Vouge, Vouge, Vouge

How time flies, apologies for the distinct lack of blogging over the past month, I haven't even thought of getting near a computer in the midst of countless mother and baby groups, moving house, planning husbands birthdays, and of course my strict beauty regime which consumes 5 hrs of every day. Now you know my secret.

I took Evie to our first Baby Massage Class this afternoon, complete with relaxing baby classical whale singing, I kid thee not. It was fantastic! Oils and everything. We both loved it and it worked because she promptly filled two nappies with her very own version of peanut butter and slept soundly for the rest of the afternoon. Who's a clever girl.

We then met Daddy and went for an ice-cream and a stroll along the beach...which Mummy accidently on purpose turned into a stroll past the shops and low and behold we saw that the local photography studio is holding a baby competition! What a surprise! Daddy needed absolutely NO persuasion and we're all going along next week for our "studio session". What a classic proud parents stunt. But just look at that little face, who could resist?!

Glorious Day

Wishing all of you a very Happy Easter! It's a beautiful sunny Sunday, the air has that fresh smell, my baby girl is asleep in my arms, and we're soon gonna crack open our Easter egg...what more could I want!?

It's been a fab weekend, see Steve's blog for the goings on. I'd totally forgotten that people get Good Friday and Bank Holidays off work so it was a lovely suprise to have Steve home! Having the Monday off makes it a shorter week too so its just great all round.

Evie and I went to Westwood Cross and Primark with Sarah and Faye on Thursday, cos it was half term Primark was rammed, quite an experience with a pram! We bouught Daddy a Tshirt and Evie a really cute skirt, she wasn't too impressed with Primark though and cried a lot. Westwood Cross was better and we found a pretty dress in Mothercare for Mummy to save up for, Uncle Ian and Beth are getting married in June! Evie's first wedding!

tis been a while...

Can't believe how quickly the past month has flown by, its April already! After us all having colds last week things have been back to normal and quite jolly round here. Evie and I had our usual shopping trip with Jo on Friday, then in the evening Evie went over to see Nathan, Harvey, and Ronnie with Daddy while Mummy went round Sarah's with Faye for a lovely girly time.

On Saturday we bundled over to Folkestone to have a little picnic and a walk along the coast, we looked for Dave the Dolphin but he didn't come out to play. I don't think Steve believes that he really exists! Don't worry Dave, he'll believe one day. In the evening we went to the church do at Rodney's where Evie showed a real talent for making lots of noise and getting people to pull really silly faces and make odd sounds to keep her happy. She's one tricksy baby.

Sunday was my Dad's birthday and he and Mum came round for the traditional Dad's birthday meal of roast New Zealand lamb. It was delish and he loved it. Followed by Scrabble and Mum getting the giggles over a teeny bit of Cointreau, it was a fun night.
