There is something so deliciously adorable about babies straight after they have had their bath :) I really enjoy bath-time with Vivi and it's a lovely way for both of us to wind down after a busy day.
There is something to be said about just how fleeting the time is that you have with your child - in that they do grow up fast and before you know it time has gone by. And as time is passing you are eagerly awaiting the next stage of their development, yet at times I just stand back and really savour the way things are now. I love so many things about this stage - cuddling her before bed, the smiles she gives me when I'm singing to her as I wash her in the bath, the little noises she makes as though she's trying to tell us a story. There are so many moment, so many snapshots in time - too many to list here, but I'm sure anyone who has a child will understand where I'm coming from.
It is now 7:45pm, Viv is asleep upstairs in bed after a nice big feed and I'm enjoying the serentiy of the moment, staring out of the window and watching the rain and waiting for Tim to arrive home. All is well.

reading this made me feel so happy. I am so glad you are truly enjoying every moment with Vi even though you have been put through the mill with her feeding etc. I think lots of mothers with first babies wish there lives away waiting for that next milestone, (not in a bad way of course),so it was so nice to read you are 'stopping to smell the roses' Your an awesome mummy Fi xoxoxox
