    Azlan’s First Birthday

    Sooo i cant believe I have a 1 year old already. Time flew by like you have no idea , seems like just yesterday when we brought him home after my ugly delivery at the hospital lol well I m happy to be alive and be able to see my munchkin grow. Azlan ended up having 3 birthday events. Once in Pakistan with his grandparents , then his cake smash shoot and then another birthday event here in Texas with his grand parents ( my side of the family ). We do want to send a special shout out to Azlan’s Aunty ( phupho ) for putting a lot of hard work & time into his birthday in Pakistan. I loved loved loved his cake , It was done by Cafe Nataliya – Redolence in Lahore & his cake smash photos were taken by Ahsan Saeed. MashAllah everything turned out really well. Below I am sharing some of his photographs , please remember him in your prayers.

    “Azlan meaning Lion hence the Lion on the cake “
