Hello Tuesday!
Hmmmmm.. I missed my Mondays here.
It is kinda not possible for me anymore to be around during the weekends as I have too many roles to act and writing is set far far far at the back. I could not juggle it in betweens no matter how much I wanted. I did say that I am slowly building myself back here in the community, so guys do bear with me if I somehow missed some days.
Anyhow, today I would like to share with you some of the pictures that I have found as I was cleaning my phone and deleting some old files. These pictures did remind me of my early years of motherhood with my first born. Well, we do have a lot as in super many pictures snapped and kept in our memory cards that we don't seem think their existence matters till now. You see, during Maque time I was pretty much a proud momma or a stage mother in keeping our son involve in every activities.
Like I was pretty much engrossed in joining almost every photo challenges and contest in Instagram (IG). And we did won a few of them! I guess I have been already a competetive kind of momma since thene and up to now to keep joining challenges and contest anywhere. I feel that this kind of activity encourage me to think outside of the box. But during those thimes, somehow it was just one of our bonding moments with Maque as we were able to enjoy all of our photoshoots. I was able to learn and BRIBE him in giving me the shots I needed... hahahaha.. lolz. We took our photoshoots during our dayoff or walks in the park. I just have the my pinkie camera ready all the time.
So, there is one contest that I was particularly excited to join each week. And this was the contest about putting WORD or WORDs into the PICTURE. Do you get what I mean?? The instruction was to post a picture with a word that perfectly fits the picture. Of course, my main subject is no less than MaqueBoy. I kept on using him as my model in all of my photography madness. Yep! I have reached that level! hahahahaha..
And this was my first entry!
True enough YOU HAD ME AT HELLO...
Just look at those chubby, chunky and meaty baby legs.. 😂🤣
Even the anklet was gonna break and almost giving up its life.. hahahaha.
I did not stop there! You know me, I just do not know when to stop or quit. Why would I when we were enjoying the game. We were always thinking what else could we do or what is the next shot or how it would be taken.
Then, taaadaaaaaa!
Isn't this COOOOOOOOL!!!
You see, my constant bribe to keep him still and not on the loose is to keep his mouth busy. Oh yeah! Food is his weakness aside from COCOMELON! I do not think I know a momma who doesn't know Baby JJ..
Luckily, there was this toy eyeglasses and the idead just popped instantly.
It is getting harder each week because a lot is already joining and have the same level of interest in getting the top 1 slot. And no, there was no monetary award given to us. The ony thing we get in return was the #1 Spot for the week, somehow it made us famous for a while. That was happiness already! hahahaha..
Then, BOREDome took over! Even then, my ideas just keep on popping! hahahahaha.. good thing I can just adjust the color of the eyeglasses, thanks to Photoshop! The original color was really blue and not green. 😉
Another important tip in taking pictures of your children is having a quick reflex. You have to know when to take the leap (literally I jump and take the shot in a flash) and snap. You know kids, they move too fast!
Next, we have the WOW lightbulb! ahahahaha. It was just a perfect timing as I took this shot. He was pretty much enjoying and he suddenly shouted calling someone. I could not really remember who he was shouting or laughing at. I was busy rummaging to my bag and getting the shot.. hahahaha..
Of course, I am also is fond of taking shots while he is sleeping, ain't all moms do that??? I have plenty here in my phone and in my laptop that I could have the heart to delete. Can you relate how I feel? I hope this feeling is not just me. 😅😂
As they say, kids are monster when they are awake and they the KINDest when they are sleeping.
Saving the last picture as the best, this one do melt my heart always.
When MaqueBoy was small, I like the idea of me towering over him because I wanted him to feel that he could always LOOK UP to me anytime and anywhere he needs me. I would always remain as his pillar of strength and wall of comfort.
I hope you had enjoyed my little photo-edit gallery of my firstborn on our mini challenges years ago. I had fun doing it all from the photoshoots, photo editing and the little kiddie dates we do.
That was it! It's a wrap guys!
byeeeeeeeee!
