Spring is Coming?

Last week has seen some extreme weather down in Whitstable. We had days of glorious sunshine which enabled Mike and I to take Charlie out for walks along the beach and have his first proper taste of the weather. He was able to sample the sea air and feel the sun on his face, all new experiences for him.

As the week progressed we saw the winds getting stronger and stronger and in Whitstable they really are blusts of biting air which cut through your clothes and leave your ears feeling numb (even with hat firmly planted on head). Sunday was no exception but despite this Mike and I wrapped up, put Charlie in his buggy, swaddled in several balnkets and headed out for a mothers day walk. The day was beautifully sunny even with the wind and when we reached the beach, the sea was at it most frantic. Waves crashing across the breakwater and rolling up the beach at a fast pace. The spring tides had arrived. I love it when the sea is like this, dramatic and exciting. It always makes me feel like squealing.

And then came the snow.........

The Charlie Bailey Catwalk Collection

It is hard to believe that Charlie is already the grand old age of one month and this week signifies a new routine for us all. Mike has returned to work after having a lovely long month off and is back to land of wood and carpentry and I have had my first week at home alone with my gorgeous son.


Charlie is growing a quite a rapid pace now which means he now has a much bigger choice of outfits to wear from his extensive wardrobe. As you can see he is sporting a variety of fashion items, his favourites being this fabulous Rocky Balboa style bathrobe, his gorgeous green number and his funky little outfit from the Duthies in Australia.



Bathtime has become a much more pleasurable experience, however I think Mike went slightly overboard with the bubbles on the last attempt. Charlie didn't seem to mind and it was an obvious choice for a photo opportunity.

We are looking forward to the coming weeks when Charlie will be getting more alert and growing and of course the number of outfits he will be able to wear will be endless.
