Finger Friends

Post arrives, what can this be? 

A treat from Peru!!!

One of Tyler's Aunt's, Richards sister has gone traveling, and sent Tyler his first present from around the world!!

She has sent him some finger puppets!! And they are rather cool, and bright! Certainly caught Tyler's Eye!! they are hand knitted as well!! So I haven't got much to write, I really just wanted to share some pictures with you!!

This is a clay Lama that she has sent, as Tyler has lots of Wade China figures of animals in his room passed down from my nan when she passed away, so now he has a little something to add to the collection.

Aren't they so groovy?!

Yours Sara&Tyler xoxo

It's here

IT'S ARRIVED!! Tyler's new car seat has arrived!! Tyler although only 4months old has already started to look a little uncomfortable in it, so we decided to get him a car seat for him that will last until he is 4! Which is great!!

We got it from  http://www.kiddicare.com/ even better it was on offer... Should have been £90.00.... We paid £49.90!! :)

Delivery was quick which I didn''t expect at all!! So I shall most definitely be shopping on their again, as we have already seen a walker we would like to get him :).

Time for some pictures!...

Trying out the goods!

Shall do a quick review on installing the product on the weekend :)

Love Sara&Tyler

A Quick note

So I have been a little naughty, I started a diet in January and did really well...... until mid-February!!

Slightly no very disappointed in myself as I am determined to have my body back in shape, I just need to realize its not going to come back just like that!! Constantly seeing celebs' with tinny tummies in a matter of months does not help

So i'm back at it now!! I shall keep you all posted on my progress, and what i'm doing to help!!

Who feels the same!? Anyone got any tips and tricks

Love Sara xoxo

Sunshine&Lollipops

Well today was an absolutely gorgeous day today in the usual wet Wales!! What gorgeous weather for March!

Even Tyler has been enjoying eat.. Today he felt the grass and got too look at it properly!! He really likes being outside, in the sun and seeing all the colours. Especially at nanny&granda's, (my parents). Their are lots of heather's, blossom trees, colourful flowers and plenty of nature.

Enough chatting, more pictures! To brighten your day.

The song that inspired my day&Blog;

"Sunshine Lollipops and rainbows

everything that us wonderful is

what I feel when we're

together"

Look who turned 4 months old!

My little boy is now 4 months!! Which means we can start weaning him on to solids!! How exciting!

I cant believe 4 months ago I meant this perfect little man for the first time, he's just gorgeous. I never knew it was possible to love someone so much, I don't think anyone can understand the meaning of love until they are a parent.

What can I do now i'm 4 months??..

• I know who my mommy and daddy are and I smile at them the most.
• I know my Auntie Tarnia really well, she comes to see me all the time... She spoils me rotten too *cheeky grin*
• I have learnt how to roll from my back to my belly!.. Mom found me with a surprise the first time I did it..
• I wriggle all the time.. So I wont be found in the same place as you left me.
• I can giggle and make lots of noises!
• I can sometimes roll from my belly to my back, but I still need to practice, it's harder than rolling back to belly!
• I am teething again, maybe i'll get a tooth come through soon. 
• I'm showing all the signs that I want to be on solids.
• I found my feet!!
• I can almost sit up without help
• I can hold my own bottle sometimes!!... Apparently I shouldn't be doing this until i'm 10months.. oops!

I wonder what I will learn over these next 4 weeks!?

I Love you baby boy.. My little Tyler Owain.

Love Sara&Tyler xoxo

What about the Daddies??

So, I got a few new follower's on my twitter, and realized that my blog is called "for the mommies" but really it should be for everyone?? What about the Daddies out their doing with a partner or doing it alone!

So for one I must apologize, and say that this blog is reviews on baby things, progress my baby makes, tips and advise as I experience things with my little boy. Letters to my son and just sometimes random rubbish! I don't think any of us mommy bloggers have thought about this?? Having a baby; Becoming a parents takes two!

Next I think i'm going to need to change the blog name!! What do you guys think?? Do you have any ideas!?

I hope the daddies out in the world of blogging can forgive me!!

Love Sara&Tyler xoxo

Packing for your new baby

So that all important day is near, we have already spoke about what to pack for yourself for this special moment in your life, now it's time to see what you need to pack for the bumbling baby in your belly.

So first things first;

• DON'T forget the Car Seat!! You wont be able to leave the hospital without it!
• 1 outfit for going home - when I had my bumbling boy, We didn't know what were having, waiting for a surprise. So we got a pink and a blue outfit to take with us as the outfit to wear leaving the hospital :) 
• 2/3 sleep suits and vests to wear during your time in the hospital.
• 2 hats
• Baby blanket
• Scratch mitts; you can buy baby grows with scratch mitts built onto the sleeves these are great as they can't fall off which means no scratch's!!
• Nappies!
• Baby wipes
• 2 pairs of socks and 1 pair of booties 
• Depending on the time of year, if winter you may need a think pram suit to keep baby warm when leaving to go home
• Some hospitals provide bottles if you intend to formula feed your baby, but make sure just in case you need to take your own. 
• Formula; you can buy cartons rather than taking a large tin
• Don't forget to take your baby a little teddy to cuddle next too

Once you have all this you are ready and set to go!

Hope this helps you and Good luck

Love Sara&Tyler xoxo

Dear Tyler

Yesterday you made my day super special.... On Mother Day, you giggled!! Really giggled, with a little squeal, it was so cute! Made me smile so much... in fact I got a tad emotional and felt like crying! 

Your growing up so fast!! 

Daddy and I are thinking about your first Birthday presents, we want it too be super special which means we want to start getting your presents!! (Birthday is in November!) hehe

Not only that but you also always talk to me! :) Which is nice.. Today I went to kitchen for a second, leaving you on your back.. When I came back through I found you on your belly :) 

Clever little boy! 

I want you to know, that you are very loved, by your daddy and I. We are always here for you.. No matter how old you get!

Love you lots from Mommy 

My First

My first mothers day 2012, was an amazing day. I got a card from my baby boy, with a beautiful message inside, my partner had even managed to get Tyler to hold a pen and have a scribble :)

I got Homemade Scones for Breakfast!

Yummmmm

I got Twilights, Breaking Dawn as a Gift, and Some online Shopping, (waiting for it all to arrive then I shall post a blog)

We spent the day relaxing, watching DVD's, playing monopoly and eating lots!

My day was perfect, how did you spend your mothers day?
