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!

Arjun vs Mummy!

So the last few days have been pretty interesting (and tiring) in our household!

Arjun has suddenly decided to go exploring with no holding back whatsoever.

Not going to lie, I’ve struggled! With being back from holiday and alone with him again and this sudden upsurge in energy on his part and the sudden drain of energy on mine, it’s been exhausting!

I love that his personality is developing, but he’s a typical boy! I miss the days where I could put him in one place and know he’d stay put! But I also love seeing his quirkiness as tiring as it is.

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!

Arjun’s First Vaisakhi & Nagar Kirtan :)

Hello all,

Hope you’re keeping well!

Wednesday 14th April marked the 316th birthday of the Khalsa  – known as Vaisakhi. The Khalsa refers to those who collectively lead their lives as Sikhs in the image of Guru Gobind Singh Ji.  I thought I’d share a little background about Vaisakhi and Sikhism as it’s such an important part of my life 🙂

What is Vaisakhi?

Baby Brain Weekly Memoir … Baby TV 1st Birthday, A Baby Shower, Vaisakhi & Odd’s Farm! … 17th April 2015

Hello All!

Hope you had a great week!

We had a fun filled and pretty busy week!

On Saturday we had three functions – it was Arjun’s big sister Jeeya’s first birthday! We had the children’s party in the afternoon and a family party to celebrate in the evening.

I can’t believe a year has already passed. I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday – I was heavily pregnant and just a few months from giving birth and it all felt so surreal at the time.  But now our little princess is a year old and turning in to a right little madam! It’s been remarkable to watch her journey – as there’s only a few months between Arjun and Jeeya, it’s been amazing to see Jeeya reach a milestone and then watch Arjun mimic it a few months later when he plays catch up.  I’m so glad he’s blessed with lots of baby cousins to grow up with.  Watching Jeeya and Arjun interact from when they were so little to now has been fascinating. They are so cute together!  My cousin put together a beautiful montage of Jeeya’s first year – it was such a nice reflection of the past year and how much (and how quick!) she’s grown and was definitely tear jerking!

Daddy’s Birthday – Gurdwara, Farm n Food!

Hello All,

Hope you’re keeping well!

Thursday marked Preetam’s 31st birthday! His first as a daddy so we had to make it special.  All he’d asked for was a family day and wasn’t too bothered about what we did as long as Arjun was happy. I could appreciate this as that’s exactly what I wanted for Mother’s Day – I wasn’t bothered about materialistic gifts – especially as we have the most precious gift ever now, I just wanted to spend quality time as a family as we don’t often get to. We decided to opt for something pretty chilled out and it turned out to be a really nice day.

Baby Brain Weekly Memoir … 10th April 2015

Hello all!

Hope you’re had a fabulous week and made the most of this stunning weather!

This week was quite relaxing and we managed to get in some outdoors fun too – though not as much as I’d hoped for!

Arjun had his first trip to the park this week with his Nanaji and Harv masi and I later joined them.  It was the park that my dad used to take us girls to when we were little so there must have been a moment of nostalgia for my dad.  Arjun loved being at the park and was so excited by all the children around him that were shrieking with excitement running from the swings to the slides to the climbing frame – soon that’ll be him!
