Nicole's Baptism (July 9, 2006)




These photos were taken before and after the church baptism (no, we didn't take photos at the church unfortunately... but we had friends and the Philippine Daily Inquirer to do so!). Enjoy!

Welcome to the Christian World Nicole!

She's getting big...how much does she weighs now?

Lea Salonga said...

I don't know exactly... but she's pretty heavy! Last we checked, close to 10 pounds, but I have a feeling that it's more than that by now.

Awww, she gets cuter and cuter every day! Any sign of those imploding dimples yet?
Miss Lea, do you recognize this kitty? Maybe you need a close-up of her belly.......eeeeeeeeuuuuuuu ;)

Lea Salonga said...

Oh don't tell me she was the "shaved and sharpied" one!

Tsunami Poster said...

Shyeah......It's. Non. TOXIC !
Tsunami (the cat) was wondering (really, she asked me just this morning) "where is Max?"

tin samson said...

Awww, wow! Congrats on the baptism! :) Yeah, looks like Nicole wasn't magulo at all. Lea, you look really, really good! Parang hindi ka nanganak! =)

Looks like a nice celebration with all your guests, nice cake and cute centerpieces. Nice to see Menchu, too. =)

Max is currently staying with Rob's uncle's family. Two other cats are there so Max never lacks for company. She's doing fine. We miss her though.

Lea Salonga said...

He he... breastfeeding got my weight down really fast. That's the concensus nga, that I don't look like I had a child. E di good!

The cake came from Marta's Cakes, and the centerpieces and decor by my friend Steffi Inocentes.

LOU GARCIA said...

I think.....she's not to happy here.....she's probably saying "mom is it over yet?"

LOU GARCIA said...

LOU GARCIA said...

Lea Salonga said...

Thanks, Ate... please pass on the link to the pics to the rest of the family, I don't have everyone's email address.

Taba na ng mukha, no?!

Lea Salonga said...

The cake was my Marta's Cakes (the owner is Marta Matute). She makes specialty cakes and can copy any design. She does any party, from weddings to birthdays.

Nicole!

Those cheeks! I cannot wait to see you again soon! Happy Christening! Love,
Tita Chari

Lea Salonga said...

Come home soon, 'Day! Don't stay away too long!

As for the cheeks, it must be the caramel macchiato I'm extracting from my breasts. Oh wait no, that's you!

Hello Happy Family!
Thanks for sharing your precious photos. Aren't babies blessings? I can't tell yet who Nicole looks more like...but her face will keep changing for a while and go back and forth between you two and your relatives. Parenthood...it just keeps getting better.
Will you be returning back to Glendale anytime soon? And are you still keeping that mailing address? We'd love for our little ones to meet!
Please keep sending the pictures. Ingat and hope to see you soon!
Happy Baptism!
With Love,
The Hall Family

Children are really a bundle of joy. Congrats. I wish I could have breastfed too, unfortunately i was bombarded with all sorts of medicines. According to my then nurse, they just pumped it all out and threw it away. Take care.

cecile bagatua said...

Hi, ms.Lea, Baby Nicole is soooo cute, when my first baby girl was born, i was very happy and proud too just like you, I am your avid fan since you were singing with a raffles and big ribbon on your dress and your kinda chubby at that time pa, I really Love your songs since then, until now that I already have a child and a busy mom too, I really Love to see you on TV and always purchase a Magazine if you is in the cover. I couldn't expect that i can send you a message thru my multiply account and searching for your Blog which i have read on your Interview at GOODHOUSEKEEPING magazine October Issue, I wish i could see you in person and have a picture together, Thanks and God bless
