For the last few weeks he has been saying he will be 3 and since we celebrated mine and Hal's birthday he has learnt to say happy birthday. He requested cake for his birthday which of course we could provide.
It breaks my heart to see this gorgeous boy being so independent and grown up, how can this be my boy? When did this all happen? I frequently scroll through my phone pictures or look at photos around the house and struggle to believe how time has flown and how we got from newborn Aydi to this boy who can tell us what he wants which undoubtedly will involve either numbers, smoothies, kitchens (meaning coffee shops) or slides. The love for numbers to my surprise has not dwindled nor has the urge to take every possible toy out and throw it on the floor only to lose interest in it once it's out. The obsession with the laundry is still strong and the love of me reading to him.
He has recently become more accepting of Amber and loves looking at her and having her close so he can play with her hands and give her kisses. I think these two will be great friends if Ambers smiles when he is close are anything to go by.
I am amazed how much his vocabulary has expanded in what seems like a few weeks to the extent that we get full sentences not just words. I love his enthusiasm for learning and his memory recall which at times seems unbelievable.
I am so proud that I could have had any involvement in producing a boy that is so intelligent, healthy and handsome. Just don’t grow up so quickly beautiful boy, let mama enjoy you while you are this cute.
These pictures below are the official unplanned birthday celebrations thanks to GlamMa Lil who made it feel special with the ballon and gifts. Xx
Another year has come and gone and I feel wonderful and thankful for these beautiful people around me. Though life is stressful and relentless sometimes with a toddler and a baby I know I am extremely blessed to have them plus my lovely mum and Ewa and Randy to cheer me up . At 33 I start the year with a ray of sunshine and positivity because heck I won't be this young again and if I let stress blind me I will miss the great things I have and they're in abundance right now so let's soak it in!
Look at this cutie, finally managed to upload a few photos after days of failing miserably. Time to work my way backwards and load everything I had missed.
Haircut, picnic, play group and home but not before squeezing lots of fun and family time with Glammy. We had a lovely stress free Sunday and great pictures to show for it.
I wonder Amber will be a thumb sucker? Aydin never was he did a few days of finger sucking when he was a few months old but after a few days he lost interest and never went back to it. It does look extremely cute but the thought of trying to get them to stop when they are older is worrying new territory for me. Let’s enjoy the cuteness now though.
My little girl got a little bath in the sink as she is just too little for a whole bath to herself right now. And how sweet is it that she fits in the kitchen sink. My beautiful baby girl melts my heart.
Love it when Bibi sends me pictures of Aydins day he always looks so different to me when around other kids. Not sure why but I always get that chest bursting with pride feeling that this is my boy. Such a beautiful, jolly little boy with those big brown eyes and wonderful curls and somehow I made him. It’s just amazing and I would almost not believe it had I not seen and felt him entering the world so vividly!
So excited about these two getting to know each other. It was always my dream if I had one child I would definitively have to have a second to give him/her a sibling. With this little girl I have given Aydin what I would have loved for myself. My hope now is they get along and support each other through thick and thin and share their memories of growing up together. I can’t wait to see this relationship develop and will do my best to ensure these two love and take care of each other always.
I'm Jo and this is my little place to record the moments I cherish of everyday life. I know I would never remember all these so at least this way I can capture them, and not only I but family and friends, can take a dip into the past when desired.
