We had such a lush morning on Sunday visiting our local pumpkin patch, (who knew this was suddenly a thing? and especially where I live.. nothing ever happens here!) I wanted to take Alfie just so we could take some nice photos for his memory book, I wasn't too fussed about the pumpkins which definitely makes me a blogger haha.
It was so windy when we arrived but Alfie absolutely loved it, we popped him on top of a few of the pumpkins which he seemed to find hilarious, and generally spent a good while trying to find the perfect one.
We found the perfect one, well nanny and granddad did!
Just look at Alfie's little face?!Our main aim was to choose our pumpkin and carve it together, and get a cute photo of Alfie sat in it. We took so many nice ones of him smiling away which are adorable, but my favourites have to be the ones where he's crying haha! I promise I'm not a bad mum, but they're just too cute not to share. I vlogged our whole week last week as we were super busy seeing friends and pumpkin picking, so make sure you have a watch of that over on my youtube channel, it's definitely my favourite vlog so far!
Where the bloody hell have the last 2 months gone?!
I genuinely don't know what I've been doing with my life for it to go so quickly!? Whats going on ahah! Im really sorry this post has taken me so long to do (if you care, lets be honest you probably don't) trying to do anything with a baby in the house that has now come to realise when I've left the room is pretty difficult, Alfie just wants attention all the time which, isn't actually a bad thing really, he's a baby so, everything's new to him. But it means anything I want to do for myself like write a blog post, dry my hair, eat, all takes a back seat. Ive mastered eating a meal with one hand free now.
Alfie is doing really well! He's certainly developed his own little personality which at 3 months old consists of giggling at thin air and crying when he's not being cuddled, but he's such a happy boy (most of the time) which is so lovely. He's sleeping really well still, we've been so SO lucky with that, he will generally sleep from around 10pm to 7-8am without waking up once, he's bloody amazing at sleeping through! He has been since he was born really, he even slept through the very first night we brought him home, he's literally a dream child. But yes, I am awaiting the mix up when he starts teething, although I'm not emotionally ready for the lack of sleep yet so, we'll continue NOT to think about that.
He rolled over twice last week from front to back which literally blew my mind, he's such a little baby so he doesn't look like he should be rolling anywhere yet.. but he does it so happily. He will lie on his front holding his head up watching the tele or looking up at the bright light from the window, and he will also stand holding his weight if you hold his hands. Where is my little boy going?! Im loving that he's changing and growing every day but at the same time, I don't want my baby to grow haha.
We've noticed he's starting to dribble a lot more now, he constantly has his fists in his mouth, so bibs will soon become our best friend and luckily, it feels like we have hundreds. Not an exaggeration at all, we have loads.
Tomorrow Alfie will be having his first lot of jabs which I'm not looking forward to at all, I've made Matt take the day off to come with me because I don't think id be able to hold Alfie when they do it, I'm sure he'll be fine but it's not nice seeing your child so worried/upset. It'll be a relief to get it out the way though!
Alfie loves;
- lights
- his peter rabbit teddy
- having his nappy changed
- splashing in the bath
- his sensory area
Alfie dislikes;
- being left alone for longer than a second (!)
- when mummy has to go for a wee, selfish mummy
- being held too much, he likes his space!
- having his arms pulled through jumpers, not sure why, but we need to stay warm love!
To keep more up to date with us and our family life, I upload weekly, sometimes every 2 weeks, over on our Youtube channel, it's super casual and you'll get a beautiful glimpse of me looking slightly worn out but, it'll be lovely for us to look back on in years to come. You can find all of our vlogs HERE.
Instagram is still my absolute favourite form of social media, so much so I'm basically on it all the time. Oopsie, not even sorry. Ive included a few of my recent posts, to share them with you and possibly explain each one, as I don't really put a caption on the old Insta.
Enjoy!
This was when I pretended I picked these myself, definitely didn't.
Favourite blush, I still haven't used this yet, it's far too pretty!
My favourite phone case I own, completely heart eyed over it!
Crazy that it's school leavers time already. I look after children of a nursery age, one little boy gave us this as a gift, and it's the nicest thing we've ever received. Cried my eyes out.
I got my nails done! I never ever treat myself to anything, so I thought it was about time!
I bought this bracelet for a friend, she's a Youtuber so I thought the camera was pretty relevant haha. We finally got around to seeing each other this month, and I bloody adore her! ps.. go and subscribe to her; Fabulous Hannah
My Kylie Lipkit FINALLY arrived, it felt like I waited a bloody life time. See previous post to hear all about my indifferent opinion on it; Kylie Lip Kit Review
