Romper from Zara Mini ~ Flat Cap, Anchor Shorts & Trilby Hat from H&M Weight: Henry weighed 17lbs 15oz at his 7 month visit, which means I finally got him back up to the 50th percentile, hooray! Health: Healthy little bubba. I can’t quite believe we’ve managed seven months without so much as a cough or cold! Routine: Henry has naturally developed his own routine, so I now know when all…
Henry’s 6 Month Update
My baby boy is already 6 months old. Half a year! I can’t believe it. These past 6 months have absolutely flown by. It is truly incredible to see the tiny and vulnerable newborn we brought home blossom into a spirited little boy. Watching him learn and develop each day is such a gift, I feel so blessed to have him in our life. He has brought so much light and…
Bonnie Baby
Playsuit & Blanket – Bonnie Baby I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend. Matt, Henry and I headed down south to visit family and spent the long weekend taking walks in the sunshine and indulging in a few much needed lie-ins whilst Henry enjoyed some quality time with his granny and grandpa! Henry’s Easter gift this year came in the form of this cute little romper and rainbow blanket, courtesy of Bonnie Baby. With…
Baby Bedtime Routine
Every parent lives in hope for the day their baby sleeps through the night. When Henry’s silent reflux was at its worst, sleep was a battle. It would often take hours to rock him to sleep, he would wake continuously throughout the night, often just an hour after he’d fallen asleep, and all three of us were completely exhausted. We considered it a good night if Henry managed to sleep 3…
Henry’s Current Favourites
I’d like to keep a record of Henry’s favourite, to see how they change and develop as he gets older, and hopefully it might help some other mums in the process! Snuggle Bunny This adorable board book follows Snuggle Bunny as he gets ready for bedtime. The centre of each page is cut out to allow for the hand puppet to pop through, which Henry loves to watch and reach…
Henry’s 4 Month Update
As every parents says, I can’t believe how quickly time is passing. Our son is no longer a tiny little newborn, but a rapidly growing baby boy, exploring his new world and developing new skills alongside his blossoming personality. Every day is delight, holding new things in store and it is such a joy to watch him grow. – – – Reflux & CMPI After a terrible first three months,…
Baby’s First Christmas
Although it now seems like a distant memory, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to document Henry’s first Christmas here on my blog. During my childhood, the festive period was the most magical and enchanting time, so now that Matt and I have a little one, we thought it would be a good time to start some of our own Christmas traditions. Last Christmas we bought a beautiful white dove tree…
Four Weeks Old
Henry is four weeks old today. It seems like an eternity and a second ago simultaneously that I was wondering if the light cramps I’d been feeling were actually the start of labour and we were making the final checks of our hospital bags. It is amazing how much Henry has changed already. We look back at his photos from his first day with us and can’t believe how much…
Our Rainbow Baby
“A rainbow baby is a baby who is born after a parent loses a child. It is the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it does not mean the storm never happened or that we are not still dealing with its aftermath. It means that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness…
