wrong, she reached the chair without it.

The climbing action doesn’t end there, she tried somewhere else with success – the footboard desk!

Today, it was the plastic box…

and she even gave me a mischievous smile!

Then she was back for more action!

And was getting more adventurous!

Whew! Tough days are coming!

By the way, on Sunday Caity walked her first few steps.  She was holding on to me and I slowly let go of her hand and she walked two steps towards me.  I did it again, and she took three hurried steps towards me.  Yipeee! Okay moms out there, don’t give me a smug smile and tell me that your child was able to walk before he or she turned one. Children will all learn how to walk at some point in their lives.
