Mummy & Me - May

Noah and I had quite a few photo's taken together this month as we've been on holiday and have posed for half a dozen! With that in mind I struggled picking one this month, so have selected a few of my favourites. I love the photo above because although Noah is totally ignoring the camera and has zero expression on his face, mine says it all - I adore him.

21st June - 27th June / Week 26

172

Sunday was Father's day, Nick's second one. It was a busy day! We woke and gave Nick his presents (A BBQ and a book) and then we headed over to the Christening and First Birthday Party of my friends baby. All go go go! We then popped over to my Mum's so Noah could spend a bit of time with her so Nick and I went bowling for an hour. Such a busy day, but a fun one! 

173

Monday saw both Nick and Noah coming down with my cold and flu symptoms so we all had a sick day together. 

174

Thankfully Noah felt so much better on the Tuesday so we had a lazy morning but then we went on a long walk and I took him to the park. I always think that getting out in the fresh air makes you feel so much better.

175

Wednesday morning brought us glorious weather so I contacted my friend and arranged a little play date. We decided to take the little ones on a walk and for a picnic in the park. We had such a great afternoon together as we usually do and I can't wait to do it again.

176

On Thursday my Mum decided to pay us a visit. When I knew she was almost here I sat Noah near the windowsill to look out for Nanna. When she appeared he started jumping up and down with excitement. He loves it when people come to visit. We went to the park, again! The weather was hit and miss but we didn't want that to stop us getting out and about. 

177

On Friday we decided we couldn't wait any longer to set foot on our new lawn (you are supposed to wait three weeks for it to knit together, it has been 2) we set up Noah's slide and as you can see by this photo he was absolutely ecstatic!

178

Saturday we had another very busy but very fun day! We started the afternoon off by Nick, Noah and I meeting up with his Nanny, Auntie, Uncle and Cousin. We had a meal at Brewers Fayre before going on a lovely long walk in the sun shine. It was a scorcher and thankfully Thomson park has a little paddling pool so we all took our shoes off and took a dip! We also went to the park and went on a little stream train. So much fun! 

We've had a busy busy week. Have you been up to much?

14th June - 20th June / Week 25

165
Sunday was spent as usual, a morning with Mummy and Daddy. Then my Mum came to take Noah out for lunch. This boy is always in such demand! Nick and I made the most of the freetime by doing DIY and a few jobs around the house.

166

Monday it was time for playgroup. We were half an hour late but we made it and we met up with friends too. Noah always has a blast when we are there and I really think it has helped with his confidence. A few months ago he would of cried if a stranger spoke to him and would literally cling to me. Nowadays he's fine and as soon as we arrive he runs off to play with the other children and parents. 

167

Starting him young! He's obsessed with the dishwasher!

168

On Wednesday it was Nick's 29th birthday! My Mum came round to visit us during the day and then when Nick came home from work I cooked up a big roast dinner to celebrate! Fab day. 

169

Thursday was the start of my cold and I felt absolutely dreadful. Noah's Nan actually offered to take him for the afternoon to give me a little break which I really needed. I think he had a ball while he was there. She said he was playing outside most of the day with the dogs, her Goddaughter and his Granddad. It was nice for him to have a little change of scenery too I think! 

170
Friday was such a miserable day. We ended up getting ready to go for a walk and it was cold and drizzly but we still went out. How is it that my toddler is wearing a winter hat and coat in June?!

171

Today, Saturday I feel like the world most rubbish Mum. I'm asbolutely smothered in a cold, aching and feel so sick. I've had limited contact with Noah because I really don't want him to catch it so Nick has been watching him most of the day. Naturally, this makes me feel guilty but I just really needed some time. I sat in the bathroom with the shower on hot just so the steam could clear my sinuses. I've had it a few days now so I'm hoping it's going to pass soon. Urgh.

Have you had a good week?

Sunday Nick and I had a little bit of time to ourselves while Noah was at his Nanna's. We did a little DIY and then went for a lovely walk around a lake that is local to us. How beautiful? 

159
Monday was a usual Monday. Noah slept in and we missed playgroup. This meant we had a lazy day playing puzzles, cuddling and reading books. 

160

Here is Noah blowing kisses to me on Tuesday morning. 

161
On Wednesday I met up with a friend and her son Emilio. There is only 10 weeks difference between them both, Noah being the younger one and it's lovely to see them together. We went for a stroll in the sun and has a picnic on the grass.

162
On Thursday I decided to take Noah on another super long walk in the sun and for a picnic in the park. When the weather is so nice it's almost a crime not to! On days like this I am so grateful that I am able to spend every day at home with Noah. I sat there on the bench with Noah and had a smile on my face. Bliss.

163
On Friday our soil and lawn arrived so we could start the work on our front garden. With all the renovating that we have been doing this had been the last on our list. Noah helped water the soil before we laid the grass and he loved helping out. The lawn is now down but we have to wait for three weeks for it to knit before we can step foot on it. 

