Maxime and me.

We've had to delay the move into our new home! The white floors had a reaction with the polished varnish underneath, so we ended up with strips of yellow coming through - which unless you are partial to white and yellow, is really not ideal. But the amazing floor guys are re doing them as we speak with a different product, so the house should be ready for us by Wednesday next week, giving me more time to pack and sort out our current flat. Still trying to decide between a gloss or satin finish for the floors, I like both!

This photo was taken by my husband a couple days shy of three months, but I think you can see he is a bonny wee boy for his age. As you can see I wasn't very successful at getting him to smile on cue for the camera.

Three months old.

 

I'm cheating. Maxime turned twelve weeks last Thursday, but he isn't officially three months until Friday the 23rd. But since we are packing and moving house this Friday/Saturday, I felt I needed to do my three month post just a little early, to make sure it got done. He has changed so much in such a little amount of time. He now weighs 14 pounds, is 63 cm in height, and has a head size in the 98th percentile (let's hope that is because he has a big brain!). He also squeals with delight, gurgles, coos, chats and loves to be around people. We find it hard to believe he wasn't always here!

In other exciting news, my floorboards in our new home are now white! The third coat is going on on Thursday, I absolutely can't wait to move in. Will post some before and afters soon....

Happy three month-ish my little boy. I love you so much, you make me so happy, you are the best thing I have ever made. Ever.

Setting up the nursery.

Now that we have bought a home I can get to work on creating the nursery. First step, Maxime's name. I found this amazing woman who creates beautiful bunting out of old hessian sacks, and I love the organic and flawed feel to it. I think it will look incredible hanging above his cot, with white floors. I definitely prefer this type of bunting to fabric.
