Scarlett Grace's last few days

That moment on the changing table when you look away for a second, and your baby falls asleep - so beautiful!

Astonishingly, our baba is sleeping on average between 7.30pm - 6am without waking up (unlike her brother who didn't sleep through the night until he was THREE years old!) - a miracle baby, I know!!!! But watch this space..I haven't yet proclaimed myself a sleep guru ;-)

 I try to encourage wakefulness by engaging a lot with her during the day, and she's noticeably awake for longer stretches these days

She is becoming more and more mobile, her movements less jerky, and all in all a whole lot more fun with giggles and gurgling!

Doctor Erik had a day off work on Tuesday and wanted to see his niece, so we met up for brunch at Muriel's Kitchen  

Strolling around on the streets of South Kensington with my daughter in the sling - not sleep deprived, and feeling upbeat and happy

Did I mention I L.O.V.E being a full-time mum to my munchkin?!

A snippet of our weekend

We chose to have a quiet, chilled weekend, as last one was "full on", celebrating my birthday!

Sean befriending a girl in the local playground

Andrea came over with her two boys on Saturday morning, and Bear then took Sean and Andrea's 4 year old, Harry, to a local kids soft play zone called Jungle Gym!

In the meantime, Andrea and I took the young ones (Scarlett Grace and Freddie who is 15 months) for a stroll in the sunshine and rounded off the afternoon with a bite to eat at Chipotle

Sean got to dress up like his fave super hero, Captain America, and insisted on keeping it on when we went outside

New pretty quilted Spring coat that I bought in the sale from Marks and Spencer for only £7!

A selfie by the boating lake in Regent Park, after completing a 3k run 

Sharing a tender moment with Scarlett Grace (with a risk of her peeing on me LOL!)

Rounded of the weekend on Sunday with an early supper at  Zizzi -
We really like it because its 5 mins walk from us, child friendly with a separate 'Bambino menu', pram friendly with lots of space, a surprisingly good wine list and overall serves nice fresh Italian food both healthy and unhealthy :-)

Wham Bam get a tan!

Tip of the day - Chanel Soleil Intense Bronze, my secret weapon product :-)
Have a happy Friday and a good weekend - this is our last before going on skiing holiday!! #CountdownToCourchevel

The one where I explain happiness

Nothing in this world makes me happier than seeing my children smile (and being able to dress my daughter in pink girlie clothes! *wink*)

Birthday highlights

Forty-eight hours of fun!

We embraced my 38th birthday with sheer indulgence at the following venues:

Birthday weekend officially started!

Taxi to the Groucho Club purleese!

Seven days in March

Spring has sprung in London town!

Cheeky chappie, our little sunshine! (watch him here sing along to Pharrell's very popular song "Happy")

My friend of many many years, Ama, getting to know Scarlett Grace, with Sean providing full support

Bear's Dad on a flying visit from Scotland to meet his granddaughter, his 8th grandchild (and still counting!)

 Wherever he has lunch, chicken nuggets and chips and peas always seem to be on his menu!

Thinking of taking up golf..

Messy hair, don't care! 

 Don't mind if I do....Cheers..!

Soaking up this year's first proper rays of sun

After swimming in the Pavillion we headed over to the Mansion for lunch

Stoke Park has been a private country club since 1908

Penny for your thoughts, little man!

A light touch of Vitamin D for our baba, and caffeine for her Mama ;-)

Our five year old still needs to improve his photography technique LOL!

Today's baby pics

My little doll, now seven weeks old, lounging on her new bean bag. You can tell in these pictures that she's put on quite a lot of weight in the last couple of weeks, mainly on her cheeks and arms, and it's quite obvious that she's lost her curled-up newborn look.

I've started notice her making the beginnings of conversation in the form of these adorable coos and gurgles. And let's not talk about when she looks me straight in my eyes and gives me smiles - it truly melts my heart!

Inside Info

Dinner, drinks and dancing! Saturday night with dear friends at Gilgamesh

On a scale of 1-10, I'd rate my mood right now as: 9/10 as I ran three kilometres this morning without stopping, and it's such a great feeling of achievement :-)

...And it could only be improved by: food, a smile from my daughter

My favourite parts of my body are: boobies and legs

Bad habit I have: overanalysing things

How do I start the day: usually with a Nespresso coffee and a dash of cream together with a cheese omelette

Over the weekend I: went out with to Gilgamesh with good friends for dinner, drinks followed by a boogie until the small hours

My underwear drawer is full of: Spanx, all the way haha! (That however will change once I get back to my pre-preggo weight!)

I feel sexiest when: I have had an all over spray tan, in high heels and with salon-blowdried hair

I could never marry a guy who: have more beauty products than I!
