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.

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!

I don’t know where she gets her healthy snack habits from but it’s not me!

Engrossed

January 30th, 2012

Annie’s imaginative play has come on in leaps and bounds this last month, she makes up elaborate stories with bits cobbled together from her vivid imagination, Peppa Pig, Star Wars, real life, Winnie the Pooh or Ben & Holly, the results are eclectic to say the least!…
 

Annie’s imaginative play has come on in leaps and bounds this last month, she makes up elaborate stories with bits cobbled together from her vivid imagination, Peppa Pig, Star Wars, real life, Winnie the Pooh or Ben & Holly, the results are eclectic to say the least!

She will play with her Peppa Pig toys for hours, lining them up, driving them to the park, putting them on the merry go round, then driving them home and letting them watch a bit of telly before putting them all to bed.



You will also see toys being put on the naughty mat if they do something wrong and this is possibly the funniest thing ever, watching her put on her stern voice, telling them off, putting them down and walking away before making them apologise for their various misdemeanours and giving them big cuddles. She is an ‘interesting’ view into how my parenting tactics are viewed by a toddler!
