Sunday walk in the sun

These pictures are from last Sunday when, after a rainy week, the sun finally came out. So, how couldn't be otherwise,we took decided to take a walk outside and breathe some fresh air. We really had a good time. It´s very necessary for us and I'm super happy to can say that our little baby Enzo loves to walk with us in his stroller which couldn't make me happier!

Proud of my boys

Life is getting better every day around here. (Fingers crossed) After the first days of stress and burden we're now in a time of relative calm where every day is better than the last. I feel very comfortable with this feeling. Our little guy gets better every day and little by little we all  are getting used to our new life together ... it's so sweet and exciting. Just yesterday we were all three together, quietly, on the couch watching an episode of "Homeland" (impossible to imagine this a couple of weeks ago) ... you cannot imagine how I enjoyed every little detail, every achievement ... every day is new and gets better.

 

So today I want everyone to know how proud I'm of my boys, my little family ... you're a dream come true. I can’t thank you both enough for becoming the happiest person in the world ... because with each of your kisses, your hugs I'm more closer to heaven.

 

ONE MONTH OLD

The 21st was Enzo's 1 month. I know, a bit late, but I couldn't to do this on time (I`m a new mum and lately the days literally fly by here). So, right now, he's tecnically 5 weeks and this photo is from a couple of days...but what really matters is that Enzo is well and while raising a baby is not always easy, each day he continues to do something new to make us smile and laugh.

Currently his likes are: eating, eating and eating...bath time, diapering and sleeping in mom's lap.

Dislikes: Sleeping in his bassinet during the day, waiting a few seconds while heating the feeding bottle and getting dressed (not always, only when mom takes too long)

The truth is that Enzo is a real cry-baby and with a "nervous" character but it's my baby, our baby and what we love most in this world.

Learning to be a mom

When on the early morning of October 21st we left home, Vic and I knew that nothing would never be the same again... when we returned home there would be three of us... and from that moment our lives would change in a radical way ... 

Well, there we are ... daily adapting to this "radical change". And of course speaking of myself when I say that I took three weeks to learn how to be a mom ... 

Over these days we have been devoting ourselves heart and soul to know, care for and love our dearly baby and believe me, that often is not easy ... 

The first days are always complicated, when suddenly you have in front of you a creature so delicate and 100% dependent on you ... suddenly crop up so many doubts, insecurities ... Parents always want to do the best for our babies but sometimes it's so hard to know what he´s asking for with their tears ... it´s common to feel powerless before such situations ...

I suppose that at first everyone has the same concerns: still hungry? Any pain? Why is he crying? Be sick? ... 

But as I said before, there we are, getting to know each other and learning all about each other ... Better every day, every day more relaxed, more and more happy, more excited, more crazy of love for Enzo and truly, more and more in love ... 

Like I've said, it's not easy, there are many hard times, stressful, sometimes you don't know what to do and it´s easy to feel desperate but every look, every smile, every time you look at him, every time you kiss him, every time you smell him and feed him ... you´ll remember that it's worth it... 

I could not be more in love with my baby and proud of all that in a short time we built together, the three of us: daddy, mom and Enzo.

To be a grandma

Today I want to dedicate this post to my mother. Since October 21 she´s no longer just the best mother but also the best grandmother in the world. I want to dedicate it for all her love to us, her being careful, the diaper-changing  ... She's always willing to help us and she's willing to sacrifice herself every day to give us everything we need. Everything she does is with true love.

I know these last few weeks haven't been easy for her ... and maybe at some point at first she have felt sad not being with Enzo... all we imagined that this moment would be otherwise, but ... that's life ... 

I'm sure that from now on things will gradually improve and she can fully enjoy this new experience of being with her grandson, her expected grandson ... whom from the first time has stolen her heart ...

I just wish my little Enzo has the same luck that I've had and he can enjoy his grandmother so much as I did mine ... because the love of a grandmother is the most pure, the embrace of a grandmother is the sweetest ...

Welcome to your new exeprience: now and forever you are a grandma!
