Merry Christmas! Yep, we Filipinos have a long celebration, and the season starts on September 1! So, if you roamed around now, you could already see Christmas decorations. Colorful lights, Christmas trees, wreaths, etc. @coolmidwestguy knows that, and even @ifarmgirl asked me if I had set up a décor. LOL, honestly, I haven't, I am still thinking if I would, as storage is my main concern after 🤣. However, I am listening to Christmas songs while writing this blog. Playlist of Jose Mari Chan.
What was special for this month aside from the start of the festive season?
Guess what? Baby and I are finally done with the fragile stage as he turns three months! 👏👏. As a first-time Mom, I am so proud of myself! Despite being alone at times, my body was wearied and felt like it would break down anytime due to fatigue. It was really true that Mom had a super power; my baby's smile was like a dose of vitamins that drove me every day!
Friday the 13th is an unlucky day? Well, not for me now as that's called a celebration for me.
Just like the previous month, I did prepare a DIY photoshoot to document this memorable day. Thus my problem was, his clothes that were supposed to be worn no longer fit!
Picture was taken when he was two months old. This was supposed to be worn when he turned a month, but too huge for him as he was still recovering at that time. This was never worn, and now it is too tight! He suddenly grows.
I checked his clothes and found only one onesie. That reminds me now that I need to shop for a few pairs as we need to go out now from time to time for his immunization.
The DIY Shoot
I didn't buy anything for backdraft but rather utilized whatever I found at home. It would be easy to take photos of him now. MY thought while preparing.
Expectation VS Reality! There was so much destruction, and it was hard to make him look at the camera! I was trying to get his attention while holding my phone, and here are some more photos.
They still didn't look at me! Common baby, give me a better angle!
He wasn't really in the mood, so I decided to put him down in our bed.
Yes, baby, are you mad? It looks like you are about to punch someone 🤣. I hope it wasn't me.
I sent some of these photos in our family group chat, and @asiaymalay said he now looks like me, my male version! Does he?
I think it's because he got my eyes! Yet, my Mom mentioned that I was this chubby when I was a baby with curly hair like my baby!
And yeah, frizzy hair for now 🤣. As much as I wanted to visit a salon, it was advisable. It could be the next hair or at least a treatment when the husbands arrive.
Well, I sent him this photo, and he was surprised to see his son grow that fast! Ah, he was so heavy to hold now 🤣😆.
At times, I felt mad at the husband for being an absentee Dad physically, especially during the hard times, yet on the other side, I pity him. There were so many milestones he missed, starting when I was pregnant until our son was born. He will be seeing him in his six months. Yep, he will be going home this December for a month's vacation. I was now looking forward to a Disney princess treatment, lol!
