13 MONTHS OLD


No longer a baby, Jarvis has leaped over into being a toddler with relish. He is such an adventurous soul. Always ready to explore and try new things. Jarvis wakes up and will give cuddles for about ten minutes, but then for the rest of the day he is always busy, always on the go.

Jarvis has an amazing sense of adventure, and very little fear. At the beach, on the weekend, Jarvis ran into the waves and then laughed when they knocked him about. Laughter and smiles also filled his face as he sat naked digging in the sand. 

I am such a stressful person; things 'get' to me, when I know they shouldn't. However Jarvis reminds me to just let go and relax into the moment with him. Jarvis makes me not to stress about the food on the floor, and up the walls, and well all over him. But, to stop and look at the joy on his face when he is introduced to new foods. Or even regular dishes that he loves.

“Get out of your head and get into your heart. Think less, feel more.” ~Osho

When he smiles and I see that huge smile, with those seven little teeth, my heart is filled with so much love.

  1. It is amazing how much a tiny person who is new at this whole game of life can teach us! I learn something new everyday.

    1. I thought I knew stuff because of my daughter who 20. But what I have learnt from Jarvis is each child is unique and has their own story to share.
