A Year Of Being A Mum


It has been ages!

I can't deny the little man has grown into an expert at absorbing all of time, but it's wonderful, so I'm not complaining! 

:)

Can you believe fellow internet friends...
my son is one whole year old!



On the 24th November we celebrated our little boy's very first birthday 
and congratulated ourselves on being parents for a whole year.


It's quite something I think, when you think back over a whole year and realise what you've achieved and have it staring right back at you, burbling and trying to grab your nose.
It makes you step back a little bit and go "Woaw".

It really does seem quite surreal.
I remember posting to you all about a little bean growing in my tummy and now he's a person, a tiny little individual, living with us.

I know everyone says it, but "time really does fly". 
And god I wish I'd immortalised moments more. 
His little hands and feet are bigger, his cry is different, his hair is growing...

-

I'm hoping my next few posts will be a gradual look back over a year of discovering how to be a parent. A scrapbook celebrating all of our little adventures!
(I wanted to post as things were happening, but Finn's ability to take up every inch of spare time is staggering!)

Starting from the birth of my special little boy and taking you through the learning curves we went through and all of the wonderful little discoveries we made along the way.
It's been magical, emotional, soul destroying, and euphoric!
- and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us. 
(hopefully some more free time - or at least a magical method of gaining more!)

Here's to more awesome!

Planning A Baby Birthday Party


My little Sprog is 6 whole months.
I can't believe quite believe that he's half a year old. He's changed so much and the time has just wooshed by!
I know everyone says it, but getting that warning as to how quickly you little one will grow makes you really love all the little things.

I love his tiny, little baby feet
I love that he blows raspberries at me
and I secretly love that sometimes he cries at people he doesn't recognise but calms down when I hug him
(smug grin!)
:)


So, in the spirit of cherishing every single iddy biddy moment, I'm going to give my little time sponge a wonderful birthday party... that he will never remember, but I will never forget!
And with half a year zooming by so quickly, it doesn't hurt to brainstorm a few ideas.

So, birthday party, what do we need?
Decorations!





I love the idea of Finn having his own little birthday seat too, all decorated up and perfect for birthday photos.



And the birthday outfit has to be perfect!




I think his little outfit would have to be something funky that would look great in the photos, but he'd be comfy in... and will probably spill a thousand and one things on too.
Plus it'll be wintery time, so nice and snug.
:)

Little 'Thank You' bags for all of his little friends to take home





And the best bit...
The Cake!

This cake is just amazing! I am in total awe of people who make such adorable cakes.

If I can get one (or dare I say, make one!) my little rubber duck obsessed boy will have a rubber ducky cake!
hehe
:)

Lots of goodies, and half a year to get it all sorted!
I can't wait!
