Little Social Butterfly...

Since our last update, little Maddie has had a smashing time enjoying play dates, entertaining lovely guests and getting out and about with friends. We are making the most of every day that we have together before I have to start work again in May.

We were lucky enough to have a visit from our beautiful friends Eoghen and Tara (from down under) for a couple of nights which was wonderful. They are expecting their first baby in July, so they had loads of practice cuddles with Maddie. She particularly enjoyed the mad rantings of Eoghen and his 'baby in space' game which had Maddie flying through the air defying gravity (there is nothing more wonderful than the sound of a baby giggling with delight)!

Maddie also had visits from Howie, Barnie and Hudson the dog on Friday night and Cindy and Steve on Saturday night. She adores it when her grown up friend pop in because they always bring her beautiful gifts and smother her with kisses!

We had a great lunch in Soho yesterday with our lovely friend Sarah Bird and my boss Ian Morton (who doesn't normally 'do babies' but seems to rather enjoy hanging out with Maddie).

Maddie moved into her 'big girls cot' in her own bedroom last week. She is sleeping through the night and loves her new found independence (see pic of her snoozing under the blankie that her God Father Benny knitted)!

She has also been enjoying lovely play dates with her friends from baby massage and the pushy mothers exercise class. Maddie insists that I take her to the pub on a Friday afternoon for a spot of lunch and a couple of glasses of rose after our pushy mothers class so that she can play with her friends... Dylan, Gia and Ianna. Friday has now officially become known as 'Rose Friday' in our mothers group! Start as you mean to go on Maddie...

Lots of love until next time xx
