Spring is here!

Easter basket ideas

Easter baskets are not a traditional British thing. Well at least I've never heard of them before over here but it's something traditional in the US and because we don't allow Mia to eat chocolate and sweets I thought this would be a nice way to give her a little something. Personally I think this is so much better than chocolate and it lasts longer!

 

Jelly shoes £3 Primark. I bought these for the summer for the beach or the paddling pool. 

Bubbles £1 poundland

Modelling clay £1 poundland

Giant chalks £1 poundland

Cardboard basket £1 poundland. I like this because after Easter I will use it to store her hair bands. 

Easter sticker book £1 poundland

My week in photos

New look

So I was getting a little bored with the grey and white look of my blog so I decided to brighten it up a little! My new banner I have made using a photograph Mia had taken when she did some online catalogue pictures. I love the photograph as it was when she was becoming confident standing and although you can't see in the photo those clothes were huge and pegged at the back and now they finally fit! 

I would like to try and group posts into pages like: pregnancy, Mia, food, home decor etc so any advice on how to do this would be much appreciated! I did try and follow some online instructions earlier but it didn't work :( 

Mia's 16 month update

Mia is now 16 months! How time flies! She is a completely confident walker now. This month we have started to do more outside in the garden and she loves it! I bought her a watering can and a little spade so she can help me to do the garden! I also bought a ball for outside which she is loving too! She is really

Into throwing things at the moment which for the most part is ok if it's a ball or something soft but sometimes she will throw instruments or other hard objects and I have to tell her no. She will cry now when I tell her no. I think this month she now realises that when I say no I'm not happy with something she is doing. 

She has had a rough month in terms of sickness. She had a sickness bug a few weeks ago which had her throwing up all night. She also has had a terrible heavy cold and cough which has lasted nearly 2 weeks now! 

She has a great new game where she loves pretending to talk on the phone. She will sit with her pretend phone for ages shouting down the phone with hand on hip! Haha! I wonder where she's picked that up from?!

She isn't saying any clear words yet. She says no although I don't think she knows what it means when she says it yet. She also says mumumum and dadadad. 

She is still in 6-9 month clothes although she will wear some 6-12 if they are dresses.
