Today was a great day- Ashie’s 1st birthday partay!
I’ll have to post pics later as they are not downloaded yet…..but wanted to get down a few thoughts first.
My mum has been visiting & it’s been just lovely. I absolutely love having her around- I wish we could see each other more often, but we always make the most of our short times together. Ash has enjoyed having a visitor in the house; it always takes a little bit of time for him to get used to “grandma” again, but they get along very well!
I’ve been a little emotional leading up to Ashie’s birthday. A year has gone by so fast. I remember a particular day when Ash was about 2 weeks old & he was very unsettled. He would only sleep on my chest. I was so annoyed this day, I just wanted some space & peace & quiet, but nothing was working; this baby was superglued to me. Paul told me to make the most of it. He said that Ash was only going to be little like this for such a short amount of time & that this would turn out to be a precious memory. He reminded me of something really important; something I try to remember every day. I am so grateful for all of the amazing moments we’ve had in Ashie’s first year of life. I want to make sure that I continue to make the most of all of our time together, even the tough times (like the 5am wakeup calls we’ve been having!).
Anyway, happy bday little buddy. I think you’ve had a very special birthday surrounded by many many people who love and adore you- some near, some far. I wish you much growth, happiness, laughter and fun as we journey into your 2nd year!!!!!!
