Month: July 2014

July: a month of firsts

…a month of firsts, for us all…

My little banana face. Behold, the wonder that is a little boy who can demolish a banana in seven short seconds. And he’s not even one yet. #felix #bananababy #foodie #weaning #babyledweaning #fruity #bananas

There is something to be said for how brilliant a massive bunch of flowers can make you feel. The smell of lilies has always said ‘home’ to me. This epic vase came from @theflowerbx - and was a birthday present. It’s gigantic, but that means I’ve now got a reason to have big flowers all the time. It lives on the hall table, something I love that we have space for now. We gave up on the idea of having a proper dining room in place of having a massive hallway and it’s been the best decision we have ever made - so much space for wellies and buggies and wet coats and umbrellas and bags and bags of random baby paraphernalia, golf clubs, car seats, hammers, maps, shopping baskets, party decorations and four year old snail collections. It’s where literally everything we ever need lives - and I love it. #bigflowers #lilies #scentedlilies#homedecor #glassvase #halltable #bighallway #hall #babystuff #wheretokeepthebuggy

The daily torment of cat versus twins. Every day a new cosy spot in the sunshine, every day more tiny fingers grabbing for fistfuls of fur. The stand off continues. #catversustwins #twins #twinstagram #twinsofinstagram #twinboys #babybrothers #petsandchildren #petsofinstagram #catsofinstagram

Forgot how much FUN this age was. So much of the world to discover. So many new tricks. And, even though our games of “Where’s Monty gone?!” are rather endless, they never get boring #wheresmontygone #oneyearold #babyboy #boytwin #monty #happybaby #discoveringtheworld

Where did this happy, quirky, playful little munchkin come from? Maybe he has always been hiding here, hidden from view, just needing some extra support and reassurance. But recently - and certainly in part down to some proper hippy ‘craniosacral’ therapy - he seems to be so much happier, so much warmer, so much more confident, peaceful, happy, inquisitive. Alternative therapies aren’t for everyone, I get that, but the one thing I do find, is that universally they ask you to take some responsibility for your own health and state of mind. You can’t just get fixed by some magic pill or cure, you need to be involved too. And so we have worked TOGETHER on helping Felix feel more confident, and less unsure of himself. And I do, tentatively, feel like it is working.... #craniosacraltherapy #alternativetherapy #holistic #holistichealth #craniosacral #craniobaby #babyboy #twinboy #felix

It’s funny how it sometimes takes a photo to make you see things you didn’t see before. I never really thought that Monty looked like any of us, or that he bore any resemblance to his brother or sister. But then, I took this on our walk this afternoon, and I got the most bizarre surprise. Turns out big sister and littlest brother could also have been twins. Taken over three years apart, and excluding the additional - and considerable - wrinkles around my eyes - these two are veritable peas in a pod.... #twins #fraternaltwins #babyboy #twinboys #familyresemblance #peasinapod #likebrotherlikesister
