WHAT I WORE, WHAT MUMMY WORE

food glorious food!!

mummy was starving late last night and decided to do one of the 2 things one shouldn't do when hungry: look at pictures of yummy food. the other one is grocery shopping. well, she looked at the pictures of the food they ate at my aunty's birthday. she stroked the camera and smiled at the food and pretended to eat it. she told me that when they were kids, she and her cousins would flick through my granny's food magazines and point at pictures and whoever said 'MINE!' first got to 'have' that meal. obviously, the meal didnt appear - it was just 'theirs' in word. apparently many a bust up proceeded when someone claimed they said 'MINE!' first. punches would fly. real ones....over imaginary food.

well..i made it perfectly clear that i had no interest in playing this game. all i wanted was my milk and bed. i left her to it. she muttered that she and her cousins weren't that bad..she heard a story of 2 brothers who were discussing what they'd do if they found a dollar on the floor whilst walking home from school. the issue go out of hand when one of the brothers said he wouldn't share it. the other said 'but i found it!' next thing they had a punch up and had to be separated - over a dollar that wasn't even there!

hmm...i think my mum's generation was deprived.

last week tuesday...

.....was my aunty's birthday! we had a fun day going into bridgetown for a bit of sightseeing (and shocking prices), and then everyone came back to the hotel to get ready for the birthday dinner at Champers restaurant. mummy had been planning my outfit for weeks...ok months...however she just wasn't buying anything. each time she went for something she felt she couldn't justify spending some of the amounts on those dresses she saw. this trip, mummy wanted to avoid too much buying of things that would not be used again - by either of us. she resisted buying herself a new outfit and made the most of what she had. for me - she found this little playsuit for £5.99 in the gap sale and it went perfectly with the little cardi we got in paris.

i wore:

playsuit & shoes - baby gap

cardi - vertbaudet

mummy wore:

dress & necklace - mango

shoes - kurt geiger

bag - vintage

mummy, daddy & I

my beautiful aunty - happy birthday!

as soon as we sat down i fell asleep so i couldn't really tell you anything about the dinner. mummy says it was amazing. don't be fooled by my mummy's slight frame - she can eat! no-one really knows where the food goes. i think it goes to her mouth - cos she can talk! i'm going to publish this now before she comes to proof read! pics of the food coming up!

this time last week...

...i was on the beach in barbados! mummy and i had planned on updating you throughout our trip but alas, it never quite happened! for one mummy left the camera cable at home....

anyway - we went to barbados for my aunty funke's 40th birthday. there were 17 of us there and we had a fun time. i got to meet lots of my aunty's and uncles, and my granny was there too. i will share lots of pics with you once they have vetoed the ones that shouldn't go up - the vanity is in the bloodline! for now, here's mummy and I on the beach, enjoying the 28 degrees celsius heat!

after this we went for a spot of tennis, and mummy unleashed her inner 'Serena' much to the tennis balls' dismay. one by one she successfully launched each ball over the boundary fence, into an unsuspecting neighbour's back garden. lets just say she's sticking to fashion.

me with my granny. i was trying to record the tragic last moments of the balls life to be uploaded onto youtube...

afterwards we went for a dip in the pool which was right outside our door! here i am giving mummy some tips on winning at tennis...

i soon gave up and carried on swimming..

then i watched myself eat a biscuit :)

what i wore:

dress - baby gap (from aunty segs)

hairband - obaibi

swimsuit - monsoon find here

what mummy wore

dress - Lipsy

hat - gap

sandals - primark

i'm mobile!

hey peeps! well, what a busy week it was for mummy and i! our diary was packed and i was loving watching aunty's come and go! but...the highlight of my week came on tuesday morning. after weeks of bum shuffling, doing the worm on the floor, and crawling backwards - i finally cracked it!

have you ever been in dat situation where you end up under the chair?? (sung to this tune!)

back under the chair - again!!

i crawled down the corridor in one triumphant go! from that point on i was unstoppable! i've been exploring every nook and cranny! i can even fit under mummy's bed! perfect hiding spot. i have been going around the house pointing out bits in need of urgent DIY attention to daddy. and just when mummy thinks she can't sweep the house anymore, i point out that she missed a spot. this is great! the best thing is when mummy says 'come!' and i go off in the opposite direction - because i can!

as you can see, i don't have to sit around - bye mum!

leggings - baby gap

top - zara baby

cardi - next

bib - funky giraffe bibs

i love this - and guess what? taking my picture has become a whole lot more interesting. she definitely can't plonk me on the coffee table anymore. neither can she expect me to just sit still! i have toooo much catching up to do! did i mention the first thing i did after crawling into the living room was to stand at the coffee table? i'm practising cruising now - before you know it i'll be really mobile....hmmm...

hello washing machine buttons....

ok, back to practise!

p.s to see what my mummy wore yesterday go here: Styled by Tanaka - she said i'm getting a little too big for my boots now i'm mobile - so i gave her a time out.

paris finale: no romance without finance

on the last day i decided it was time we went somewhere i wanted to go for a change. i tried telling mummy and daddy where to go but no matter how much i said it they just smiled back. i knew they didnt get it, so i decided to direct them.
