Week 32 (30th Mar - 5th Apr)

This week was very quiet. We ventured off to brixton and did a bit of shopping followed by a coffee just the two of us. 

The hat I didn't buy. Silly mama

New toy unsure whether it's a success

Relaxing morning in my pjs. Why do mornings stay so early??

Week 31 (23rd Mar - 29th Mar)

A quiet week for us as we are still getting through the end of the sickness bug.

On Sunday mum and I battled the household dust while Hal went clay pigeon shooting. Aydin was so well behaved entertaining himself while we worked around him.

This week aydin was practicing lots of sitting up time. :)


Morning chit chat


Lots of cuddling this week

Week 30 (16th Mar -22nd Mar)

Trip over and life resumed as normal here in our little flat. Aydin settled right back into it even though he has been a bit poorly. 

And to my absolute disbelieve my little one is now closer is 1yr than newborn. Somehow getting past that half way point really does speed things up. 

Nap success on our return from Florence. Phewwww

Baby boy is 7 months old!!

Man flu & baby cold. Germ filled house :(

Week 29 (9th Mar - 15th Mar)

So our first proper trip with the little chubby munchkin. His 1st and 2nd flight were a success I can now say he is a great little travel companion. We spent 4 days in Florence celebrating our 10yr anniversary as we had joked many many years earlier with a little one. I have to say at the time it seemed unbelievable and yet here we are with our bundle of joy. 

We took a very laid back approach to sightseeing and getting around as we felt our priority was a happy baby anything more was a bonus. So we planned our day around him and we were all pretty content. 

I have to say Florence is not particularly buggy friendly with the cobbled streets, narrow (like seriously narrow) pavements. Boboli gardens was no different, we saw what we could and enjoyed every moment as a little family of three. 

Being back to the place that really made me grow up (or so I felt as a young 19yr old) really did put in perceptive just how luck and blessed I have been and how even though I never feel my life is particularly exciting it has actually had many wonderful things to offer in these last 10 years.

If the next 10 have half as many blessings I will still have so much to be thankful for.

Look at how small he looks all alone in bed

Week 28 (2nd Mar - 8th Mar)

This week has been all about sleep. Aydin has been sleeping so well I am dreading a change back to bad nights. We have had nights of only one very brief wake up and one feed. Only down side is we are starting the day at 5am but that's a small price for easy nights.

Suddenly Aydin is looking even cuter minus sleep deprivation. :)


My tiny hoody

Finally finished Aydins blanket it only took about a year. :)
