  • :: this golden girl. Always quick to smile, even when she’s feeling under the weather. Always willing to make us laugh with her cheeky antics or little quirks and the way her face lights up at our encouraging responses, well my heart just... 💔🥰 . At nine months old, we started Sing & Sign classes and discovered just how much more Emilia loves a good boogie and a sing-song when she has a participating audience of babies 🎶 I always have music playing at home, throughout pregnancy and especially when she was a newborn, so her love for music is really not such a surprise. . Emilia is also obsessed with books. Before bedtime, she will make a beeline for her collection of books in her room like a magnet, rifling through them and picking out her bedtime story (this stage is on repeat most days) – Peepo is a particular favourite. ‘Reading’ aloud to us ever so proudly, occasionally chewing them and using them to slide across the living room floor... I’d still say those are all clear signs of a future book worm! 😍📚🐛 . #emiliahannarose #emiliahannarosemilestones
  • :: this magical memory and a thousand more, with you my little love 🌹✨
  • [ gifted items ] :: I’m living for these beautiful summer days we’re having right now. ☀️ . Sure my days are still pretty hectic, but there’s something about having the sunshine and blue skies that just lifts even the toughest of days for me. Oh and watching this gorgeous little one playing with these natural toys from her treasure basket (kindly gifted by the oh so lovely Emma @graspandgather) outdoors in the fresh air... it’s just one of the best feelings. 🌿✨
  • :: hello! 👋🏼 . I’ve not posted on Instagram for a while and feel somewhat out of touch with everything at the moment... how are you all? . This picture perfect window scene is from our day out on Father’s day a couple of weekends back. That little half moon window and wall of rambling roses are pure joy together aren’t they!? 🌿🌸
  • :: sharing Emilia’s 8 month update two months late... because I’m sure I’ve said this before, but time here is passing at lightning speed and honestly my memory (and concentration) beyond anything other than trying to ensure Emilia is happy, fed and sleeping well, just isn’t what it was pre-baby. Remembering something from the previous day during the hazy early morning milk feeds with Emilia has become my new normal now – I’m blaming the rollercoaster of hormones I still feel like I’m on and well, the constant need for much more restful sleep.... 🤷🏻‍♀️☺️ . At eight months Emilia discovered a love for pulling herself up to standing and cruising around the sofa; kissing and drumming on the glass patio doors and hysterically chasing herself in the mirrors of our sliding wardrobe doors. She also discovered a fondness for sweet potato and spinach croquettes, any pasta dish and an obsession for rice cakes – she’s definitely becoming a little foodie which I’m beyond thrilled about. . Emilia’s determination, independence and confidence at eight months made me beam from ear to ear, even if at times it took me half an hour of chasing her around (often still the case) just to get her into a clean nappy and dressed! Love this cheeky little entertainer of mine 🧡 . #emiliahannarose #emiliahannarosemilestones
  • :: summer daze ✨ I think Emilia is getting so close to taking her first steps – and I’ve been dreaming ahead to those long summer days spent at the park, chasing her around and refuelling the both of us with picnics 💛 #emiliahannarose

  • :: hope you had a lovely bank holiday Monday? After a slow morning at home we headed out to Houghton Mill nearby for a wander. We’ve only visited once before but on that occasion we arrived with very little time to explore... anyone else find it a challenge to get out the door promptly with their brood? . Thankfully, this time around we managed a leisurely wander around the whole property and although it rained quite a bit once we were there and my sandal-clad feet got rather wet, it was so so lovely to be out in the fresh air. Nature always resets my perspective on things that may be worrying me. 🌿✨ . #emiliahannarose
