Jumperoo Love

February 14th, 2012

Ez is at that awkward age where all he wants to do is stand up, unfortunately he is a bit of a lump and my arms give up way before his desire to be upright does! This is when the jumperoo comes into it’s own…
 

Ez is at that awkward age where all he wants to do is stand up, unfortunately he is a bit of a lump and my arms give up way before his desire to be upright does! This is when the jumperoo comes into it’s own. He’s just realised that he can jump up around but he’s still not quite old enough to be grabbing for the toys, you can plonk him down in there and he’ll keep himself occupied for ages, giving my poor arms time to recover.

The bonus of the jumperoo is that it wears him out and the super secret free gift from this? Sleeping babies in a jumperoo are one of the cutest sights ever!!

My Sunshine

February 9th, 2012

For the first 6 months of Annie’s life I only dressed her in babygrows because I wanted her to look like a little baby for as long as possible, but I’ve gone totally the other direction with Ezra. He only really wears his babygrows at night, and spends his days rocking out in trousers and tops like a dinky little gown-up! I really love dressing him up and finding cool clothes for him but have no idea why I’ve taken two totally opposing attitudes to dressing the kiddos…
 

For the first 6 months of Annie’s life I only dressed her in baby grows because I wanted her to look like a little baby for as long as possible, but I’ve gone totally the other direction with Ezra. He only really wears his baby grows at night, and spends his days rocking out in trousers and tops like a dinky little grown-up! I really love dressing him up and finding cool clothes for him but have no idea why I’ve taken two totally opposing attitudes to dressing the kiddos.

Baby boy clothes

Annie loves it when he wears anything with Star Wars characters on but my favourite is his t-shirt that says, ‘you are my sun shine’. I love the colours, the sentiment and the font, I’m going to be so sad when he finally outgrows it but I think I’ve already decided to frame it, so you can just see the quote, and put it on the wall in our room.

baby boy clothes

The red Hawaiian shirt is in honour of Jon who had a collection of ‘loud’ shirts when we first met, I’ve bought, and put aside, ‘interesting’ shirts for as Ez grows and it’ll be interesting to see if a predilection for loud shirts is genetic or not.

Snow!!!

February 7th, 2012

We’ve been waiting all winter for the snow to arrive and this past weekend it did, admittedly it was only a light dusting that barely covered the floor but it made Annie’s day…
 

We’ve been waiting all winter for the snow to arrive and this past weekend it did, admittedly it was only a light dusting that barely covered the floor but it made Annie’s day.

I loved watching the snow cover up all Annie’s toys and the garden, there’s something magical about seeing the world being replaced by a clean blanket of fresh snow, even if it’s only a teeny amount, knowing it’ll probably be the only snow you see for 12 months helps you make the most of it!

Annie was particularly excited about catching snowflakes on her tongue, a sight that was ever so cute to watch.
In the end Annie had to be bribed to come indoors with the promise of Ben and Holly and a snack, otherwise I think she may have stayed out there until the rain washed her beloved snow away!

Project 366 – January

February 3rd, 2012

I decided at the end of last year that I needed to take on a new photography project so I decided to do project 366, where you take photo every day for a year. To make it even more exciting, I decided to do two parallel projects…
 

I decided at the end of last year that I needed to take on a new photography project so I decided to do project 366, where you take photo every day for a year. To make it even more tricky exciting, I decided to do two parallel projects, one with Annie as the subject and one with Ez. I did a similar project for the first 365 days of Annie’s life and felt a bit bad that Ezra wasn’t getting the same treatment, trust me to pick a leap year though!

I am very happy, and slightly surprised, to declare that I made it through the first month successfully with no cheating and only a couple of days where my heart just wasn’t really in it.

I’m looking forward to having a whole year’s worth of photos, it’s fantastic to watch how a kiddo changes and grows over a year. My aim is to use the photos to make a coffee table book for each of them so they can see what they got up to in 2012.

Favourite Toy

February 1st, 2012

Annie loves watching Toy Story and has been asking for a Woody doll on and off for the last 12 months. Her requests increased in frequency because her friend Daniel has one that she steals every time we go round to their house. Jon surprised her last week by buying her one and it hasn’t left her side since…
 

Annie loves watching Toy Story and has been asking for a Woody doll on and off for the last 12 months. Her requests increased in frequency because her friend Daniel has one that she steals every time we go round to their house. Jon surprised her last week by buying her one and it hasn’t left her side since, it goes to bed with her, sits on the table while she eats and if she wants to play with a different toy she tucks Woody up, ‘in bed’ on the sofa.

It is a bit spooky though when you think Annie is fast asleep and over the ‘toddler monitor’ you hear Woody talking and laughing to himself – eek!
