Yesterday Baby turned 20 months old! We are crashing ever closer to her second birthday, which seems quite strange. So this month, I think if I had to pick one word to sum it up Baby’s 19th month, it would be challenging! If I was allowed another word, it would be attitude! So you might see where this is heading. I think …
Baby’s Fairy Tale
We were so absorbed in other things last week, that we didn’t think about our plans for Saturday, until the day was upon us. A quick Google search reminded us that there was a Fairy and Pixie party at our local Country Park. These are words that the mother of a girl loves to hear! Baby has a few tutus …
Like mother like daughter
I have been around horses (on and off) all my life, having started to ride when I was three. I don’t come from horsey family, but horses have played a huge part in my life. I sadly don’t ride anymore for various reasons, but mainly health ones. I really believe that riding and looking after animals in general, teaches children …
Finding ourselves on the beach
On Saturday we headed to the beach, we needed to get outside and soak up the sun. Mr Hubby had been away in France and needless to say, we had missed him a lot. We really enjoyed West Wittering the first time we took Baby there, so it got our vote again. I love the pretty beach huts and the …
Simple Days
Last Friday we were so lucky and woke up to glorious weather. Baby had Toddler Sense in her diary in the morning, but we had a free afternoon. We decided to make the most of the weather and eat our lunch outside. We don’t normally do this, but I took her playpen outside (so we could keep the dogs at …
Welsh Mountain Zoo – High On A Hill
Last week, when Baby and I were in Wales, we went to the Welsh Mountain Zoo. I know I should have guessed that things would be a little steep…. I mean the clue is in the name… but really, WOW! It was knackering pushing the buggy up those hills! Let’s just say we went up some of the hills VERY …
Baby is 15 months old today
Today Baby turns 15 months old and she is now a full blown toddler. This month has been a voyage of discovery for her, as she has well and truly found her feet! Her walking has gone from strength to strength and she has even done a few little runs. There seems nothing she loves more, than being on her …
Fairies, Dinosaurs and Sunny days – Wellington Country Park
Sunday was a glorious day, in terms of the weather and the fact that I was reunited with my amazing family (after being away at BritMums Live). Baby and Mr Hubby had been to Wellington Country Park on Saturday and I thought the photos looked great. They had only got round a fraction of the park, so we decided to …
Our perfect day
As we all know, yesterday was Father’s day. Baby and I had made Mr Hubby some lovely presents and we couldn’t wait to see his face when he opened them. Then, without any plans, we had the whole day to mooch about and see where the mood took us. Baby enjoyed helping Daddy open his presents. First up was the …
Getting to know you
There are lots of special things about being a Mummy. Watching your child experience things for the first time, observing their ‘first’s’, holding them while they sleep on you, hugging them when they cry. So many things that I adore. One of my main loves is watching Baby learn. She will do something and I know she is developing a …
Our ‘Cotswold Wildlife Park’ adventure
Yesterday the sun was shining and we were adamant that we wanted to make the best of it. After rifling through our collection of ‘days out’ leaflets, we decided on the Cotswold Wildlife Park, which is about an hour north of where we live. The first animals we came across were these amazing giant Tortoises. They were fabulous and seemed …
These boots are made for walking
Baby took her first couple of steps quite a few weeks ago now. Since then she has been building her confidence and taking a few steps here and there. Usually when she is in her play pen, once or twice a day she will try out her walking legs. Her record is four steps in a row. That was, until …
While you were sleeping
As I sit here, you are asleep on my chest. A feeling of total contentment washes over me. I feel your little heart beating against mine. The weight of your small body, heavy against me in your slumber. Your steady breathing a sign of your relaxation and a sound I could listen to eternally. Your beautiful, beautiful face, a picture …
Fun day with Mummy
Yesterday our play date cancelled as Baby’s little friend was not very well after her injections. It was such a lovely sunny day that Baby and I decided to head out anyway and make the most of the lovely weather. I quickly threw together a picnic for us (as I have been spending way too much recently in Cafe’s). Armed …
