Holiday Time!

We headed down to Cornwall for a week with Wayne's mum. Jamie loved being carried around in his back carrier, and it was great for taking him down to the beach.

His Daddy taught him how to build sandcastles, and also gave him his first proper dunk in the sea...he looked a bit chilly afterwards.



The sea air seemed to agree with Jamie and he slept til past 7am most mornings...unheard of when we're at home!

Jamie's understanding is really coming along now...I'm just starting to realise how much he knows when I speak to him. If I say "would you like a drink?", he looks towards the taps. He's also getting really good at doing things like stacking rings and putting things into his shape-sorter. Maybe he'll be a builder when he grows up!


I've started taking him to a local children's centre on a Wednesday. There is a soft play room where he can practice his climbing, and also a sandpit, which he loves!

Happy Birthday Jamie!!! xxx

I can't believe my little boy is one today! The past year has flown by...it really does feel like no time at all since we brought him home from hospital. I've been feeling very emotional and nostalgic about what was happening this time last year. At 10.30pm, the time Jamie was born, Wayne and I sneaked into his room and had a look at him sleeping in his cot. I've been at work today so haven't been able to spend much time with him, but it's half term next week so I will make up for it then.

Happy Birthday Jamie xxx

From this...



...to this!

Party Time!

Jamie had his birthday party today! He had a lovely time with his friends, Charlotte and Maya. We bought far too much food but Jamie had a great time and got lots of nice presents. We were hoping for a warm, sunny day so people could sit out in the garden, but it poured with rain so everyone was squashed into the kitchen!

On the way to walking...

Jamie has been pulling himself up to standing for a couple of weeks now, and is getting more and more confident. He's not quite cruising yet but I don't think it will be long til he can move around holding onto things. His crawling is getting faster and faster - he loves to crawl away at lightning speed while we chase him :)

His 1st birthday is approaching fast and we are planning a little party for him. I can't believe how fast this year has gone!

Trip to the Farm Park

Jamie and I went to Cotswold Farm Park today, with a friend of mine and her baby. We had a lovely day. Jamie enjoyed the swings and the soft play area, and I loved seeing the newborn lambs :)

Clapping!

Jamie has learned to clap today :D He's been able to clap his feet together for ages, and can also clap our hands together if we hold him on our laps. But now he can clap himself, and is doing it all the time. Another proud mummy moment!
