Living Arrows - 3/52 - Beach Babe



I never tire of taking photos of Amelie. She always has the most inquisitive face, pulling an variety of expressions. Maybe because out of all our children she is the only one that will stay still enough for me to quickly snap. She is also so loud you can't miss her. I love this photo its my favourite of beach skys, they way the sky changes colour half way like some glorious ombre is by far the best you can see. It was so cold but so refreshing, makes getting home and having a cup of tea much more Worthwhile. 

This year I am being more intentional about taking photos with the big camera, my husband has trusted me with the cannon, although he has said he prefers it to his new camera. The joys of having a video producer for a husband always have the kit to hand. If I knew how to use most of it we would be some double act. One of my dreams is to do more photography I am unsure where that is going and which direction. I suppose we will see this coming year.

Snapshot Saturday - beach babe


One of my new year resolutions was to improve at photography, not just take pictures but actually know what I am doing. I love capturing photos, I love looking at them even more. I may even take photos of things that aren't just my children, we will see over the space of the year where I head. 

This photo was taken on the Canon 60d with a 30mm prime lens. That is so far all I know ( I may even have got the wrong lens but to be honest I can not be bothered to leave the warm sofa to check). 

We will join in with Snapshot Saturday you can too by clicking the little photo below too.

Ami you are THREE

My little Ami you are three today!!!

YES THREE 

It seems like yesterday I had to call Daddy to get him to come home to take me to the hospital. Apparently after I called the tried to put a TV on the wall and had to push him out the door. 

You have had a very fun and exciting year how ever quick it has been. You have been to France twice, camping and hanging out at festivals. You started nursery and we saw a completely different side to you at nursery. We heard reports of you being kind and caring to the other children and wanting to learn. 

You learned to use the toilet all on your own accord, and refused to wear nappies. 
You have made us laugh countless time with your boldness to ask anybody questions how ever random they are.
You have the most fabulous vocabulary and often amaze people at the clarity and understanding that you have. 

So here is some photos of the past year and some of the memorable moments from the past year as I sob at how quick it has gone. 


This was you at Lark in the Park Ramsgate last year. You loved the freedom of being able to do what you wanted. You loved to explore and even going on bouncy castles. 



This was from our family holiday to France with masses of relatives. You cherished this week and didn't stip going on about it for weeks after. A massive holiday with all your cousins you loved it. 


This is one of our after school  beach trips from when we lived in 
Westgate. 


You really do have the best smile and the ability to make the hardest of hearts smile. 


I took this photo when we moved house, finally from a two bedroom flat to  four bedroom house. You had your own bedroom and loved it. 


This is just one of you and Son Son I found knocking around on the hard drive. One of our days of not really doing much but feeling like we had.




This was a photo form one of our family shots. In the whole year you still event got to grips with Mummy taking a photo of you every month.  

''

You loved Christmas and really wanted a bike, you were so dissapointed with the balance bike you received and wanted a bike with pedals like Asti. You did get completely spoilt. 


You hair finally looked like it was growing, with it being so curly it seemed to look the same length for a long time. We do get complemented on your hair a lot which you either give a funny look or smile sweetly. Me and Daddy are still amazed that you have such curly hair when we don't! 


Just a photo I took on the bed one day, just a normal day at home. You loved to have a sandwich for lunch when at home and even though you do not eat it you don't like change of routine. You favourite dinner has always been pasta and you will each as much as we give you. 


This photo was taken from a beach stroll one Sunday afternoon to broad stairs. We stopped of and had an ice cream before heading in the warm. 


This one and the next are both from Minnis bay, A place where we all have grown to love.



This was taken at Spring harvest, you enjoyed a week at what you called Butlins Harvest. Even though you were cross at out Nanny Ruth you did enjoy rolling round on your balance bike and causing trouble with your friend Noah. 


This was just a picture I caught of you at church doing some actions very sweet to watch. 


Another Sunday afternoon at Minnis Bay. 


We went camping at a festival called Big Church day out. Daddy was working at the event so we had the whole event to wander round and walk up steep hills. Such a good weekend with my friend Leanne and her children. 


You always were and still are a Daddys girl, ever since you started talking you have asked were he is non stop. The same is true today we get about a million questions a day where Daddy is. You need to know what time he is home the lot. 


