Finley smiling!

Our little man is smiling! It is gorgeous to see, this morning after feeding he looked up at me and smiled, it is so so lovely, Rosie hasn't seen him do it yet but when he does I just know she will be so excited that he is (slightly) interacting with her and not just lying there doing not very much at all. I think she thought he'd be a bit more interesting!!! I keep telling her that soon he will be able to play with her but not just yet!
chat soon, busy busy all the time with feeding, entertaining Rosie and putting these little rascals to bed!

3 weeks old today!

My gorgeous little man and my beautiful little angel girl, they are still getting on well. Rosie is calming down loads but is still having the odd tantrum, bless her. It is all a lot to take in. I have my mum here till Sun, I am actually very nervous about how I will cope without her help but I guess it will all just fall into place and we will get into a bit of a routine soon enough!

Rosie helping me clean, she is my little helper...
Finley is now having one bottle of milk at 7pm ish to give me a bit of a break and some nice bonding time for Tim. He has taken to it well and is gulping 4oz each evening, my little greedy boy! Having him weighed tomorrow, last week he was 10lbs 7oz.
Rosie feeding her dolly, couldn't remember if I'd added this one to the blog yet or not.
Ditto for Finley playing on his mat!
My little family, gorgeous all of them!

bye, chat soon, xxx

Introducing Finley Alexander Smith!

So our little man finally arrived on monday 4th july, at 21.51pm, weighing 9lbs 13oz. Rosie getting used to him being around really quickly, she is an angel with him so far. I will write more when we get more time, it is a bit busy at the mo keeping rosie entertained and feeding a very hungry little boy!!



Tim took rosie to his works family fun day, she loved it, wish we could have gone too but it would have been a bit too much walking round for me this early on.



He got weighed 5 days old and had only lost 4oz which is good, so he is now 9lbs 9oz - still a big weight!!
Rosie loves role playing, she is constantly helping change Finley's nappy, and then changing her baby doll. Here she is feeding her baby doll after we'd all had our breakfast. She seems a very happy little girl at the moment, fingers crossed it will last a little bit before the jealousy kicks in... maybe it won't? who knows? we are trying very hard to involve her lots and give her lots of cuddles and attention and praise when she does good behaviour. Bless her! what a life changing thing at 2 years old having a new baby brother to share your mummy and daddy with!
chat soon, bye xx
