Little Bears 1st Birthday

The time came to celebrate my youngest son's first birthday. Its a happy yet sad day, you spend to whole year wondering where the time has gone and wondering how your baby who you feel only yesterday was born is now one. I really can not believe how quickly the time has gone its just been snatched away from me and now I have a 1 year old. 

He had a lovely day we spent the morning when he woke opening his little presents, well we say he opened them Ami opened most of them but Little Bear did not mind he was just happy to play with the paper. Pants went of to school and we set up for a little tea party for all Little Bears little friends. The house was soon full of toddlers and cake. Spilt drinks, trodden in party rings all that jazz but Little Bear loved it all. 

Later on when they all went we got Pants from school and family came round and 2 of little Bears older cousins. They were with my three noisier than all the toddlers put together. Little Bear loved all his presents and loved the most the plastic colourful ones (we had got him wooden toys which he was not fussed with). We had cake and by this time it was bed time. A rather simple first birthday but busy all the same. Now my baby is one and I have a 8, 2 and 1 year old it sounds crazy in my head. I bet before I know it I will be writing 2 year old birthday story. 

Here are some photos of the day, not all great quality I am not good at getting photos when doing things! 

Little Bear you are 7 months

My baby boy you are now 7 months.

I want to hit pause to make sure I do not miss a moment of time.

This time so special, so full of new things 

new adventures, I do not want to miss a thing.

You have learnt to lunge forward from sitting,

you are trying desperately to crawl but getting nowhere

you end up lying on your front and full of frustration that you are not going anywhere.

You even learnt to roll over at long last. 

You have been confidantly sitting for a while so it was only a matter of 

time before you started to break free and try and move.

You love to stand and always laugh the whole time you are on your feet.

You love to be outside enjoying pulling grass or eating what ever is on the floor.

You also love seeing people, people often comment how happy you are when we are out.

You dont enjoy the beach, the sand is too much temptation and then you get cross when you cant eat it! Mummy is working on that.  

You adore your siblings, even Ami who spends most her time trying to pull you over. Trying to help you walk (bit scary) and also help you roll over.

You love her because she gives you her food. Especially a chip the other day which you snatched out of her hand and ate it so so quick (on daddys watch).

Pants also loves hanging out with you, mainly protecting you from Ami or watching you when mummy is busy. 

You eat really well and really love your food. you still have 4 bottles a day and sometimes drink them sometimes not. Your favorite food is pasta like your sister. You eat the same dinners as us and demolish them along with anything else given you. You wont eat baby food purees but love anything fruity. One time Ami had a mini picnic I came in the room you had made your way to where she was an ate all her lunch!

You hit a massive milestone this month and you fiannly slept from 7:30- 6 huzzah it is nicer not having to get up in the night. You have the most infectious laugh and love being thrown about. 

You are an amazing little lad and we all love you lots x

First Times - Swings

When it comes to your third baby its easy to say that you don't have the same enthusiasm in the firsts as say your first. Sometimes these firsts are missed on camera as you are busy with another child. I myself am a recipient of this there is hardly any photos of my but my two older sister there is tons. So with this I will try my hardest with little bear. I will try to document those firsts, try not forget, try not to let it be the same because he is special. He will never get the time the other two got, he will always be my youngest compared to his older sister who is just 15 months older.

The other day we were at the park which is getting more difficult as Little bear isnt allways pleased about staying in the pushchair, which is fine if Ami is happy doing one thing but wants to play football, play on the skatepark ramps or jump of the equipment (some would think she was 7 not 1!!).So i am constantly chasing her to try and keep her from harm. She spots the swings are free and heads over there both are free and I had nowhere to put Little bear and just plonked him in the swing. It was his first time quick must go and grab phone to take a photo. He loved it was so happy to be in the swing and sitting up. Ami was so chuffed too she really love him doing the things she does. So there we are Little bear has now been on the swings. Next skate ramp (jokes save that fir 6 months).

So here we are Little Bears first time on the swing.

ok he doesnt look happy here bad shot lol

My Living arrow this week is this little bundle of joy! Oh he is so so squishy I just want to go and give him a cuddle whilst looking at this photo. I didnt get round to editing it but I like it as it is, still getting to grips with using a 30mm lens!
