On the 1st of December, Melissa turned 18 Months old. It has been the quickest 18 months of my life, ever. It only feels like yesterday that I was waddling around, waiting for her arrival, and now she is here running around, and trying her very best to talk.
It is amazing how much they grow in such a short space of time. It's hard to imagine a day when she couldn't even hold her head up, it still all feels a bit surreal, even now after 18 months.
At 18 months old her little character is shining through more and more, and I can start to see the little girl she will become. She is such a happy and funny little girl, and people even strangers comment on her. Every shop will go into she will wave to everyone on the way out and quite happily talk to anyone who gives her a smile, she makes me one very proud Mama! As happy as she is, she does have her moments of being a little tinker and knows how to throw a good paddy when she wants. I thought 'terrible twos' started at 2, not 18 months?! She threw a paddy in a packed shop because she couldn't have a toy pram, well it took me totally of guard and I quickly went to the till, paid and left. Next time I think I will a little better prepared.
Her favourite things to do are; dancing, any bit of music that comes on and she will do a little dance, bouncing up and down and swinging her arms totally adorable. Along with this, which it quite a new thing is singing, you never know she may be the next big pop star when she's older!
Another she absolutely loves are wooden puzzles, and my goodness she is good at them. They are the ones where you match up the animals to what is on the board.
So I thought I would share with you a few of my favourite photographs of her/ us from the past 18 Months. As I upload them I will probably be crying at them wondering my little baby and the time has gone..
So yes, I did cry looking through all my photos. Becoming a Mummy has been so rewarding- tiring but oh so rewarding. Especially now when she is at the age, where she will stop what she is doing and come over to you and give you a kiss, and right then and there my heart just fills up with so much love, and I feel like I could pop with happiness. Or the way she looks so excited to show me something she has learnt and I feel so proud of her. Becoming a Mummy, has truly been a gift.
I hope you have enjoyed this post. Is there anything you wish for me to post? If so, please comment below. Hope you're having a lovely day.
Love
