Christmas thank yous.

Little Miss Lydibug was thoroughly spoilt over Christmas so I thought to say thank you and record her gifts I would do this post. We had a lovely morning at home and opened a few presents with Nana and Grandad on Skype before heading out to play on the swing set. After breakfast Aunty Lyn and Aunty Cate (aka Aunty Cake) came over for a play. In the afternoon we went to Granny and Grandad's on the coast. There we met Lydibug's cousin Eliza  and her lovely Mummy and big brother for the first time. The two girls had a great time playing and chatting together. Aunty Kim was also there. We all enjoyed a yummy turkey dinner and Lydi did so well despite battling her ear infection, cutting 2 teeth and only sleeping for about 1 hour. Once home we opened more presents, had a quick snack and went to bed. I'm still not used to Christmas in the sun and I am determined Lydibug and the bump will experience a proper chilly UK Christmas, but may be once they're old enough to remember it.
 


 




  



 


 

                     
         

I think there is more in here!

 Sorry the photos are all over the place, not sure what happened there. She received so many other gifts so thank you to everyone who thought of her. Her other favs include playdough cutters, threading boards, colouring tools, books, clothes, a Charlie and Lola milk and biscuit set and more food for her kitchen. I'll try to add more photos as and when I remember to take them. She got so much we've no idea what to get her as a present from the new bub or for her birthday.

The first week of the new year has gone already and Daddy goes back to work on Monday. But it's not too long till our new arrival will be here and we will be a family of four. This week we have enjoyed breakfast out and Daddy and I went out for the afternoon which was lovely. Not sure when we will get to the cinema again.We also went to the Botanical Gardens which was great fun but Lydi was very upset she couldn't go into the water.

Lydibug is doing so well in her cot bed and we are on the lookout for a proper single bed for her. She has become a real girly girl. Her room is slowly filling with pink plastic and handbags which she loves to take out. We have finally found some knickers in her size and she wore all of them today. She lets us know when she is wetting, next need to learn the about to wet feeling. She also had her first fringe cut, it took two of us and an ice block to get the job done. The photo shows she was not impressed.

So I guess the next post will be to introduce Lydibug's new sibling. Still no ideas about the sex or names but I'm so looking forward to seeing the two of them together. I'm sure Lydibug will be such a help and I hope she doesn't find it a too big adjustment. Just today we had a great time playing with my make-up brushes and the giggling went on and on for ages, ending with a huge cuddle. Another treasured memory to add to the collection and many more to come.
