TRYING TO SLEEP HERE! LEAVE ME ALONE!

{THE ORDINARY MOMENTS 15} Silence of the Night & Baby Boy

In the silence of the night is when I am most relaxed with my beautiful baby boy. I must admit that I am normally feeding him and checking out Twitter these days but I do try to stop and completely memorise his soft sweet head. Those little fingers that are often gripping on to my pyjama top or reaching out for warm skin are so special.

He is normally drinking his favourite milk with his eyes closed but once in awhile I look down and he is staring at me. He is smiling and chatting more these days and in the quiet of the night is when we have our best talks. There is no sister making noise or the humming of a children's TV program in the background. There is just him and I cuddling in the dim-lighted living room. Sometimes he wants to bounce up and down on my lap. Working on strengthening his legs and wiggling his bottom. Soon he falls back to sleep peacefully and I sneak back into bed. In the morning, I wake feeling tired but he wakes up and gives me a huge smile. The smile and look in his eyes says "Thank you Mommy for the warm milk and cuddles last night". I am trying to remember every moment of my son being a baby. I don't know if will have another baby in the future so I need to cherish these "ordinary" baby moments. I love you sweet boy.

Yummy! I want one!

{THE ORDINARY MOMENTS 15} Teddy Bears and Teapots

When Little Ladybug was around 4 months old, I discovered a local music class run by Hillary and Stacey of Hartbeeps.  This is the one baby group that I have been loyal to over the last years.  It is on Monday mornings so it helps to start the week off active and keeps us from being sad that Mr L (aka Daddy) is back at work.  I met a couple of my really good friends at this class and have enjoyed watching our children get older together.  When it was time to head back to work after maternity leave, Little Ladybug went to a childminder that I met at Hartbeeps.  These days I get to take her every Monday to the "Happy House" session that is designed for toddlers to 4  years old. Little siblings are welcome so now Bumblebee Boy comes too.

My Captured Moment - Week 9

This is my beautiful 12 week old baby boy.

When I was pregnant with him counting down the first 12 weeks it felt like time was moving so slowly but the last 12 weeks has gone so fast.  Love this boy!

{THE ORDINARY MOMENTS 15} #9 Snow Day

On February 3rd, 2015, we woke up to discover it had snowed.  Little LadyBug was only a couple months old the last time it snow enough in our part of England to build a snowman.

We decided to have a "snow day" and keep Little LadyBug home from nursery.  My husband would have loved to "work from home" but he had a training at work. I think he was very jealous that we got to play in the snow.

The snow was melting fast but we put on our warm clothes. I put Bumblebee Boy in the sling and we prepared to gather enough snow to make our 1st snowman together.  We took all the snow from the area in front of the house and put it in a waggon to transport to the back of the house.  We had fun creating "Harry" with his rocks for eyes, nose and mouth.  Most of the snow melted by lunchtime but "Harry" took a couple days to slowly melt away.  These are the days to remember.

  

{THE ORDINARY MOMENTS 15} #8

The lovely Katie at Mummy Daddy Me has inspired me to start documenting the "ordinary moments" of my family.  

In the last couple months there have been several moments that have been extraordinary.  The birth of my Bumblebee Boy on December 9th will be a day that I will never forget.  Little Ladybug's 3rd birthday was very special because we were celebrating her birthday but also spending time with the amazing children and adults that came into our lives because of her.  Another extraordinary moment was when Bumblebee Boy smiled at me for the first time.  I hope I never forget his sweet baby smile and him winking at me.

Since we have new baby in the house, we have spent most of the last couple months at home.  The moments at home could be considered ordinary but these are some of my favourite memories.  I loved watching as my daughter and son have started to interact and respond to each other.
