Our Saturday

Once again we are able to keep up with this nice routine!

Repeating the previous scones recipe, we had a tasty batch of scones for breakfast... 

Someone was pretty happy with that!

And so was mummy!

We then went out, afterwards for our regular walk. Once again we had the company of our precious wooden friend, the little cow! This is definitely a favourite toy of his, we never dreamed to go for a walk without it....

He was given this little cow as a birthday gift last year. I don't remember who it was who gave him this, but whoever it was, spot on for his birthday gift! This little cow soon conquered his little heart, and it was a great help for his first steps.... He loves to walk it around! 

You can see this a favourite of his, as it is so worn out already.... !

Our Saturday!

I am so pleased with our little weekend routine! We now have an established weekend routine... Our Saturday mornings start with some baking... Followed by a delicious breakfast, fruit of our previous hard work! We then head out to a walk by the near park... Feed the swans and the ducks is a mandatory stop... and then we walk and enjoy the sightseeing, which is just beautiful. River Itchen is just stunning really. On Sunday we go to the city centre and enjoy the local playground. This routine is working so well for us, we are able to have such enjoyable family time! So, lets describe our Saturday then...:

We started by baking pancakes...! Again the little one had so much fun helping me out! 

He had a blast using the whisk! The end result was just delicious....:

Just yummie!

I already posted a while back a picture of little one and his walking cow... He absolutely loves to walk the little cow! He is so happy and cute while at it... Hw waves bey bey to every walker by, and they just laugh out loud and wave back at him... We spent hours just walking the little cow...:

We did somehow managed to draw his attention to the river and swans... And then we fed the swans, he loved it too!

How was your Saturday?

Our Saturday!

What a lovely sunny day we had today! And what a prolific day we had... Quite different from our previous Saturdays, I might add...

Our morning started quite early as usual, and I was feeling like having something special for breakfast, must be the GBBO effect, and so we started our day by baking scones. Of course, I had a little special helper with me for the entire process...:

The scones were really tasty, I might start a tradition now, as we both had lots on fun while baking. The little one is a keen observer and absolutely loves all things new! Baking with mummy was such new experience, he loved adding all the ingredients, mixing up the dough... And especially having a try of the final product!

After breakfast, we went outside, and enjoy the sunny weather with a bit of gardening... Daddy loves gardening, having a back garden is like having a new toy for this grownup! While daddy was gardening, the little one was having fun in the sun.

And to enjoy this weather and making the most of our garden today, nothing better than a little family BBQ! Sorry but no pictures to show this... We were enjoying ourselves and forgot to take some nice pictures! Next time!

Our day finished with some fun in the local playground, noticed the change of clothes? Someone enjoyed too much the BBQ and a quick change was demanded!

And how did your Saturday go? 

Did you enjoy the sunny day?

Saturday @ Bournemouth

We had a lovely Saturday during the past bank holiday weekend... The weather was simply amazing so we went to Bournemouth and enjoyed the sun properly by the seaside...

Nana gave cute baby boy a little set, with a little red shovel, salmon rake and a cupcake mould. We had lots of fun playing with those...trying to mould cupcake sand forms...!

He had lots of fun, just playing with the set and the sand.... I do believe though that the shovel and the rake were not necessary at all for some sand fun,...  as  the sand was more that enough....! He still loves just to feel it trough his little fingers...

We also went for a walk by the sea...

Not too long now until he is able to walk all by himself... he is becoming more confident each day.
I love these days...

How about you, did you have much fun this past weekend?

Baby & Me: Indoor fun, Lego Time!

This past couple days my baby has been under the weather.

He was running a bit of fever during this weekend, and only today I feel he got better. 

So, we couldn´t have our regular walk, play at the playground or hit the park. This past weekend was all about indoor play... And try to survive ... an entertain a not very happy toddler.

So we had to keep him entertained when he was feeling better and wanting to play. He has tons of toys, I am so astonished at how many toys he has in just less than 1 and half years!

He has some favourites, and I have to admit that I have lots of fun with him and.... Lego!

Some months ago we bought him a small table so that he could play there...
I think he feels a bit more grown up when sitting on his little chair and playing over the table.

I am a big fan of Lego play, really. Besides being very fun to play with, babies are also training his skills, fine motor skills and cognitive skills as they are also developing eye-hand coordination.

So I play Lego with him every time possible... And that would keep him entertained for a couple of hours.

I could be looking at him playing a whole day and would never grow bored. I watch him learning new skills all the time... The way he mixes the blocks, or used the little animals... Or you know just throwing the blocks out the box and spreading those on the carpet...its such an imaginative play either way!

Yes, I know. We have a big fan of Lego play here!

What do you do play with for some indoor fun? 

Let me know all about it so I can try it with my lo too!

Our Saturday!

What a great day it was today! Sunny, warm.... And that´s wonderful, as we were able to enjoy this weather in our regular walk!

I love to take my baby out so that he can enjoy some fun time in our local playground... And I love to see the changes that slowly but surely are taking place. He is becoming more adventurous, and his little personality is shaping up, as he is able to make sure that mummy and daddy know what he wants to do next. In the very beginning I was the one deciding where to take him, and what we would play with next, today? He was taking charge, and pointing out what we would play with...

Some preferences are clearly showing up: he loves the slide! And the swing... We stood near the baby swing for a long time waiting for our turn, and he would not move an inch until he played there...

He also loves the xylophone:

 

And he got more adventurous, playing with both sticks. In the beginning he needed to grab the equipment and he would only "play music" with one stick, but today... He was using both! He is becoming more confident with his balance....

Also we did a little shopping today! We bought new shoes, and he got a chance to show these cuties at the playground...

 

There´s something about babies shoes, they all look so cute!!

 

 what about you, how was your Saturday?

Just a Saturday walk....

Am I the only one disappointed at this´s weekend´s weather? Last two weekends it was sunny, warm... this time that we have a long weekend with the bank holiday... The weather is just... you know, typical!

Even though the weather was not inviting at all, we went for a walk!

I always try my best to go for long walks, and get my lo some fresh air...

One of our regular places is the local park, it has a major playground, and my lo really enjoys being there.

So we tried as much equipments as possible, but given my lo is still little and barely walks, its still a bit limited the amount of fun play he can have there. Still, he enjoys every little bit of it, and enjoy being there and seeing him have fun!

One of our stops is the musical equipment... He just love listening to the different notes when banging the sticks... And so does his mama!

And of course the slide! He always tries to go up the slide...

Today we also met some new friends... some seagulls and pigeons were nearby!

And what about you? Did you had some fun this Saturday?
