She continued, “He’s just the best and it’s just such a joy to create a little human and watch them grow and experience life for the first time.” Seeing his personality develop is the most amazing thing in the world and I feel so lucky to be his mother.

“Here are a few things I like about Alfie: that he is always counting on his fingers. He loves numbers and can count to 100. His favorite number is 91!

“The way he says hello and Gruffolo (guky-lo). Those two words alone melt my heart.”

Ashley added: “The way he asks for a kiss every time he hits himself.” Sometimes he just pretends to have an “evil eye” so he can get the magic kiss.

“How excited he is when his father comes into the room after he leaves. How excited he is to run into our room and wake us up in the morning… Even if it’s 3am.

“His love for books and how excited he gets when we go to the library. I hope he is always eager to learn.

“The way he loves all his people — both his family, his daycare, and all the little people he’s friends with.”

“The way he says ‘baby’ and kisses my belly every day. Like he always wants mom. I am his safe place and home. I feel so proud and privileged and I hope to always keep this space in my heart.

“It’s funny celebrating his 2nd birthday because I always thought I had it all figured out. That it would have fit somehow… But I still feel like a new mom. Proud of the days when I manage to juggle everything and make it all work. I’m still learning.

“The last 12 months just got better and better and I can’t wait to see him become a big brother.

“Thank you all for being on this crazy journey with me. Honestly, you’ve helped me through so many moments and it’s so nice to be able to show the ups and downs. Happy birthday Alfie.”
