My little CEO-in-the-making, Ashafiya, turns ONE.
Twelve months ago, she made her grand entrance—and I haven’t had a full night’s sleep since. These days, she can even crawl in the dark, loosen up my clothes, and have a midnight milk feast all by herself. Independent woman in the making? Absolutely.
Ashafiya’s greatest hits this year include:
- Spitting out food like a fine dining critic
- Crawling at lightning speed toward forbidden zones
- Saying “mama,” “papa,” “baby,” and… babi 😂 with “nge-gas” tone
- Turning into a fire-breathing dragon every time we try to brush her teeth
- Biting her dad like a sleepy vampire every single time she wants to sleep—morning, noon, or night
- Instantly turning into the Incredible Hulk whenever I take something from her tiny hand
- Loving every second in the water—future Olympic swimmer vibes 💁♀️
- Walking like a little sweet penguin 🐧
- Always pointing at the sky when she hears birds chirping, like a little nature whisperer 🐦
- Deeply in love with mangoes. Eats well with mangoes
- Absolutely loves books—especially the taste of the pages 📚😅
This first year with Ashafiya has been everything—messy, magical, hilarious, exhausting, and full of heart. She’s taught us how to find joy in the tiniest moments, how to function with a baby attached to one leg, and how to love in a way we never imagined possible.
To my sweet, wild, book-eating, mango-loving baby girl: thank you for turning our world upside down in the best way. Watching you grow has been the greatest adventure, and we can’t wait to see what kind of mischief (and magic) Year Two brings.
Happy 1st birthday, Ashafiya. You are loved more than words can ever say. 💖
