A First Date...

I thought I'd share some photos of Sophie and her friend Caleb!

(Please excuse the awful photo, my pregnancy puffiness had not gone yet!)

Caleb is the 8 week old Son of my friend Kelly, who, you may remember I went to Egypt with back in May (click here to see the post!) when we were both unaware we were pregnant!
With just a week between our due dates we enjoyed sharing our pregnancies and making plans for fun activities when our babies arrived!
We were surprised when Caleb put in an early appearance at only 35 weeks.. Luckily he was a strong boy and despite being tiny he is growing well!
In this picture Sophie is 2 weeks and Caleb is 6 weeks, it makes us laugh that Sophie is bigger!

Judging from their matching poses they are sure to be great friends!

when they wake up of course!

Lots of Love

Happy Birthday..........

To my James!

The best Husband and Daddy Sophie and I could ever wish for!

We have lunch plans with James' parents today and we are off shopping for a very special birthday present on Sunday!

Lots of Love

Around The House - Part One

Before Sophie was born I may have mentioned improvements we were doing around the house (so much so you were probably all thoroughly bored!)

I thought as you all suffered the dull posts (or just lack of them!) that I would finally get on and share some pictures of the finished results with you!

Back in November I promised to share some photos of our new bedroom with you so it would seem appropriate that I start there
I only have one 'before' photo (sorry) I still like the pink, cream and brown that inspired Victoria and I to refer to it as the 'Neapolitan' room, but was also happy to have a change (and let James have some input!)


James wanted purple and although Its a colour I would usually be a bit scared of we decided to just go for it!
So 3 days and a professional decorator later.........

Voila!

We chose new accessories to complement the bold colours. I just love the curtains and the fabby chair! (a total bargain at £60 from TK Maxx!)
We are really pleased with the result!

What do you think?

Next week, the bathroom and the nursery!
Have a great weekeknd

Lots of Love

Sophie and Stanley......

It took me a while to work out what it was mesmerising Sophie as I changed her nappy in her room!
I giggled when I realised it was the CK Stanley bought from her by Auntie Victoria! She is clearly another fan!


I think Sophie will fit well into blogland!

Lots of Love
