Everytime I am with Rina and Tats, Gabby is always our constant companion.  He is so adorable!  He is a very well behaved little boy and always smiles for my camera.  What is more amazing is Gabby’s Mom, Tats!  She is a full time Mom to Gabby both in London where they live and in Manila when they come to visit.  She is a pro and she is so natural in handling her son in public places….I just watch her the whole time….and aside from that she even manages to continue chatting with us. AMAZING!

“My baby does not have the luxury of a full-time yaya. We live in London, where nannies make more than most Filipinos in multinationals.

Hence, my baby is my constant companion. We spend every moment together, and my pushchair is my main form of transport.”

Tats showed me her baby stuff and was updating me as I have not bought any baby stuff for 9 years.

She was telling us how she found Skip Hop bags in Rustan’s at much lower prices than in London so she bought a lot! 🙂

Apparently, Tats writes for the Inquirer once in awhile and shares her motherhood experiences.  So for new mothers out there or soon to be mothers, you might want to watch out for her column.  This is her latest article:

At the end of our afternoon, Gabby managed to change his shirt as Mommy was prepared for a slight accident 🙂 and he still manages to smile

and then falls quietly asleep on Mommy’s shoulder

    Hi Tats,

    I enjoyed reading your article especially your experiences @ the airports. I relived the problem we had (the 4 of us) when we travelled to Europe. It was a long haul indeed and the 2 girls loathed it.

    We’re travelling again this time to Florida and the Carribean via a cruise in Jan-Fe b2010.

    You have lovely photos of your bub (very nice looking boy like his dad??? cough @@@ cough @@ .

    Hope you enjoy your stay in Manila.

    Cheers

    Romy
