Hope you had a great week last week and an even better weekend!
Here’s ours (a little late) in pictures (mostly!) x
Last weekend my birthday celebrations continued at The Dorchester with my sisters and best friend while daddy and Arjun spent the day watching Moto GP. You can see more pictures from our day out in London here.
We went for leaving drinks as Arjun’s buddy, Pranay, is moving to Florida. We will miss them lots but look forward to visiting! Arjun enjoyed all the cuddles from his uncles and aunties!
We were visited by Amrit Masi x
We went for a cafe lunch x
We went to Taran Masi’s ladies Sangeet and Arjun was super fascinated by all the colours and people around him x
We had a play date with E and Josie. On the same day we went to Taran Masi’s mendhi where Arjun wasn’t quite himself. You can read about that slightly challenging day here. x
Hello all!
This weeks been quite a chilled out one in comparison to last week!
We started the week off by attending my friend Ruby’s chunni/engagement ceremony. She looked jaw droppingly gorgeous!
It was so nice to spend some time with other mummies and their babies. Some of which have two! Although I went to sixth form with these girls, I rarely get to see them and it’s really nice when I do as we often share our stories and end up sharing useful advice too!
Arjun was pretty much glued to daddy the whole night and it was way past his bedtime so he was pooped pretty quick!
We spent a lot of time at dada and dadis this week and even had a sleepover with Arjun’s Mané pooji who was staying over too. It was so much fun and bought back memories from when I first got married and when Mané was still living at her parents before she got married. I miss the days where my mother in law, Mané and I would go off on random missions together be it cooking something, going shopping or for pedicures! It felt just like old times and Arjun really had a great time being fussed over. He loved spending time with his grandparents, playing with poojis toys and stealing Indy chachus food! But most of all he enjoyed his chats with Junior!
He even got an extra treat – his little Pua came to see him and he laughed so much with her. Ramneek spent lots of time entertaining Arjun and had so much patience with him. He adores her. Arjun even created his first masterpiece with his two puas – though his clothes were covered in more felt tip pen than his drawing – thankfully they were washable! By the time Arjun’s Sarub Chachaji arrived, Arjun was pretty pooped!
While staying at my in laws, Mané, Ramneek and I even managed a quick shopping trip whilst the grandparents baby sat and we also all had a movie night which was great fun. Though I’m not sure I’m cut out for 1am finishes anymore!
We were also visited by my friend Sav this week. As usual, she had all the time in the world for him and he spent a lot of the afternoon chasing around after her (or her him!).
Not very often for us, but Arjun and I ventured out for a walk and cafe breakfast this week. I don’t often take him to places out alone and this was the probably the second time we ate out alone just the two of us! The only other time was at Westfield I think! Arjun had a cheese toastie and I had a veggie breakfast. It was really nice and I hope as my confidence increases so will our outings alone.
This week also marked Arjun’s 11 month birthday. If you haven’t seen his update, you can here.
Wow! 11 months! How did that happen?
I cannot believe that this time next month, Arjun will be a year. I’m really struggling to absorb that. My terrible memory means that everything just feels like a big fat blur! I have one month left till he’s a little toddler!
