First of all I must start by saying Happy 2016 everyone! Yep it’s been THAT long since I last blogged. I could have left it longer just because life is so busy but I actually miss this little sharing platform where I can be honest and express how I’m feeling week to week. So regardless of whether I end up staying up till daft o’clock tonight, I will post my first blog update of the New Year.
Hugo has come on leaps and bounds recently, his speech and language is developing rapidly everyday and he’s so curious and inquisitive about everything. He’s learnt the dreaded ‘no’ word combined with the shaking of the head and how to mimic every word you say. I’m finding it hilarious at the moment but I know that will probably soon come to an end as frustration kicks in, ha.
He says ‘no’ to honestly EVERYTHING even the things he absolutely loves and then he suddenly, mid shake of the head, pauses while he takes in what he’s actually rejecting and then says ‘more’ which is his way of saying ‘yes’.
I could sit and watch him all day, how he entertains himself, how he thrives off attention, especially my attention, he’s a definite people person and he loves to interact. He can really express himself now and lets you know very loudly what he wants, sometimes good and sometimes bad but through it all with a deep breath or big smile we embrace each wonderfully different day.
Dunham Massey
All these pictures are from our day trip to Dunham Massey set in the rustic British countryside with enchanted woodland areas, lakes, deer and teepees made from logs. I wish we had made a real day of it to be honest, the days are so short in winter and we ran out of daylight… it has so many lovely walks and with the grounds being so vast I felt we only skimmed the surface of what we could have seen. A beautiful day though nonetheless.
My first ever VLOG
Oh and one more thing, the music I used on the video is by Mike Dignam who happens to be my super talented little brother. You can check out more of his music here on Spotify or here on YouTube, he was even put in the top 10 albums for 2015 by iTunes, so proud of him!
So sweet. What a lovely day out. I can't believe this is your first vlog. Lovely. It's so amazing to capture video. I always love watching ours back knowing that I might not remember the little way they walked etc. So perfect to have it captured forever. Perfect to use Mike's music too. Xxx
Ah Sally I love this so much! Hugo is adorable – and you're such a beautiful little family! Amazing vlog mama – and loving your bro's music – off to check out more of it on iTunes! xx
HI SALLY LOVELY TO SEE MY LITLE GRANDSON GROWING UP ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM SOO FAR AWAY. I CAN REMEMBER YOU AT HIS AGE AND THE MEMEORIES LEFT BEHIND LAST AN ETERNITY.
FAMILIES TOGETHER SHARING SPECIAL TIMES ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF HUMAN RELAIONSHIPS AND REMIND US OF THE LOVE AND RESPONDSIBILITY WE HAVE AS PARENTS IN SHOWING THEM THE VERY ESSENCE OF FAMILY LIFE.
THANK YOU FOR REMIMDING ME AND SHARING WITH ME A SMALL PART OF YOUR FAMILY LIFE, XXXX DADDY
