Last weekend, we went to Los Baños to visit relatives and attend an aunt's 50th birthday party. I took it as an opportunity for Matthew to make his first appearnce there and take his first long drive.
We pretty much lost him to people, but it wasn't too bad. Armand and I were able to hie off to a neiborhood spa for a scrub and massage before the party. And the next morning, I let my mom take Matthew so we could sleep in.
When I woke up, I found out that my cousin and sister were getting ready to take Matthew to a nearby photo studio. They probably would've left without us if I didn't wake up in time! After dressing up the baby, we headed out.
Matthew was asleep by this time. He was still asleep when we got there, but Armand woke him up, quite rudely, playing with his nose. So cranky and sleep-interrupted, Matthew had his first pictorial!
Armand had to hold him on the chair, becuase it was slippery and Matthew doesn't quite know how to sit down on his own yet. The printed photo does not show the hand, so he really looked older, and bigger, then his age.
