Dear Aviya, I am so grateful to have you as my second child. If you had been my first, Ameli would have been a huge shock to my system.
Letter To A One Year Old

Dear Aviya, Happy birthday my beautiful beautiful little girl. We celebrated your birthday the other day and it was just a lovely day. You are just such a treasure.
Dear Aviya – Letter To An 11 Month Old
| March 4, 2013 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Squidgy, Motherhood, On Mama's Mind |
My dear Aviya, It has been so many months since I last wrote to you, and I feel absolutely awful about that. You have changed so much since we arrived in Australia. You’ve gone from just pushing yourself up on your arms to walking properly, without assistance, and sadly, I’ve missed out writing about so…
Letter To An 8 Month Old – Dear Aviya
| November 15, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Squidgy, Moments To Remember, Motherhood |
My dearest Squidgeling, You are eight months old and a continued source of awesomeness and joy. When your sister was a baby I used to think she filled my quota of awe, amazement and wonderment. I worried that when you came along, it would all be old news. It turns out, however, that you are…
Dear Aviya: Letter To A Seven Month Old
| October 16, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Squidgy, On Mama's Mind |
My dear beautiful darling Aviya I feel utterly guilty when I think of how long I’ve left it between writing letters to you. There’s been so much change and development in you these last few months that I’m so sorry, but I’ll probably not encapsulate it all here. I have pictures of you though, my…
Remake Me
| August 30, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, Letters to Squidgy, Motherhood, On Mama's Mind |
I realise with surprise, at times, that I am a mother, and that I have a child. No longer a baby, but a girl, a daughter. Daughters. The word catches in my throat, and my heart drops into the pit of my stomach where it knots, making my head spin. Like a player at a roulette…
Dear Aviya – Letter To A Five Month Old
| August 16, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Squidgy, Milestone Moments, Moments To Remember, Motherhood, On Mama's Mind |
My darling Aviya You’re five months old today. Five months. Five months. I say the words out loud and I struggle to believe them. I write them down and they look wrong, feel wrong. Where has the time gone?! Have I held on to enough? Can I recall your scent? Will the memory of your…
Dear Aviya – Letter To A Four Month Old
| July 13, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Squidgy, Motherhood, On Mama's Mind |
Dear Aviya, I realised with horror this morning that you’re almost 4 months old now and I’ve not written you a letter in ages. People always said with my second child I wouldn’t do the same and I vowed they’d be wrong. I intend to keep that promise to myself, for you, and to keep…
Dear Aviya – Letter To A Two Month Old
| May 19, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Squidgy, Milestone Moments, Motherhood, On Mama's Mind |
Dear Aviya When life revolved around just us and Ameli and work, I thought time went by so fast. Now I have you and Ameli and work and well, there just aren’t two empty seconds next to each other in the day. I don’t think I’ve ever worked this hard in all my life. I…
Dear Aviya – Letter To A One Month Old
| April 13, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Squidgy, Motherhood, On Mama's Mind |
My dearest Aviya I’ve been staring at this page for days now, as I’ve been thinking about what to say, how to open my first letter to you as you, rather than as someone I was waiting to meet. I’ve been wondering how to begin to tell you about you, your entry to the world,…
My dearest Aviya
I’ve been staring at this page for days now, as I’ve been thinking about what to say, how to open my first letter to you as you, rather than as someone I was waiting to meet. I’ve been wondering how to begin to tell you about you, your entry to the world, your first few weeks in it, and what it’s done to me and to my life. (more…)
