This summer we can’t afford to go on holiday with our little one so, instead, we are having lots of days out locally. This is easier said than done as, although the under threes get in free to most attractions, you still have to pay hefty adult entrance fees. Therefore, we have been trying our best to find things to do for free!

My little one is now a confident cruiser and is keeping me on my toes! With a combination of speed crawling and walking around the furniture and walls she can now get everywhere in our flat – I have to have eyes in the back of my head!

At 13 months our little girl finally has a tooth poking through at the bottom - I was beginning to wonder if she was going ot be a toothless toddler!

Last week it was our little girl’s birthday – I  can’t believe how fast the past year has gone. Looking at photos of her as a tiny baby in the hospital it still feels like yesterday! We decided to have a small family tea party to celebrate as she’s a little too young for a big do. However, it was unbelievable how much there was to organise!
