Happy 1st Birthday, My Darling Son!!!

Happy 1st Birthday to my little Erik!!! Mummy cannot believe that it was exactly 1 year ago that you were born and both Mummy and Daddy got to hold you for the very first time. We love you so much!!!

For the past couple of nights, it hasn't been easy as Erik is now teething again. He is drooling like mad and has been waking up every 1/2 hour during the night. Usually, nursing him calms him down and he drifts back asleep happy and content. However, teething this time around is especially hard on him and he doesn't even want to nurse! The one secret weapon that mummy and daddy uses...and nope...doesn't want anything to do with it! So basically, Mummy and Daddy rotates on who gets to carry him and rock him back to sleep. SIGH! We're exhausted!

However, it doesn't stop us from celebrating. Mummy and Daddy are taking the day off to spend time with Erik. Mummy is staying up in the wee-hours to bake infant-toddler friendly cupcakes to bring to Erik's school to share with all his buddies. Daddy has been cleaning up the house like mad (THANKS DADDY!). We ordered a couple of gifts for Erik but that will have to come next week since Mummy and Daddy didn't finalize our gifts until this weekend! Hahaha!

So a little bit of reflection from Mummy's side.

The first year journey has been an amazing one. Erik makes Daddy and Mummy so happy most of the time (~98%), especially when he smiles. He also makes us sad at times, like when he had his first accident of falling on the floor, twice in one day. Mummy bawled like a river! He also makes us have more patience on things, as in taking time out to actually eat instead of just stuffing our faces within 5 minutes and call it a meal. Erik makes Daddy cook home-cooked food like mad and Daddy absolutely loves it! We love our "Baby Chhimi" aka Erik!!

Happy 1st Birthday, our darling son!!! Thanks for coming into our lives and showing us unconditional love!
