first day at nursery

Milou's first day at the nursery fell on her second birthday. I brought in some cakes for her to share with her new friends. She really enjoyed the day and she didn't want to leave!

Milou's first day as a two year old! 

milou is two!

Twelve months ago we had a super amazing day of friends and family, music, dance, food and cake. Thank you to you all for making Milou's first birthday very special!

I have been thinking about all the milestones Milou has achieved for the past year, from walking to toddling to running like the wind; plus many other new skills like singing some of her favourite lullabies, feeding herself and dancing. It is pretty awesome!

There will be more achievements in the coming year and I know my baby girl will continue to make my heart burst with pride.

Happy second Birthday Milou!

Mummy and Daddy love you very much

one more sleep

Milou gets to have a lil birthday celebration with her new friends at the nursery in the morning. We are then taking her out for lunch and picking her present.  

smiley lil girl

This girl loves to smile and they are very contagious! I am addicted to them as they fill my heart with love. 

birthday week

I am dedicating my posts this week to my baby girl who is turning two in three days time. Here she is at two days old soaking up some sunshine by the window at Watford General Hospital maternity ward.

confinement

Milou was born nearly two years ago when we had lots of snow hence it was quite nice to stay in the warmth and comfort of home for our confinement. This time round is harder when weather has been exceptionally nice and I am really missing the regular walks with the family. 

Just a few more days then Marceau and I can venture out for some fun!

puppy love

Duke, our other boy in the family. His first play in the garden when he was just over 8 weeks old. He may be little but has a big heart and loves nothing more than giving sloppy kisses!

baking

Have I ever told you that I love to bake? Here is a cake that I baked for my mother in law's 65th birthday. I must remember to share the recipes with you in the future. 

My husband has decided to go gluten free for 100 days, which has made things a bit difficult for me. I have never baked with gluten free flour nor tried any gluten free recipes. 

Milou's second birthday is less than a week away, I should probably start researching for a gluten free red velvet cake recipe. Wish me luck!

Baby photo shoots are so much fun. I can't wait to share more with you!

This sweet little girl had her first trial day at the nursery today. Milou was 8 months old in this picture.

cousins

Meet Milou's cousin, Mylo who is a cheeky little darling that loves blowing kisses. I wish I can give him a cuddle everyday but I am thankful for Skype so I can see him when I want to.

thinking of you

My mum's first ever snow fight! Our road trip to the French alps for Christmas 2013 when mum was visiting us.

autumn days

These pictures were taken during mid November last year when most leaves would normally be gone weeks before that. I love the red and gold of Autumn and enjoy watching the leaves dancing on a windy day.

going home

It's finally time to go home after being at the hospital for 4 days. We were being looked after really well by all the nurses and midwives but we were ready to spend the first days of our lives together as a family.

goodbye 2014!

I can’t believe this year is coming to an end. In a way I can see exactly where the time went. It has been a year full of ups and downs, challenges and triumphs, and so many life lessons I have learned this year. 

Since the arrival of our lil man over a fortnight ago, the whole family has been soaking up some much needed rest and spending some precious time with our loved ones. I have also been using my confinement time doing what I love most, being with my family and taking pictures!

Time is precious so spend 2015 with people and things you love, make it a year to remember. Wishing you all a healthy and fun 2015!

dune du pilat

The highest sand dune in Europe. It is located in the Arcachon Bay area, France.

A beautiful location to spend a few hours in the afternoon soaking up some sunshine whilst enjoying the spectacular view from the summit.
