Where has it gone?

A lazy afternoon...

After a walk into town you fell asleep in the pram and unbeknown to me, until we got back home, your hat had slipped right down!

Paddling pool!

Due to the crazy temperatures we've been experiencing, I decided it was time to get you in a paddling pool. It took forever for mum and Phil to blow up and even longer to fill up with water, but it was worth it when it was finally ready. Except it was a little too chilly which you didn't like, however after a little acclimatising you were fine!

Luke was helping you to keep cool ;-)

Sunny Friday with Tasmin...

Today it was incredibly warm so we went over to see Hannah and Tasmin and played in the garden.

Then after lunch you both played inside where it was a little cooler.

Whilst we were here you crawled for the very first time!! It was only a small move of the leg and move of the arm (as the rice cakes were just that little too far out of reach!) and Hannah and I squealed which then made you cry!

I'm so proud of you baby boy!

Lunch with Auntie Becky...

Today we went for lunch with my friend Becca to John Lewis and you were as good as gold.

I bought you a boat to go in the bath and a bouncy dinosaur and Becca bought her son Marcus some pirate duplo.

Holding your bottle...

Today for the first time I lay you down on your back and gave you your bottle... and to my amazement you held it up!

Tatton Park...

Last Sunday was glorious, so you and I and Mum and Phil spent the afternoon at Tatton Park.

We wandered around the gardens and followed the art exhibition which was there. Afterwards we stopped by at the tea room before heading home. There was a mini fair there as well and I won a blue monkey for you haha.

A poorly baby...

Last week you came down with your first sickness bug and it was horrible!

It began Thursday evening but luckily you were better again by Monday. Everything we gave you to eat and drink was coming back. We were given some dioralyte for you and this seemed to help. Unfortunately this bug is going round and me and your Dad got it too!

Trying to escape...

This was the first time you were lifting yourself up against the side of the cot. You weren't getting very far though as you couldn't get your legs to do what you wanted, so you settled with your feet poking out.

Godfather x 1 proposal...

Today equipped with a cupcake I asked my brother Phil if he would like to be your Godfather.

Inside the card I wrote this small poem I made up:

'Please will you be there,
To help me learn and grow,
To show me right and wrong,
And to teach me all you know.'

Just have to wait to see what he says!
