only a month left
being here in south africa is great and sad at the same time.
great because our families got to meet riley and he is LOVING
them. great because he can experience
the sun and the lovely outside lifestyle here.
great because all our aunts, uncles, cousins and grandma get to know this
sweet little boy of mine. great because
he got to meet his nieces and nephew.
great because he got to spend his first christmas here with the family.
and then sad because wayne isn’t here. sad because wayne is missing out on being
with riley everyday and seeing all the cute things he is doing. sad because we miss wayne so so much. sad because i have to start thinking about
going back to london in a month's time. sad because we are going to miss the
family so much when we are back in the UK.
riley has grown so much since being here, he even got a bit of a
tan.
while we've been here: he
started to sit on his own. he started
eating solids, firstly with cereal and then later with veggies &
fruit. he also started with finger
foods. he went swimming (the first time
in a very small pink pool). he went for
his first swimming lessons. experienced
christmas with the family. met santa -
and wasn't even scared. found his voice
and is starting to ‘talk’ more and more.
met the family. stayed such a
sweet natured & friendly little boy.
got to experience the ocean and beach (he loved the water and sand
between his toes). saw pets like cats
and dogs for the first time - and absolutely LOVE them. and even got baptist
here.
it is going to be so hard for us both when we have to leave here (in
a month’s time, to be exact). we will
miss the family, sun, outdoors and heat.
i think it will be hard for riley to get use to the cold again. the only thing i’m super excited about is seeing
my lovely husband again (for that we can’t wait!!).
