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

Belgium Summer Trip

We took a trip to Belgium so we could have a holiday together just the 2 of us before our baby came along.

We took the ferry across to Dunkirk avoiding Calais because of all the problems they were having. The only problem on our way home was that all the people booked on ferries at Calais were redirected to Dunkirk. Luckily we got on our ferry, but left later than planned and it was a packed ferry!

We had a great time, but the hot weather did make it very difficult.

We stayed in a beautiful hotel which was an old converted farm building. The only downside was there was little to no air conditioning and it was a heat trap in our room.
