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.

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.

Thats a wonderful kid, you are one lucky mum)
I admire your strength, you did the right thing. Now looking at this photo i ask myself, how can that many women abort their pregnancy. This is really miracle to bring into word.
Congratulations with your child, i wish you and your son the best!
I can so relate! My son learned to say “Daddy” first, and when he was finally able to call me, he first mentioned. “MY-MO,” instead of “Mommy.” That moment was bliss! I hope you win!
Elijah is clearly a blessing, the best gift that God can give you. You are very courageous, and I know you are a very good mom. 🙂 P.S. Elijah is very cute and so huggable!
Elijah is a combination of “el” meaning God and “Jah,” meaning Jehovah. Jah as a name also means “dignity” in Africa. The meaning of the name Elijah in Hebrew is The Lord Is My God. The connection of Jah to the Hebrew and African cultures helps illustrate the interconnectedness of Rastafari with both Africa and Judaism.
He already knew that you are his mother. No need to call you first. Just feel it.

Yan ang sis! I love you sis! Mwah. I miss biik. huhu.
Elijah got the best mom he can have! Proud for you little sis!
🙂
Oh, what a courage woman you are sis. So sweet naman ang pic 🙂
Raising a child is hard, much more if you are doing it alone. Having a child in the wrong time is not commendable, but your COURAGE to face the consequences of your action is remarkable.
I sincerely hope that you win this contest for your son 🙂 And may the Lord continue to guide you and help you as you raise your little man.
I’m sure when Elijah grows up, he’ll be so proud to have you as his mommy 🙂
nice. =) kakainggit..hehe..miss ko na c biik!
wow, so sweet!it is really memorable to be called “mama” by our beloved sons. jared doesn’t say much yet, but he can say ma, sometimes to the top of his lungs pa (when he is mad + when he demands something :))!
You are a very strong woman, taking care of your baby on your own 🙂 My daughter’s first word was daddy but that’s ok, mas malapit pa rin naman sya sa kin until now… hehe
Wow, bonggang bongga ang welcoming ni Baby. We’re the same sis, boy rin ang eldest ko. 🙂 I got another one on the way this July too. Hope you can comment me on my entry here: My most memorable moment as a mother.
pinakamasarap tlaga ung me tatawag saung mommy.ganun din feelings ko ke lex nun. keep up the good work ayie and good luck! para ke elija lahat yan diba?
ako din! sabihin mo tita karla!
I feel you sister! My kids’ first words were DADDY! But I look at it this way, they love me so much to save me for last.. 😀
the best of luck to you and your little boy! i hope you win because he is so darn sweet and he deserves a treat from your winnings! jollibee? hehe
whatever and however, getting pregnant is not a punishment.child is always a blessing.and because he/she is a blessing, you should give your all to this child especially being a mother. haven’t addressed you as ‘mama’ at the time you expected him to call you doesn’t mean he loves you less. it’s his way of expressing he loves you the most because you’re special to him. if you’re happy you have him, it’s the same thing with him. it’s just that he can’t expressed it the way you expected him to be…my prayers na sana manalo ka para mas lalong lab ka ni diyego kasi madami ka na pambili laruan at banana nya..goodluck!
:’ )
What a beautiful love! Good luck!
How sweet,,,an angle sent from heaven. He’ll guide and will be your strength to move and fight all the battles that you both will in the journey of life.
