First monthsarry of "Gotcha Day"

Cannot believe Maelyne has been with us for a month. Seems like only yesterday when we first held her in our arms. Time really flies. To celebrate, we brought her at Seaworld for the first time, tickets compliment of my dear nephew Sherwin Paul (thank you so much!). We saw the Dolphin Show at 11:00 am and she seemed to have enjoyed watching the dolphins. It was still early for the first Shamu Show at 12:30 pm so we stopped at Mama Stella's to have lunch. Maelyne liked the pasta marinara and some oranges we brought for her. It was time for the Shamu Show so we sitted ourselves towards the upper middle of the stadium. Did not dare sit in the soak zone because we did not want to get wet. I think Maelyne was more interested though with the background music than the whales. I'm sure when she's bigger and understands what's going on, she will enjoy the show more.
She was tired so she napped for an hour before we went to the Sesame Street Bay of Play. We did not do the rides because she is still too small for them so, we just hung out there. She picked a puppet dolphin from the gift shop and then we took off. Our tickets are good for another day so we will go back in the summertime.
We stopped by the El Camino Memorial Park to visit her grandpa (my dad) for the first time. Although she did not have the opportunity to meet him in person, we told Maelyne her grandpa is a good man and he is now resting peacefully in heaven and he loves her.
We had dinner at Auntie Fely's house. She grilled fish and veggies, baked chicken and made pansit malabon. Maelyne enjoyed the noodles, and the "maja blanca" we brought. All the food prepared were delicious! We had some take home, too. Maelyne had a fun time with Jasmine and Auntie Fely and we can see she is now well adjusted with them.
Thank you for all the blessings we received the past few days and especially today.
