Bethany's Baby Babblings

An old panto buddy is off to join the army so me, monkey and auntie rachel joined him for lunch. We went to a lovely Greek place in our local town. I was a bit nervous taking wiggles because I'm used to taking her to more casual dining places but I needn't have worried - they were so accommodating and welcoming of us both! The waiters absolutely doted on her and she was loving all the attention. I love that she's a confident socialable baby who's willing to share her smile with anyone and everyone. Here she is stuffing her face with pitta bread. She actually managed to shove the whole strip into her mouth (don't worry she realised that it was over ambitious of her to do so and promptly took it out - classy girl) My confidence is taking dribble chops places is really improving. Don't get me wrong, I still get anxious mentally but I don't get the increased heart rate and whatnot anymore. It also helps that my sprog is quite chill and contented. An...

Me and my panto mother (who also has been a guest blogger -  see here ) took our sprogs to a baby rave AND IT WAS BLOODY ACE. And free. You know me, love mysen a bargain. There was pretty lights, flower garlands, pom poms, dancing, routines, bubbles, a parachute and foam!!!!! We were all knackered at the end of the session. Monkey had to have a breather, sit down and hit the sippy cup. And then she conked out for two hours. Note to self: have a baby rave if wiggles is resisting sleep! It was ran by  Boomchikkaboom  as part of Bradford Literature Festival and I will be definitely keeping an eye out for any other events they do.

Being a Yorkshire lass, it's a rite of passage to go to Eureka. If you haven't heard of it (and if you haven't, why not?) it's a children's museum in Halifax and it's bloody amazing! Me and Dale went with my lovely colleague and her gorgeous little lad who is a few months off two. He was definitely more into eureka than squidge. Probably because she's only five months old. He was so lovely with squidge and even held her hand at one point. It was so bloody cute!!! We tried to get a photo but getting a photo of two sprogs is quite the challenge. But this one is reet nice. Even if monkey only has one sock on haha. The grown-ups favourite things; • the reasonably priced cafe  (food is very important) • the abundance of baby change places  (nicknamed code yellows and bye-byes lol) • i can't speak for the other two but I reet enjoyed all the opportunities to dress up The kiddo's favourite things; • going in the lift  (yep, really hahaha) ...
