She continued: ‘He’s just the best and it’s just a joy to create a tiny human and watch them grow and experience life for the first time. Watching his personality develop is the most incredible thing in the world, and I feel so lucky to be his mama.

‘Here’s some things about Alfie I love: That he’s always counting on his fingers. He loves numbers and can count up to 100. His favourite number is 91!

‘The way he says ‘hello’ and ‘gruffolo’ (gucky-lo). Those two words alone melt my heart.’

Ashley added: ‘The way he asks for a magic kiss every time he bumps himself. Sometimes he just pretends he has a “poorly eye” so he can have the magic kiss.

‘How excited he gets when his daddy walks into the room after leaving. How excited he gets to run through to our room and wake us up in the morning… Even when that’s at 3am.

‘His love of books and how excited he gets when we go to the library. I hope he always stays eager to learn.

‘The way he loves all his people – both his family, his childcare providers, and all the little people he’s become friends with.’

‘The way he says ‘baby’ and kisses my tummy every day. The way he always wants mama. I’m his safe place and his home. It makes me feel so proud and privileged and I hope I always hold that space in his heart.

‘It’s funny celebrating his 2nd birthday as I always presumed by now I’d have it all figured out. That he’d have slotted into place somehow… But I still feel like a new mum. Proud of the days I manage to juggle it all and make it all work. Still learning.

‘The last 12 months have just got better and better, and I can’t wait to watch him become a big brother.

‘Thank you to all of you guys for being on this crazy journey with me. Honestly you’ve gotten me through so many moments, and it’s such a joy to be able to show the highs and lows. Happy birthday Alfie.’
