i’ve decided, i’m no writer. and while i can talk and talk and talk about my beautiful Jasper, i don’t think i could keep up with the monthly newsletter anymore, so i’ll just post about him whenever i feel like, which is probably going to be more than monthly now 😛
my beautiful boy is 13 months old now, and truly (and i cannot stress this more) the light of our lives. i’ve always had this dream that motherhood would be an amazing experience, but being Jasper’s mum surpasses that dream, a million fold.
Jasper’s picking up so much at a fast rate (fast, to us) – he’s pointing out to things when we ask where they are (star, Mischa, clock, tv, computer, balloon, bed, book, water, duck, rocket, car, telephone ..) and is trying to say some words (‘bye’ comes out ‘dye’; ‘clock’ and ‘duck’ sound like ‘glock’ – ‘mama’, ‘dada’ and ‘mum mum’ which is his word for food, comes out ok!). I’ve been pointing to my belly and calling it ‘baby’ and I think he’s picking that up too … slowly.

i’ve been meaning to blog about Jasper’s amazing birthday cake. i was so excited for Jasper’s first birthday and wanted to get him a special cake to celebrate. since he ADORES cars (we have no idea where that started, but it’s been at least 4 months of ‘brmmmmmmmm’), i thought it would be fun to get him a car shaped cake.
i searched the net for a while but couldn’t find anything i loved.. i tried to make the cake myself and let’s just say there are no photos of that for a reason 😛 so i looked on the net once more and found Dollcakes by Celeste.
after an email to let her know what i was after, and a reply back – that was it! i put in the order and on the morning of Jasper’s party – Celeste arrived with the cake in hand and it was more than i could ask for!
if you are looking for a novelty cake, a character cake, doll cake, cup cakes, anything cake in Sydney, go straight to Celeste. i have no hesistation in recommending her 🙂

(i’ll scan her magnet in later)
this morning, after having some breakfast and playing with his cars, Jasper crawled up to me grouchy – obviously tired.
he tried to get to sleep on his back, flipped on his side and then onto his belly, he got up and tried again, flipped over, rolled around – none of those positions were comfy enough.
i thought maybe that he wasn’t tired afterall. so, defeated, he sat up next to me as i slouched on the couch, i put my arm around him and he rested his head on my chin. not one minute later do a hear a baby sized snore vibrating next to me … my baby just needed his mummy.
🙂
things like this make my whole life better. i’m so glad i get to experience it
