Hey
So Harry is now 15 weeks old so we thought we really should organise his Baptism. It's been a plan of mine and Davids for a while to start going to church on a Sunday so we've found a church nearby that we liked the look of. We went along last week to the service and booked a date for Harrys Baptism. It's going to take place on the 20th July, so after the church was booked we just needed to organise the reception afterwards.
We talked about this a while ago and thought that Fleetwood Football club would be an ideal place, as it's a little bit different and it looks really nice in the Parkside suite. We went along to view it on Wednesday and our date was free so it has all been booked. We even got a discount as David has a season ticket which is even better.
I found a really cute little suit for him to wear so will buy that closer to the time so I know the size will be correct, so now it's just the food to organise. I think we'll be doing that ourselves as it won't be a massive event so we should be able to manage between us to make enough for the people coming.
Quite excited now, his baptism and then a couple of weeks later is Stacey's weddings. Going to be an exciting few weeks!!

Organising a Hen Party...
Hey
Well I've not been around much lately, mainly due to looking after Harry and his ever increasing social life! He has more in my diary than I do.
He's also developed a but of a cough and sniffle and is also teething so he's being quite clingy with me. He doesn't really want to be put down at the moment, so I'm balancing a laptop at one side and him on the other at the moment. As soon as he nods off and I manage to put him down without him waking it's time for washing and cleaning.
As well as him I'm trying to sort a hen party for my friends wedding. She's decided on York races and then a meal and night out in York afterwards. She's booked the race tickets and hotel so I've got to sort the meal and the goody bags. Trying to get people organised and a 'yes or no' answer from them is ridiculous. People who really should be there have decided not to go. One of the bridesmaids is only coming to the night out!!
The goody bags will be given to the people who actually confirm they're going to be there in a reasonable amount of time as I need to sort things to go in them. I'm thinking as we were going to do a bit of a pamper day but then changed it to the races we should have a mixture of goodies in there. I've ordered the bags and some willy soaps, face wash sample and perfume samples so far. I've also got a willy mould so that I can make some chocolates closer to the day. I'm also going to put in the typical hen party badge/sash etc. Thinking of maybe a shot glass with names/hen party details on etc, if I can get the glasses cheap enough and I can decorate them with a glass pen myself.
Any other ideas of cheap things to go in the bag??

Water Babies part 2...
Hey
SO it's been a couple of weeks since posting, sorry!! Hubby has been poorly and Harry is awake a lot more now during the day so needs entertaining.
Just thought I'd do a quick post on how Harry's second water babies lesson went (seen as we're heading out this afternoon to his third lesson!). He did much better last week and didn't cry once. He was actually very happy and smiley the whole way through the lesson. We did the same routine in the lesson as the first week and all the babies were a bit more confident with what we were doing.
The lessons seem to have helped Harry's attitude at bath times too, he didn't really like the bath but his last few baths have been very calm and relaxed and involved him swimming on his back up and down the bath (my hands under his head obviously).
Harry has beena bit cranky over the past few days and I think he's most deffinately started teething. We also booked his baptism at the Church yesterday so now just have to figure out which people wewould like to be godparents are baptised and make the choice as to who we would like.
