Baby Brain Weekly Memoir … 29th May 2015 … Lots of Family Time!

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

  
How was your week?x

Baby Brain Weekly Memoir – 22nd May 2015 … Masis Birthday, Playdates, Willow’s Farm & Guru Arjun Dev Ji Shaheedi Gurpurab

Hello all! 

It’s been a full on week but we’ve had lots of fun! 
On Sunday we visited Willow’s Farm with Arjun’s buddies and our friends. We had an absolute blast. I’ve been meaning to do a separate review on Willow’s Farm and will hopefully get it done this week! After Willow’s Farm we went for a meal at Chiquitos. Siana, Taran and Taranvir are some of Arjun’s first buddies so it’s so nice seeing their relationship grow and it’s fascinating to see how they interact. Arjun is so excited by them all and especially finds Taran entertaining – probably as he’s around the age mark that I’ve mentioned before Arjun seems to take to!

Baby Brain Weekly Memoir … 15th May …Arjun the Social Butterfly!

Hello all!

So this week was our first week back from holiday – back to reality and it sucks a little!

I’ve really mentally and physically struggled this week – a combination of jet lag and not being able to catch up on sleep, Arjun’s constant waking at night, co-sleeping (he sleeps horizontal so Preetam and I are literally falling off the bed!), reduced naps (only one now if I’m lucky!) and a Duracell bunny Arjun (Arjun vs mummy), has left me absolutely knackered. I feel a bit like world’s worst mum at the moment as I’ve been counting down the minutes till Preetam gets home or till Arjun’s nap as I just can’t seem to find the energy to manage everything at once. The part I’ve definitely struggled with the most is his new found inquisition – I miss my boy that would happily play with his toys or eat his meals without the slightest distraction!

Baby Brain Weekly Memoir … Cake Tasting, Co-sleeping, Friends n Food!

Hello all! 
Hope you’ve all had a good week! 
Here’s what we’ve been up to …
Last Saturday we had a family BBQ for Preetam’s birthday which you can read up more on here: Preetam’s Birthday 

Last Sunday we went over to friends, Sonia and Guv’s to meet their beautiful baby Avleen. Arjun of course loved Avleen and spent any given opportunity rushing towards her with his one sided crawl! Haha! Avleen is absolutely gorgeous and such a sweet little baby. Sonia and Guv have such a calm demeanour to them – it’s so endearing and something I wish I could adopt more!

Baby Brain Weekly Memoir … 27th March 2015

Hello all!

Hope you’ve had a good week! This post is a little late as we had a very busy Saturday yesterday!

Last Saturday night I had my first night out in London since I’ve been pregnant! It was for my friend Ruby’s hen. Preetam kept Arjun home and they had a daddy son evening whilst mummy went out and let her hair loose a little.

I had such a brilliant time catching up with the girls – some of which I hadn’t seen in over 10 years. We had lots of laughs reminiscing about the past and how much we’ve grown up. We started the evening off by playing hen games in a hotel room (LOTS OF LAUGHS) and later headed out to a restaurant called Momos just off Regent’s Street.  We had so much fun celebrating . It was also nice to go out with other mums and share our experiences – we were all excited to have a night off but we’re all yawning a lot earlier than the baby less mummies!
