The Lakes, Lunches and Lurgy!

Had a hectic few weeks as usual. Aside from the baby groups, Henry went to Bents with his Auntie Becky, Nan and Gran and met Father Christmas! It's got me so excited for Christmas!

We were out for lunch A LOT at Billinge Garden Centre, Cedar Farm, The Drunken Duck and The Three Fishes. God knows how I am going to shift this jelly belly with all the food I am consuming!

Henry was also at the doctors after picking up hand, foot and mouth virus :-( It's the first time he has caught anything apart from a cold but he didn't seem ill and thankfully it didn't affect his eating and sleeping! 

Which reminds me, he was 6 months old exactly this week so we put him in his own room. Felt really sad about it because my baby is growing up!!

I also gave up breast feeding this week, another thing I feel sad about but I feel 6 months is definitely enough. So it's hello to normal bras again! Yay! 

 

Loving the preppy look

Went for a preppy look today. Need to get back to the USA where Abercrombie and Fitch stuff is waaaaaay cheaper than over here!

Nearly 6 months!

The wee man is nearly 6 months old and I can't believe how fast that time has gone. I keep saying every night once we've put Henry to bed that I'll write my blog and every night I forget because by the time I've cooked dinner, ate dinner, stacked the dishwasher, done the never ending laundry, put clothes away, etc. etc. I decide I want an early night! 

But I am going to start it up again. 

So what have we been doing in the last few months? 

Henry's social life is much better than mine what with 'baby sensory', 'rhyme time' and swimming every week. Add to that, afternoons with the grandparents and lunches out with friends we have a pretty hectic week! 

We managed to squeeze a holiday to Portugal in too...

and we've started weaning.... 

And I had a cheeky weekend away with the girls for Emma's hen do...

Halloween fancy dress fun!

Coordinating outfits!

Time flies!

 I can't believe how time flies! Henry is 9 weeks old already!

So, what have we been up to?
Since I last blogged we have got ourselves into a decent routine and have been out and about most days. Henry has had lots of play days with his friends...

Andrew and I have both had our birthdays and went out with friends (and babies) to the Church Green in Lymm.

Very nice and the weather was sooooo hot! Cute outfit?

Taking advantage of the hot weather at Sara and Rudi's bbq...

Back in the skinnies!

Finally I am able to fit into my fave pair of skinny jeans for a lunch date with a friend. 

Henry is now weighing in at 7lb 5oz and is much more alert! We are getting lots of smiles and a bit more sleep. He is settling from about 9/10 pm till 2am but then he is up every hour wanting feeding! I cannot wait for the day I get a full night of unbroken sleep!!

I've started giving him some tummy time on his play gym and he is already lifting up his neck. Clever boy!

Unfortunately he has developed a rash on his face and neck. Health visitor says it's nothing to worry about and has prescribed him some cream so fingers crossed it'll clear up soon!

Checking out his reflection....

Tummy time! 

Ready for a lunch date...
