Tommy's Naming Blessing

We had a wonderful day on Sunday with family and friends to celebrate Tommy's naming blessing. We're so grateful for so many making the journey to be there. Tommy got to be with all his cousins, all his aunties and uncles and all his grandparents. What a lucky boy!

The waistcoat he's wearing was made especially with material from my wedding dress.

Here are a few photos from the day.

Sorry for the next photo but couldn't help but share. I had worries before that Tommy would have an explosive nappy right as they were invited up for the blessing. Luckily that didn't happen, but it did happen just as we got home and it's the worst one he's had as far as how far it had leaked.

Tommy enjoyed some of the left over chilli and chocolate cake for dinner when we got home.

March Madness

It's been an eventful couple of weeks for our boy Tommy. We took him to the zoo for the first time, he made friends with Bentley the dog, took him swimming for the first time, visited one of his great nans and learnt how to turn over from his back to his front. And to top it all off he turned 4 months this week. Where has the time gone!! I live all that he's learning, but don't want him to grow up too fast.


Trip to Colchester zoo. It was a beautiful warm day, perfect for a visit to the zoo.

Tommy's favourite part of the zoo, anything in water.

Our little cool dude ready for church.

Fist experience in a bumbo. He liked it for a short time until he realised he was meant to sit still, then nearly did a back flip out of it.

Making friends with Bentley Dog. Bentley was very protective of Tommy, but also got jealous when Tommy was getting the attention.

Tommy's first experience of swimming.There were a few tears, but all in all he did pretty well.

Tommy's luck enough to have 3 great grand parents alive and we got to visit one of them while we were south

Celebrating Ruth's baby shower and Daniel's birthday

We had a lovely weekend celebrating with Ruth for her baby shower. We had afternoon tea at Creams in Leeds, then back to Leah's house for fun and games. It was also Daniel's birthday so lots of the family got together on Sunday.
