Mirror mirror, on the wall...

...who's the fairest of them all?


I was actually doing well with posting and now I haven't posted in over a week! Naughty me! I actually love doing this blog, I've just been busy. But I will definitely start posting more regularly, honest!
Sharing just one photo of my little cutie from last week. I had just bleached my hair (post on other blog here) and had my full length mirror in my lounge while I was drying my hair. Oliver spotted himself and proceeded to be a vain little munchkin :)

Please excuse the messy background and the shabbily taken photograph, whenever Oliver noticed I had the camera, he turned away from the mirror, he's a poser!

On another note, as of yet my baba is still not crawling (he's 10 1/2 months). But, he is managing to get himself into a crawling position, then will throw himself down on the floor when he gets into it! Hopefully it won't be too long, I cannot wait for this milestone!

Love and stuff, 

'Mummy' Lucy and Oliver

The Paper Mama Photo Challenge: Black And White

16/07/2011- I've got toast on my t-shirt and I'm the biggest flirt

Two blog posts in two days, from me? I know, I know, I'm on it like a car bonnet. Not very photo heavy at all, just some cute snaps of mummy's little prince. I'm writing this post while attempting to get Oliver to have a nap in his cot. He doesn't nap in his cot, always his little bouncy chair which he is waaaaay too big for and I finally think enough is enough with that. So far, the cot nap is not very successful, stay tuned for updates.


Right, onto the snaps.

 

Oliver is 10+ months and so far he's not yet crawling. He's started to move onto his front but falls down bless him! So fingers crossed, we're getting somewhere. He also is still on baby food from jars, which I want to get out of. He doesn't help with feeds yet so I'm trying to also encourage him to eat more finger foods. Hence the crazy looking toast baby. I made him some wholemeal toast with laughing cow triangle on it (this is good for me, the stuff freaks me out to no end!) As you can see, he was simply shoving the whole thing in his mouth rather than biting at it, he does this with most things, despite having two bottom teeth! He started smiling and making faces at me as soon as he saw the camera flash!

Here he is being an absolute poser! These photos were too cute not to include, he really isn't camera shy! 

So those are the photos I have for today, he still hasn't gone off to sleep and it has been a while, he's getting himself upset the poor thing :(  

edit: he's just gone off to sleep now :)

On another note, I have a new weight loss/ healthy eating blog that you can get to by clicking here so please check that out if you like. I have only just started posting so not too many things to read through as of yet but still some content :)

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend despite this rainy-sunny-rainy again weather. Has anybody been up to anything exciting?

Recent Photographs of Oliver

Like I said in my last post, I haven't had much time to be taking loads of photos (hope to soon) and the only day I've actually been at home all day is today and that is because that time has come and I feel like utter crap. Also, my poor baby is full of cold and has been a moody little pup the past week!


So I've got some photographs from my blackberry to share with you instead :)

On his new ride-along, he loves it but is too short to move himself, bless him! He loves to beep the 'horn'.

Wearing mummy's ear muffs, I wonder if he'll develop my love of leopard print? He's gazing at his auntie in this photo.

And again, he's actually looking at me and not the camera but what a cutie!

Yesterday. after giving him his morning bottle in my bed, he fell asleep again for 2 hours and took up my pillow, the cheeky mare! Notice how he sleeps with his eyes half closed?

So there you go, sorry about the quality of the pictures but like I said, spare time has come few and far between.


I know I say this all the time but I realllly want to post more regularly. I actually really enjoy an excuse to gush about my baba!

Update! (mostly slimming world)

Again, I have not been posting regularly at all, I'm such a bad blogger, *slaps wrist*. My sister has been the resident photographer lately as she's staying with us and atm everything seems rather hectic!


I've joined slimming world as I'm on a journey to lose all the weight that I put on during my pregnancy and afterwards (a lot, try a few stone!) I just think it really is time to get the weight off and start looking after my body again. I know it will take time but I think slimming world is really more of a lifestyle change than a diet and I am loving it. I am cooking meals from scratch and really paying attention to what goes in my food which is great, and I can still have the occasional cheeky biscuit or two! I started on the 16th of June and have so far lost 8 1/2 lbs. I'm really happy with that because to see the number on the scales go down at all is fabulous for me after gaining weight for so long. I have another weigh in tomorrow and hopefully will lose some more!


I've also been getting more active and I now do a buggy fit class, and two zumba classes during the week so that's already 3 hours of exercise that I didn't do before. It really does make me feel great, I am just getting used to trying to fit everything in and keeping up my energy as I've obviously cut down on a lot of sugar. 


Anyway, that's my little ramble. I made a lovely honey marinade tonight to go over some chicken and homemade egg fried rice (without the oil, using fry light!) and it was delicious and I'm thinking of putting up some recipes on either this blog or my personal one here.  


(I'll post a picture of Oliver now to be in keeping with the blog!)

This was taken the day after I brought my baby home from hospital back in September. He looks so tiny and I can't believe how much he's grown in 10 months. He is my little angel on earth <3
