Wedding Bells

Yesterday we went to the wedding of our good friends Gordon and Becky. Ben was Gordon's best man and did a great job, which made up for the fact that both Max and I missed him all day! We watched from afar as he did his duties! It was a really long hot day and Max struggled to sleep in his buggy, but we had a great time! It was hard getting up today for church after our late night, but Max Ben and I all settled down after church today for a well earned nap. Max enjoyed his nap so much that we had to wake him up as his nap was extending dangerously close to bedtime! Here are some pics of the special day and my special boy!


My little handsome man!

The gorgeous love birds!


Poor Max, so hot and tired!

Bouncy bouncy

Nanny Maureen gave us this bouncer for Max ages ago, and he is just about big enough for it now, so today we got it down from the loft and Max tried it for size - it was a resounding success, and I am very excited to have another bit of kit to distract my son so I can get things done around the house!

Swimming!

Today has been very fun! Ben and I took Max swimming for the first time. He loves being in the bath so we were optimistic that he would enjoy himself - and he certainly did, although it wasn't quite as we expected - he just stayed very quiet and was taking everything in. He didn't splash around much, but just kicked back and relaxed! We stayed in for about 40 minutes, and we only got out because Ben and I were bored! I am thinking that this will become a regular outing for Max and I!


Before - getting ready!


During - just chillin!


After - getting dry!

A fab weekend!

We have had a great weekend, we took Max to see his big sister Louisa - she absolutely loved having him around for the day and Max coped pretty well with the journeys. His routine has been a big disrupted over the past few days, hence some grizzles and some taxing bedtimes, but all in all he did great. Here are some snaps from the last few days.

This little seat is a life saver at the moment when all Max wants to do is sit up, but can't quite do it himself yet.

He smiles all the time now and I love it!

Here he is at about 10.30pm in a hotel in Chorley on Friday night - he was bright as a button after sleeping the entire 4 hour journey.

He was even happy to perform with a few push-ups, something he will only do if he is in a good mood!
