Dear Sareena,
You are 8 months old in these photos.
You are a happy, giggly, growly 8 month old with personality for days. You have a contagious laugh that gets everyone around you giggling. You’re the sweetest baby I know, and I’m not just saying that because I’m your mom. Admittedly, I am biased but I cannot believe I get to call you my daughter. You’re a perfect little human with an uncanny ability to make everything brighter. I am so glad I get the opportunity to play with you all day; everyday. This has got to be the most fun I’ve ever had and you’re helping me grow and learn a lot about myself too!
We’ve still been spending the majority of our time with the usual: socializing with your mommy and me pals, going to baby & me yoga, shopping at farmer’s markets, relaxing in nature, and snuggling and playing at home. We went to our first baby pool party together and you LOVED swimming with me in the pool. We were spinning, splashing and swirling around.
This was the time when we left you alone for the very first time. Your Azo, Aji & Aki watched over you for 2 hours while mommy and daddy went on their first date night out together. It broke my heart to see you so sad because you’ve never been separated from me and as everyone has seen (even still to this day at 15 months old as I write this) you hate being away from me. But you ended up having fun playing with everyone and Kiyaan! We came just in time to find you asleep in Azo’s arms. I’m so appreciative that you get to spend so much time with your grandparents, aunt and cousin brother! It’s important for you to be close to them and for you to see your mommy and daddy as romantic and in love as well! We want you to grow up seeing and knowing your parents love you and each other very much <3
You love Kiyaan so much! You simply adore him, kiss him, cuddle him and hold his hand any chance you get!
Enjoying bath time with your farm buddies!
So well mannered.
Drogo loved you so much and wanted to protect you at every moment. But he was very confused as to why you insisted on tugging his name tag. We worked on you being gentle and after a couple times you understood it wasn’t nice to do that 🙂
You always stop what you’re doing or get self conscious as soon as you know you’re being recorded. I swear you were giggling like a maniac earlier.
We love you forever and ever,
Mommy & Daddy
