Dear Babies

Dear Little Mr and Little Miss,

Recently we looked back at some pictures of you both at around the same age. 

We have always loved this picture of you Little Mr. It was taken on our honeymoon to the Dominican Republic. You were so relaxed as a baby and a joy to take anywhere, even the long haul flight was a diddle with you.

I remember buying this outfit as if it was yesterday, as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it even thought you hadn't even been born. It was was perfect for showing off your beautiful chunky baby legs. You were very strong and could lift our head up for some time by this point and you were even beginning to turn as if to roll over. We thought you might manage I whilst we were away with family but that didn't happen for a few more weeks.

We knew we had to dress little Miss in the same outfit to recreate the pose and reflect on fond memories. You look just as adorable as your big brother and have the same chunky baby legs. Simply gorgeous.

Everybody says that Little Mr looks like Daddy and Little Miss like Mummy but sometimes Mummy and  Daddy think you both look quite alike. Some of your expressions are exactly the same.

We are so lucky to have been blessed with two happy healthy babies.

Lots of love

Mummy & Daddy

Friday Night = Party Night

What better way to celebrate the start of the weekend than with a party. Now little Mr had been just perfect all day so we had a super treat. He loves baths, he loves music and he loves painting so I combined all three for a party bath. I had seen something similar on Pinterest before and decided to pinch the idea. We had a great time and it was so easy to do.

I mixed up some shaving foam paint, a definite favourite in our house at the moment. Little Mr loves the extra control he has over where the paint goes and they seem to be less messy than normal poster paint.

This is Little Mr special 'say cheese' face. 

We had loads of fun painting the shower door, the balloons and best of all our selves. The great thing about doing this in the bath is all the mess is contained and showered away after.

Little Miss had a special sink bath tonight. I think the bath party may have been sensory overload for her just yet but can't wait until she can join in too.

Fish Play

Inspired by our visit to the deep and Little Mr's current obsession with the Octonauts I created a small invitation to play. It's certainly not one of my best and was cobbled together very quickly but little Mr spent ages playing away.

I made a quick deep blue sea with blue water, a plant intended or our fish tank, some flower heads, a couple of sea creature we purchased yesterday on our visit to the deep and some glitter for extra sparkle.

I turns out today Little Mr was not a fan of the glitter so we had to refill and get rid of the sparkles. I think it was more to do with his Octonauts toys getting covered in glitter.

I also made cut out some fish and let Little Mr work his magic. He created a two beautiful pictures.
