Purest heart

Tomorrow marks 4 years since we put in a frantic call to a friend to quickly come and look after Holly. Let's just say I had a quick labour (3 hours from the first niggle) and all our plans flew out the window as we raced to hospital!

Our beautiful baby boy was born. He is the sweetest, kindest, most loving boy I have ever met.

These were his parting words to me tonight before his Daddy put him to bed tonight, the night before he turns 4.

Me: honey what do you think you will get for your birthday tomorrow?

Harry: a lightening mcQueen electric toothbrush (it is the only thing he has asked for in 2 months for his bday!)

Did you get it mum?

Me: hmm (insert look of oh no I forgot!) 

Harry: don't worry Mummy, it's alright, I can just ask Santa for it for Xmas, it's really ok.

I had tears in my eyes, and felt like giving it to him there and then.

He is beautiful, he is perfect, he is our Harry xx

Greenday!

A week at our house

Lulu is 18 months!

No longer a little baby, lulu is such a little girl now! Where has the time gone? It feels like just yesterday this little creature was handed to me on the hospital bed and I fell in love all over again. She adds spark to our family and is so much fun right now .... Here's what she is up to ..

• She loves dress up and brings me costumes from the dress up box to help her put on all the time. At the moment a purple superhero cape is her favourite, she puts her arms out and zooms around the house.

• She has the cheesyist smile and is more than happy to flash it for the camera when I say smile. 

• She gets egged on so much by Holly and Harry, especially when they laugh at something she does.

• She is a real girly girl, she loves necklaces and beads and walks round the house with a handbag over her shoulders most days, she loves shoes and has started wanting to pick her shoes!

• She eats really well, especially at dinner time, she eats the same amount as the others but always finishes first, she loves broccoli but doesn't really like toast or sandwiches?

• her speech is slowly getting better, her comprehension is seriously amazing, she is very switched on. She has about 20-30 words in her vocab, however they are not all clear. 

• She loves music. She will always be the first to dance when the music goes on.

• She loves animals, especially dogs and birds, she is constantly pointing at birds.

• She is a real Mummy's girl, she would be happy to sit on my hip with her head on my shoulder for ages.

• She loves her night time books, her favourites right now are Hairy McClarey and the very cranky bear.

• She has no physical fear. Which is super scary for me. She will climb on anything and fly head first down slides! 

• She has had a terrible time teething over the past 8 months, she still has 2 eye teeth and one molar to come through.

• She sleeps very well during the day 12.30pm for 2-3 hours. Night time is still a bit hit and miss, but mostly due to teething we think.

• She loves to give us all kisses and is super affectionate.

• She is very independent, has to feed herself, has a mind of her own and likes to do things her way ... This little girl is going to give me a run for my money, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Love you baby girl xx
