Bye bye February

February always goes by fast since it is a short month but I feel like this February REALLY went by quickly. My parents in law came for a visit from South Africa and they arrived on January 31 and left us yesterday. When we were planning their visit a whole month seemed like a good chunk of time. We planned so many things, and guess what? The month absolutely flew by. There are so many things we didn't get to do though of course we're very thankful for the time we did have and the stuff we did do. But it still wasn't enough! We are all missing "Granny" and "Grandpa" a lot.

As we say good bye to the month, I will share the ridiculously sweet moment I captured this morning when Aliya was sleeping and her nanny gently placed her in Luke's arms. Luke is having a lot of issues these days with tantrums, probably due to being 2 years old and to Aliya's arrival. But he is surprisingly very sweet and affectionate towards his sister, who he refers to as "baby girl". He cuddles her and kisses her head all the time. I hope this lasts!!

Aliya at 1 Month Old

February 10 was Aliya's 1 month birthday. 


I've alternated between thinking the month was the longest month in the history of time, and also feeling like the month just flew by. I am quite surprised at how difficult the sleep deprivation has been for me, given that this isn't the first time I've had to deal with it, but the sleepless nights have been really hard. I keep being reminded though, that this too shall pass. Hopefully in the next month Aliya will learn to sleep longer, and at night! 
(She's marvelous at day time sleeping!)

Happy one month birthday my little love!
