Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa is already counting down to her daughter’s first birthday.
Sharing a goofy video of herself and her cute baby girl, she said she wasn’t ready for her daughter to start loving her back. She said her baby gives her hugs now, looks at her like she is the whole world, smiles at her, and pulls her lashes.
The proud mother said she is emotional over her daughter turning one, as she isn’t ready to say goodbye to the baby stage.
“I wasn’t ready for when she started loving me back.
All of the feels in the world.
My baby gives me hugs now,
She looks at me like I am the whole world,
She smiles at me, and it doesn’t matter what sort of day I’ve had,
She loves to pull at my lashes and laugh once I yell from the pain.
The true definition of “there is love at home”.
My baby will be turning 1 soon, and though I look forward to the toddler I get to meet, I am currently so emotional, I don’t want to say goodbye to the baby stage, but you gotta fly, baby,
You gotta fly”.
The media personality, while on vacation in London, promised to show her daughter the world.
In a previous post, Makinwa shared photos of herself and her mini-me twinning in London, describing her daughter as her best friend.
Toke shared a sweet video of the moment she reunited with her daughter, after weeks of filming a movie in South Africa. She said being away was hard, and she would come home crying and then pull herself together to be present at work.
Speaking on motherhood, she had revealed how it transformed her personality. She noted that, throughout this year, she had been indoors due to her pregnancy, which was unlike her, as she is usually an outdoor person.
Makinwa shared a photo of her mini-me carrying her teddy bear as she lamented that she had just become a mom, yet her daughter was trying to make her a grandma.
On Mother’s Day, Toke shared photos of herself and her daughter, noting that, because of her, she was receiving personalised Mother’s Day messages. Calling her daughter sweet names, Toke said her daughter brought her ease as she makes motherhood easy.
Also, on International Women’s Day, which coincided with her daughter’s 7-month birthday, Toke said she is raising a queen, and it’s her duty to hand her a crown.
The businesswoman responded to a netizen who accused her of being performative for only showing her daughter’s legs, arms, and back. Toke admonished the netizen to do what works for him. She said the long epistle over a child’s identity was bizarre.
