Before Arlo arrived this lovely little sleepsuit arrived for him from Zippysuit, but I had to wait a little while for him to grow into it, but now it well and truly fits and I love it! The obvious difference between this and a regular sleepsuit is the zip, it runs up one leg to the neck, which makes taking it on and off a doddle, and so fast which is important during middle-of-the-night…
I love getting my babies dressed in nice outfits (though some days we stay in our PJs!) so I’m going to start documenting my favourite outfits in a weekly post (until I run out of outfits anyway!) The only positive to a newborn baby growing so fast is needing to get bigger clothes so often! Athena wears: Giraffe Print playsuit from Bows & Arrows at Boots (via a charity shop!) Spotty grey and…
I rarely dress in animal print myself but for some reason a couple of weeks ago when deciding on an outfit for Athena I picked all the animal print out and shoved it on, and personally I think she rocks it! I’ve been meaning to do a lot more ‘What the toddler wore’ posts but just never seem to remember to take photos with the proper camera, or have the energy to actually sort a…
What is more festive than a baby dressed up as a penguin? Not much! We were very kindly sent a penguin outfit from Time to Dress Up, who have a huge array of dressing up costumes! It took us a little while to decide what to pick, but anyone who knows me knows I love penguins, so that was what we decided on in the end! Delivery was super fast (as in…
I love to get Athena dressed, and try to dress her nicely on days when we are together (As opposed to nursery where I send her in old leggings and a top!) but when I am away next week I am already cringing at the getups that Sam will have her in. I am tempted to lay out an outfit for each day for him in fact! Thinking about it I just might, as I…
I’m hoping that by now the majority of the UK has had some proper sunshine, we definitely have down here and all my buggy-pushing in the sun has paid off as I have nicely tanned hands and feet (sadly I still have white legs though!) But this summer my priority is keeping Athena cool and protecting her delicate skin. Last summer she had only just arrived and when we were out she was in her…
Last week I swapped all of Athena’s 9-12 month clothes from the 12-18 month lot. I’d been squirreling away on ebay buying bundles, buying the odd bit here and there when I saw it, and had a lot of things given to us from my friend Amy now her daughter has grown out of it. One the one hand i’m happy that I have a whole array of new outfit choices ahead of me,…
So it won’t be long before I have to crack the 9-12 month wardrobe out, although Athena is only 8 months old today! Most of her trousers and leggings are too short now, and some are getting too tight round her roly poly middle. Tops however are fine mostly, and she’s still in some 3-6 month vests from M&S even! I have bought some vest extenders (like bra strap extenders but with poppers not hooks!)…
