Mermaid Party

Today it was Isabelle’s Mermaid Party!

There were mermaid ‘shells’ to make (paper plates that were painted), mermaid biscuits decorated party food and mermaid shells to break in to to find pearls!

What a fantastic Christmas-you’re both growing up so quickly and it was fantastic to see you enjoying and understanding Christmas this year.

Up and running

You have gone from learning to crawl in the last three weeks to pulling yourself up and walking with the help of a trolley. You’re very pleased with yourself! You’ve also learnt to climb the stairs which you’re finding particularly amusing and you giggle while you’re doing it!

First Haircut

We’ve had a lovely day today. This morning we went along to a park where they had a big climbing tower for Isabelle. Afterwards we want in to town and met Nana, who bought you an ice cream. 

Finally we went and got you your first haircut! 

We nipped in to a toy shop too where we found a rocking horse for you and lots of books for Isabelle.

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:

First few days

As you would probably expect, people were super keen to meet you! We started with your grandparents and we also very quickly saw Nana Brown and Grandad Beanlands. Everybody has loved meeting you and Isabelle has been super excited that you were a girl – I think she’s got big plans for the pair of you.
