Iza Calzado celebrated her first birthday since becoming a mom to her daughter Deia Amihan.

In an Instagram post, the actress — who turned 41 last August 12 — marked her milestone birthday by sharing photos of her with her family.

“Celebrating my birthday with our baby Deia is all that I could wish for. I never thought that one day I’d be thinking about someone else more than me on my birthday. Now, that’s a miracle!” she said.

“Cheers to 41!” she added.

The “Darna” star also expressed her gratitude to all those who remembered to greet her on her birthday.

“P.S. Dear friends, I will make my way through the greetings a little slower this year. Know that I am so grateful for the love,” she said.

Iza gave birth to her daughter last January 26. She announced her pregnancy on her 40th birthday last year.

Opening up about her motherhood journey to Metro.style, Iza described herself as a clingy mom.

“I don’t know if I’m a smother-mother but I love her. I want to be with her all the time. But I’m not the most paranoid, I’m more chill than Ben,” she laughed.

“I'm just present with her. That's the thing I realize about being a mother, you're so present. They (babies) force you to be present and because they're the best present, the best gift. Your presence is so important. You're connecting with them. Every moment with them counts. Every moment, I have to give [Deia] 100 percent of me,” she added.

As for Ben, Iza said her husband is very hands-on with their child as well.

“[Specifically] with playtime. You see that when she's interacting, he loves teaching her and I see that it makes him happy,” she said. “He’s a great father. But he has to focus on this so eventually he can spend more time with the baby. I feel that his presence will be more needed when she's already doing activities," she said.

She went on: “He's just so enamored with our child, and so am I. Every day when we wake up, ‘Should we do playtime lang? Let's lie down with her a little more.’ Kasi she's more responsive now, mas nakakatuwa. I'm telling her, ‘this is mommy, this is daddy’ and I love you so much. We cuddle and kiss, doing as much to give her as much love as we can. That's how our life has changed.”

Iza and Ben have been married since 2018. They tied the knot in a beach ceremony in Palawan on December 19, 2018.
