Every single second with my son Elijah is memorable to me. He made me realize how wonderful life is. For those who are not reading my blog, I got Elijah when I was in my second year college. I thought God was punishing me for too much night partying that I have. I didn’t know what to do then. I can’t think properly. I can’t even tell my mom that I am pregnant.
fresh from nursery room
After seeing Elijah for the very first time, everything changed. I WAS WRONG. God was not punishing me. He just gave me the biggest blessing I never imagined to have.
My Baguio Centennial Boy is now 1 year and 8 months.
Elijah knows everyone in our house. He can recognize their voice, face and body built but not me. He just smile and say hi to me as if I’m a stranger to him. He can say everything but not Mama. It hurts a lot since I am the one who breastfeed him and we are together 24 hours a day. He learns very fast but he can’t say Mama. But last May 16, 2011, the boy who will conquer every milk in the world called me MAMA. I felt like crying because after how many months he knows I am not Tita Aija, Dede Man or Ayie anymore. I am now his MAMA. He calls me Mama whenever he wakes up every morning and before we sleep at night.
My most memorable moment as Elijah’s mum is when he called me Mama.
THIS IS MY OFFICIAL ENTRY TO MOMMAWANNABE’S MOTHER’S DAY GIVEAWAY.

nice ayie…nakakaiyak nman…sana manalo ka..so0 proud of you pinsan.,love u both..:D
Doctors say that every child has their own learning stage. We cannot push them to do something that they know they cannot do or are not capable yet of doing. Yes we say, “Mother knows best”, but that certain ‘best’ is achieved through hard work. Its just a phase, and congratulations on getting through it. Much Love.
nkaka touch naman. . .
anyway, elijah is a blessing from God, if i am not mistaken, God gave you d baby to change and move forward and God knows that u will be a GOOD mother. .
Ang sweet naman saka ang cute-cute ng baby mo. He’s a blessing 🙂
CUTE! 🙂
elijah was truly a blessing! Good luck!
Surely God didn’t punish you sis for Elijah’s such an adorable bundle of all the precious things in life.=)
Elizah, is lucky to have a mom like you 🙂
aw! so sweet!!!! naiiyak n ko eh…bakit kasi nagbasa p ko ng comment at nabasa ko p cmment ng ate mo LOL ;))
kidding aside…it hurts kapag d nya masabi ang mama and nauna pa ang ibang names but you know what it’s normal,,,kasi wala naman syang kapatid n nagsasabi ng MAMA lagi ko wala syang paggagayahan…unlike the other names n nsa paligid…mas madalas k cguro marinig ng baby mo when youre calling them. 🙂
hope next time ang best 3 words na yong ILOVEU para hapi!
hope you’ll win ganda! Blessings for you!
Way to go baby boy! 🙂
next word na dapat mo matutunan, “Chicks”
awww, touching nga yan. kaso i don’t remember when my son first said mama. wait when he first say i love you mama. mas kaiyak yun 🙂
you don’t look like a mama kasi, na-confuse ang anak mo 🙂 you look like an older ate. you’re both so cute 🙂
aw… ang sweet naman. Hope you’ll be happy forever with your son. =)
awww. i didn’t know na, ngayon ka lang niya tinawag na mama. 😀
awww! so sweet! Thinking about it now, I cannot remember the first time my daughter really called me Mommy. Whenever we ask her before where Mommy is, she would point to boobs. She is breastfeeding, made the connection and literally thought that “mommy” is where she got her dede. Hahaha! Good thing she changed it now. She calls me Mommy and my boobs “dow-do”.
Awww, my little girl’s first words were Dada for Daddy. It took months before she called me Mommy but now almost every sentence has Mom in it because she either wants me to do something for her, or wants to tell me a story, or, or, or…. 🙂
Love your story. Good job Mama!
Awww…so true, blessing and I bet your mom loves being a grandma too! Being a mother doesn’t come with age 🙂 Keep it up!
A memorable moment indeed.. having a child is the most precious gift GOD has given us. We have the same experience.. my baby alexa learned to call her daddy.. but it took her a long time na tinawag ako na mommy.. mas nauna pa ang ate sa yaya nya..
i miss you kiel hihi 😀
i wonder when is he going to call me ninang. hehe. good luck sis.
Hands down ako sayo mami.. 🙂
so touching…

Cute ng picture nyong dalawa. Nakakagigil! 😀
Blessing talaga ang mga babies. It ring a bell kapag tinawag ka nang mommy.
Great moment! Simply priceless and yes, being a parent is a gift from God!

Everything has a reason and God sent Elijah to turn your life around but in a good way. Such a cutie kid sis and you’re one lucky mom!
Cherish every moment…this will not have any replays..only in your “good memories” file!
God bless you for bringing your “God’s gift”, Elijah into our world!
Ang sarap pakinggan when your child calls you Mama, nakakapawi ng pagod. 🙂
kids in this era are smart and intelligent, from the very beginning Elijah already knows you’re his mom, maybe he just took his time to call you Mama hihi 🙂
ohhh:( this made me cry.. my son sometimes calls me Joanne / Jo or even Ate and tita Jo. because yun naririnig niya from my brothers and nieces… kaya nakakabigla at nakakaiyak pag tinawag akong mama din:(
bkit nmn c jb,, nssbi n nya ang mami at dadi. pero una nya n22nan ang mama at papa. after that mami and dadi na.
