Eastbourne

This weekend we went to Eastbourne to a family Wedding. As we've never travelled together since I, Molly and Margaux joined the family we thought we'd extend the visit. We stayed in the BEAUTIFUL Bassets House. Jamie and I were lucky enough to have the best room with the Sea view. It was phenomenal. Run by two wonderful hosts Catherine and Howard (Catherine will make you cry with laughter - what whit!) and the breakfast is on point. I'm secretly redesigning our bedroom in coastal hues haha. 

Back to Eastbourne. On the first night we got there (after my first standstill motorway experience) we raced down to the beach at Sundown before our first family meal. 

I've put the wedding pictures in a separate post as there are sooo many haha! 

The Pier is rather beautiful, so it was lovely to spend some time there enjoying the sunshine until the Seagulls decided to join us!

I went on a walk to get Margaux to nap and managed to find the most beautiful beach huts. It made me a bit sad that I couldn't take the pram on the stones for a lone paddle though. If we ever live by the sea in another life, I'll need an off roader buggy! 

Special mention to the photo above taken from our Hotel Room - Jamie taking Molly to fly her first kite at 7.30am! He's the best daddy. Thank you for everything you do for our children.

Beware Of The Trains: she wanted a picture with the trains so she didn't forget how special they were before after dinner ice-cream. 

Molly needed to cool down after mini golf (while I was walking I hate mini golf.. sorry mini golf family) so we found a play pool. All in all I think it was a rather perfect weekend. Just what the doctor ordered.

My favourite time of year.

I was going to do an outfit post but my eyes were too puffy so I ate my sorrows and watched Xfactor, sorry! 

Autumn leaves, tights and loafers, I am enjoying this time of year. I'm going to get Molly some little wellies and take her to stomp in the leaves and the mud I think. I'm as excited as I was the first time she touched grass, or felt rain on her nose. The little things we take for granted. I'm so excited for her first Christmas. When we get back from NY we're going to spend the night decorating and I wanna make a 'home movie' of it. I don't think there are any from when I was little. It's why I'm obsessed with photographing Molly. I need to write the christmas lists and hop to it. Today I begun and bought one of my Nephew's pressies and a surprise stocking filler for Jamie. So excited to wrap! This year I'm thinking brown paper, ribbon and wonderful labels.

Thanksgiving..

Molly has an eye infection. (Although I took this photo a week ago before there was sign of any crust). And as it's Thanksgiving in America I'm seeing this as an opportunity talk about what I am thankful for, my princess Miss Molly Rose Roberts. Born 10/2/2011 weighing in at 8lbs 10. Porker!

I'm so proud of this little lady. She's nine months and so far she can clap, wave, sit up, roll, crawl and  has grown eight teeth! She has the biggest interest in life. And she wants to explore every little spec, 'sing' every note she can, everything is gogogo. Jamie was supporting her standing earlier and she started taking steps forward and giggling to herself. It won't be long until she's tottling. Gosh I couldn't wait for her to sit up, and now, now everything is just speeding by. In the last two months she's only fallen asleep on me twice. When it used to be at least once a day. I'm back at uni now and she spends two days a week with her childminder. That's two days a week I miss out on her journey. I hate that. Not that I don't feel lucky that it only has to be two days and I'm doing something I love and I know she's very happy with Vicky. But it still pangs each time I drop her off and she waves her mummy bye bye.

I'm so thankful, I love her so much. Her tiny toes, her big round belly, her rolls on her upper arms and thighs. Her dainty hands, her beautiful brown hair, her giant eyes. Just perfect. I'm so proud of my clever, funny, inquisitive, content little baby. I hope she feels that, I always visualize my immense love for her radiating off me towards her. Is that weird? It's just incredible and it shakes me to the core. And I'm thankful for that. I'm thankful that she is my perfect little baby. Miss Molly Rose Roberts.
