sleeping beauty

I had another very wakeful night with Molly as shes still very snuffly and fed lots so i woke up feeling very very bleary eyed and grumpy but when i saw this little beauty next to me in bed i couldn't help but smile :)

pixies in the mist

On Friday we went on a very misty walk across the fields.

Then the sun started coming out and all the mist rolled away it was so pretty to watch . we didn't see another person while we were out it was so peaceful and tranquil it really lifted my spirits after a wakeful night up with a snuffly Molly.

Molly slept the whole time we were out in a mei tai I'm borrowing off Angie from the GP forum to see if i like it and so far i really do :) i was worried it would be too much like my horrid Tomy baby carrier i was given when Ben was born but it wasn't and it is so comfortable to wear and very quick and easy to put on which i LOVE LOVE LOVE !

Hetty the hat chicken

yesterday we went for a walk along the canal . we got followed all the way by two swans who kept hissing at Doodles .

This cute Chicky was made from a shop bought baby hat i got given when Molly was born .it didn't fit very well so i made it into a chicken :) one side is stripey cotton and the other side is soft fleece material.

These little mice are the perfect quick little knitting project for a busy mama with a craft addiction :)

visiting Nana and Grandad

On Sunday my mum took us all down to Staffordshire to see the pixies Nana and Grandad . I found it strangely sad going through Stoke on Trent where we used to live and seeing all the places we went .I miss our dirty old city :(

This was the first time they have seen Molly so she got los of cuddles .

on the playground with Auntie Yvonne.

soggy welly walk.

Great excitement ! the sheepys have started having little Lambs :) a very cute and fluffy sign that spring is here !

the tint dot of red is Daisy getting stuck climbing over a gate :)

Check out the muddy knees, always a sign of a good walk

The pixies couldn't resist the sight of all this water ,and wellys were soon filled with water .

and coats and trousers soaked but Ben and Daisy didn't mind and happily squelched home to a warm bath and some hot chocolate .

making

Yes i know Christmas has been and gone well for at least the next 10months but i so wanted to make this knitted Christmas tree decoration for Christmas 09 but never quite got round to it so i made it for next Christmas :) organised or what ? This photo goes under the title of 'making Molly calm' i read in some naff baby book that giving a bath in the evening can calm them and help with those evening crying sessions so we gave it a try and for the last couple of night it has really done the trick YAY! Ive taken to just filling up the kitchen sink as its nice and deep and baby sized :) and Molly doesn't seem to doest mind having a bath next to the washing up drying on the draining board .

This is a lovely mummy make from Lou from the GP forum ,its so pretty i love it :)

Knitted bunny rabbit i made for Molly as a Easter present ,did i mention how organised i am lol :)

Daisy modeling my scarf i eventually finished just as winter comes to a end :) oh well .

what a lucky Mummy i am getting two handmade valentines cards from my pixies , the red one is from Daisy and the cream coloured one is from Ben.

Ben has become a Jigsaw junkie he cant get enough of them so Ive been buying him some from charity shops and grandma found some jigsaws in her loft that were mine . He has a jigsaw session most mornings before hes even gets dressed .

scrummyness

This tiny little one has been keeping me busy so time for blogging has become a bit scarce.
My poor pixie has been having a touch of windy pops so spends most evenings crying sleeping waking up and crying a bit more till she finally falls asleep from exhaustion from all the crying ,its heartbreaking to see her so upset and walking round 'jiggling her' and a nice warm bath seems to be the only things that calms her .
During the day time she is a happy peaceful baby who loves nothing more than a nap in her mummy's arms . I'm feeling very tired but very blessed although the tiredness is making me feel cold all the time so I'm going for the world record of number of items of clothing worn at anyone time .

surrounded by mummy made knittedness. i think i should have knitted myself some of these trousers i could really do with some trousers that come up to my armpits :)

just look at this tiny perfect little foot :) so scrummy.

Molly all ready to go in the sling for a very cold frosty walk in her Teddy moo suite as weve decided to call it .

and yet another photo of Molly snuggled in her sling :)

a little of what weve been up to

Here is some of what we have been up to over the last couple of days .
Ben's come over all maternal and dressed his soft toys and Daisy's dolly in Molly's clothes :) he has been changing nappies and wipeing imaginary poo bottoms :) At the weekend it was so sunny and beautiful so we went for a walk in Spring Wood to soak up the winter sunshine .

me and my little bro and of course Doodles who wasn't going to missed out of the photo .

Many an hour has been passed playing with our homemade glittery playdough.
