Weaning baby Reuben

 So Reuben is four and half months old and gosh has it flown by! In away it makes me feel a little sad that its gone by so quickly, you really do have to cherish every single moment, but in other respects I'm proud of how far the both of us have come. He may only be four months old but he really is as bright as a button and quite ahead in his developments. Reuben also has an appetite like his Daddy and we have had to start weaning a little earlier than expected. It's fantastic, messy but fantastic. I thought I had a lot of washing before especially as I'm using 'real' nappies, well now there is A LOT more washing. I'm now seeing that teaching Reuben to blow raspberries the other week wasn't such a great idea..two words..Banana everywhere!

I know I'm slightly biased but I really do think he is the cutest baby I ever saw, I cannot describe to you just how much I love him! This photo was taken last week, and I am so so lucky to have a Mum who knits him the most beautiful clothes :)

 *SHOP NEWS* I have lots and lots of new items on my Realicoul folksy shop including these popular new necklaces.

So for now that is all, Reuben update and shop update. I'll  be back soon with photos of Reuben in his little Elf costume ;). Enjoy your Christmas shopping folks!

6 weeks old and Im sort of getting the hang of it

So Reuben is now six weeks old! The time really has flown by. I am finally no longer rattling with painkillers and meds and Reuben is sort of getting into a routine, so all seems really happy and well. He is a little munchkin and has just weighed in at 10lb7oz. He is still feeding every 2 hours so its hard for me to get any work done at the moment, but I did manage some button brooches once he went to bed last night :)

I will be updating my shops, blog and facebook as soon as I can grab a moment so please bear with me. x
