Baby Zia says "Mama!" and reaches other adorable milestones

2 min read

The adorable baby Zia just turned nine months old on August 23. To mark this milestone, proud mom Marian Rivera shared this super cute clip of Baby Zia uttering her first word.

“Mum mum mum!” she says as she smacks her lips together while dad Dingdong Dantes brings her closer to the camera.

In an earlier post, she wrote, “Happy 9th month anak. Love, Mum.”

Mum Mum Mum ???? Love you Both ❤️ #MariaLetizia

At 2 months, she started smiling at people, mostly familiar faces like her mom and ninong Oliver Amoroso.

Shortly after this cute daddy-daughter moment, she shot her first commercial with mommy Marian. The little star in the making also started taking her first steps at 8 months old.

And most recently, mom Marian enrolled her in music school!

“About music lang naman, mingling sa ibang mga bata… Halimbawa, sounds like a bird, ipapakita yung book ng bird. It’s a bird, tapos, ‘tweet, tweet,'” Marian told PEP in a recent interview. “Lahat naman ng bata ngayon, nagga-ganun na. Nakikipag-socialize na para siyempre yung development nila bilang bata. Ayoko naman na kapag nilalabas ko siya, takot siya sa tao. Gusto ko namang ma-develop ang personality niya,” she explains.

She also shared that she plans to enrol baby Zia in piano and swimming lessons next.

We can’t wait to see what baby Zia’s next milestones will be!
