Mummy & Baby

When people look for pictures, they always wait for the pictures of the baby. 

They see pictures of baby, baby with daddy, cousins, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles. 

Hardly ever do you see photo's of mummy & baby. 

I thought I would just put down the ones I have of me and little man.

           

           

          

The Christening,2-6-13

Last Sunday we had the Christening. The thing we've had to plan for a while now. We had so much to plan last year, so this year this was the first main event we had to plan and organise for; and without being big headed, it went so well. 
We had the hubby's grandparents down from Nottingham, to help us set up and get ready as well as come down for the day.
The week before it rained, we had a storm, we had the windiest weather, it was so cold I was intending on wearing a maxi dress so I wouldn't be too cold. 
Sunday 2nd June came, it was the warmest most beautiful day, the day we had hoped for. (I did change the dress!!)
Harry was so amazingly well behaved, he made everyone laugh in the Church as he thought it'd be a good time to start trying to talk to everyone, he tried to take the water off of his head, and at the end he tried to give the Christening candle back to the vicar. 
We had everyone back to our garden after, and it all went so well, nothing went wrong which was amazing. 
I don't think we've ever had that many people over in the year that we have lived here. 
The day was so perfect & we have just had the photo's back too...Have a look through :D 

Fathers Day Is Coming Up

For the mans first Fathers Day I wanted to make it more of a personal touch rather than just a plain mug or a shirt, as what I was wanting to buy for him. 

I was browsing through different ideas, and this idea caught my eye. 

I went to the littluns room, and found some coloured card we had got him ready for when he is older and ready for rainy days spent indoors. 

I also went to the shops and found a lovely sized small canvas and some crafty fun paint. (washable too).

It was so fun to make these bits for him, and now we have to wait 4 days to be able to give them to him to see if he likes it :D 

It was a lot harder than I thought it would have been, as they got torn, they got eaten, screwed up & thrown, but we got some cute final steps :D

 

 & this is the final result of the canvas with liluns handprint too :D

Change

Is anybody else afraid of Change?

For the past how ever many years, all my life has been about is change, change and a little bit more change. 

I used to be the youngest of the family, with an older sister, and older brother a mum and a dad. We used to go to school, come back home, do our homework, have dinner, watch tele and then go to bed.

That used to be everyday, and it was such a lovely routine. 

Since then, we have all moved our seperate ways. When I moved out, I went to the guys parents with him, and lived with him there. It was beautiful, no worries, everything done, and everything so different.  Then we moved to our first flat. We had no idea what we had, until it wasn't there and we had to fight for ourselves. A week after moving, we found out I was pregnant and then the change started for good. 

We moved into our house, we got ready for our son to be born. We planmed everything together. We spoke about everything. We worked everything out that needed to be worked out. 

Recently all I can think about is the baby growing up into a boy, having his life, and this is his childhood. I keep trying to forget this is our future changing, but it's the start of his childhood, the times that when he has a family that he'll be reminiscing. 

  

I used to be scared of change. It used to be the thing I would hate. The thing that I would try and do everything in my power to stop it. 

Not these days, I'm trying everything I possibly can to make this the best life I possibly can for Harry. 

Everyday something seems to go wrong, and it's an instinct to try and protect my baby son from getting hurt or affected with it. 

Is this a change that is there for ever now?! I think so. 

I used to be so scared, and now I seem to be doing it every day of my life. 

How times can change. it's amazing.
