THE EDEN PROJECT - A PUSHCHAIR FRIENDLY DAY OUT

Can you even go to Cornwall and not go to The Eden Project!? I don't think so! It's a proper family day out! Now I'm not particularly environmentally friendly or anything but I just think it's lovely to look around. But isn't it more for school age children than babies? Nope! It isn't! We took Theo with us on our visit and here's how we got on.

THEO | 5 MONTHS

We're a tad late as I had a hell of a lot of washing to do when we came back from our holiday - who knew babies needed so many clothes aye! Theo is now 5 months old and is definitely no longer my squidgy little newborn!

OUR TRIP TO CORNWALL AND THEO'S FIRST HOLIDAY

We're back!! Well we were back on Friday but it's taken me all weekend to wash all the holiday clothes and everything. It's hard to believe that such a tiny little person takes up so much room in a suitcase! I loved having some time away at the seaside and Theo's Dad got to spend some quality time with Theo for probably the first time since Paternity Leave. So here you go, a peak into our first little family holiday.

THEO | 4 MONTHS

My god it's been a long month...but in a good way. Looking back on my last post from Theo's 3 month update to now is crazy! My little premie baby is turning into an actual little person...and a cheeky one at that! Stop growing munchkin! So here we have a quick update on how we're getting on at 4 months old! The photo's are a little bit crap because like an idiot I took then the day after his 3rd set of jabs and wouldn't even look at the camera - SPOILER ALERT: They are a life ruiner!!

OUR HOMEMADE MILK BATH PHOTOSHOOT

This horrible windy morning we decided to do something a little bit creative. I saw this idea on Kirsty's blog a few months ago - check out her post here! - where she accidentally stained her little boy yellow but did get some beautiful canvas worthy photo's. Basically the popular Pinterest practice consists of plonking your baby in a bath full of milk (formula powder, not the milk for your tea) with some flowers. Even after reading her traumatic experience I still wanted to give it a go so armed with her words of wisdom, we we're ready to do this and this, is how we got on!

JESS TALKS: PARKING SPACE NOBS

When we first had Theo, the first big place we went to was Mothercare. He was a teeny tiny baby who had virtually no clothes that fit so off we popped. We were that used to parking in normal spaces that we drove around that car park for 5 minutes looking for a space until I realised...we have a baby now, we can park in the parent and baby spaces. Our lives were changed forever. However with this luxury of actually being able to get your car seat out of your car without scuffing the neighbours bodywork, comes great anger when someone who has been a parent for the last decade or more pulls into the only space available. I know it's petty and I shouldn't care but it just bugs me, ok!

THE START OF TEETHING: SPOTTING THE SIGNS & HOW TO COPE

Over the last few weeks we've been umm'ing and arr'ing over whether Theo is actually teething - after all he is only 3 months old. The dribbling, the irritability and the sudden awkwardness when it comes to sleeping and eating were dismissed by health visitors and random strangers alike. Until they saw him in person. My usual happy chappy can turn into the devil child in a matter of seconds and nothing settles him. It's bloody heartbreaking - and bloody hard work!