Never one to smile at a photo when asked to, still Mummy is trying to learn how to make you smile in a photo. 


A day out with Son Son at Margate, you love the beach and love to build sand castles even decorate them. You even went crabbing for the first time this year and was scared of the crabs. You even tried to let them go as you were a little bit bored of how long it took to catch them. 


These are us on our holiday to France back in June. You love this holiday so much we went swimming every day you loved it. You and Son Son traveled round in this cool toddler truck in which you loved. 


Whilst in France we went to Disneyland too, where you saw Elsa and walked round all day. You fell asleep on Mummys shoulders at 11:30pm. It was a magical day and one we won't forget in a hurry. 


This was from the little beach on holiday it was such warm weather and other days rainy. You loved to explore the parks but the pool was where you wanted to be the most. 






As the weather got warmer we started to explore more beaches, I say explore we only visit the ones we love.


An evening at Margate beach with the family. 


You we to Wingham Wildlife park and loved a monkey with a Teddy. You loved it so much we had to stay there for 30 mins whilst it performed all sort of tricks for you. It was rather cute to watch. 



So here was just a few of the special moments from the last year, obviously there is so so many. I could go on and on. You Ami are such an awesome girl we are so PROUD to be your parents. 

We love you lots Ami bear.

Toddler High Street Fashion - Holiday Edition

I love children's clothes and much often would rather clothes for the kids love me any day. I also love it when I find a good bargain especially as my little monkeys are not the cleanest of children, another reason my hubby would tell me off big time if I spent too much. So with that I spend ages looking for clothes and love to find lasting items. Especially good quality clothes that will last a long time. So here is my little holiday fashion for toddlers.

Festival Babe


I brought this little dress for £2.99 from H&M and what good value. It has cute watermelons on with smily faces. Looks like it should have cost more than £3. Ami chose the wellies too it was a sunny day but would look great at a festival. 


Son Son the dude


I love boys clothes and you can not beat a good T shirt short combo. I brought this little T-shirt that says Daddy is my superhero, I loved it so much I got a bigger one for Ami so it can also be passed down in a few years too. 


Beach Chick



A very popular T-shirt this one, seen a lot of other children on instagram with the same t-shirt on. I love it who doesn't love cameras. She also chose her shorts too which were a right bargain at £3.00 for two pairs, perfect to stick in the bag when at the beach.

Short Love


A sad fact I love these shorts, I buy the two pack every year and have done for the last 8 years. They go with everything and last well, if you get them big enough they will last 2 summers. Also Can not beat a good polo shirt. 


So heres a few little outfits my little toddlers have been wearing lately. They are more fashionable than me!

Funny Toddler Chat 31 months


Ami does not stop talking nowadays and she is rather funny. Here is a few of her little chats I can remember. 

Mummy: We have got to talk Asti to school and then we will get a cake
Ami: Why?
Mummy: Because Daddy is working away
Ami: I am going to get a cone ice cream cake.
Daddy: Ami doesnt like cakes 
Ami: I do Daddy, 
A little while later
Ami: Daddy don't be mean to me any more about cakes

Talking to a random lady on a bench
Ami: Its my birthday tomorrow
Lady: Oh really
Ami: Im having a party, Noahs coming and Ruby but no grown ups
Lady: How old are you going to be
Ami: Im going to be 2 
Lady: Ok dear
Somehow some people do not enjoy being bombarded by a toddler.

Mummy: We have to leave to get Asti from School soon.
Ami: I can't wait to see my little brother Asti
Mummy: No he is your big brother 
Ami: Ok my sister then 
Mummy: ok then Ami.
Ami: Why is Asti my big brother?

Mummy; Ami why did you get Astis Monopoly of the table?
Ami: It wasn't me is was Son Son
Mummy: Son Son can not reach it did you take it of the table?
Ami: Yes 
Mummy Thats naughty this is Astis game 
Ami: (crying) I do not have any board games

Daddy: Love you Ami
Ami: Love you Daddy
Daddy: How much?
Ami: I love you to the whole world.

Mummy: Ami what are you doing in your bedroom
Ami: I am not Ami I am a princess 
Mummy: Princess what are you doing?
Ami: Playing nursery with Son Son, he is in the baby room I am going to take him home. 

So this is a few of the little conversations I can remember, I must make more of an effort they soon grow up and its not as funny.
