Dear Ameli- Letter To A 20 Month Old
| June 5, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, On Mama's Mind |
Dear Ameli, The days go by so fast. I can’t believe so many things: We’ve been back in the UK for two months, you’re twenty months old, all but your nappies have changed from baby to little girl. Your development is out of this world. I’ve been taking little videos of you almost every day,…
Dear Ameli- Letter To A 19 Month Old
| May 12, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, On Mama's Mind |
Dear Ameli, My angel, I’m so sorry. This letter is a week late, and you’re 19 months and 1 week old already. It’s been so busy here that I’ve just not had the time to write to you. We’ve found somewhere to live, and although it’s been so lovely staying with Aunty Lindi and Uncle…
Dear Ameli- Letter To An 18 Month Old
| April 4, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, On Mama's Mind |
Dear Ameli Today I feel like a terrible mother. See, it’s the 1st of April, and tonight we fly back to England from South Africa. We’ve had six months where you’ve grown so attached to your Oupa and Nana, but mostly to your aunty Deshaine, and tonight we take you away from it all. For…
Dear Ameli – Letter To A Seventeen Month Old
| March 6, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, On Mama's Mind |
4 March 2011 Dear Ameli Believe it or not, I’ve just had to check my diary to see what all we’ve gotten up to this month. For a short month, it was definitely an intense one.
Dear Ameli- Letter To A Sixteen Month Old
| February 4, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, On Mama's Mind |
Dear Ameli Sixteen months, little girl. Sixteen months. We’ve had quite a hard month, really, and it’s been more about me than about you. I’ve been on this hormone treatment to try to sort things out in my very messed up hormones, and besides that I had a great case of food poisoning that knocked…
Things My Baby Taught Me About Me
| January 11, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, Motherhood, On Mama's Mind |
Dear Ameli, I know I don’t often write you letters on random days of the month, but usually gather up all the little things I want to say to you into your monthly letter. Today is different though, because today, I don’t want to tell you about you. I want, instead, to tell you about…
Dear Ameli– Letter to a 15 month old
| January 4, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, On Mama's Mind |
I know I say this often, little girl, but seriously, how much you can grow in one month just blows my mind. We have watched you, these last few weeks shed off the last of your ‘baby-ness’ and really take on the mantle of little girl. Daddy and I have both commented at times in…
Dear Ameli- Letter To A 14 Month Old
| December 4, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, On Mama's Mind |
Dear little girl, I never knew parenting would be like this. I knew people love their children, but I can’t say I ever really ‘got’ the way it is. That the little things that most of us take for granted – walking, talking, eating – can be such monumental occasions, and that I can experience…
Dear Ameli- Letter To A Thirteen Month Old
| November 4, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, On Mama's Mind |
Dearest little girl, Yes, that’s you. No longer a baby, but a full blown toddler, walking, (sort of) talking, toddler. My beautiful little girl. I don’t even know where to start. Our life hasn’t exactly been normal since your arrival, has it? We’ve not had the ‘normal’ first year with baby.
Dear Ameli- Letter to a One Year Old
| October 4, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, On Mama's Mind |
Dear Ameli Happy Birthday little girl! You are a year old! Last year, round about this time, we were waking up from our first sleep – you were nestled in the nook of my arm, where you slept comfortably for months. You had been in this world for less than four hours. My little miracle,…
Dear Ameli
Happy Birthday little girl! You are a year old! Last year, round about this time, we were waking up from our first sleep – you were nestled in the nook of my arm, where you slept comfortably for months. You had been in this world for less than four hours. My little miracle, my little baby. Brought in to this world in our kitchen, lifted out of water by my hands, held to my chest, nourished from my body. I am so proud of who you are.
