All about baby - Day 14 - 14 reasons why I love you

I am your Mum. 

I made you and carried you for nine months.

You are my first born, my baby, my son.

You are the love of my life, my pride and joy.

You are beautiful.

Your big smiles and cheeky grins.

Your gorgeous blue eyes that make my heart melt. 

Your giddy and funny personality.

Your fluffy blonde hair.

 When you smile at me when you have just woken up.

The comforting noses you make when you are in my arms. 

Your little hands and feet.

How you are the happiest in my arms. 

Your cute babbles and demanding yells.

Because you are you. 

All about baby - Day 13 - Valentines day

My little man preparing for our very first Valentines together. What more can a woman want? A cute baby and a box of chocolates. Oh and Nick of course! We've exchanged presents tonight because tomorrow won't be much fun as I have to take Noah for his second round of injections and then I am off to the dentist. Not very romantic. Hopefully we will spend the evening together all  cuddled up watching a film. That is my idea of romance. 

All about baby - Day 8 - Bath time

Splish splash Noah's taking a bath. He loves having a bath and kicks around like a crazy baby. I can't wait to eventually take him swimming as I am sure he will love that too. He isn't a fan of getting out the bath and getting dried though and usually screams the house down. Is there anything that smells nicer than a freshly bathed baby? I think not! 

All about baby - Day 7 - Black and white

I can't begin tell you how much I love this photo. I took it this Tuesday just after the health visitor came to visit. He was 12 weeks exactly and was just weighed at 13lb 12oz. She had just left and I propped him up on the sofa and he was being so cheeky, chatting and smiling away. This has to be one of my favourite pictures of Noah and that says something because I have more than 3,000 photo's of him and he's not even three months old yet! 

All about baby - Day 4 - Close up

Photoshoot - Noah 2 Months old

I have always been obsessed with taking photographs. Even as a child I used to buy disposable cameras and take photo's of anything and everything from tree's to my barbie dolls. I studied Photography at college gaining a National Diploma in Photographic Media and I have had a few jobs where Photography played a big role. A long the way I sort of forgot all about my DSLR. I kind of lost the passion for it. It was packed away at the back of my wardrobe and I began relying on my phone for quick snaps. Nick would always ask me why I don't just sell the camera and I always said I was keeping it for when we had children. Now that Noah is here I plan on doing DIY photoshoots here and there. I am kicking myself that I didn't do any newborn shots but I was living in a daze and now can fully concentrate on my old camera. It's like learning to ride a bike all over again. 

Noah is so used to having his photo taken now. He is only 2 months old and I have over 3,000 photographs of him. I don't want to miss a thing and pictures help me remember so much. Noah loves posing for the camera. Here are some pictures I took tonight-

Mummy's boy

Noah you are 11 weeks old today. The past 11 weeks have been a whirlwind and it's incredible to see how much you have changed in just a short space of time. 

You are such a Mummy's boy already and literally stare at me all the time. A habit I am sure you have picked up from me because I cannot take my eyes off you either. You are the love of my life and I'm so so proud of you.

My Baby Boy

He is finally here. The little fellow we have all been waiting for. 

Noah was born at 6:23am on Tuesday 12th November. Weighing 7lb 2oz. 

We were very surprised at the size of him as we were all expecting a big boy. He is like a little doll with dainty little features, a button nose and pouty lips. He only has a little bit of hair but what hair he does have is fluffy and blonde. I think he looks just like his Daddy but people have said he does have a look of me too. His eyes look really dark at the minute but could go either way as I have dark eyes and Nick has blue. He has a cracking set of long skinny legs on him. He is lovely.

Words can't describe the love you feel for your own child and I won't even try to. We are both absolutely besotted with him. I can't wait to see him grow and develop as the weeks, months and years go by. I am so proud of him. 

Natures Purest Review and Competition

As a soon to be Mum to be I am always looking to discover new companies that sell top quality baby products. After finding Natures Purest over on twitter I instantly fell in love with so many of their products. When they kindly offered to send me some items from their range to review I was very excited. 

Natures Purest are known for their 100% natural products most of which are organically grown, free from chemicals, dyes and pesticides and made from naturally coloured cotton. They are not only good for baby but good for the environment too!

Here are the items I received for the purpose of this review. 

Bear booties.
I have to say I am totally smitten with these bear booties. They arrived in an attractive presentation box all tied up with a little ribbon. The booties are so soft and are excellent quality. I can't wait for our son to be able to wear these. They look like they would be so comfortable and cosy for his little feet.

Hug me bear round rattle.
I have to say I am partial to a teddy bear so this bear rattle instantly appealed to me. It is presented on recycled card with an attractive ribbon. It would make an excellent gift to any baby or expectant mother. 

Pure Love Boy Bunny.
I think this could be one of the sweetest looking toys I have seen. He is so soft being made from 100% cotton with a 100% silk trim. You know when you see a baby carting around a favourite teddy or toy? Well I hope this is one our son will treasure. 

Natures Knits Hat and Mitts.
Again the quality has got to be mentioned. Our son is going to be a winter baby and already has a fair collection of hats ready for when he arrives but none match the quality of this matching knit set. I know they won't just keep him warm but cosy too!


As you can see I loved every product and Natures Purest were kind enough to send me a set to give away to you! That's right. You can win a set of everything I have pictured above. All you need to do is enter on the rafflecopter below.
