It's my husband's 35th birthday tomorrow and I don't have anything to give him. Well, we normally do not surprise each other on our birthdays so when I asked him what he wants to do tomorrow, he just shrugged his shoulders and specifically said he doesn't know what he wants but he sure knows what he doesn't want to happen and that's a mañanita.

A mañanita was done for him last year and he doesn't like that our friends and churchmates would do it again today. He said hopefully there are no surprises and he dislikes surprises. He as well doesn't like being a subject of attention so one experience from last year was enough.

But I made some photo collages instead and had them scheduled to be posted on my little one's social media page. I guess this would do. I checked old photos from the hard drive and social media page and used canvas to put them all together. It's quite easy making collage photos now because of Canva so this was done in just a few minutes.

One of my favorite photos here is that image of when Matti was still a few weeks old and he slept on my husband's shoulder with his mouth opened. It was just so cute that I had to take the photo even if it was dark. Seeing that photo, brought me so many memories. When Matti was smaller, every after milk, my husband would bring him to his shoulders for burping. Since that was pandemic time, my husband had never left us except for grocery time so he was also putting Matti to sleep every day!

I recall that every eight in the evening, regardless if I had a nap that afternoon or not, my body would just go into auto-sleep mode. I can't explain it but I would just become super sleepy that I can't fight it, I'd eventually just sleep without minding my environment. So I would always tell my husband to keep an eye on Matti while I go sleep. He still worked and he has to also take care of the baby while I was resting for two to three hours, I appreciate that he never complained!

What makes me happy is the fact that my husband never missed any of Matti's milestones because of the work-from-home setup. He was there from when Matti came and even until this day. There was only one night that they didn't cosleep when I was out in the city with my family and James had to stay at home.

In the photos here, it is definitely evident that he loves our son. It can be seen from the way he holds him and how he would sacrifice work just so he can have time for his only son.

I still have no idea what we will do tomorrow, I guess we will just go eat out with the family just like last year. Thanks for reading this blog!
