One of the gifts that mateo received on his baptism was a gift certificate at Pic-a-boo, a photo studio specializing in baby pictures. When we saw the GC, we immediately wanted to bring mateo there for a shoot, but andrea protested and said we should wait till he turns one. So a few weeks after he did, we went to SM City at The Block to use the certificate.

Here are some the pictures from that photo shoot.

Here he is showing off his banana.

After learning how to walk, Mateo is now learning the next step – climbing!

Looking at all his photos, andrea and I both agree that mateo is photogenic. What we can’t agree on is who does he take after?
