Jazz turned 14!

June 19th 2019

Oh gosh, it feels like I blinked and now here we are...

When I found out I was pregnant with Jazz, only 9 months after Ace came into world, I remember being worried that I wouldn't have enough love to give. To be honest, not that you can tell by our very first photo together, it took me a little while to truly bond with Jazz as I felt guilty for being away from Ace. I was soon to learn that I had an abundance of love for both of my boys. 

As I write this post I am feeling quite emotional and a bit lost for words (shock horror hey). How can I possibly begin to describe the overwhelming feeling of love and pride I feel for each of my boys.

But today is all about Jazz, all about my baby boy who is 14 today!

Our day started with morning snuggles...a moment that I am so blessed Ace captured. 

Ace was up as he was the first person Jazz went in and snuggled with...I am so envious of the bond they share, truly each others best mate. During our snuggle time, I asked Jazz if he felt any older? His reply was "No, but maybe I will at the end of the day". I love the way his mind works and his innocent honesty.

Then it was time for the usual tradition of walking into a decorated room with presents ready and waiting to be ripped open with excitement.

The first gift Jazz opened was one he received from his Nan and Pop on the weekend. Hows this for timing though...as he was opening it, they called! Divine timing or what!

Next, he gifted Ace with a 'big brother' present and Ace gave him his 'little brother' one. 

Then it was onto the others (Nike Jumper, Xbox Game, Bluetooth speakers to name a few). We were a little sneaky and hid his new phone under some books. And, as payback for the ole wrap up his jocks as a gift for me on mothers day prank...inside his phone box was a pair of my undies hahaha!

Again, following tradition, after unwrapping gifts we get Maccas Hotcakes for breakfast.

The rest of the day the boys spent playing xbox, building lego and just enjoying each others company. Oh yeah, no school or work on birthdays in this house...it was simply a day of enjoying gifts.

Until...he got visits from school mates (Louis, James and Sunny) and went out for a bike ride.

In the evening Mapa and Glenn came over and we had Fish'n'Chips for dinner (the birthday boys choice). 

As Jazz got clothes from Mapa, in between courses Jazz gave us a little fashion show...very cute!

We also had a Freddo Ice cream cake (birthday boy got the most mini frogs...7 of them), and it was so special that Aunty Skeet and company, facetimed and got to be a part of the singing and hoorays.

All in all whilst not going out and about (we will be going to the movies on Saturday), it has been a wonderful day.

Thank you to everyone who visited, text, called, posted on social media and facetimed my little man today. It means heaps as him feeling special, makes me feel very happy.

Oh...tonight as we were tucking him in, Mark commended our boy on his graciousness. We left his phone till the last gift, and also didn't get him a Nike cap as I knew his Dad was getting it, but not once did he get disappointed or ungrateful...he was just thankful for what he had received. What an amazing kid he is, one with a smile that could melt even the coldest of hearts.

THAT SMILE...Infectious ain't it!

I love you my baby boy, intergalactic amounts times by infinity.
