My baby turned 6 months today. The day I went into labor and gave birth feels like yesterday. From day 1 when I felt so windang about motherhood, to 6th month when there are days that I feel like I have adjusted already, and some days that I feel otherwise (and yes, still windang). Every day is a different story.
Though there are lots of challenges, and never-ending adjustments, I just feel grateful to our Lord for giving us His greatest gift, our dear Penelope! Life has never been the same as pre-motherhood and I have happily embraced all these changes. ❤️
Solid food!
At 6 months, we started feeding Pen Pen solid food. Her first solid food was mashed papaya – probably one of the easiest food to offer to a 6-month old coz it would only require little preparation.
We got COVID, for the first time!!
Luckily, I am exclusively breastfeeding Pen Pen, which was a great factor in why she recovered quickly. Thank you, Lord, for the liquid gold! ❤️
We launched #WeekendsWithTheIcogos vlog!
Haha! Vlogging is one thing I wanted to try! It’s my way of documenting our memories as a family. I hope one day Pen Pen will get to see our videos! Haha!
It’s called #WeekendsWithTheIcogos coz it’s mainly about how we spend our weekends. We’re also busy with work on weekdays so there’s not much to share during those days.
Hope you guys can subscribe to my youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/angelmacaraig)! LOL! Shameless plug!
That’s it so far! I have so much to share, but I need to take care of Pen Pen already. Til my next blog!
Xoxo,
Angel
Penelope Janelle's Newborn Shoot | Images and Words Photography
As an excited first-time mom, I started planning my baby's newborn shoot in the early days of my pregnancy. Indeed, time flies so fast — minsan lang sila newborn, that's why having a newborn shoot was non-negotiable.
Images and Words Photography
It took me a while to finalize the photographer for this shoot. I found several options online, but I fell in love with Images and Words Photography's works! I find their output so classy and beautiful, just exactly how I want Pen Pen's pics to turn out. Definitely worth it!
Initially, we intended to have the shoot at their studio. Since I was still recovering at that time (was just 14 days postpartum), we availed the home service option. Good thing they were flexible enough to accommodate my last-minute request.
Thank you, Julius and Guia! Ganda ng photos huhu!
