Mama Date

I've been reading The Five Love Languages of Children.  I'm not that far into it, and it says you can't recognize a primary love language in a child under 5, but I'm fairly certain that Ziva's primary love language (for now) is quality time.  She's become really good at independent play since Asher was born, but, oh how she loves to be played with.  The other day I took the time to do Hello Kitty puzzle with her (100 pieces!) and she kept coming over to me and kissing me.  She loves to be read to and play games.  A couple of her favorites are Hi Ho Cherry-O and Sequence for Kids!

We went on a special date last night.  Just the two of us.  The pictures aren't great quality (camera phone, dark room, moving people), but you can see the joy in her face, so I thought I'd share anyway. =]








She loved it.

Oh hey there!

Well.  I didn't mean to have such a blog hiatus.  It's been so long.  Firstly, if there is anyone who reads my blog and doesn't follow me on instagram or is my friend on facebook, you deserve this:

{6 days old, note the fuzz!}

For the last 2 months (yes, 2 months today!) we've been loving on our boy and getting used to this family of 4 thing.  My birth story is drafted up all discombobulated in a pink notebook.  And I hope that soon it will be here.  Organized.  With pictures.  =]

Secondly, during today's 2 month photo shoot, Z took some photos of me and Asher.  There was no prompting or directing.  So I thought it might be fun to share a little segment called;

"Real Life by Ziva"

{This is real life.  This is usually how/when I'm checking facebook & instagram.  Gotta love it!}

{THIS is real life!  Me holding Asher with a giant mess behind me.  He loves to be held.  I try to savor it and ignore the mess, but sometimes it gets to me.}

{This is our boy. 2 months new.}

I'm not making any promises, but I hope to be back in this space more often, and soon with Asher's story!
