I'm lucky for...




I'm lucky for.... 


I'm lucky for you waking me up at 7am pulling my hair and slapping my face because it means you want me to wake up so you can spend time with me. 
I'm lucky for the huge smile on your face when I do wake up because it means you're happy to see me. 
I'm lucky for the time I help you eat your breakfast as it means I am able to provide you with the food you need to grow. 
I'm lucky for needing to change your nappys because it means your tummy is working properly.
I'm lucky for when you squeal at me to play with you because it means you have toys that you're able to play with.
I'm lucky for having to change your outfits numerous times throughout the day because it means I can afford to put clothes on your back. 
I'm lucky for you crying when I wash your hair because it means we have running water and are able to keep clean. 
I'm lucky for the hours it takes me to get you to sleep because it means I get to cuddle you for a little bit longer.
I'm lucky for the wake up calls every hour in the night because I know you're still alive, healthy and missing me.
But most of all, I'm lucky that I'm your mummy.



7 Month Update



Erm excuse me whilst I go and cry!!! Yesterday marked the day that Olivia turned 7 months old and oh my Lord what an AMAZING month we've had. As well as moving into our new home last month, this month we've finally bought another car after not having one for nearly 6 months! This has meant lots of days out, lots of grandma cuddles and lots of screaming as apparently the car is just another wonderful place for temper tantrums!
I feel like Olivia has developed so much in the last month and I can't get over what a clever, funny little girl she is turning in to. This month Liv has completely mastered crawling. She is like a little spider child, I can't take my eyes off of her for more than 5 seconds without her zooming across the room. She can now also sit herself up, pull herself up onto her knees, pull herself to stand up, walk holding onto the sofa (and her toy pram!) (we haven't bought her a walker yet!), dance, wave and give proper kisses! I think I may just be feeding my child brain cells! She's an absolute daredevil and isn't scared to do anything! 
She eats pretty much everything too. She still loves her Organix finger food bits and her favourite food is cheese sandwiches. She also eats toast, fish fingers, meat, cucumber, grated cheese, yogurts and bananas whole! She's such a gannet and literally cries every time that I'm eating and she isn't. She's also tried cous cous a few times and loved it and had her first potato waffle and chip.
She's still booby feeding like a champ but now she likes to stand while she feeds during the day time and still wants feeding every hour at night time. I am completely exhausted every hour of every day due to lack of sleep but at least I'm burning calories with my eyes closed! 
Liv also has sprouted her first two teeth this month so we have purchased her first tooth brush and milkteeth tooth paste ready for when her teeth have come through properly!
Her hair is as wild as ever and is now planted in a pony tail most days as I literally cannot tame it!
She has also learnt to tell things off this month and will spend ages laying and shouting at labels on her toys (don't ask, she's weird and talks to labels).
Her personality has also come out a lot more this month and I'm starting to see how determined she really is! If she wants something she will not stop until she has it!
She still won't take a dummy, won't say mama and hates being left in a room by herself but all in all what another wonderful month we've had!

6-9 Month Clothes Haul



I've been asked to do a 6-9 month clothes haul to see what clothes Olivia's been bought for over the next few months so far so here it is! Even if it is very rushed as Liv decided to scream the place down as I got her clothes out! Please bare in mind that this is not all of her clothes but she has far too many to take pictures of. Also luckily for me most of her clothes for this age range were bought as gifts so although I know what shop they were bought from I don't know the prices... Enjoy!

Yes I am fully aware that nearly Liv's entire wardrobe is from H&M, I happen to have a very generous sister who works there!
