Long time coming

Dear readers,

It’s been a while since I was motivated enough to write. Life has been great. Laksh has been great.  But somehow, in all the craziness that’s life I just lost the will to write. My husband kept me going through it all by reminding me why I started this blog in the first place; to share with the world what a blessing our precious son is. And it’s for him that I write this blog and its for him that I shall strive to continue.

Laksh is one. Yes it’s been a year since God blessed us with our first born. This one year taught us so much. When Laksh turned one, I shared this post on our Instagram and Facebook page where I wrote a few lines encompassing my feelings.

This one year, I have learned so much. 

This one year, I have grown so much.

This one year. I have embraced so much.

This one year, I have loved so much.

This one year, I have felt humility.

This one year, I have felt grateful.

This one year, I have felt divinity.

This one year, I have felt complete.

Happy first birthday my precious Laksh. Thank you for making me a Mumma.

We had a pre-birthday celebration at our apartment a couple days before Laksh turned one and were lucky to have lots of loved ones come with their family. It was our first time hosting a party and I am proud to say it went well with only one adult tantrum (me) and zero baby tantrums.

                                     

On the day of his birthday, we had a cake smash photo session for him and it couldn't have gone any better. I will let the photos do the talking.

  

Things Laksh has always loved and has grown to love:

1) Daddy

2) Mommy

3) His big sisters (he loves them both but has only met one so far)

            

4) His aunts (all 0f his family actually)

             

                       

5) The beach

        

   





















6)The pool

   

7) The swings

8) Seeing new places and meeting people

                                                           

                           

           

   

      

                  

9) Making a mess of his play area

                                

10) Standing:

                                        

                                 

Things Laksh hates:

Thank you taking the time to read about how Laksh's first year has been. I am going to try to be more regular with blogging. Do write in your comments what you guys would like to know and I will try to blog about that next time. Always be kind folks. It is a great time to be alive.

My thoughts for you..

Dear readers,

I know I have been very sporadic with my writing but most days I am on complete zombie mode by the time I get home that bed seems like the only thing on my mind.

Laksh still isn't sleeping through the night so hubby and I (mostly him 😉) take turns waking up with him, which can be exhausting after working long hours.
Being a parent is the most rewarding and most terrifying experience in life.  When we add working parent  to it, that makes it a little more challenging and then comes a child with special needs. In the past 8 months, (yes Laksh is 8 months old already) what I have learned is that, more difficult the circumstances, more rewarding it becomes.  Like anything else in life, the more you have to work for it, the more you appreciate it. There are days you wish life was a little easy but easy is boring. Easy is like getting stuck in a rut without any excitement. Easy is like eating the same flavor of ice cream day after day and everyone knows that variety is the spice of life.

Every single day, I wake up grateful that God gave me this responsibility. I do think that we get only what we can handle even if it may not seem so in the beginning. Always keep that in mind.  Next time you see an over worked parent, dont be quick to judge but simply empathize. I know it's easy to mock but it's divine to understand instead. Love what you have and appreciate what you don't.

Leaving you guys with a couple pics of my baby at his 8 month birth day. 

Sorry if there are any mistakes, wrote this on my phone while riding the subway to work. Be kind always folks.
