May Mays First Christening and Toddler Life


Last Sunday we had May Mays Christening which was so much fun and an absolute success. I haven’t been to a function like this before, not since I was a baby. May May had a really good time dancing and singing to the hymns in the church. But when the time came for the holy water to touch her, May May got a bit tearful, but we still managed to get it done. In that moment I couldn’t have been prouder, standing in front of all the witnesses and reading the declarations. It made me think about May Mays birth and how far we have come from then to now; having May May in my arms to seeing her welcomed into the house of God.

Once we had completed the service, the next event was the reception. As soon as the music started, May May couldn’t not wait to start dancing. She took over the dance floor and she didn’t even care. Everyone at the venue couldn’t take their eyes off May May and it was like she was in a bubble where it was just her and the music. May May has always been a musical child and can never resist a little jig, no matter what she is doing.  Of course, I had to get in on the act and all the guests had a wonderful time. May May was chatting away with the guests and she has this way of bringing joy wherever she goes.



Recently May May has started nursery as me and Mics have felt that she needs to be around other kids her age to help her development. I felt that this is the right time for her as well because of how advanced she has become and how social she is. When I dropped her off for her first day at nursery, May May was nervous and a bit shy, but as soon as she started to interact with the other children, she seemed to settle after that. She likes to play with building blocks and knocking it down right afterwards. I was nervous myself on the first day as well, worrying if she will interact or not with the other kids. I think the staff at the nursery are so friendly and kind, answering my questions and I felt more comfortable once they explained what they do.

May May has learnt to say “happy” and she is so playful these days and loves to give lots of cuddles. I love how affectionate she is, and she seems to have grown really close to me. She has become a daddy’s girl and it makes it all worth it when I see how excited she gets when I come home from work. Those are the moments I treasure because I want the best for her and to give her the best life I can.

The Joys of Mayarna

It's been a while since I last wrote a blog but I feel I've got too much to keep to myself. May-May is 18 months old and boy has she developed into a character! She is so full of joy and knows how to cut some serious shapes (making me look bad lol) with any music you can give her. The way she picks up things, responsds and answers in her own speech astounds me as I couldn't have imagined her learning so fast.  When we were on holiday in Benidorm, she would wave at anyone who passed and I think she made a few friends along the way with her quirky facial expressions. I can see how carefree she is and even at times goes into a full speech randomly. All the locals loved her and when we went it to shops they would give her treats like lollies and sweets.  I think for me, seeing May-May pick up all these new traits it lets me know that we are raising an amazing child who never stops surprising us. We have been trying to get her more used to walking and leaving ...

Almost A Year In

I havent blogged for a while as it has been such a busy few months. In that time I have seen May-May grow into such a cute and cheeky child with such a bubbly personality. She makes the best effort to try and stand and every chance she gets she is trying to balance herself to stand up straight. She laughs each time she falls and has learnt to stand up leaning against the sofa and is already make sounds as if she is speaking. May-May has also been trying to teach herself to walk and she has picked up walking with support quite rapidly. I'm amazed how dedicated she is to teach herself these skills. We bought her a jumperoo for xmas and she absolutely loves using it as it is helping to support her posture. I feel she will be walking without support very soon and I am so proud of her. After months of sleepless nights and commitment to giving her the best possible start in life, its moments like this that totally make parenting worth it. Next weekend May-May is going to be 1....
