I record all kinds of things on this blog from travel to food to fashion and lots in between. But these, these types of posts are the most precious. Because today we live in a world where we can leave more of a footprint than ever before. And when my days are done, my children and my children’s children will have a window into my thoughts and feelings during a moment in time. I think that's pretty special...
To my second born daughter,
You are 6 months old. It’s crazy to imagine that you have only been around for 6 months but it’s also so obvious that this is how it was always meant to be.
You brought something to our little family that we never knew was missing, but most definitely always needed. From the moment you were born you just slotted right in and it was instant love.
You are the most incredible baby and your little personality shines through so strongly. You are the happiest baby I know, hardly ever a cry and almost always a laugh. You love life, you love your family. You love people in general, you can flash your winning smile at a stranger from the comfort of your pram, and they just melt. Many have!
You and your sister are besotted by each other and I just know you’re going to be the bestest friends always. She was protective of you from the moment she met you. It makes my heart melt to watch the loving way she talks to you, and the way your face lights up whenever she’s around. You laugh at all of her jokes and she laps it up, she’s quite the entertainer and you think it’s hilarious.
You still have a thing to learn about sleep. We are a family of sleepers that loves to nap and you haven’t quite caught on yet. You’re not too bad in the night time but during the day you just don’t want to miss out. Don’t worry, I’m sure it won’t be long until you realise sleep is awesome!
We’ve just started to introduce you to food. That’s another thing you’ll learn. We love our food! So far you’ve had carrot, sweet potato, pear and parsnip. The looks you give me after the first taste of everything is quite something. Its a mixture of shock, disgust and..... ‘what on earth?’. Don’t worry my baby, I will do my best to cook you wholesome and delicious food always. I hope that one day you’ll think I’m the best cook on earth, just like I feel about my mum.
We’ve just got your fist ever passport and I’m going to show you as much of the world as I can. We have lots to see together. You are lucky enough to have roots in multiple continents and will probably end up with at least 3 passports.
Just wait until I take you to Australia. I can’t wait to show you the place where I lived as a little girl and to introduce you to all my nearest and dearest over there. The tickets are booked and it will be happening this Christmas, your first Christmas.
I have 5 more months to enjoy you all to myself before I go back to work and you start nursery. I plan to live in the moment as much as possible and enjoy each and every minute with you.
Thank you for enriching our lives, thank you for choosing me as your Mama and thank you for being the absolute delight that you are.
Words can’t even express how much I love you.
Your Mama xxx
