Last Sunday was a special day for us as we celebrated Maia’s christening and her first birthday with our closest family. Her real birthday is today, December 2nd (yay!!), but we decided to combine the two parties since our families don’t live in London and would travel from far to celebrate with us. It took Read More

Last month as a baby – Maia 11-months old!
I will only have a baby for three more weeks, I can’t believe it!! Ten days ago our little Maia Olivia turned 11-months and although physically she is only 80 grams bigger than last month – now weighing 6.98kg – she’s taken huge leaps in her development into a toddler girl. I am so proud Read More
10-months old baby Maia!
Not really a baby anymore, my girl is 10-months old! Or ten and half to be exact. For the last 10-days we’ve been fighting off a nasty cold but Maia is finally better. Which of course means that I have life outside snot rags and Calpol again, ha ha! Jokes aside, it’s been heart breaking Read More
Maia 9-months old!
Our little Maia has now been with us as long as I carried her in my belly. The past nine months have been the most emotionally overwhelming, amazing yet challenging months of my life! Nine months is a short time considering I can barely remember life without her. Nine months also feels like a short Read More
8-months old baby Maia – a busy bee with teeth
We are back home and holidays are over! This summer we had exceptionally long holidays because of our wedding – we were away from home for nearly four weeks over the summer! Amidst all of the travelling, our baby girl turned 8-months old – already three weeks ago. Over the summer she has developed into Read More
7-months old baby Maia
The other day I complained to Maia’s dad saying “Maia is getting so independent!”. He looked at me as if I’d completely lost it. In fairness it does sound a bit funny because our little girl isn’t exactly a low maintenance “I’ll just mind my own business”-kind of baby but what I meant is that Read More
6-months old baby Maia!
My happy baby girl is half way through her first year! I say happy because she has indeed been a smiley little thing recently. There was a rather fussy period before this (4-months old baby) and so I’ve really enjoyed the more content baby. I felt like Maia’s fourth and fifth months were a bit Read More
5-months old baby Maia
Maia is now 5-months (+10 days) old and I’m really struggling to find time for blogging! She’s no longer a “4-month monster” (read: 4-month old baby ) but is overall happier and we all sleep a bit better again but she’s definitely a handful! 😄 In fairness in the past month we’ve also been travelling Read More
4-months old baby – pushed outside of the comfort zone again
I hate to start on a negative tone but I’m really not loving this 4-months age so far. I obviously still love my adorable 4-months old baby to bits (!!) but this stage in her development is a challenging one. It has also been interesting, like I wrote in New baby milestones reached but it’s definitely also Read More
Mum life part 5/5 – Friday
It’s Friday! The last day of the week being on my own with my baby girl. Weekends no longer mean lie-ins or dinners out but with Maia’s daddy at home during the day I can share the baby duty, I have adult company, and we usually do something nice together. But before the weekend, here Read More
