Home in London with Daddy
We were barely off the plane from New Zealand before Imogen was asking to go to the park to play on the swings and slide. As soon as the sun was up and we’d eaten our porridge we went out to our local park in London.
Imogen ran to the park with such enthusiasm, her little legs moving so fast. She wanted to show Daddy how she could climb the ladder to the slide after having plenty of practice playing in parks with her grandparents in New Zealand.
Seeing Imogen and her Daddy back together after eight weeks was incredible, they’d both missed one another so much. Between cuddles and play Imogen and Daddy are constantly chatting away about the adventures she had on holiday.
After lots of fresh air, sunshine and play it was time for a banana and drink before heading to Canary Wharf for a sandwich. We were lucky to have such beautiful weather and made the most of being outdoors.
Imogen was tired out after playing and had a nap soon after lunch so hubby and I enjoyed a leisurely walk along the River Thames before going home.
The Baby Style Guide to Wearing Sunglasses
Baby sunglasses are just so darn cute and handy for keeping harmful UV rays away from baby’s eyes. I bought Imogen’s sunglasses from John Lewis for our holiday in New Zealand. They’re pink and green with little roses on the frame and have category 3 lenses.
Imogen’s been wearing her sunglasses a lot over the past few weeks and has created the Baby Style Guide to Wearing Sunglasses.
1. When you’re learning to wear sunglasses it doesn’t matter if you put them on upside down or askew. So long as you put them on all by yourself and smile.
2. Watch grown ups. Copy how they keep their sunglasses from slipping down their nose.
3. Point to whatever you like in amazement. No one can see where you’re really looking.
4. If in doubt, use all fingers to get your sunglasses in exactly the right place.
First Ice Cream Cone
When it’s summer and you’re on holiday it’s a given there’ll be ice cream.
Imogen devoured her first ice cream cone from Kapiti Ice Cream in New Zealand. It was adorable watching her initial reaction to the cold ice cream. She had a look of wonder on her face as to why she was eating something so cold. When she realised it tasted amazing there was no stopping her and the entire ice cream cone disappeared.
She tried the White Chocolate and Raspberry ice cream which I also sampled and it was simply delicious and very decadent!
When did you enjoy your first ice cream cone?
