Happy birthday to my baby!

Two years ago today, I gave birth to this bundle of joy!How time flies!I can't believe she's 2 now.
We started the day a little late today.Defne woke up at 3am and was wide awake.So we all got up and read books with her. Miffy and Maisy are her current favorites. We slept around 8 o'clock and woke up around 1.30pm.
Lately Defne has been like this,she goes to bed really late like 12 or 1am.(Even 2 at times)She then sleeps until noon and has a late nap which is not my ideal way of living but I hope it's just a phase.Anyway, back to the birthday with some photos:
Many thanks to my dear friend Pixie who has sent these for Defne:A colouring pad along with a crayon pouch that she made herself.It is lovely with a fabric which has turtles on it.Excellent!



Defne does not like cakes with icing.So I made these raw sweets for her.The light brown ones are maca balls (made with a peruvian maca root powderhence the name)and the dark brown ones are special sweeties, both recipes are from Raw Living.The dark brown ones are a mixture of pine nuts,macademias,carob powder,dates and agave nectar.Defne loves these :)



And finally our birthday present for our little one:A small play kitchen that suits our small flat.
As you see, the girl is a busy mama, cooking food and wearing her baby!

Happy Birthday Defne. I hope that you all had a lovely day. The play kitchen looks gorgeous (as does the play 'mama').

All the best with her sleep pattern too. I am sure that those odd hours are quite a challenge!
