Really sick for the first time

Last week our little baby was really sick for the first time. He had very high fever and spent some terrible sleepless nights (so did we).So the next morning we took him to the doctor. The diagnosis was acute pharyngitis so he had to take antibiotics for the first time. My poor baby. He practically spent all day sleeping in our arms. But you know how babies are, the next day he was almost like new.

Weekend life

Little Enzo's birthday party

Last Saturday we invited some friends at home to celebrate, again, Enzo's birthday to enjoy such a special moment for us. Wedecorated our small living room with handmade garlands and balloons and had some food for our guests. We also managed to have a live broadcast of the Barca-Madrid game, which is important particularly for the male sector... and we chatted, laughed, and enjoyed once again watching our little baby to blow, or at least he tried, his first birthday candle.

This special birthday cake was a gift from our friend L. It's inspired by an original watercolor of the illustrator Rita Sousa of CatitaIlustrations. I nearly fell out of excitement when I saw it. And I would add, it's important, that besides being the most beautiful cake I've ever seen it was really delicious.

Now I just have to say: Thank you friends, for sharing with us this special moment of joy.

 

Happy 1st Birthday little birdie

I can't belive...

I can't believe that only in a few days my baby is turning ONE. One year. My baby ... I think I'm not ready for this but I´m kinda exited and can't express clearly the kind of feeling I'm experiencing. It's a mix between absolute joy to see him happy and healthy growing everyday with me and deep sadness of how quickly the days go by being his mother. I think I need to reflect on this feeling and what it means to me. One year old, I can't believe it.
