Happy 6 Months Liit!

My not-so-little boy Maverick celebrated his 6-months birthday 3 times!

How did it happen?

Well, first, I saw this cute little cake in one of the pastries store in town. I was craving for something sweet that day so I bought the cake. I didn't eat it, I just stared at it. Then came February 27, Maverick's monthly birthday. Since I didn't have a cake for him yet, eto nalang nilagyan ko ng candle for him to blow for the celebration.

Daddy Alvin complained why I bought a small cake for his little boy. I told him hindi nya cake yan, cake ko yan, for me to eat na hindi ko naman kinain and ended up sa tummy ni Lola Merlit hehehe.

That same day, we went to Mavi's Lola Precy's house to celebrate her 56th birthday. That why I postponed his monthly celebration because we had dinner somewhere else. As you can see on the picture, naki blow rin si Mavi ng candle sa cake ng Lola Precy nya and with matching cousins and kiddie friends pa to greet him hehehe.


Then, as planned, we have another simple celebration sa house the next day. As always, present ang special spag ni Mama Jarmz and a birthday cake for Mavi. Kaya eto, siguro litong lito ang baby boy ko kung bakit nag blow sya ng candle three times hehehe.

Happy birthday Liit! We call him Liit kasi sya ang smallest sa family namin.

I can believe I survive taking good care of Mavi for 6months, 24/7, co-sleeping since birth, at walang tumutulong gumising sa gabi to help me. I did all the pagpupuyat by myself. Grabe, 6months na ba? Parang kelan lang. Imagine raising up a little boy without his Dad. It was really hard for me.

What's my secret why I survive?

Prayers. And no matter how bad things may seem at times, I always told myself that it will pass. I tried to focus on life's little treasures instead on life's problems. Watching Mavi grow is the biggest reward of all.

And when he keeps me awake at night with his cries and if he just wanted to play, I am thanking God that my little son is still alive, vibrant and healthy. I tried not to complain. I am just thankful that our dear Lord is giving an additional life that is.

Happy 6-months anak. Mama and Papa loves you.
