To celebrate my son's monthly milestone I do always buy him a cake. Amidst heavy expenses on buying milk (since I was not able to breastfed) and diapers, I will set aside some money to buy him a cake monthly.

And for his upcoming 4th birthday next month - since Ivan has current preference for Thomas Train, I need to look for a birthday cake that might look like this one.

ReplyDeleteung inaanak ko, before he turned 1y/o, every month, pinapapicture-ran xa ng mama niya sa studio :)
Your baby is soooo adorable! You may not have experienced celebrating your bday with a cake, but because of that your son will have all the cake he'd ever want every month. Things work out in the end. :)
ReplyDeleteoh my so beautiful and heartwarming! a cake every month! :)
ReplyDeletethe 8th month cake is really beautiful :>
Cakes! Yum yum. But of course it was the adults who enjoyed them the most ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is so impressive. You should keep all these photos and give it to him when he's grown up, am sure he will thank you no end for your love and thoughtfulness.
ReplyDeleteI love it. Nice cakes too..
what a lovely mom! :)
ReplyDeleteHello Ms. Gigi! Are you in Manila right now? You might want to have your sons cake customized by Swirls N Sprinkles. They'er based in Antipolo, and I highly recommend them. They've already done 3 batches of creative and unique cakes for me. They can surely make the Thomas the Train-inspired cake. :) Check out their FB page. :)
ReplyDeletewow, you're such a sweet mom. i feel so happy for Derek. Hope he gets to see this post when he's older, and he'll have you to thank for, 'cause you're such a wonderful mom!
ReplyDeleteThis is a moment of inspiration - I might celebrate my coming birthdays with a sumptuous, thematic cake. :)
ReplyDeletewhen i was a kid, my mom had always bought me cakes. now that I'm a grown up, well, she still does the same. hehe. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, so sweet Mommy Gigi... I never experienced having a cake in my birthdays. The Philippines was under economic crunch when I was a kid, LOL!
ReplyDeleteaww.. :) i don't really have a birthday tradition or rituals but i see to it that we always eat out on my birthday :)
ReplyDeleteVery impressive indeed! Yeah...something that I never get to have as a kid. As much as possible I am trying to experience them now or try to have those things I never get to have. Your son is lucky to have such a thoughtful and loving mom as you are.
ReplyDeleteAwww.. You're such a sweet mom! :) Derek may not fully appreciate the cakes and monthly celebrations for now, but when he grows up and see the photos, I'm sure he'll be so touched.. :D
ReplyDeletereally? you buy cakes every month?
ReplyDeletegeez makes me crave with that one!! i wish i could find my girls first bday as well! xx
ReplyDeleteI recall my baby girl having month cakes a year back. ^_^ Its an ecstatic feeling to celebrate one's milestone.
ReplyDeletewow! that's a lot of cakes!
ReplyDeleteA celebration is never the same without cakes! Mas ok na nga ngayon kasi ang dami ng bakeshops na nagproproduce ng masarap na cakes. Dati 2 lang pde either Goldilocks or Red Ribbon.
ReplyDeleteThis would make a cute scrapbook of cake photos. :)
ReplyDeletemouth watering cakes .we Filipinos really love to celebrate our kids monthsary.
ReplyDeleteEvery mother has own way of documenting
ReplyDeletesignificant events in her child's life.
It's nice to see those different cakes.
Weee.. you've completed the pics of the cakes for your baby's birthday celeb :) And I guess it's sweet of you to let your baby have this even if you didn't have it when you were younger. That's how parents are.. making their children have happier moments and a better life.,., XD
