A-Z of the first 6 weeks

Bobby is 6 weeks old! It's flown by! He continues to change all the time but I haven't had a spare minute to blog recently so thought I'd sum up here our A-Z of the last few weeks:

A is for Annie - A beautiful 2 week old baby who is the first Baby Girl Bobby has ever met!  He slept through the whole of their rendezvous so hopefully next time he'll actually get to see her!

B is for Bottles - It's a constant cycle of washing and sterilising bottles. Gone are the days when you can just go to bed when you want to as you realise you have NO clean bottles! Bobby's on 6oz now and has gone from his birth weight of 7lb 15oz to 12lb 6oz!!! What a bruiser!

C is for Cuddles - Love them! Love him!

D is for Dentinox - the world's best kept secret in helping your little one fart away that trapped wind!

E is for Early Starts - we're getting the hang of our routine but Bobby is still adamant that the day starts at 5:30am!

Playing on his Gym Mat at 5:30am!

F is for Forest Walks - we've had some lovely brisk walks round the forest. He seems to love being in the great outdoors!

An Evening Forest Walk

G is for Grandparents! Praise the Lord! They are lifesavers!

H is for Hot! I am constantly Hot! I'm not sure if it's my crazy hormones or this oppressive heat but I can't wait for some cooler days!

I is for I Love You - probably the 3 words I say most

I Love You!

J is for Juggling - juggling time, juggling visitors, juggling objects

K is for Korma.... as in Chicken Korma....- the current colour of Bobby's poos!

L is for Lycra - Yes, I am back in lycra! I have been to the gym occasionally, although once I've had the all clear from a few more check ups I hope to hit the gym a bit harder!

This is me exactly 12 months ago -
I hope to get back to some sort of fitness!

M is for Moo Music - our weekly music group on a Thursday is fab!

N is for Nicknames - currently including The Bobster, Bobby Dazzler, Bobsam, Chunky Monkey

O is for Outfits - isn't this one just the cutest!

Bobby is not so impressed with this one! Haha!

Stylish!

P is for Pretending to be asleep - at weekends when Bob's cries at night I lie there pretending I'm still asleep in the hope that Chris will give in first and attend to him! Does anyone else do this?!?

Q is for Quiet Time - i.e. right now! It's so lovely to have the odd 10 mins to do this!

R is for Romance - Hair and make up is a thing of the past - I've totally let myself go - but I'm looking forward to  date night with Chris on Saturday to try and get glammed up and do something just the two of us.

S is for Sleep - a thing of the past! Will we ever sleep the same again?

T is for Trainers - this is Bobby's first pair; courtesy of our lovely friend Sue!

U is for Unfit - see point L about Lycra. I miss feeling fit! Currently sitting at around 3 stone heavier than pre-pregnancy! Even some maternity clothes don't fit!

V is for Visitors - we've had millions of them! Bobby is a popular boy! But now they are few and far between we're getting out and about more.

Bobby and Rachel

W is for Wind - the bain of our lives! I hate trapped wind (both in me and in Bobby!)

X is for Xplore - we're loving exploring new places together and meeting new people.

Y is for Yummy Mummy - I hope to be one of these one days! Feeling rather bedraggled at the moment.

Our Yummy Family

Z is for ZZZZ - which is what Bobby is doing right now!
