Wake up Mummy

Morning Handsome!

My morning have never been so good

7 weeks old

9lb 2oz

Loves the mornings, his cheeks being squished, shadows on the ceiling, his pram. 

Eyes are still navy blue, he has his feet inked for the first time for Oma &Opa, his hair is turning blonde, his legs are getting chubby, he kicks and wriggles for England AND Holland! (nothing has changed on that front!)

You Rock August!

One Month ~ Letter to August

Darling Boy,

Well this first Month of being a mummy to you has gone in a flash. I have enjoyed every second August. You have been a joyful bundle of scrummy baby-ness. Your chubby cheeks, long fingers, and big feet make my day, and keep me in awe of you. We created you, you camped out in my belly for a whole 9 month ( minus a day!) and now you are here, brightening our lives...I am still amazed by that fact.

Right now, as you sit frog like on my chest I remember the moment I found out we were having you. It was a beautiful July day, the day before was your Dads birthday and we had been to the seaside....I knew then on that beach, that you were in my belly, I felt i wasn't alone. I next day it was confirmed. I cried with pure joy and utter fear that I was having a baby. 

However I had nothing to fear...

You are perfect in every way. The fear has washed away, replaced by happiness and instinct. 

You bring us laughter with your milky smiles, rolling eyes and little noises. You have grown out of your new baby babygrows and at the last measurement you were 65 cm long...your Dutch ancestry is very apparent!

We can only get you to settle by swaddling you....you love touching your face....shadows on the ceiling...walking up and down the stairs with Daddy...the mobile above your cot...watching me stick my tongue out at you, i swear you try and copy me....and boy do you burp loudly!

Every one you have met has instantly fallen for your good looks, long eyelashes and button nose. However the jury is out as to who you look like....but your frown is all your Dads!

We love you little chap...make sure those sweet dream your having right now on my chest are big and happy ones 

Love, Mummy xxx

Happy Days

My heart skips a beat when I look at this photo...my gorgeous boys & their sweet dreams

Happiness fills my day....my boys rock my world.

My First Week...by August

This is Mummy looking very excited as she is off to the hospital as her waters have broken...can you see me looking all big in her belly??

The bag is packed...she didn't get to have the Hypno-birth she wanted because I am Pip the Pickle remember!!

How do I look...Shiny & New? I'm 7lb 6oz born at 3.15 on the 26th March 2012...oh and I'm an Aries!!

This is Daddy and me "bonding", really he is just looking at me with this proud, silly face like I'm the best thing EVER....I like him!

This is me after a blissful first bath, in my going home outfit....stripes are so in this year!

See how I'm rocking them in my car seat!

Swaddle?? only if my arms are free Daddy!

See that's 'the' look....He thinks I rock...even though I pee on him....!

Mummy is still taking these photos even though I'm not in her belly anymore...this is week 40 apparently!

Mummy and me posing....can you see my big hands? I'm thinking piano player, sculptor, or artist extraordinaire!! 

Great Grandma adored me...I loved her warm house.

First outing in this weird thing...I like it, it makes me sleepy and reminds me of somewhere I have been before...I cant remember for the life of me where though.

Mummy keeps flashing this thing in my face...she got my best side here and in these cute spots too!

I also met the family...Auntie Charlotte & Nana...they spoilt me rotten...I like them too.

In fact everyone has been so lovely, the house is full of cards and wonderful fluffy gifts...what more of a welcome could a boy want?

Thanks peeps

Love, dribbles and eyelash flutters,

August
