Fun At Six Months

Akira reaching out for his owl & tiger danglers.

They say enjoy every moment because it goes by so fast. when I  first heard these words Akira Boy was a few days old. I just rolled my eyes. I was sleep deprived and exhausted. But it is SO true. Babies grow quickly in every way. They are sponge like in absorbing life; developing new skills everyday.

This is Akira playing with his mirasa danglers. The first few weeks he could just see the general shape, then color. At about two months of age he would stare with curiosity. Soon after trying to reach out, trying to tap & grasp hold these colorful animal heads.
Now we have this.

 Akira is energetic and curious. His world is about exploring textures, sounds and movement.

mirasa toys offer sensory stimulation with a gender neutral exotic color palette. It's so satisfying to see my boy grow with mirasa. Hope your special little one does too!

Names?

There are so many things I thought, I wouldn't do as a mom. Silly & numerous names is one.
How many different names do you have for your pumpkin(see what I mean)?

We don't even realize, at least, I didn't, until a few days ago that I rarely call my baby by just his name; 

AKIRA

Here's my list:

Akira boy, baby boy,

pumpkin, pumps, pumpy

sweet peas, cuddles, muffin, 

kiki(borrowed from his cousin Lara), kiki boy, akiki, 

thelonious, 

babawalla, baba,

raja, angel(not when he's crying though), 

loveee,

tajik(my husband's fav), 

mr. squeaky, squeaks, 

jaanu

....This is just what I can remember. 

Each day invites a new experience and with each one comes a new memory to lock with a magic key.

Akira Boy

And yes, how quickly they grow! My Akira Boy is now 4 months. We're enjoying him and he is loving mirasa!

Just a few days old here.
Snuggled in mirasa's softest organic cotton blanket

Exploring his mouth & fingers. At four months babies can hold onto
some of their toys. Oh yes, and everything goes into the mouth!

 Our toys are NOT designed for teething but are safe for playtime. 

Akira has started observing his new world- faces, toys hanging over his changing table... 

taking all he can with his two big eyes.

New Year. New Life. New Reality.

Happy New Year! 

Wishing all of you a fresh 2014. Cheers to new beginnings, health and happiness. 

My little Akira Boy has made life full. A new relationship to be shared and cherished. Being a mother brings me strength, inspiration and fulfilment. That being said; I loved being back with mirasa over the Holidays at The Downtown Holiday Market . How I missed all the fun of meeting old and new customers. Working and playing at once on market weekends. 

Being a mother is hard work. Perhaps the hardest job I've had so far. Do you moms agree? 

We impact this little Being from the day it arrives into the world. Nourish all his needs. Understand his cries, the only way he will communicate for months to come. Give up selflessly to ensure the comforts and needs of this special little one. Thinking not only of the moment but of the future- constantly and yet cherishing every minute because they grow up so quickly. It's rich because it's selfless. It's consuming because you are their no.1 person. It's priceless because the love is unconditional.

My Baby Akira will soon turn 4 months. He continues to teach me something new everyday. 

We'll be back at Eastern Market starting the first Sunday in February. 

Always available for you at mirasa design.

Cheers!
