Nappies are ordered !!!!

10 fluffy mail should be coming through our front door in the next few days !!!!

So can't wait !!!!! Will update with pics soon !!!

We decided to order a smaller buggy. We needed to really as the other one took up too much space in the boot as there wasn't much room for anything else !! And also with going away in July to a christening and then to Haven in September we needed something smaller to fit all the luggage in !! I liked the quinny and how compact it folded down .. but it didn't have the recline option. Which we both really wanted as Chloe does still like to have a snooze every now and then in the buggy, also it has a small shopping basket .. its small, but better than nothing I guess !! Anyway the model we have is a 2009 Petite Star Zia in Purple Berry, it came with the raincover so thats good. No footmuff but they are cheap enough on ebay so might purchase one there if it gets really cold like last winter .. no doubt it will be tho !!!

Reclined fully !!!

We've gone CLOTH !!!

I have always wanted to do Cloth Nappies and thought about doing it with Chloe !! Well in the end decided against it .. well now I thought why not give it a go. So I bought a single nappy off ebay, £7 including postage !!!

The nappy !!!

Inside and the 2 inserts

The pocket inside the nappy where the inserts go

And Chloe sporting her cloth nappy !!!

So now I need to order the pack of 10 and we should be well away !!! I think I may order as well a pack of 3 so hopefully then we should have plenty !!!!

Lasagne and green beans for tea !!!

You think she enjoyed ????

Backcarry !!!!

I had ordered and made a wrap sling a little while back, well shes a bit to heavy to go on the front so I was suggested to carry her on my back, I did the youtube search for instruction videos and thought looks easy enough with Jons help so we tried it.

We got this ... as you can see it doesn't look safe !!

The next day we modified the technique a little and got it to be like this !!!! Much better !!! She looks much safer like that !!!

And a view from the back !!!!

Hmmmmmmmm ...

Chloe had been bathed, drank her milk and gone to bed. She had been settled and asleep for a little bit. Hubby was bathing Ryan and I think she may have been disturbed and so she started banging around. She was getting quite excited and making lots of noise so hubby went in to see what the monkey was doing. He shouted me up so I grabbed the camera and went ..... to find this !!!!

The monkey had helped herself to Ryans paperwork from school etc !!!

And she even showed me how she did it !!!!

Meet up with Gerogi on the 22nd April 2010 !!

I have known Georgi for a good few years on a trying to concieve forum I used to go on and she had since then set up her own forum. Shes not to far from here so we both learnt .. it took her 45 minutes to get here !! I was sooooooo excited to finnaly meet her !!! Her daughter Klara is gorgeous !!! Her older son Theo was in nursery. We had a fantatsic meet and had a scrummy lunch of pizza and salad !!!

Chloe looking at Klara !!!
