      Next we see him, he's exploring every nook and cranny of the studio. Here, he's trying to climb up a ladder!

      But he needs some grooming, too! So he picks up a hairbrush for those golden dark brown locks of his.

      The interview by writer Joanna Mendoza elicited an array of emotions from Delle. In this particular instance, we're glad to see her eyes light up!

      Such a happy boy! Cooper entertained himself while waiting by looking at photos from mom's mobile phone and playing with Joanna's son.

      We love how Delle looks in this royal blue top by Rajo Laurel and pants from Gingersnaps.

      A celebratory feel was lent to the set with the pastries and champagne glasses.

      Cooper's grin is so infectious!

      Now, on to the next layout.

      Cooper changes into his next outfit. What a super behaved toddler!
      Photo 22 of 49
      And then, like a true superstar, he flashes this smile as soon as he gets dressed.

      Beam adds some more touches to the food props.
      Photo 24 of 49

      There he goes! A bundle of energy.

      Spidey, is that you? Cooper enjoyed climbing up the inclined backdrop wall.
      Photo 32 of 49
      Delle watches on and tells Cooper to be careful.
      Photo 33 of 49
      Uh-oh!
      Photo 34 of 49
      If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Delle teaches Cooper how to do it without hurting himself.
      Photo 39 of 49
      Did you notice that this layout was shot "in the dark?"
      Photo 40 of 49
      It was meant to create a more intimate setting, as if Delle's putting Cooper to sleep.
      Photo 41 of 49
      Instead of full lights on, this shoot was the first time Smart Parenting went for mood lighting.
      Photo 42 of 49
      While the crew made adjustments to the set, mother and son got comfy on the sofa and quietly bonded.
      Photo 43 of 49
      We can tell Cooper's getting sleepier by the minute. It must be the lighting!
      Photo 44 of 49
      Just look at Cooper's eyes.
      Photo 45 of 49
      Time for some milk!
      Photo 46 of 49
      Good thing Cooper is such a trooper! After that break he was back with a lot more energy!
      Photo 47 of 49
      Here she shows us another one of his charming smiles.
      Photo 48 of 49
      What a beautiful final shot!
      Photo 49 of 49
      Of her experiences, Delle says, "I knew I was strong, but I didn't realize I was THAT strong. What I know for sure is that I am 101% a mother."   See our full video interview with Delamar by clicking http://www.smartparenting.com.ph/sp-tv/.