164
Saturday is family outing day and we took Noah to a big nature park that is local to us. Nature parks are one of the benefits of living in Lancashire as there is always countryside and nature right on your door step. This particular park had a lake, boat rides, a play park and even a steam train. We didn't take any money with us so next time we go we will be taking a boat and train ride, both of which will be firsts for Noah!

Sunday Noah spent the afternoon with his Nanna, like usual. Nick and I decided to be super proactive and decided to put up the new furniture from IKEA, rearrange the whole of the downstairs and have a huge clear out. It took us most of the afternoon but we felt so good about it afterwards and to be honest it was quite enjoyable too. We are so proud of our home. 

152

We got up late and thought we wouldn't make it to playgroup in time but thankfully we did. They were holding the session in another room which was a bit of a surprise. It was so much bigger than the usual room and there was so much more for Noah to do. He loved splashing about in the water area, he relaxed in a play tent, crawled around in a huge cardboard box, played outside in the cars and sat at the table like a good boy at snack time. We both had lots of fun!  

153

Tuesday I wasn't feeling well at all. I felt lethargic and exhausted, I really thought I was coming down with something. Noah and I had a lazy day but made the most of the new reading and play corner we had put together for him. 

154
I love this family selfie. Nick actually fell asleep ha ha.

155

Thursday we went on a super long walk and visited the park. The sun actually decided to grace us with it's presence so I had to get Noah into his shorts. I've bought so much summer wear for him and he's hardly worn any yet. Here's hoping to some nicer weather in the next few weeks!

156

Friday afternoon Nick finishes work at lunch time and we always try to make the most of that free time. We decided to go and enjoy the fresh air and let Noah stretch his legs, he loves being outdoors.

157

Here is my very grumpy boy! We spend the day shopping and went on a 3 mile walk too. It looked like we were going to have a sunny day but as soon as we got out the sun disappeared but we didn't let that stop us! 

I can't believe we are almost half way through the year already! Where has this year gone?!

Sunglasses are perfect attire for the bath don't you know?! Noah spent the afternoon at his Nanna's while Nick and I spent the day doing chores and sorting the house. A usual Sunday for us! 

145
Bank Holiday Monday didn't bring us any sun but Nick was off work so that was great! We had a day at the park and Noah has a new found love for slides and really enjoyed going down on his belly!

146
My very kissy boy giving me a bit smoochy kiss after his afternoon nap! Nothing better than a kiss off your child. I'm enjoying them while I can!

147

I stumbled across this photo on my phone. How lovely is it?

148
I asked Noah to give Mickey a kiss and this is what I got. He is such a sweetie pie when he wants to be!

149
How gorgeous is Baby? We love our cats!

150

Saturday we decided to go to IKEA to buy some more things for the house. What seemed like a good idea at the time turned into a nightmare as Noah absolutely hated every second of it. He is usually great wherever we take him but he just wasn't in the mood. He has a cold, is teething and hasn't been sleeping well because of it so I think it was that more than anything. Next time Nick and I will go on our own and let him have fun with one of his Grandparents houses I think! We did manage to buy a lot of items for the house but also managed to not buy the majority of the things we actually went for! 

Mummy & Me - May

May has come and gone already, in the blink on an eye! It's been a funny old month. In May we are usually guaranteed at least two weeks of sun but the weather has been terrible most of the time here in the North. It's almost like we had our Summer in April? Anyway, less of the rambling.

This month I have had many photo's taken with Noah but this is my favourite. It was taken last weekend when we attended the Geronimo Festival. I love animals and long before I had Noah I knew I wanted my child to love, respect and care for animals just like we do. It's one of those values that I think every child should be taught and shown at a young age. Our hard work and persistence is certainly paying off as Noah is such a animal lover and is so thoughtful and gentle with them despite only being 18 months old. I think we have a young David Attenborough in the making!

137Sunday was my birthday and I turned 27. We spent the day together, just the three of us and then my Mum watched Noah so Nick and I could have a long overdue date night. We went to Pizza hut, to the arcades and then to the cinema. It was a great night and we definitely need to do it more often. 

138
A standard Monday for Noah and I. He slept in so we missed playgroup yet again. We need to find a class that doesn't start so early cause it's almost impossible for us to make it and I hate not taking him. 

139
Noah being silly on Tuesday. We had a lovely day with one another and went for a lovely stroll although it was a bit chilly.

140
My very cheeky and dribbly boy. He is currently cutting another two teeth and the drool has been relentless! 

141
Nothing better than being greeted by this beautiful face in a morning.

142
One way to keep the toddler contained whilst shopping. He actually loves being pushed around in a basket, crazy boy.

143
Saturday we attended Geronimo Festival and had the most amazing day! The weather was glorious and there were so many things for children of all ages to do. My favourite part of the day was handling a snake and showing Noah that there is nothing to be frightened of, they are such beautiful creatures. Noah on the other hand loved dancing in the Zumba class and then had a ball at Baby Ballet too! Such a little groover. We hope to attend next year too.
