Hi Lara,
Well what can I say your now 18 weeks old now and your growing up fast, me and mummy have noticed your starting to work out what your hands are and what they do.
Your smiling and laughing more and getting very interested in things like leaves, birds tweets, different noises.
We are falling in love with you more and more as you grow as a little human and your character starts to emerge.
Love
Daddy
Hey Lara,
It’s Saturday morning Daddy is at work, you are napping after a feed and Mummy is blogging.
Lyndsey is having a week off next week, so Mummy is looking after you before she starts her new job on 30th.
When Daddy went to work, we had a bit of tummy time on the bed before you wanted some breakfast. We practised rolling over and sitting up.
We love that when you are not crying for a feed or you’re tired, you are such a happy and smiling baby. We love you so much.
Love,
Mummy x
Hey Lara,
We starting to see that you love being outdoors. When you are indoors with us, you are always looking out of the window at the leaves on the trees. When I pick you up from Lyndsey’s you are always looking about to see where the birds are you can hear, or the rustling of the leaves. You are so inquisitive and we absolutely love it.
I’d never been before, and the photos online showed it to be a very pretty place. Your Daddy had a rota’ed day off work so off we went. With only a new people there it was pretty special, as it felt like we had the place to ourselves.
We walked for miles, and saw cows and squirrels. The ground was rather uneven but you didn’t care, and even fell asleep near the end.
Another wonderful day with Team Bubble (minus Nismo, obviously).
Love,

Hey Lara,
After lots of stretching and grunting you finally did it! You rolled over!
All the websites and articles we read about it said they may show signs of rolling from their tummy to their front from as early as 4 month, and from back to front from 5 – 6 months…and you have done both at almost exactly 4 months old.
You are such a clever girl, and your Mummy and Daddy are so proud of you. Nice one Girl!
Love,

Hey Lara,
I know I keep saying this, and you are always warned by other parents, but time of flying by. Your Daddy and I are really enjoying watching you grow and develop before our very eyes. I look back at photos of you were you were first born, and can’t believe how much you have grown since then.
You make being a Mummy such a pleasure. I am absolutely adore you Lara. I love just snuggling into you, feeling your warms and wriggling about, trying to stare at the leaves out of the window, you can’t get enough of those at the moment.
You are such an amazing little girl.
Love,
Mummy x
Hey Lara,
15 weeks since we brought you into the world. Who would of thought you’d change so much in such a small space of time. Your Daddy and I were looking at photos were taken of you since you were born and you’ve changed so much!
You’re smiling and laughing loads now. We’re beginning to learn your little ways, like why you’re crying (despite others thinking they know better), usually your grandparents (your Daddy’s parents).
Nanna Helen misses you so much. She hates being so far away from you. From us.
You had your second lot of immunisations on Thursday, you were so badass, you let out a one cry when the needle went in and that was it! I had an appointment of my own just before yours, and I was diagnosed with postnatal depression. It’s not your fault, it’s just something some Mummys suffer with after having a baby, and dealing with other stresses, for me it was moving house, moving jobs, your Daddy moving jobs, falling pregnant, having you, planning a wedding and getting married, getting us all to Cornwall safely. It’s all been a bit crazy and I think I hit my limit of things and feels. I started taking tablets this morning, and we shall see if they make a difference. But enough about that, onto more positive things.
It was my birthday on Wednesday, and to celebrate your Daddy managed to get some time off work so we could spend some time together as a family…or Team Bubble as we like to call ourselves, even before you were born.
Your Daddy is getting closer to fixing Mummy’s car and getting it ready for it’s mot. I really miss driving Kiko, and being able to get about on my own.
Here are some photos we’ve took of you this week…
Love,

Hey Lara,
I while ago, I read an article about a letter a mother wrote to her daughter, some rules to live your life by. I would like to share them with you…
Don’t let anyone stop you being the amazing and beautiful girl you are.
We love you Lara Bug!

Hey Lara,
We brought you to your first proper car show today, with an early start and everything.
We fed you and changed your nappies in the car as well. Car show veterans!
You have been to a couple of vintage shows where there were cars, but this was your first big show. We had a great time with you, but one of the other very noisy Subaru’s scared you a little, so we got you out the way and somewhere quieter.
We treated ourselves to a Beckworth Afternoon Tea for Two before shopping for our veggies for dinners next week. We were happy to be getting home as we were both knackered from your early start for food and then the early start for the show. But we don’t care what time you wake us up. Just means we get to see you more.
We love you so much,
Mummy x
Hey Lara, You’re so much fun! We love playing with you, and making your smile and laugh. Here you are playing with Daddy…
I like playing with you on your crunchy tube…
Hey Lara,
Seriously, where has the time gone?
12 weeks doesn’t sound like a lot, but to you it’s a lifetime…literally. You’re laughing and smiling all the time now. You are getting big as well, almost too big for your basket. We will be putting you in your room soon. I’m hoping you will be tall like me, as walking around with your Daddy’s family, I feel like Snow White and they are the dwarves.
If it’s possible, you grow more and more beautiful everyday. I love our cuddles, I love feeding you and I love changing your nappy. I know it sounds crazy but I just like being with you.
Seeing you with your Dad also makes me smile. We love doing things together with you. Going places with you. We can’t wait to travel abroad with you. See the world with you. We love going to vintage shows as a family.
I love you so much, and can’t imagine my life without you in it.
Much love,
Mummy x
