Splash Splash Taking A Bath

Tonight we tested out your new bath seat-it meant you could have your first bath together which Isabelle found very amusing!


  I also had some exciting news this week-I’m going to start working for Waitrose when a new store opens in a few weeks time! There’s  going to be lots of change!

Four Generations

We went to celebrate Daddy’s Birthday at Nana’s house today. We took some photos of the four generations on the Brown/Bruce side of the family. We were also celebrating my new job-instead of going back to John Lewis when my maternity leave ends I’ll be joining Waitrose. There’s a new store opening up just down the road and I’m going to be the Operations manager there-exciting changes are ahead of us!

Mother’s Day 2016

Today was my first Mothers Day as Mummy to you both. We had a lovely day-it started when Isabelle brought me a card she’d made at school and some lovely smellies too. After Isabelle’s swimming class we went to see Grandma and then on to Nana’s house for lunch. You’re eating more food now and really enjoyed Grandads mash potatos and Nana’s apple crumble!  

  
 It was world book week this week and you were able to go to school dressed as a character from a book. You went as Titchy witch from your Titchy Witch books:

Rolly Polly Jessica

You’ve learnt a new trick-rolling! You can roll from your tummy to your back and is trying very hard to roll from your back to your tummy! I don’t think it’ll be long before you’re rolling around after Isabelle!

Jessica At 4 Months

You’ve turned four months old this week. You’re generally a very happy baby and still likes your sleep-you’ve slept right through the night twice so far and are good at falling asleep in the pushchair on the way to and from school. You’re finding your hands and likes anything that rattles and crunches. We think your teeth are hurting though because you gets very red cheeks and are very dribbly! Isabelle is loving being a big sister and still get excited to see you in the morning and to show you off to people.

Christmas 2015

We have had a lovely Christmas again this year-when you woke up on Christmas morning Santa had put a pink table in your room with a table lamp, coaster and a box of tissues on it. He’d also moved your stocking on to your table: 

 When you got downstairs you could see that Santa had ticked torch and clock off your list and that he had eaten his mince pie and drank his drink. There was only the tip of the carrot left where hungry Rudolph had munched the carrot you had left!

Breakfast With Santa

Today we went to Woodlands Garden Centre to see Santa before Christmas. To start off with Jessicca didn’t want to wake up:  

When we got there we saw lots of big lights and Christmas decorations:

     
    
 Then a naughty Elf found you! 

 you decorated a gingerbread biscuit while we waited for our breakfast: 

 After breakfast you had a dance with Daddy while Jessica had a nap: 

      
 THEN…you got to meet Santa and Jessica had her first cuddle with Santa!

    

  

 Afterwards we went to see Nana Brown and put her Christmas tree up for her-you and your sister lounged around on the sofa quite a bit though!

Jessica’s First Christmas Tree

We put our tree up this weekend and now the house is feeling all festive. You’ve had lots of advent calendars to open each morning-a train with chocolates in, a gift one from Nana, a playmobil one from mummy and daddy and a countdown one from Uncle Tim and Jo.

Gearing Up For Christmas

We have had a very busy weekend this weekend-yesterday we went to Bradgate park and played with Daddy’s friend Mark’s boys (Ethan and Alex) we saw lots of deer! Afterwards we went to see our friend Ali and James in their new house.  Today Aunty Cath, Nana and Grandad came over and you had lots of smiles for Grandad! We also spent time making some Christmas cards today using foot and finger prints! Isabelle is super excited as she has a new bed!
