Baby Ariane

Today we got to meet baby Ariane, 5 days old and a beautiful petit little lady! She ate and slept and cried just a little, little bit when her nappy needed changing. Ana & Mark were so chilled and relaxed considering the life changing week they've just had. I just remember waddling around like a sleep deprived zombie and getting to grips with breast feeding. It does bring back memories and also shows what a journey Vera has been on for these last 18 months. From a little baby to a cheeky toodler! I look forward to seeing Ariane grow up!

Vera and I started off the morning by going to Scotsdales. They had a Santa and Santas grotto there, but the queue was 1 hour long and as Vera is still too young to get the concept of Santa we made do with the Christmas section and the pets. Vera was yelling at some parrots and the fish and then we got a few greeting cards and another Christmas decoration. I just can't help it! I'm so excited!

Me and Ariane. It was the best feeling to hold adorable Ariane, sleeping babies are soooo peaceful! Apart from sleeping and when she weas tiny, wriggly Vera has never been happy just being held, she's always off!
