above is a sparrow hawk who sat in our garden for ages! isn't he cute? i'm pleased our boys didn't see him!!!

here is your weekly dose of rosie photos.... enjoy!

below was after playing on her mat, i popped to the kitchen and when i got back i found her sound asleep -sweet!







ant and gareth came back up here for a few days, they leave this evening... :-(

rosie has loved playing with ant, they found a new game that rosie loved, she smiled lots at her auntie ant!






well we will update you again soon,

bye xxxx

p.s rosie is now 11lbs 13oz, over double her birth weight!

hello, sorry I've not written in a few days, we've been busy girls this week. Granny Sue and my godmother Diane are visiting us tomorrow so we've been getting sorted today. Plus we have been emptying out our kitchen ready for the new one arriving in August! wow our house will finally be complete... (although we have a lot to do on the kitchen before there will be any photos!)
These are the tiny booties my mum's friend Robbie knitted for Rosie, how gorgeous are they?!

Rosie looking a little unimpressed wanting her dinner and not wanting any more photos!







I tried adding a video but it won't let me.... ragh! will try again tomorrow, off to bed now (we are getting 8 hours in a row now so don't want to miss out on my precious hours of sleep. well done rosie! tonight will be the 5th night in a row if she does it again!)

bye xxx

Look at our little girl holding up her head!!! she did it 5 or 6 times yesterday so hopefully she will now just get more and more confident and stronger! i am so proud of her...

below, look at how alert she is, she is starting to interact more each day, and she is beginning to smile lots more, she enjoys playing in her chair and on her mats!
Her is our present from ant and gareth, a stunning vietnamese quilt for Rosie to play on or to put on her bed as a quilt when she's a little older, it is incredibly soft - rosie loves wiggling on it!
Tim's work friend gave us a travel cot which was very kind of him. Now we don't have to worry about carrying our moses basket up and down the stairs as she can nap in this during the day.
Or she just sleeps on her play mat...
look how big she is in her basket now? it won't be long before she has outgrown it and we will have to use her cot... I will be so sad to have her go in her own room but I guess i have to let her grow up! It is just happening so fast...
our friend's katie and her hubby Tim came to visit Rosie with their youngest daughter Phoebe, they loved cuddling Rosie - she was such a sleepy head so she enjoyed her cuddles too! Not fussing at all, she is so well behaved!

I just love taking photos, Katie says Rosie is the most photographed baby in the world, I was bad enough with our cats and now it's all Rosie, my poor baby boys haven't seen the flash of a camera in weeks... I must take some photos of them or they will be getting jealous. They are fine by the way, and getting used to sleeping in the kitchen at night and if I'm busy doing housework during the day, then tey come and sit with us when I am there to watch them at all times (they still want to sleep in her basket and now the travel cot looks like a new cat toy!!)

This outfit below is size 3-6 months!!!!!!!
I couldn't resist! how cute is her foot, I sometimes just want to gobble it up, I love kissing her tiny toes! They say to fiddle with their toes to help them learn that they are actually attached to their bodies! she hasn't realised yet.

sleepy Rosie says hello to you all!
got to scoot, dinner time for Rosie and then we have some new mummy and baby friends coming round for tea and cakes! We met two new mummy friends and their baby boy's Baxter and William at baby massage this week, it was weird because as we got chatting we realised that William's mum's husband works with Tim and she knew all about Rosie!!!! Strange connections!!!

We also did mother baby yoga too this week which was so much fun, Rosie really enjoyed it!

BYE xxxx

Rosie and her big blue eyes...

And below is a video of her trying to lift her head, she is getting better each day!

above tim was being naughty with rosie's old sleepsuit and einstein...! below spot the hidden cat amongst all the baby clothes rosie now is too big for!!!!!


still trying to catch rosie's smile, she is so pretty...
below is her sleep suit now next to her sleep suit that she wore when she was 2 weeks old!!! how has she grown so much i haven't noticed...

smiling at her daddy
chatting away in her new outfit... we had to buy her some new clothes as she has out grown most of the gifts we were given when she was born! incredible!!!

well we had a nice day today at tim's work family fun day, was fun to show off rosie! she was a very good girl and since coming home she has eaten and fallen asleep again, i hope this doesn't mean a sleepless night - we've had her sleeping from 9pm - 3am almost every night this week (except the nights she wanted feeding every 2 hours.... not funny!).

better scoot, hugs xxx
