Our Baby girl turns 2

having afternoon tea cupcakes on her birthday :)

It was just over a week ago on the 4th of Feb. that my baby girl turned the BIG 2.



I still remember the excitment when I took the pregnancy test and saw two fat lines, I remember her first little movements inside me, the moment when the sonographer told us that our baby was healthy and we were having a girl, the time we took to pick the perfect name, the first time I saw her, the first feed .....
we were plunged into a world of pink and I wouldn't go back.



It all seems like it happened just a moment ago, but since that time I have learn't so much, had wonderful moments, watched the milestones and loved every step of the way...

Dearest Thalia

 Mummy loves you so much baby girl.

I feel so blessed to have you as my daughter,

you teach me something new every day.

 I look forward to spending many more  precious moments in time with you.

Happy Birthday!



 "A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world.
she can jitter around, and stomp,
and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves
yet just when you open your mouth
she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes.
A girl is Innocence playing in the mud,
Beauty standing on its head,
and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot."

-- Alan Beck

Despite trying to explain to my husband, both when we found out we were having a little girl and when Thalia was born that there is a special "something" between a father and a daugther; he thought having a daughter would be much the same as having a son.....

just with the addition of Bling, hanbags, a possible shoe fettish, piggy tails, frills, angel hair, fairy costumes, dolls and all things girly :P

Although he loves both Declan and Thalia to bits, he now does agree after watching Thalia grow and having their special bond develop that I was quite right....there is a very special something between a daddy and his little girl, so much so that he now passes the message on to soon to be dad's expecting a girl and new daddy's of girls in his group of daddy friends :D

"Certain is it that there is no kind of affection

so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter.

In love to our wives there is desire;

to our sons, ambition;

 but to our daughters

there is something which there are no words to express"

-Author Unkown

There's something like a line of gold thread

running through a man's words when he talks to his daughter,

and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough

 for you to pick up in your hands

and weave into a cloth

that feels like love itself. ~John Gregory Brown

Mummy and Daddy love you to the moon and back baby girl!!!
