Xander is one!

I can't quite believe it! I'm a mummy to a ONE year old! Xander turned one on Thursday and we have had a whole week of birthday celebrations! Over the next few weeks I intend to publish some blog posts about planning first birthday parties and gift reviews!! So keep revisiting!

I will leave you for now with a few photos of our gorgeous little man! I can't believe how much he has grown and developed in just a year! Every single day he astounds me with his intelligence and confidence. He makes me so proud!! 

First Steps!

A quick post today! Just to inform all my regular followers of Xander's latest milestone! He's walking!!!! It started slowly with him pulling himself up and walking around furniture at 9 months. By 10 months he was taking his first steps and now with just two weeks until his first birthday he is getting quite brave and walking quiet long distances. I'm guessing he'll be we'll and truly mobile by his first birthday!!! I'm so proud of my little man!! (Sorry for the blurry pic - he's fast!!) 

Xander's first snow!!

Hi all, just a quick post today to share some photos of Xander's first snow! To be honest we literally stepped foot in it for five minutes in total!! We took a few pics, he wasn't too impressed when I laid him in the snow for a snow angel pic! But Xander absolutely loved watching it out of the window, he couldn't stop chuckling!

I think it's fair to say we are all snowed out now and looking forward to it thawing out and normality resuming!! Did you have any good snow days? Did you make anything impressive whilst out in the snow?!

Xander's first tooth!!

Saturday was a landmark moment in my little mans life! After a couple of weeks of rosy red cheeks, trying every type of pain relief available (Nelson's teething granules are by far the best!) and sleepless nights Xander's first toothy peg cut through!!

Here's a little pic of my gorgeous boy on this momentous day. Just love him!!

Xander's First Night In His Cot (In His Nursery)

We had to do it, he was simply getting too big in his Moses basket. Throughout the night he was thrashing about and waking himself up. On top of that he was snoring loudly which was waking both myself and hubby up and us coming up to bed at different times meant we was unintentionally waking him.

In an ideal world i'd prefer to keep him in with us until he was six months but his cotbed is far too big for our room.

So tonight I started a new bedtime routine. 7pm changed into pj's, feed, put on his sleep bag, carried him upstairs, put him in his cot awake (but drowsy) and within two minutes he was sparko! Will report in the morning how his first night went! I have a feeling he'll have more sleep than me (I'm currently sleeping in the spare room on the same floor as his bedroom with the monitor switched on the loudest mode!) Sweet Dreams all!

Milestone: Xander's First Roll

Proud Mummy Alert!!!

Excitingly Xander flipped over from his tummy to his back whilst in bed yesterday morning! I was taking photos of him at the time and got this pic mid-roll! (It's a shame I wasn't recording him)

I'm sure it was just a fluke (he's only just three months and going by what most websites say this most commonly occurs at approximately four months) but nethertheless it was a big moment in our house!! His little face afterwards was so cute! He seemed so shocked that he'd managed it, bless him!

I can't wait for him to do it again! Hopefully hubby will get to see him do it too. (Sadly he was at work and missed it) Now we need to be extra careful where we put him down! :)
