Introducing Eli to the beach for the very first time at @peachesandcreamdxb . He didnāt cry so I guess he enjoyed it? Mustāve been because I spent a lot of time at the beach when I was pregnant. šļø Canāt wait to take him swimming in 3 months time. š„¹

Our love hasnāt been an easy journey ā filled with challenges and adventures along the way. Who wouldāve thought that a childhood crush would lead us back to each other after all these years, and bless us with a wonderful little boy that will be born out of love? Happy anniversary, my love! Lots of love from your Pooh Bear and the honey.

Itās trueāmotherhood isnāt easy. Itās nothing like what you think you know⦠or what youāve read in books. Iād even say itās more challenging than any corporate job.
Does it sound hard? Yes, it is.
But what makes it worth it?
Itās the way you look at me so intently when I hug and feed youā¦
Itās that tiny smile you give in your sleep, the way you curl up in my arms like itās the only place you need to beā¦
Itās knowing I donāt have to be perfect to love youābecause I am you, and you are me.
Youāve changed our world, Eliāespecially mine.
It feels like Iām discovering a whole new meaning of what it is to love and be loved.
Happy 1st month, my love.
Mommy and Daddy love you so much. ā¤ļø

3 months of feeding solid food.
An exciting time. Successful feeding him on most days, and some ending up as table art or in the bin. But really glad he eats very well and isnāt a picky eater.
One thing I learned is that the mess is part of the process and that if he rejects a certain type of food, just keep putting it on his plate and eventually after 10-15 tries he will gobble it down. Thanks to all the reels from mums, doctorās advise and @solidstarts app. Also, I recommend to take a Pediatric First aid course from @kingsbabysteps so you donāt panic and educate yourself with the difference of gagging and choking.
A bit tiring to wake up early before work and to prep his meals but thankful for his nanny to help with the mess and preparation. Consistency and patience is key!
Happy 9 months son. Daddy and I love your little personality. ā¤ļø

Since Eli is still too young for the 7-hour tour of Bohol, we decided to visit @southfarmpanglao since he loves animals. His favorite part was feeding the parakeets! š¦
We were so glad we brought our @evenflobaby stroller and @ergobaby@ergobaby_middleeast carrierāit made getting around with Eli much easier. āļøš¶š»
Overall, it was a great experience. I loved the service, and how they preserved the natural design of a Philippine farm while keeping everything well-planned and very clean. š¤šļø

Never too late to celebrate Valentineās with my 2 favourite boys. ā¤ļøā¤ļø
Had a lot of things happening last week. It was emotionally and mentally draining. I wanted to have a nice first Valentineās Day as a family of 3, but unfortunately it didnāt go as planned.
Today, we celebrate it as how my husband and I will always celebrate any occasion, which is sand and sea, good music and fish in our bellies. @kokobayuae

38 wonderful years! āØ
My mum had asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday. All I wanted was to take Eli around London. He may not remember it but my wish was simple, to create memories more with him and my family. It was a little challenging as it was drizzling and quite chilly, so we had to put layers of clothing on him. As usual, he slept through most of it but luckily, was awake for the photos. ā¤ļø
Iāve realized that as you grow older and have become a mum, itās no longer important to have a party or even a cake. Itās the memories you create with family. āØ
